Written before the text: This article is not about the 2006 version of Suzumiya's film review, but an analysis of the entire Suzumiya story. All remarks are not guaranteed to be correct, so please listen to them.
Warning: There are serious spoilers about the plot that has not been animated in the article, I am afraid that spoilers will not pass!
1. Is Haruhi Suzumiya a masterpiece?
The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. Suzumiya is an extremely fan-oriented work. People who like it like it very much, and people who don't accept it don't understand what the hell is this story. Suzumiya Haruhi is indeed a story that is not easy to categorize. It has all elements, and it resembles everything, but it is nothing. This is also the unique aspect of Suzumiya. Whether it is in the field of light novels or animation, it is an unprecedented and unique story. It is these unique properties that in the eyes of those who like it, Suzumiya is an absolute masterpiece, and its status is much higher than those of the famous works on the public list.
2. Haruhi Suzumiya's middle and second
relationship This is a topic that is often debated between fans and non-fans. Whether Haruhi Suzumiya is a middle schooler or not, I think we must first figure out what a middle school story and a middle school disease story are.
The second story: Generally speaking, a story with the protagonist's ability to save the world, and the world simply revolves around the protagonist, is considered a second story. Most of the hot-blooded online novels and fantasy fighting anime belong to this category.
The story of the second disease: The characters in the story always imagine that they have superior abilities and shoulder the mission of saving the world. The world revolves around them, but the setting of the story is a daily setting, and there is no setting basis for special abilities. This kind of character usually appears in funny everyday drama anime.
Looking back at Haruhi Suzumiya, I found that it has both the dual attributes of the middle two stories and the middle two disease stories at the same time. On the one hand, Suzumiya has the character of the second-order disease, fantasizes about strange events happening in the world, and longs for the ability to transform the world and influence the world, on the other hand, she knows that she is in an ordinary real world. At the same time, she really has the strange ability to affect the world, but she doesn't know it. It can be seen as what the world will look like when the fantasy of a chuunio becomes reality.
3. Haruhi Suzumiya's harem
Haruhi Suzumiya is indeed a harem story, you can even think of it as a love story. The ultimate driving force and core of the story is the emotional relationship between Suzumiya and Axu. The confused girl 1966 and Mengshen Nagato really like Axu. Axu also has different feelings for several heroines, and hope to keep close forever. relationship, do not want outsiders to interfere. The essence of the story is indeed a very common theme, but what determines the level of the story is the way the story is told. Compared with the usual twisted harem stories, Suzumiya, dressed in sci-fi suspense, is simply refreshing and refined to a realm.
In addition to the middle and second directions and the harem, Suzumiya also contains various elements that are popular nowadays: daily clubs, super power battles, sci-fi, detective reasoning, and even sports competitions, etc. It is very mixed, but these are all gimmicks. The core elements of the story are still love and suspense. How to tell an extremely popular youth love story in a majestic and profound way is the achievement of Haruhi Suzumiya.
4. Is Haruhi Suzumiya a good person?
If the harem competition is just a competition of who has more advantages, it would be too superficial. The charm of Haruhi Suzumiya herself is that she is not a perfect person, but an image with complex human nature. In the plot of [The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya] filming the cultural festival movie, the plot of Suzumiya deliberately bullying the 1966 because of jealousy, is the black spot that many people can't really like Suzumiya. But I think this part is the most vivid plot in the entire Suzumiya story. It is rare in the entire history of animation to blacken the heroine of your own writing so recklessly, especially if you are originally going to create a character that everyone loves. Tanigawa-ryu's peculiar characterization method is destined to be an extreme fan-oriented story. He is using a sword to divide fans and non-fans. People who can't understand Suzumiya's complex human nature, please stop, don't have to move forward, it seems talking.
The moment Suzumiya threw Nineteen Six into the pool, she was indeed evil, a kind of evil burning with jealousy, a low-level emotion that generally exists only in the second female lead or the villain. But this evil is very real, as real as Suzumiya's childishness. [The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya] is the most successful part in shaping the characters in the whole story. It is the time when the contradictions within the group are the most intensified, and the feelings of Akatsuki towards Suzumiya are the most contradictory.
So is Suzumiya any good? When you can't understand this person, Suzumiya is really hard to like; but when you really see the radiance that radiates from her, and understand how rare this radiance is in the real world, the advantage of Suzumiya is It will greatly cover up her shortcomings, and she will be like A Xu, no matter what happens in the future, she will always follow her.
5. Axu's feelings for
Suzumiya Suzumiya liked Axu, it was well known from the beginning, why didn't Axu know it himself? It's not that I don't know, I just don't want to face it.
