Look listen. Nagato was best girl in the Haruhi series. Would be nice to see more of her yes? Oh look An anime about Nagato. Well you might think so if you read the title but you are wrong very wrong. The voice actress is the same the character design is .. roughly the same? The artstyle is definitely different and I guess its a question of personal taste but Kyon looks almost nothing like himself. Nagatos personality is not the same. Its like they took everything that made her great and threw it right out the window. What youre left with is an incredibly boring sliceofnothing anime with characters that could be easily replaced with cardboard cutouts. Remember Koizumi? His one single role in this anime is to simp for Haruhi and simp he does. At the very least there is a little bit of fanservice mainly done by showing off Nagatos PSVita what a gem. The next section will contain spoilers but honestly just read it spare yourself from watching this: For some stupid reason both Nagato and Haruhi fall in love with Kyon after like one interaction with him. In Nagatos case he helped her get a library card in Haruhis case.. he said that maybe Aliens do exist or something. BAM love. You might think well maybe this rivalry will become a major plotpoint in the series? It doesnt. It goes nowhere just like the rest of the anime. The best part of the anime are 3 episodes in which Nagatos personality changes due to a traumatic car accident. She basically becomes Old Nagato but all too soon the tumor that is New Nagatos personality starts to spread. Of course this Nagato also falls in love with Kyon and she actually manages to confess her feelings before she dramatically disappears letting New Nagato take control once again. It only goes downhill from there. Kyon acts awkward around Nagato after her confession theres a whole lot of nothing + some nods and referenced to the Haruhi series you know an actually good anime? And dont get me started on the last episode. They go to a summer festival including a firework show. The PERFECT opportunity for Kyon to confess that he too has fallen in love with Nagato amirite? As the trope goes he tells her everything but oh snap Nagato couldnt hear a thing No kiss no clarification but for some reason Kyon feels like he accomplished what he had set out to do pats himself on the back and moves on. Its like nothing ever happened since Episode 1. Oh yeah and of course the end teases us with a reminder of the endless eight setting up for a timeloopscenario that will be covered in the OVA. Should you watch this anime? No. No dont. Even if you liked Nagato? Yeah run dont look back. Do not let your memory of Nagato be ruined by this generic tropeabusing boring piece of media.
