My name is Kevin. I'm 15 years old, I'm from Sweden and I have Asperger syndrome.
A few years, my older brother showed me this clip of a bunny girl running around and advertising stores, which I thought looked really weird. I pretty much forgot about that I went on with my life. However, back in October 2010, I asked him what the hell that was, because I couldn't remember the name, and he told that it was episode 0 of this anime called "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". So, I started watching it. After watching all the episodes of season one, I was stunned. I couldn't imagine it being THIS good. I decided to name it my favorite anime of all time. which holds true even today. Ever since then, the Haruhi franchise has become like one of my main interests, also including Marilyn Manson, Korean pop, Horror movies, and so on.
But then, something even bigger happened.
It was January 15th, 2011. I was chatting with a friend of mine on YouTube and we were talking about Haruhi related stuff. "So have you seen the Haruhi movie?", she asked me. "No, the only way to see it is with that shitty camrip that's absolutely unwatchable." "Oh, didn't you know that someone uploaded the full movie in HD?" My eyes started to sparkle in delight as I told her I'd go see it right away.
Right now, it was around midnight, I had my laptop on my chest (Which was stupid). Anyway, I started watching the movie...After 3 and half hours...my eyes were dripping both sad and happy tears. I didn't give a damn if I woke up anyone. I started to weep as I hard as I could. It felt so good to just let it all out. I just saw the best movie ever, in my opinion. Before this, it was hard to decide to choose a favorite movie. It was always between 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' and 'The Godfather'. But now, it was obvious: 'The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya' is the perfect movie.
I then decided to wait a while until I watched it again. How long? Well, till December 16th, of course. Although it seemed like a really long time, it went really fast actually. So, December 16th finally came and I decided to watch it with my family. However, I noticed that the bootleg I got was pretty flawed. How so? Well, for one, the subtitles were appearing and disappearing at will, there were no special features to speak of and the menu's were bland. Although one good thing was that the Yasashii BÅkyaku single was included as a bonus CD. Obviously, I was not satisfied, so I got the official English DVD afterwards, which was miles better. I currently have seen the movie 7 times and I'm still not getting tired of it. It's still a damn masterpiece.
One other thing that changed after watching the movie was...well...my feelings torward Yuki Nagato. Before, I only saw her as a cute character that was just there, but now I see her as this beautiful goddess that I want to be with. Obviously, since she's just a fictional character, that wasn't going to happen. So instead I bought a Dakimakura pillow with a picture of her on it. You may think of me as a pathetic nerd, but I don't care. What I'm feeling is legit and I'm not ashamed of it.
However, the real story starts here...
