After having a marathon of all 14 eps of Haruhi, I must say the story is certainly interesting and kept me hooked. However, I will stop short by saying I wouldn't consider myself a "Haruhiist" yet as I didn't find it that amazing as much as the hype surrounding it says.

Yes, I actually did understand the majority of the major plot points of the series despite its weird broadcast order of the episodes (I had already figured out what the first broadcast episode was halfway into it). The characters had their usual personality traits and I must say I love the irrational and quick to act personality of Haruhi.

The scenes of her taking advantage of Mikuru always provides a great laugh and one notable scene I liked personally is the SOS Brigade playing that computer game against the Computer Society Club where Haruhi's team kept on being bombed five days in a row from just practising lol. The episodes where they tried to solve a murder case was another highlight as it had an unexpected conclusion.

I look forward to seeing season 2 of Haruhi along with the second season of Shana as well. I do however have some questions regarding the characters of Haruhi and how they affected the storyline.

1) I still find it hard to find an answer to why Haruhi chose Kyon out of all the people for her to create the world she lives in. Does anyone know why?

2) Could it be that Kyon wanted to create his own ideal world too that sparked a connection between him and Haruhi?

3) How did Haruhi end up possessing the power that she has?
