The MSN & Haruhism


In this week's edition of Newsweek in an aritcle about Youtube there is this comment,

Already, though, YouTube has become a major conduit of the popular buzz. A cartoon aired by a local TV station, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, has become a national phenomenon, thanks to more than 2,000 related clips, including parodies, now available on YouTube.

But Newsweeks is not the issue man; The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the issue. Basically I am saying, get your butt on Youtube right now and watch the 14 episodes of this show. It aired in Japan from April to July of this year, and like the quote above says has become a phenomenon. The show has everything, nazis, vampires, Godzilla, Cary Grant in drag, crazed monks trying to kill the last decendent of Christ (who as luck would have it is a Japanese school girl).

Ok I lied the show has none of those, but still it is the best seven hours you'll spend this side of Cowboy Bebop. The picture is there to turn you guys to haruhism.
