"The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" Review:
The Japanese animation movie "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" was interesting and rather amusing. The main theme and storyline of this Japanese animation movie tie in with the original anime series. However, even without seeing the series, this movie can still leave a good impression and will likely lead the viewer interested to watch the original series. The screenplay itself has a lot of depth and successfully portrays the uniqueness.

Another thing to note about this movie is its length. This Japanese animation movie is approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes long. Which makes it the second longest movie in Japan. This could be a good and bad thing, 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 animation movie, check this great movie with amazing screenplay and animation out.