Suzumiya can be very direct in everything, and can be very active, or even forcefully seize it. Why is she so dishonest in the face of A Xu? Why didn't she confess to Ah Xu boldly, and even forced Ah Xu to accept her? Because although Suzumiya loves fantasies, she still has basic common sense. She knows that some things can be forced, and some things cannot be forced. Although she seems to be fearless on the surface, she is actually very afraid of failure. Axu is too important to her, she can't bear the consequences of failure, because of the pressure of 1966, she even subconsciously wants to completely escape this world where Axu cannot be obtained.
And A Xu was resistant to Suzumiya at first. A Xu's own reason told him that the girl he liked was not a girl like Suzumiya, neither gentle nor unreasonable. His physical sense told him that he liked girls like Nineteen Six, who were beautiful, gentle and polite, so weak that he wanted to protect them all the time. However, the innermost thoughts of a person are often not clear to themselves.
Due to A Xu's resistance, although Gu Quan and the others knew that their mission was to make do with A Xu and Suzumiya, they did not dare to act rashly, for fear of arousing A Xu's resentment and backfired. So when Suzumiya brought Axu into the locked space, they could only use the allusions of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to remind him. Even so, Ah Xu didn't feel that he was resisting his feelings for Suzumiya, just as he was resisting his real expectations for this world.
6. Axu's real expectations for the world
Axu has repeatedly stated that he wants to live a normal high school life, without aliens, future people, no superpowers, and does not know any Haruhi Suzumiya.
However, when Nagato really handed over such an ordinary world to A Xu, and there was really no Haruhi Suzumiya, A Xu was reluctant.
It is because, from the very beginning, I sincerely hope that this world will be full of miracles, and the person who is eager to see aliens, future people, superpowers, and people from other worlds is not Haruhi Suzumiya, but Akatsuki. What Haruhi Suzumiya was looking forward to was the John Smith whom he met on Tanabata three years ago. The aliens, future people, and superpowers summoned by Suzumiya played together, not their own wishes, but Ah Xu's wishes. And it's not Haruhi Suzumiya who has been experiencing and feeling those adventures. Haruhi Suzumiya's life has always been dull, but he just established a club to spend more time with Ah Xu; under the guise of finding incredible events, he hopes to draw lots and A Xu's group is just to be with A Xu. It has always been Axu playing with the alien future superpowers and experiencing those dreamy fantasies.
The theme of the story is to escape the ordinary and boring life, so those who seek authenticity in the story have a problem with their brains.
7. Axu's contradictory
stories are always going on from Axu's perspective. We are substituting into the story through Axu's feelings. We can experience those feelings because we have the same contradictions as Axu.
Everyone's life is like the beginning of the story. As depicted by A Xu, we have already passed the age of believing in false fantasies and have accepted the setting that life is bland. But deep down, he is still longing for something, expecting something different to happen in this world.
Similarly for relationships, life tells us that a beautiful and gentle girl like 1966 is the perfect love object, but deep down, there is a different voice. Besides, it seems too bland, and I hope to be more different. s things. Although those things are not all good, and some even ask for trouble, but people's psychology is so strange, if you don't toss enough, you won't feel like you've really been in love.
8. The formation of the
SOS group The formation of the SOS group was not achieved overnight, but experienced a long period of conflict and integration.
From the very beginning, Suzumiya's fundamental motivation for forming a group was to spend as much time with Ah Xu as possible. Although she really expected incredible events, she knew in her heart that those fantasies were unlikely to come true. Therefore, she has never been really troubled because she couldn't find an incredible event, but only became unstable because she couldn't grasp Ah Xu's emotions.
Therefore, she didn't care who the SOS group was looking for, she just wanted to make up enough people.
Suzumiya found Nagato just because Nagato was waiting there, and Suzumiya just needed a venue and a number of people.
Suzumiya had a purpose in finding Nineteen Six, but not to find a mascot, but to keep Ah Xu. Suzumiya found the nineteen-six based on speculation about Ah Xu's aesthetics, hoping that Ah Xu could take the initiative to stay in the group. Although she can forcibly hold Ah Xu once or twice, she cannot force him forever. And the appearance of Nineteen Six really made Ah Kun willing to stay. But at the same time, Ah Xu's favorable impression of 1966 also made her miserable. Suzumiya's bullying of 1966 was intentionally or unintentionally trying to lower the other party, so as to defeat the other party psychologically. This naive strategy ended with Ah Xu's final outbreak.
