Okay, I think I used the word “Haruhi” enough in the title to get your attention.
This Spring Anime season has been pretty darn good. At the top of the heap (for me) are two anime starring girls named “Haruhi.” There’s The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Ouran Host Club.
The eternally raging debate in my mind at the moment: which Haruhi is the better of the two? Certainly they both have their good points. Let’s do some analysis, AoMM style:
Personality:
Suzumiya Haruhi is an archetype tsunderekko. Sure, she’s manipulative and bossy and when she gets bored the world ends, but that smile at the end of the day (almost) makes it worthwhile.
Fujioka Haruhi, on the other hand, is a nerd (+ points for me, I dunno about you). She’s pretty laid back considering he’s surrounded by hawt guys all the time. I’d label her as the kakkoii-type.
Edge: Fujioka
Hair:
Suzumiya Haruhi has countless hairstyles, and she changes it everyday. Or at least she used to. I’m partial to the buns; it’s too bad she doesn’t wear those anymore…
Fujioka Haruhi has two hairstyles: short and long. Short looks infinitely better, but still not as cute as Suzumiya.
Edge: Suzumiya
Chest:
Hmmm….
Edge: Suzumiya
Intangibles:
Suzumiya Haruhi: Hair flip, dancing.
Fujioka Haruhi: Poorness, ability to attract female race, instant coffee making skills, underdog.
Edge: Fujioka
Wow, it’s pretty much a tie (okay, so I tried skewing things to make for a better poll). Who do you think is the better Haruhi? Suzumiya or Fujioka? Vote, and be heard!
The fact that SuzuHaru is either a cruel cruel bitch or someone with absolutely no idea what they’re doing is a huge turn off. The things she does to Mikuru aren’t her being a sexy tsunderekko- those are the things a real molestor does. She just generally seems like a bad person, whereas FujiHaru is a really thoughtful one. Not to mention FujiHaru can be funny from time to time and SuzuHaru is never the one cracking jokes.
I vote for Haruhi! Fujioka Haruhi, that is. I don’t like Suzumiya at all, I prefer Yuki in that show anyway.
But F Haruhi’s coolness, sincerity, calmness, intellect, resistance to peer pressure etc makes her totally awesome. Episode 5 shows just how interesting and observant she is, compared to other girls (in that show of course). It helps that she’s the only non-fan girl in that show. And she’s cute when it comes to food.
Yeah, but only one of them is God.
Fujioka Haruhi all the way
God wins.
Suzumiya Haruhi by a thousand miles !!
I have read quite a few shoujo manga where the lead behave a lot like the other Haruhi… Pure cliché. Her blasé attitude bores me so I don’t find her really interesting.
On the other hand, Suziyuma is one of a kind !! Hell, she’s god !!!
Heh, interesting, based on your analysis, Haruhi Suzumiya wins in terms of looks, while Haruhi Fujioka wins in terms of character. ^_^;
Anyway, my vote goes to Haruhi Fujioka. At least she can think for herself. In any case, more than Suzumiya does. ^^;
I love both shows and both characters… but in terms of impact on my consciousness… Suzumiya no contest.
Like comparing the sheer awesomeness of Ouran to The Melancholy…, Haruhi Fujioka wins easily despite the strong competition. There’s just something so awfully cute and sweet about her eyes, among other things, that propels her beyond her namesake.
Haruhiism 4TW!!!
C’mon…. Suzumiya Haruhi has her own cult/religion… while the other Haruhi just merely has some bishounens on her side.
Cult/Religion >>> Host Club.
If it wasn’t for Fujioka, I would not be enjoying Ouran as much as I am. Hell, it would not be my #1 series of the season if not for Fujioka.
and apparently if Suzumiya is god…
Fujioka > god
Haruhi Fujioka is my prefered Haruhi. I’m one of the few anime fans out there that isn’t a member of the SOS-dan.
Wow, this race is a lot closer than I had anticipated.
Fujioka FTW!
First thoughs: What the hell did that fan-artist do to Suzumiya’s face?!
Second thoughts: Suzumiya Haruhi is made of win and gold.
Fujioka Haruhi.
suzumiya > stereotyp shoujo “girl”
Fujioka for me. I do like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya overall, but I enjoy Ouran more… and I like Yuki and Kyon more than Haruhi S.
Fujioka all the way. That girl is sharp. At the end of the day, Suzumiya’s head is simply full of hay.
I think the simplest method of determining the Haruhi-est Haruhi is to make them switch places and see who is most capable of doing the other’s job.
Fujioka, being an amiable sort, would probably get along nicely with Kyon et. al.; I have a feeling she’d even be able to lead them in a crazy dance number. But I don’t see her as having the creative vision to produce a cinematic masterpiece like The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina; and her laid-back, practical attitude combined with Kyon’s laid-back, practical attitude, Itsuki’s laid-back, mysterious attitude, Mikuru’s timidness and Yuki’s disaffectedness, will probably lead to SOS-dan being quickly disbanded for lack of driving energy.
