The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya [Blu-ray]

Very happy with my purchase

Ok, 2 major flaws for an otherwise awesome set. First, no choice of viewing order for the first season. I'd out this under the no big deal, but for some this might be a deal breaker, not for me. Second, and the sin of this set, the lack of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie which is the spiritual conclusion of the original 2 seasons (and the first quarter of the book series) and its not like a dub with the US voice cast doesn't exist (the US release was 2011). Now this is suppose to be the Ultimate Collection and I bought it under the assumption that this included the movie (my fault), so you'd believe everything was in it, but as the first point mention, there isn't even an option for the original broadcast order, which is a fun way to watch the series was was intentional made that way (even some of the stories in the book series are out of order).Also wanna point out that the movie is out of print and a blu-ray version is incredibly hard to find and expensive because of this. Its sad to know that the rest of the books will never be made into movies, but I think the frustration over the Endless Eight during the broadcast killed it for most (8 uniquely drawn, but pretty much the same episode).

Everything that anyone who didn't want to purchase the (now) $500 Japanese only release wants, and much more. Just missing the movie, probably comes out at a later date. Having the complete series in Blu Ray, regardless of "how it should be watched" is awesome. The art cards are whatever, but the episode guide is interesting to show the different "ways" Haruhi should be watched. Watching them in chronological story order does not deter the art style that much if you're engrossed in the story. It is auto-set to the 2009 rebroadcast order, which is chronological. Watch it whatever way you want. No one cares. Everything else is nitpicking.You also get the Haruhi-chan series and Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan complete series. I haven't watched the latter, but you get an entire box set of essentially 4 seasons of anime in a nifty package for a decent price. This is a love letter to the fans, finally a physical copy to set upon a shelf and admire.

I got this as a Christmas present and was informed they are a bunch of shorts. Boo!

I love this anime and was super excited for the collection, for everything you get, it's completely worth the money. I'm a little disappointed it doesn't come with the movie but that's fine. What bothers me is there is a space in one of the cases for an additional disc. Is it missing something? Unsure why that is.

This series of shorts had me laughing at almost every point. If you are a fan of the anime "Lucky Star" then be prepared to hear more of Konata than Haruhi in the way the voice actress gives her performance. Be sure to watch the original "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" before watching this so you get all the references.

The series is on blu ray. It's awesome.

Exceeds my expectations for how anime should be sold. You have three complete series here in one beautiful looking box with crisp blu ray picture. Haruhi still stands as one of the greatest anime stories ever told.

For starters I was surprised to find this blu ray box set to be region free, I have already seen all the anime beforehand just with crappy quality on DVD or stream but after seeing episode 1, boom the quality is a massive jump and look so nice. Well done blu ray compilation. Just wish it had the movie and would have been a true ultimate collection! :)

Es una de mis favoritas y es un deber tenerlo para todo fanático. La presentación es muy buena y es una excelente colección de las dos temporadas más spinoffs, y material extra, lo malo para mi es que los capitulos vienen en el orden cronológico, y en lo personal es más interesante verlo en el orden de transmisión original de la TV ( los capitulos salteados) ya que en el orden cronológico es más aburrido para los que no son fanáticos, tambien un punto menos es que no vienen con SUBTITULOS EN ESPAÑOL, además no incluye la pelicula. El producto llegó rapido y en perfecto estado, nuevo y sellado.

A very imaginative story, very different from anything Hollywood produces. A lot of the show is still slice-of-life story telling but it revolves around an interesting concept that constantly drives the characters and their stories. And like many of the animes I've seen so far it contains some really beautiful animation. There is an episode of the second series (The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) that is one absolutely astounding, with both the animation and music.I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes anime and slice-of-life stories about high school students, although this one also has a very strong science fiction element to it. The second series starts off a bit different because (from what I've heard) it is an alternate reality and Nagato (Along with Kyon) is the center of the story, but soon becomes an extension of the original Haruhi series with a very similar tone.

This box set not only let me pick up Seasons 1 & 2 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but also the Chibi Spinoff & The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan all at once. The latter two shows I didn't have too much interest in buying on their own, but after getting all three at once my opinion has definitely shifted. This multi-show set is definitely worth it! :)

El contenido es muy bueno, solamente se lamenta que no venga la película incluida entre los bluray y que el idioma solo sea inglés o japonés
