So /c/ there's something that's been bothering me ever since I watched Haruhi years ago. I know /c/'s really not the board for long discussion, but asking this in /a/ would be a waste of time unless you're making yuru yuri or "naruto is a bad show" reposts. I can't get it out of my mind that she seems somewhat, fake? or unnatural or robotic. I don't know, it's hard to describe it. Something almost like Yuki is but rather than been completely emotionless, she can only display excitement and annoyance.
Throughout the whole series and disappearance, it seems as if she's just "there". She doesn't affect the story, have an opinion on things, become concerned/worried, etc. I feel that the other characters were quite well developed while she remained an air headed side character who the series is named after and who's only trait is she has poweres nobody knows about.
now keep in mind I've only watched the series, and not read the novels. But what I do know is in the last novel or two she loses her powers without ever knowing she has them. And that any romantic/platonic relationship between her and any other character is pretty much ignored.
Anyone else feel this? That the series was named after the character it seems to least develop/focus on?