Suzumiya finds Koizumi, the only member who barely fits the original intent of the incredible mystery. In Suzumiya's sanity, in this ordinary campus world, the only people who can barely get along with mysterious events are the freshmen who are transferred halfway. Koizumi is the only veil that Suzumiya conceals his true purpose.
Because the SOS group was only formed by Suzumiya's wishful thinking from the very beginning, the original SOS group was not united, and the members were each in a mess.
Sanwu Nagato is only performing tasks, and at this time, he has no emotional attributes, just watching from the sidelines.
The Nineteenth Sixth was also for a task that he didn't quite understand.
Koizumi is also scheming, knowing the power of Suzumiya, and trembling with fear, the dike made a mistake.
All this has to go through a long run-in, and after Suzumiya gradually matured, the SOS group finally became the SOS group.
9. The world view of Haruhi Suzumiya
[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya] is the first big paragraph of the whole story, and it is also a part of the world view that lays the whole story. I have never seen such a strange world view setting, which shows that the young and talented Tanigawa has huge ambitions.
In fact, there are four people around Suzumiya, and each person represents a concept of world structure, so there are four world views.
The alien Nagato represents an information-based worldview. This world is composed of all kinds of information. All material entities such as atoms and molecules are just various information codes. By manipulating information, the shape of atoms and molecules can be reconstructed. The awakening of Haruhi Suzumiya, for the information integrated mind body, is a big explosion of information, which may contain information that is beneficial to self-discipline evolution, so he sent Nagato and other humanoid interfaces to the earth to collect information.
The world view of time and space represented by the future people. One day mankind invented a time machine, which can parse time into planes and move between different planes. Even so, time and space are not static, and changes to past events may affect the existence of future time and space. The so-called given event is not something that will definitely happen, but something that must happen for a given future time and space. Nineteen Sixteen was dispatched from the future to ensure the occurrence of predetermined events and the existence of a future world capable of inventing time machines. Why can't the time machine go back three years ago, when Kasuga awakened and consulted the world before the explosion? Because the world has changed at that time, one is the world that developed normally, and humans did not invent time machines; the other was the world that was changed by Suzumiya, a world full of unusual events, a world where humans could invent time machines. The purpose of returning to the present on the 19th Sixth is to ensure the continued existence of this unusual world. If the given events that prompted the time machine could not happen, then the future world born in Nineteen Sixteen would not exist, and certainly would not return to the present.
The superhuman Koizumi, the representative of the Suzumiya mythology. This world exists because of Suzumiya, and it is likely that this world came into being three years ago. We found that the worldviews of these three individuals are independent of each other, but they are not contradictory either. If this world is another world that split from the world that was normally developed because of Suzumiya's awakening, then this world has only existed for three years, and Suzumiya is indeed the god of this world.
So the question is, how does Ah Xu face such a world?
Ordinary person Ah Xu is an ordinary ordinary person from every aspect, and the worldview he represents is of course the most ordinary worldview. There is no Santa Claus in the world, and there are no incredible mysterious events. As for people, they should just live a normal life. However, A Xu, an ordinary person, was brought into a strange world by Suzumiya.
10. Where are the people from another world?
In Suzumiya's declaration of society, it does include aliens, future people, superhumans, and people from other worlds.
As far as the current plot is concerned, the alien Nagato, the future man 1966, and the superhuman Koizumi have all been reported, and the aliens are the only ones missing. As far as the creation rules of suspense stories are concerned, it is impossible to create completely meaningless information for no reason, and the answer to the biggest suspense often exists at the very beginning of the story.
Regarding people from other worlds, it is impossible to be late in the follow-up story, but must have appeared long ago.
For the author, there are only two possible answers. One is that Ah Xu is a person from another world, and the reason will be revealed in the story; The ordinary world was transformed by Suzumiya into a different world. Compared with the original world, all the people living here are from another world.
After the adult 1966, he said that the differentiated time and space will eventually converge, perhaps implying that this different world will eventually return to normal, and Suzumiya's ability will also disappear.
11. Sanwu Nagato and Dead House Nagato
Sanwu Nagato itself has no emotional attributes, but in the endless August of 15,000 reincarnations, he developed an interest in emotional experience.
She transferred Suzumiya's ability to create a world, created a world without strange phenomena, and reset her own character to become an ordinary human with emotions - Dead House Nagato. Dead House Nagato is shy and likes to play games.
She catered to Ah Xu's verbal complaints and gave Ah Xu the normal world he kept saying he wanted. But Ah Xu has already experienced those strange experiences. For him, although these experiences are bizarre, they are real, and they are also what he likes. Compared to experiencing an ordinary life in an ordinary world, he still prefers to be a person from a different world in an extraordinary world.
