I just finished watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2009 today. I heard some bad things about it, but I didn't think it would really be as bad as it turned out to be. I was so disappointed. After the first episode, which was probably the only well made episode, there were pretty much eight episodes that are nearly identical to each other. Then the rest of the episodes also turned out to be long and boring. What was it, five episodes showing the filming of the movie that was shown in the first episode of the original series? It pretty much showed the biggest character flaws in all of the characters too. At least I heard good things about the movie.
