<p>It’s December 25th, and Christmas has finally come to Otaku Town – and with it, the final episode of Part 2 of our <em>Kyoto Vacation. </em>For today’s very special episode, we are finishing our journey through the world of <em>Haruhi Suzumiya </em>with the 2010 film <em>The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, </em>the nearly-three-hour climactic story in Kyoto Animation’s beloved adaptation of Nagaru Tanigawa’s light novels. It’s an absolute masterpiece of a film, telling its story of Kyon waking up in a world without the SOS Brigade patiently and tenderly, and building to a series of incredibly powerful emotional climaxes. It is also a truly beautiful Christmas movie in the vein of <em>A Christmas Carol </em>or <em>It’s a Wonderful Life, </em>and one of the very best of its kind, making it the perfect film to celebrate the holiday and ring out what has been a very big 2023 for <em>Japanimation Station</em>! </p> <p>Have a Happy New Year, and we will see all of you in 2024 for Part 3 of our <em>Kyoto Vacation, </em>“Moe Money, Moe Problems: After School Tea Time with the Girls of K-On!” <em> </em></p> <p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p> <p>Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:31</p> <p>Intro and History: 0:01:31 – 0:38:17</p> <p>Eyecatch Break: 0:38:17 – 0:38:54</p> <p>The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Review: 0:38:54 – 3:12:20</p> <p>End Theme: 3:12:20 – 3:13:22</p> <p>Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff">https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff</a></p> <p>Read the book <em>200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
