It is mid-december, and SOS Brigade chief Haruhi Suzumiya announces that the Brigade is going to hold a Christmas party in their clubroom, with Japanese hotpot for dinner. The brigade members Kyon, Yuki Nagato, Mikuru Asahina and Itsuki Koizumi start preparing everything for the party, such as costumes and decorations. But a couple of days later, Kyon arrives at school only to find that Haruhi is missing. Not only that, but Mikuru claims she has never known Kyon before, Koizumi is also missing, and Yuki has become the sole member of the literature club. The SOS Brigade seems to have never existed, nor has Haruhi Suzumiya. No one in the school has ever heard about her… except for Kyon.

I was a fan when this first came out and I was waiting for this movie ever since I finished season 2! So I did watch it on KissAnime and it was amazing! 10 Stars! The story starts off with typical Kyon walking to the club room and he sees Nagato there reading a book. Then Haruhi bursts in and demands they do a Christmas party 8 days from now. So Kyon has to buy more materials for the party. Then he suddenly falls asleep at his house! Then he wakes up and when he went to school couple of things went on 1. Haruhi is Not there 2. Koizumi Is Not There 3. Asakura is back! 4. Miss Asahina is a normal human 5. Yuki Nagato in the literacy Club not SOS Brigade! 6. Kyon is being rude So then the story continues on when after two days of filler plots he finds out where Haruhi Is located! He runs over to the school and waited for Haruhi. But this Haruhi does not know who she is or does Koizumi!(Then the internet shut down) So I was only able to watch up until that point but I bet this will be a good ending! Its a must watch for any Suzumiya Fan or hater! Or even a anime fan at all.

Version I saw: UK DVD releaseActors: 6/10Plot/script: 7/10 Photography/visual style: 6/10Music/score: 7/10Overall: 7/10Disappearance is a fine addition to the Haruhi franchise that began with Nagaru Tanigawa's novels before being adapted into two confusingly-ordered seasons of anime. It begins by depriving us of the main character, before bringing her back in a blaze of glory that reminded us how fun she had been all along. It's light-hearted fun with a surprising existential undercurrent that in no way spoils the ride. As long as you have seen enough to be familiar with the main characters, you don't even have to wade through all of the anime series that comes before, although it does help.One wonders whether it is necessary, though. Arguably, this should just have been divided into 7 or 8 episodes and inserted into the series in place of the notorious 'Endless 8'. Some even say that it was, until someone came up with the bright idea that gave them a movie at comparatively little extra cost and effort. I'll leave that for you to decide.For my full review, see my independent film blog on Blogspot, Cinema Inferno: http://cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk

This was perhaps one of the best animated feature films I've ever seen. But you don't need me to tell you that. To start off, the animation style was pretty much identical to the anime series'. It was dazzling to see in 1080 P. I can't describe it in words, so you'll have to see it to believe it. The music was pretty well done as well. Using a combination of songs from the anime series and some newly composed songs, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya has a impressive repertoire. The background music is fantastic, and it fits very well with each scene. Lastly, the voice acting is amazing as well. The five original voice actors from the anime reprise their role in the movie as well. Again, you'll have to listen to it for yourself to believe it.If you're not a fan of the Haruhi series, this movie won't change your mind. But if you're a fan of the series or are interested in the series, this movie is well worth your time.It gets a 10/10 from me.

The movie "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" was...perfect. It was the greatest movie of all time. Sure, you may not agreed, but that's what i think. But I totally recommend you seeing this.First I need to point out that this is literally my first review ever written, so sorry if I really suck at this.Anyway, this movie is very different from the anime. It's much more serious and it actually made me cry. If you haven't seen the anime, you will get a little confused. Since the plot is heavily based on it. So please watch the anime first. It will be much easier to understand. But if you already are a fan, you should see this movie right away.Like I said before, i would say that this is the best movie of all time. And that's saying a lot coming from a guy who has seen "The Godfather", "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" and "Titanic". But this movie seems to have everything! Great music, lovable characters, smooth animation, good voice-acting and the list goes on! Another thing i should mention is it's length. This movie is 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Which makes it the second longest movie in Japan. (Right next to "Final Yamato") You may think that this is way too long, but i would say that the longer, the better.So overall, if you're a fan of the series or just want to see a good movie, check this one out. However, it's not for all ages. It's really sad and at times even scary. It should be rated PG-13. But still, check it out. It's a fun ride that you will never forget.Score: 10/10