This episode, on the one hand, made Ah Xu realize that Haruhi Suzumiya meant more to him than he thought; on the other hand, through the personal experience of human emotions, Sanwu Nagato really began to integrate into the SOS group, rather than a completely ruthless bystander.
The SOS group was finally strong and was able to defeat the pseudo-SOS group, because it was no longer a piece of loose sand, but a real emotional community that was closely connected with each other. Even the alien robot Nagato, who had no emotions at all, has belonged in the group. sense.
Although Nagato did not get Ah Xu in the end, this experience has allowed Nagato to experience the beauty of human relationships. Although Sanwu Nagato refuses to synchronize the memories of the dead house Nagato, she has inevitably been stained with humanity. She herself said that this is the information garbage left by time, but in her heart she cherishes the emotions, trust and mutual care built with human beings. This also makes her go beyond the general emotionless alien robot, or in other words, human nature is the most important part of her self-discipline evolution.
12. Nineteen Six and Fujiwara
Nineteen Six and Fujiwara are both future people, and they are brothers and sisters in some form. It is not known exactly how, what can only be confirmed is that the nineteen six and Fujiwara who are currently on the stage come from different future time and space .
Nineteen Six as a future person, she is a strange future person. If Fujiwara is a future person who has read the script and knows what happened in the past; then the 1966 is someone who has not read the script, and came to this time and space with almost no knowledge, and to complete the task must rely on more Future Adult Nineteen Six assists. Why send a stupid future man on a mission? And it's a very important task. Perhaps Tanigawa-ryu believes that even if human beings can one day penetrate the mysteries of time and gain insight into the future and the past, it is better to maintain a little sense of awe for the unknown. Otherwise, like Fujiwara, he thinks he is in control of the overall situation, and he is arrogant and clever, but in the end it will still be self-defeating. The advantage of the stupid 1966 is that it will interfere as little as possible with the development of past history, because although she comes from the future, she is also a pure historical participant.
The mission of 1966 is actually very simple. There is only one task, that is, to ensure that the time machine can be invented and to assist in the occurrence of those predetermined events that make the time machine appear smoothly. The source of all the predetermined events is the awakening of Haruhi Suzumiya, the explosion of information, and the emergence of a new world, and the predetermined events that prompted Haruhi Suzumiya to wake up are the adventures of the Tanabata festival three years ago: John Smith from the future and the young Haruhi Suzumiya meet. It was Nineteen Six that made this happen.
Logically speaking, it is the creation of the time machine itself that prompted its creation, or more generally speaking, the mother of the time machine is the time machine itself. Such logical paradoxes are unavoidable in almost all time-travel suspense-themed stories.
13. Haruhi Suzumiya and Sasaki
involve the question of who is the true god, and the essence of this question is actually a question that can no longer be vulgar.
Both Suzumiya and Sasaki chose Axu, you can say, this is called God's choice. But the question is, who is the real God? Or, who is the real center of the story?
Although the names of the stories are all called Haruhi Suzumiya or something, it seems that the stories are all developed in Haruhi Suzumiya at Microsoft. The perspective of the story, however, has always been the perspective of Ah Xu, who we are experiencing the story with his eyes.
Koizumi once used an analogy between the relationship between the king and the queen in chess, meaning that the relationship between Akatsuki and Suzumiya is like the relationship between the king and the queen. The queen is very powerful, but it always runs with the king as the core. If there is no king, the queen will have nothing but force and nothing.
For Suzumiya, anyone and everything in this world can be sacrificed, but A Xu, the king, cannot. The queen exists to keep the king.
So why are Suzumiya and Sasaki both strange powers?
As mentioned earlier, the biggest suspense is often answered at the beginning of the story. Sasaki is not a character who was created out of thin air, she appeared in a special form at the very beginning of the story. Kunikida broke the news from the very beginning that Axu liked to hang out with strange girls when he was in junior high school. This strange girl is Sasaki, and her status is no worse than that of Suzumiya at the beginning.
So the core of the problem is not that Suzumiya and Sasaki chose Axu, but who Axu chose.
A Xu is the core of the whole story, A Xu is the one who gave Suzumiya divine power.
Both Suzumiya and Sasaki have the same qualifications to obtain divine power, and in the end Suzumiya obtained divine power, while Sasaki only has the candidacy. The reason for this result lies in the difference between Suzumiya and Sasaki.
Suzumiya is an action-oriented person. As long as he wants to do something, he will do it immediately, whether it is successful or not. This is the case with everything she does, including how to win Axu. She doesn't know if she can get Axu, but she must act immediately. Give up easily.
