涼宮ハルヒの消失/ The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

Well well well. Here we have the film that was rewarded with the best animated film of 2010. Pretty epic reward but does it live up to it's reputation. Simple answer: YES!!!! A film of pretty epic proportions this again is a film that requires you to have seen the series or read the novels before watching(if you don't the whole experience is diminished by alot and you won't understand half of what happens). A word of advice for those who haven't read the novels or watched the series, if you want to watch this don't doubt what happens in it for a minute, because well, this is Haruhi and what she does never makes sense.
The story starts off with the group of five friends planning a christmas party at their school and break into the school at christmas and do it there because there is nothing better to do. The main protagonist Kyon wakes up the next day and experiences that his life has been seriously messed up somehow. It is like the events over the past year have been erased and Haruhi's presence along with it. She is nowhere to be found and their club "the SOS brigade" was never founded. The members of the club don't remember him and an entire classroom has completely vanished. Setting out to fix this screwup he turns to the only person who he believes can help him. When that fails he wanders aimlessly until his classmate mentions the name Suzumiya setting in motion a series of amazing events involving timetravel and just pure epicness.
This is without doubt the best anime film released in the year 2010. It is a must see for any Haruhi fan and just people who want to experience a fun world where normal rules don't apply. The movie has a good soundtrack and well some really really dramatic moments, like when he meets Haruhi again, I have to admit I almost cried... I am a sucker for good dramas.
Well there was one part of the film I didn't really like but maybe I just didn't understand it perfectly, that said this film is really deep and the movie stays true to the characters which is a must for any movie, and just what you would expect from a Haruhi movie.

It would be good if you could point out some things to talk about concerning movies. I always end up wanting to talk about the movie and the storyline and what happens but I don't think you want that :/
