half true half false. you are right in the scence that Koizumi said that was the point of the serise. (keeping haruhi happy). but she also has to keep happy otherwise she could reconfigure the world. even though the anime is about coming of age and accepting the world for what it is, the world itself and the story still relies on her happiness.
Fair enough, but that's really more of a plot device to give us crazy hijinks, really, and to explore the philosophical idea of a childish, irresponsible deity that isn't Greek.
now, when does she get punsihed for her action. they cheated the baseball team. she never got punished for stealing the computer captins computer. i'n fact she got rewarded for that later when they beat the cheating computer sociaty and earned all the computers. the island seen didn't have any moments that required punishment, but her demands with the every day things, like the heater, and the S.O.S. logo and kyon, and the search for espers, alien, and timetravilers, really draged on with little learning. kyon did force her to look at herself more, but little was developed on that.
Well, she did get detention for the Bunny Girl act, but you'd probably need to read the books. Most of the TV Episodes are adaptations of the earlier stories in the novel series, but as the series progresses, she uses her reality-warping abilities less often and gets realistically reprimanded. There's even a story where the School Board attempts to confiscate the Literary Club Room from her.
Besides, she's basically the Ubermensch --->

care to elaborate on these two characters then. becuse i truly don't see much other than normal. by the way I don't get the "monky joke" or how it relates to not knowing the persons name.
I won't bother explaining the Monkey thing if you miss the point that clearly, but Kyon is SUPPOSED to be normal, and yet he's one of the most developed characters in the show. He's pragmatic, realistic, responsibly hormonal, he hates his nickname, and he's basically built up to be Haruhi's opposite in every sense. Again, you really kind've need to read the books, because the anime really only represents a small fraction of the series, and they're planning to release more anime seasons.
As for Koizumi, his entire personality is an act, by his own admittal, but he does give us glimpses of his real personality at times, like his raging homosexuality.
And his jealousy of Kyon's bond with Haruhi, a connection he can never have with anyone. There's other small hints, but no real BIG examples I can point you to since, unlike Nagato and Mikuru, he hasn't had his centric storyline yet.
care to give an example. as far as I go, i didn't see any streagth in her in the anime. if the manga is different than i apologies. I'd be wrong then.
The manga sucks ass, don't bother with it. Anyway, the books are full of examples, as I said. As for the anime, I can really only point to Big Mikuru, since Mikuru's character is dissatisfyingly developed in the anime, as I'll even admit.
wait. wasn't her name yuki or something like that.
Yuki Nagato.
but how would the computer president understand that? he doesn't know that haruhi is a god or that nagato is a supercomputer alien. he did that sherly out of being a jackass. shure he wanted his computer back, but haruhi illigaly stole it from him in the first place.
You don't have to know Haruhi is supernatural to know that. Haruhi is an expert at everything she tries. She can master the guitar in ten minutes, memorize songs in two or three reviews, and masters every sport she picks up in a day. She's INFAMOUS on the school campus for her capabilities.
And Haruhi didn't "steal" anything. She "Negotiated" herself a free computer. ^_^
that's true. it's not the shows fault, but it does ruin the show a little. (for ME at least)
Then you're shallow, and probably not the kind of two-dimensional person the series caters to in the first place.
yeah, I know luther wasn't a god. but alot of people refer to him a such so i though i'd just add him for the heck of it. the point i was trying to make here is just how annoy the fans can be. oh, and about greek gods. greek gods are quite interesting. they suffer from many of the same problems that humans do, they each have there own pourpose, there are usually large family ties, and even though they are one dimentional they at least arn't annoying like haruhi.
Haruhi being annoying is only your opinion, same as that of the Greek Gods. I personally find Haruhi to be one of the most complex and well-written characters ever to emerge in recent popular culture. The Greek Gods, in my opinion, are just lame ass caricatures like the Easter Bunny, that don't even TRY to have any depth or interesting qualities.
as for humor, humor is an opinion so your point is invalid. that doesn't mean that there were no funny parts in the show. there were, but i've seen a hell lot better.
I'm not talking from an opinionated viewpoint. Most of the humor IS subtle and unspoken, the kind of thing you have to sit and think about for a few minutes for it to come to you, like the plot of Evangelion. That's not opinion, that's an observable fact.
also. i noticed that you didn't provide any examples to back up your claims. care to explain yourself.
Well, I can't cite examples from the book without breaking copyright law, ass.
