I don't think you have to like the character Haruhi Suzumiya, just perhaps get an understanding of why she acts the way she does, pretty much a fear of boredom. In ways, the force that is Haruhi is actually somewhat of a villain in the series. I have seen a particular video that talked about the big deal with the series is partially by what it meant at the time, like in comparison to the other shows and like, and what anime has does now might have lost some relevancy.

I liked the oddities of Gatchaman Crowds, and even forgave them for Episode 12, sort of. Gatchaman Crowds Insight blew me away completely. It twists reality in ways I found fascinating. I would have thought other people on the spectrum might relate to its comments about society, but I don't recall much discussion of it here.
Gatchaman Crowds was an interesting series in how I did not realise how good it was or how much I liked it until later. And that was with also seeing how good the second season was, in particular I think it pretty much twisted the message it did with the first series, to give some perspective that a balance is important and being even handed. Also, Hajime is an awesome hero in the best kind of way. She does not presume that something is bad even if everyone else is, and despite being so open to pretty much being a Cloudcuckoolander she is actually incredibly sharp, she is always listening to what other, and just as much as she is to find the good in something she also looks for how something could be a problem.
On other topics, this anime season has been ending, would be a bit much for me to give a quick update to what I have already finished. But there was some curiosity of anime that could be philosophical somewhat like NGE (which I have only watched the movies of and found the third movie really boring), I would throw in my already mention of the now finished Re:creators. It turned out really good, for a special accomplishment, it actually made a midseason recap episode actually amazing. A clash of various anime genre, with great characters, writing, and
music.
