THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA IS A CRAZY SORT OF COMEDY-DRAMA ANIME WHICH GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

OUR TITULAR (LOL, TITS) HEROINE, HARUHI SUZUMIYA, IS MELANCHOLIC. BUT WHY? BECAUSE SHE IS BORED AND WISHES TO FIND SOMETHING GREATER OUT THERE. ALIENS, ESPERS, TIME TRAVELERS-WHERE ON EARTH ARE THEY, SHE WONDERS? SHE CROSSES PATHS WITH KYON, YOUR BASIC EVERYDUDE WHO IS PERFECTLY HAPPY BEING AN ORDINARY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, HARUHI CHOOSES HIM TO BE HIS PARTNER IN CRIME, AND HE CAN'T SAY NO.

SPOILER WARNING!!!!

KYON ACTUALLY NEVER HAD A CHOICE FROM THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE AS IT TURNS OUT, HARUHI SUZUMIYA IS GOD. NO, SERIOUSLY. SHE HAS LIMITED POWER TO CONTROL THE WORLD WITH HER WILL, THOUGH SHE IS UNAWARE OF THIS. AND SO ALIENS, TIME TRAVELERS, AND ESPERS EXIST BECAUSE SHE WISHED IT. SO WHAT DOES HARUHI DO?

SHE FORMS A CLUB-THE SOS BRIGADE, DEDICATED TO FINDING ALIENS, ESPERS, AND TIME TRAVELERS AND HANGING OUT WITH THEM. HARUHI AND KYON ARE SOON JOINED BY THREE OTHER MEMBERS: YUKI NAGATO, MIKURU ASAHINA, AND ITSUKI KOIZUMI. THEY ARE AN ALIEN, TIME TRAVELER, AND ESPER, RESPECTIVELY. EACH OF THEM TELLS KYON THAT THEY ARE WATCHING HARUHI FOR A SPECIFIC REASON, AND THAT SHE MUST NOT FIND OUT ABOUT HER POWERS. SO THEY (ESPECIALLY ITSUKI) INDULGE IN HER WHIMS TO KEEP HER FROM GETTING BORED BECAUSE SHE'LL UNCONSCIOUSLY SUMMON GIANT ROBOT BLOBS TO DESTROY THE UNIVERSE IF THEY DON'T. NO, REALLY.

END SPOILERS
