>>33 how good it is is not really relevant to the discussion of how powerful it was. by today's standard it's not amazing, definitely good tho. without haruhi paving the way there would not be k-on, monogatari series, the light novel boom, etc. it was a phenomenon that took off like crazy thanks to the OP first and foremost. but episode 0 was also kinda mindblowing at the time, and the school faire/concert episode cemented it as a masterpiece of animation. thanks to 3d and digital processing effects these days of course watching episode 0 would be little more than a novelty, and there have been equally good concert scenes since them. But don't forget there are no other shows before or since that could have the balls to do what they did with endless 8 and still have a a great selling movie after.
