Quick question regarding The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Postby jon_jinn » Tue Jan 02, 2007 6:27 pm

i was browsing through the anime reviews and i saw reviews for both the animes: Full Metal Panic! Second Raid and Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. then it dawned to me that in the anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, in the episode "Mysterique Sign", Koizumi (the psychic) uses two attacks on a giant cave cricket. They are: fumoffu and second raid. does this have anything to do with the two Full Metal Panic OVAs that i mentioned earlier?

It may have been a homage to Full Metal Panic OVA's. They did that alot in TMOHS.

Plus, Yasuhiro Takemoto was the director of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu and Full Metal Panic? Second Raid. He did the storyborard and was the episode director for episode 11 of THOHS.

On another note: Full Metal Panic? Second Raid, FMP: Fumoffu and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya were animated by Kyoto Animation.

As WingZero alluded to, TMHoS features a MYRIAD of allusions to other anime. Look at the manga that Haruhi references when she's explaining the set up for a mystery to occur. I wouldn't be a bit suprised if these were references to Second Raid, especially in light of its many connections to MHoS.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

could you explain how TMOHS relates to the anime titles you mentioned above? if it's too much work, you don't need to. but it would be greatly appreciated. :sweat:

I can't tell you for sure, because it's been a while since I've seen the series, but this is the connects as best as I can remember them:

Space Crusier Yamato-- The gaming episode in which the gang of the SOS Brigade become space ship flying heros would be my guys on where we get SCY references here.


Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni-- Since I've only seen two episodes, I can't say for sure, but the atmosphere of the show coupled with what little of it I've seen makes me say that the "Island Murder Mystery" episode is very likely the big homare to HnNKN.

Since I don't know much about the other series, I'll leave more educated members to make the connections on those. :P Great list, WingZero!

I went and double checked some of the references. I had to correct some and add some others:

Shuffle!-- the manga Haruhi flashes
Pheonix Wright--the way Haruhi pulls off her "I know who dunnit!" motion is a direct reference to the game.
Full Metal Panic--from what I understand, there's a character who shares Kyon love of ponytails in this anime.
Gundam-- Haruhi's crimson and gold commander's uniform in the gaming episode looks shockingly like Char Aznable costume in Gundam.

Okay, this is just off the top of my head on what I can remember.

In one ep, one character was reading 2001: A Space Odyssey

The quote "Glory to the Computer Club!" = "Glory to the Principality of Zeon!"

Another quote "I'm launching!" in TMOHS was also said by Amuro in Gundam.

A comment is made in one ep of TMOHS that was very close to the same comment that Sagara Sousuke said in FMP: Fumoffu.


In Escaflowne OP, Hitomi is looking up at a shooting star in the night sky and then there is a close up of her face. One of the character in the OP of TMOHS does the same thing.

That's correct. They were both animated by Kyoto Animation
