Finally a Haruhi thread. Been waiting for a decent one for a while.
Going to try and revive some discussion here:

I came across an interesting topic a while back, one that I NEVER see discussed on /a/ threads about Haruhi, or even formal discussion about the series as a whole, and that the Haruhi series is actually a disaster trauma story. See, Tanigawa was a survivor of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake:

The depiction of closed space in Volume 1 matches the kind of emptiness you get when a city is cleared out for an incoming disaster. And the Shinjin/Celestials are likened to such disaters, how they destroy buildings. Likewise, the Disappearance arc ties to the real grief in seeing a different world, a world where a person, especially a friend, may no longer be around, and you have to cope with the possible new world you might have to live in.

That's good, so have I.
