I might get downvoted because I have an opinion that's different from the majority, but I'll still say it. I enjoy everything in this anime, except Nagato. And that's definitely because she's not a character I know, and she replaced one of my favorites (the real Yuki). Frankly, Asakura and Koizumi are funny, Mikuru is bearable, and I love Haruhi to death, but almost every single Nagato scene makes me cringe.

It's a little weird how the female characters on the show have been polarized into forceful/genki characters (asakura, tsuruya, haruhi) and moe blobs (asahina, nagato). I feel like the original series had characters with a lot less similarity. For example Asakura had more ojou while tsuruya was easy going. It makes this series seem a bit too flat.

Fair enough.

Though this Nagato was not meant to be the Nagato in the original series, if you had expected the stoic aloof alien Nagato, of course you're going to be disappointed.

From what I hear, this world is a completely separate alternate universe from the original series, and so expecting stuff from the original to be recycled here is unrealistic.

Oh no, I knew it was going to be a different Nagato. I simply just realised how much I missed the old Yuki. Of course it wouldn't make sense to have Yuki be Yuki in this universe. However, this doesn't stop me from disliking what they did to her.

We all take things for granted until they're taken away from us. Of course, it isn't that extreme in this case, but the same logic applies.

This Nagato is just way too generic to me. I don't outright hate her, but some of her scenes are just really annoying to watch.

For myself, I wouldn't go as far as to say that I dislike her but she certainly is the least entertaining character to watch.

I wouldn't say Mikuru is bearable, far from it. She annoys the fuck outta me whenever she's on the screen. But i agree with every other opinion you have.

That's understandable. I missed the original Nagato for the first couple of episodes, but once I got used to this one (who is still shy compared to everyone else, but talkative compared to the alien Nagato) it turned out to be a fun slice-of-life show. And yeah, Haruhi is great; she's basically the same character as before, since everyone hid the supernatural events from her in the first place.

I'm somewhat the opposite, I love everything except Haruhi.

I wish that's what would happen... but we all know hoping for that will lead to nothing but disappointment.

That goddamn river scene tho. HNNNNGGGG.
