The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya—Hopes for any normal high school experiences are dashed on the first day for cynical, sarcastic Kyon after he meets pretty but eccentric Haruhi Suzumiya, who is athletic, brilliant, and bored with life. At Kyon's casual suggestion, Haruhi creates her own club that’s dedicated to finding and observing life's oddities, such as aliens, espers, and time travelers, who she believes walk among normal people. Kyon and three other students—Nagato, Mikuru, and Koizumi—who are attending this school because they believe Haruhi possesses a unique power are recruited to be members of the newly formed SOS Brigade.
