If you're looking for a entertaining light-hearted for the most part and comedic anime then look no further as you have a great one right here. This series has already been out for a few years so the basic premise of the story shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but the annoying part before this set was trying to get it into an anime fans library for a decent price and not be paying an arm and a leg for it. Appreciated that they added both the first and second seasons to this entertaining series as while the first season was a bit pricey it was somewhat affordable but what sellers were asking for the second season set was beyond outrageous. The animation and soundtrack fit nicely together and are done very well as the animation has a mix of the anime series Clannad and Haganai and the soundtrack keeps a level paced tempo with the usual comedic outputs during certain humorous scenes. The voice cast both for the subbed and dubbed are very talented and performed voicing their character roles nicely.

Some English dubbed voices you are sure to have heard from video games like Crispin Freeman and Johnny Bosch both very talented as well as two other long standing talented anime voice actresses Wendee Lee and Michelle Ruff. So for fans who were looking to complete their collection of this entertaining series or those looking for an entertaining series then here you have one that's well worth adding to your anime collection.

The first season of "Haruhi Suzumiya" is guaranteed to cheer you up with cute sexual innuendos, scientific mumbo-jumbo and a symbolic religious message hidden underneath the fan service.

The show is based on an oddball story, focusing on a high school boy named Kyon, who meets an unusual high school girl named Haruhi Suzumiya. The girl is a strange firebrand, who is more interested in aliens, espers (psychics) and time travelers than in actual humans. Somehow, Kyon strikes up an unusual friendship with this girl.

However, Kyon never planned on getting involved with starting up Haruhi's own club, the S.O.S. Brigade. The club's mission is to spread happiness around the world, through all the fetishes that anime geeks would love. Aliens. Psychics. And an adorable time traveler girl with big breasts. The show pretty much covers all of Kyon's experiences with Haruhi, the bossy dominatrix who may have mysterious powers of her own.

Although it is hard to discuss this series without revealing some major spoilers, the show is a major hit with college anime clubs in America for many reasons. The first episode is a big home movie spoof, where the high school characters try to act like Haruhi's favorite anime characters in an embarrassing film project loaded with weird jokes. The ending credit sequence features the funniest and most infamous anime dance, performed by Haruhi and the other members of the S.O.S. Brigade. And the philosophical members of the S.O.S. Brigade always treat Haruhi like she's a supernatural being who has the willpower to change humanity as we know it.
