This week, Tobias, Austin, and Ryan got stuck in a time loop where they were forced to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 15,527 times until they finally did their homework.

Haruhi is now a 12 year old anime series! Time really flies when you’re having fun, I guess. Join us as we take a look back at one of the most influential and infamous anime series’ of the 00s.
