When I found the anime series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I was ecstatic. This comic splash, seamlessly travelling from cosmic science fiction to familiar high school nostalgia, was a masterpiece. “What I find incredible,” I said to a friend and co-watcher, “is that it’s so much more than just genre fiction.” I have now read the first three books. They are no more than genre fiction. The norm, of course, is for film and TV adaptations to capture a part or an essence of the book, and then for the full effect one digs up the cover. But Haruhi is just the opposite. With magnificent visual and musical schemes, and some of the most creative, detailed voice acting I’ve ever heard, the full effect is definitely in the series. The words themselves are not much different from what’s written in the books, but the scripts are perfectly timed out. They pair crackling dialogue--that slims down Kyon’s weighty inner monologue--with priceless pauses and reactions to create a flow that simply doesn’t exist in the books. There’s more to it, and all of it’s better. The greatest difference lies in the character of Kyon himself. In the series, he is a well rounded and likeable character. He is reserved and secretly sarcastic, but he stands tall and interacts without too much difficulty. He has a teenager’s raging hormones, certainly, but it is also believable that he could get a girl to like him, and so there is some romance in his lust. He over-controls his too-normal life, and doesn’t willingly sign up for adventures, which makes the wildness of the other characters seem healthy for him (and, perhaps, the viewer). It is believable that he grows to care for his randomly-assembled companions, and his surprised discovery of what is actually good for him is fascinating. Moreover,he is far more interesting than your standard straight man character because his clever inner monologue is a secret he shares with the audience. Unlike in a film noir script, Kyon is never as witty with other characters as he is with us, not even with his longtime best friends. We are his best friends, and so we can invest in his story more personally. In the books, Kyon is reduced to a leering, undercutting creep. Forget those seamless shifts from cosmic to domestic storytelling; Kyon is so casual, reluctant, sarcastic, and horny that even most extreme situations have an “and then this happened too” feel to them. Rather than interrupting the action to crack up the audience with his real thoughts, delivered with energy and surprise, Kyon goes on and on in his amusing but rarely hilarious sarcasm. A universe-threatening super-being surrounds him with beautiful girls because that’s really what it would take. I’ve given all the books I’ve read 4 stars because, while they are just genre fiction, they are readable and enjoyable genre fiction. Plus they get bonus marks for sparking one of the best shows I’ve ever had the good luck to see. Long live Haruhi!
