Nagato alone was my reason to watch it as well, including the battle they have over the lan with the space game. We get a glimps of her enjoying herself.

Nagato is also adorable in my opinion, being the silent/cute type.

Haruhi, like Lucky Star, is an anime I’m not wholly convinced deserves such an overwhelming following, but who am I to argue with that level of popularity.

I’m not really sure where Tsuruya-san got her following from anyway… I assume that some kind of fang moe plays a big part.

Yes! I didn’t think there was anyone I disliked more than the haughty, self-centered, tsuntsun-from-hell Haruhi but a sniveling, quivering Mikuru got awfully close.

Labeling her as the minor-cosplay raep chara that she was is just so fitting.

On the other hand, Ryouko Asakura may have been a minor character but I wouldn’t call her useless. Ryouko’s fight with Nagato got to showcase what a bad-ass artificial humanoid interface Nagato really is.

Actually, the only episodes of tMoHS that were worth a damn were the ones with a strong Nagato presence.

The only useless (female) character in the Haruhi-verse would be Tsuruya. Her fandom is not unlike the ones for Transformers: “Never has so much been made about so little.”

Yeah, I know that there is a Tsuruya Gallery on this site too so I should watch what I write about this character. However, if I am to agree with this site about Mikuru then I am also going to voice my opinion about the other Haruhi-girls — good, bad or indifferent.
