[The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]
The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya
Summary
The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu ) is an anime about a girl called Haruhi Suzumiya who, unknown to her, has the power to change reality corresponding to her feelings. Although Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told through the point of view of Kyon, an ordinary High School freshman, and a classmate of Haruhi, who has just given up his 'childish' fantasies of aliens, time-travellers and espers. From the moment he speaks to Haruhi, he is pulled into a chain of events that, with each episode, is increasingly like his fantasies of inhuman and other-worldy creatures. Haruhi and Kyon (although relatively unwillingly on Kyon's side) start a club which searches for unexplainable mysteries. Haruhi, in her quest to get members for this club, willing or not, she finds a girl who is interested in nothing but books, practically kidnaps a 2nd-year girl who is overwhelmingly innocent and very cute, and a boy who seems to never oppose any of Haruhi's schemes for the club. Hilarity ensues. But these people are not ordinary humans, as they reveal to Kyon. The series goes in any way but chronological, leaving it up to Kyon to inform you where you are in the timeline, but he doesn't do a great job of it.
Author : Nagaru Tanigawa

As you can see, I wrote a lot for the summary, whilst revealing less of the plot that you would find on Wikipedia. And I wrote the summary from scratch. Took me about 20 minutes.
