Haruhi Copypasta

[dominus]

Thought this was interesting:

The "second season" drove me to rewatch the older episodes and I was led to a Freudian interpretation of the series. Observe.

Haruhi: Invokes the subconscious. All her subconscious desires are made manifest in reality. It is implied in the first episode that Kyon subconsciously craves a world of time travelers, aliens, and espers. (By contrast, Haruhi consciously desires these things.) According to Freud, our dreams are manifestations of our subconscious will. The climatic scene where Haruhi begins to remake the universe occurs within what becomes a shared dream between Haruhi and Kyon.

Mikuru: Invokes the id. Kyon, normally cynical, rational, and clear-minded is overcome with lust around Mikuru. She is so MOE and appeals to Kyon's most base desires.

Yuki: Invokes the super-ego. Is designed as a human interface--the super-ego allows us to rationalize our desires in a culturally acceptable way. And what else can contrast the id more starkly than cold, cool logic?

Koizumi: Invokes the ego. Of the three, Koizumi is the one character who most often pulls Kyon aside and advises him on how to handle a given situation. The ego gives us direction and balances the id with the super-ego. Also notice how Koizumi tries to remain as neutral and agreeable as possible.

Something to distract us from ENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHTENDLESSEIGHT

Wow... I'm stunned. I mean it is all true. Probably the producers had this in mind when they were deciding on each character's development and personality.

Looking at this now, I wonder why didn't my Social Science professor use Haruhi as an example to explain this theory. If that was done, I would have received an A for that class for sure. lol.

Thanks for the distraction. Endless Eight is becoming a pain now. I think that by next episode, I would have memorized most of the lines of the episode.

I haven't been watching endless eight.

One season of this mindfuckery is enough for me for a while....

[MetalGearSilux]

But at least you enjoyed that mindfuckery, right? I mean sure, avoid the endless eight episodes since, well, THAT will be true mindfuckery. Otherwise, give it another try. You wont be disappointed... until the now-infamous endless eight section. I sooooo want to murder whoever came up with this idea in KyoAni. I shall add that to my summer task list... kukuku.

[ShadownetZero]

I honestly don't even KNOW if I liked it. I mean I don't hate it..I think....

Remembers season 1

*brain asplodes*

GAH! MOTHER****ING HARUHI!!!!!!!

[dominus]

I know I've memorized the lines by now. The best is still when Koizumi says "I lavu you!" in the stargazing scene.

[MetalGearSilux]

I second Koizumi's line. I love how he just says it... speaking of which, question for all Haruhist... how will the Endless Eight be resolved? I'm leaning towards something regarding a plane but, at the same time, having KYon actually say "I love you" to Haruhi in a plane. IDK why but it is just a speculation.

[ceredron]

On a mildly unrelated note, there is very little more satisfying than the episode where Haruhi and co. defeat the computer club at that space battle game.

[MetalGearSilux]

HAHAHA!! Oh that was classic. Its one of those episodes that has to be one of your top 5 Haruhi episodes. That's it, I'm watching that again. Thanks ceredron for making my day!