In comparison, Sasaki is a thinker, although she has similar goals as Suzumiya, she also wants to influence the world, and she also wants to get Axu. But she doesn't act right away, and always needs to think carefully before making a judgment. Including this act of stealing Suzumiya's divine power, she hesitated and said a lot of truths, but she herself didn't know whether it was good or not. And most importantly, she gave up easily. In junior high school, she left Ah Xu and went to another school without waiting for Ah Xu's confession; but this time the operation to steal Suzumiya's divine power failed, and she took the initiative to quit again.
Let's take a look at Suzumiya's behavior. Before high school, she and A Xu only met once. She has been reluctant to give up since then. And three years later, she didn't know if she could find John Smith, who had only seen him once, but even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she would not give up. However, fate favored her, she still found A Xu, and tried her best to be with A Xu.
The so-called never-ending August, but she can't tolerate this short vacation, even if she can't spend one day with Ah Xu. Although she never said it, she hoped that A Xu could understand her affectionate feelings.
After Ah Xu got angry with Suzumiya because of the 1966, he was originally furious, but because he heard Taniguchi complaining about Suzumiya, he suddenly forgave Suzumiya. Suzumiya is very stupid and always messes around, but compared to Taniguchi who can only talk things up, Suzumiya is at least acting and working hard.
A Xu often compares himself to Taniguchi, thinking that he is only on the same level as the ordinary Taniguchi, that everything will only be fast with words, but he will not put in any effort. But he also looked down on Taniguchi like this, and he also looked down on himself like this. This is what he said about the ordinary life, and it is also a mediocre life. Deep in his heart, he longed for a better life. And Suzumiya, like a sun shining into his life. Suzumiya is better than the average person, it's not how smart she is, A Xu has always known that she is an idiot, but she works hard enough, she has a steady stream of strength, vitality, and radiance, and this is A Virtual most wanted.
Why did Akatsuki and Sasaki stay together for so long, but didn't really like her? Although Sasaki is smart enough, Sasaki is an introverted person, her intelligence can only help herself, she cannot radiate light. And Ah Xu is a planet that cannot emit light by itself. He needs a star, a sun, and a piece of sunlight to make him truly come alive. The only person who can bring him this kind of energy is Suzumiya.
A person who can find a sense of substitution from A Xu is a person like A Xu in reality.
14. Haruhi Suzumiya and Taishui Crossing Bridge
This is a new way to play Tanigawa.
Suzumiya and Tobashi are two sides of the same person.
Suzumiya is a disguised self. She pretends that she is strong, proud, and confident; in fact, she is weak, not proud, and has low self-esteem, just like crossing the bridge without all the pretense.
Duqiao looks petite, because when Suzumiya first met A Xu, she was a middle school student, so she called A Xu a senior.
Duqiao was very curious about Axu, so he called to inquire, and even trespassed into Axu's room to find out. These are all things Suzumiya wanted to do but dared not do.
Suzumiya wants to live as a bridge, but her ego makes it impossible for her, she must bluff to cover herself.
The appearance of the bridge made Ah Xu realize the other side of Suzumiya, or the essence, which prompted Ah Xu to finally fully accept Haruhi Suzumiya from his heart.
He has already begun to fear that he will lose Suzumiya, and the person who will accompany Suzumiya in the future is not himself.
15. There is no banquet in the world. The
story of the banquet has been told here, in fact, more than half of it has already been told. The content that Tanigawa-ryu envisioned when he first conceived of it has already been said. The only difference is the ending. The difference between A Xu and Suzumiya is just a confession; the difference between them and the aliens, future people, and superpowers is just a goodbye.
Of all the good stories, the nostalgic stories, the saddest thing is when they end.
Maybe Tanigawa-ryu also thought about it, so he postponed this last moment greatly, until it seemed that the world had forgotten about it. But people who look forward to this story will never forget it, but when the time to say goodbye will finally come in the future, people's moods will change.
The people who first started reading this story were probably just teenagers like flowers at that time. Like Suzumiya and the others in the story, they lived an uncertain life on the campus of high school, full of imagination and expectations for the future.
As time goes by, I'm sorry, the world we exist in has not been able to invent a time machine. Those teenagers will inevitably endure the purification of time, grow, and even begin to age. The face in the mirror no longer has tight skin, but is aging day by day. It must be maintained by various nutrient solutions to slow down the speed of water loss.
Most of the people are still living a life of mediocrity and lack of brilliance.
In the story, they, Suzumiya, A Xu, and those little friends, are still frolicking on the campus, still so young and so energetic.
Can not help but sigh?
Want to say goodbye, goodbye?
