Otaku Evolution Episode 42 – The Melancholy of… by ellbell01
Don’t panic! It’s a mostly harmless 42nd episode of Otaku Evolution, where I cover The Hitchhiker’s Guide to High School. I mean, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
So wait… is Haruhi Zaphod? Itsuki is Ford, Mikuru is Trillian, and Yuki is Marvin. Maybe I’m trying too hard to make this fit.

Episode 28, "The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya (Part 5)"
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Haruhi decides to use a cat behind Yuki’s apartment for the movie. After a day of shooting, Kyon and the others discover the cat can talk, but discourage it from doing so. Deciding that Haruhi’s imagination is running wild and causing reality to change, they decide it’s necessary to get Haruhi to admit the contents of the movie are fictional. The next day, Mikuru tells Kyon that her group’s interpretation of Haruhi is different from Itsuki’s group. Yuki tells Kyon that her own assertions would be impossible for him to confirm. As strange things continue to occur, Itsuki meets with Kyon to discuss the different views between the groups and asking for Kyon’s help to contain Haruhi’s power. Filming ends, and Haruhi and Kyon stay in the clubhouse over night to edit it together. They fall asleep and wake up the next morning, the movie mysteriously finished. In the end, it turns out that Kyon convinced Haruhi to do a disclaimer at the end of the movie that denounces the events as ficticious. Everything returns to normal.