For Suzumiya, remaining unaffected by and oblivious to the attentions of various hot bishounen would be second nature; after all, as far as she’s concerned, Earth men are no more worthy of attention than potatoes. And while she would not be able to pass herself off as a cute boy to attract female clients, the sheer terrifying force of her personality is enough that she could probably convince (bully, cajole, or blackmail) a thousand girls to designate her anyway.
FINAL VERDICT: Suzumiya seems to have the edge.
That having been said… the Haruhis should not be pitted against each other! They should become Best Friends Forever, like the two Nanas!!!
As far as I can tell Fujioka actually plays the more ‘Kyon’ role in Ouran. The SOS-dan would completely fall apart if you put the cynicism of both of them together… On the other hand putting Suzumiya together with Renge… *shivers* OMH(aruhi)
Fujioka Haruhi. Suzumiya is a child molester wannabe, like the members of her church. Ewww!
I like both. But, actually, I have other favourite characters in both shows. Kyon in Suzuharu and Tamaki in Ouran. No, I’m not gay.
Fujioka Haruhi. i love her more then a fat kid love cake!
HELP ME!
I want to vote for Fujioka Haruhi, but God commands me to vote for her >_
Fujioka Haruhi definitely wins.
Suzumiya comes out as an obnoxiously annoying character that i just can’t stand. Kyon’s cool though.
Let’s do the Seiyuu test.
Suzumiya - Aya Hirano. Not bad. Does Mamori from Eyeshield 21.
Fujioka - Maaya Sakamoto. Beneficiary of many Yoko Kanno songs. Hitomi in Escaflowne.
Aya’s pretty nice, but I’ve been a Maaya fanboy for 10 years. Fujioka wins!
FUJIOKA Haruhi!! She’s The BEST! ^0^
I Totally Adore Her and Worship Her! *0* *3* (And I’m a Women Too! see what she has done to me! xDD)
On the other hand I Kind of dislike Susumiya’s personality. ¬¬
Of course Fujioka Haruhi! She’s the best!
Suzumiya = INSTANT FAIL for moe tsunderekko archetype (present in every other shounen anime/h-game)
Fujioka = INSTANT WIN just for being in Ouran (which is, btw, a big fat bishounen archetype mockery)
Ah, Fujioka Haruhi and her laid-back ‘I’d snark, but it would go straight over their heads’ attitude.
Ah, the lone island of reason (and, uh, poverty) in the sea of insanity (and wealth).
Ah, the vain-rich-idiots’-bubble-bursting, immune to the assorted prettyboys’ advances, scared of nothing (besides thunder and stupidity) ‘commoner girl’.
She’s herself. Even when she crossdresses. And she crossdresses with wild success (wild success = having a horde of fangirls, whom she entertains for money)
F.Haruhi FTW!
Fujioka Haruhi all the way :]
Haruhi Fujioka Kawaii Neh~~~~~
I like them both. But yea, Ouran seems like the conventional anime, oh well i like my classics. Fujioka is adorable but Suzumiya is gorgeous. Suzumiya is funny cuz she is just so weird and Fujioka is so funny and she’s NOT as weird. I guess uh…fujioka. Her being dressed up in guy clothes and being stuck in a host club of hot men i cant say is normal, but other than that she’s a relatable and real character. and that i DEFINATELY am unable to lie about.
I’m different.. I love the strange people. I like it more when the unpredictable happens rather then the same rude remarks from Fujioka.
Suziyuma is indeed my favorite.
suzumiya hands down. Fujioka is indeed cliche.
Let me weigh a few things here.
Fujioka Haruhi - gets sucked into a club
Suzumiya Haruhi - creates a club
Fujioka - smart, cute
Suzumiya - smart, Hot, talented, athletic
Fujioka - easily persuaded by food
Suzumiya - only persuaded by Kyon
Fujioka - is forced into cosplaying
Suzumiya - forces other women into cosplaying
Fujioka - surrounded by bishonens
Suzumiya - surrounded by espers, time travelers, and aliens
Fujioka - As a man I would not want to be any member of her club
Suzumiya - I would love to be in Kyon shoes, cause me and him think to much alike
Suzumiya wins, but I give much respect to Fujioka
i totally vote for Fujioka Haruhi. She is way better.
She has cute boy friends.
She the best.
I love her!!!
Love Sabz
Wait, should there even be a contest between the two ? I’d rather have a comparison than a ‘competiton’…. I love them both. To say I like one more than the other would be a betrayal of just how great their personalities are.
~
Fujioka Haruhi….. I just started watching the series, but Fujioka-san is unique in every sense of the word. SHe’s an A-cup (yes, I know, the chest bit), but the fact that she can be incredibly attractive in ever sense of the word despite her androgynous features is amazing. No, what is more amazing is that she can retain her feminine features without becoming too androgynous. This is rare. Also, she is the Alpha Female… surrounded by a harem of guys. Being a stereotype is one, having a harem of stereotypes is another thing…. have two stereotypes that haven’t met before is unique.
In fact, my only problem with Fujioka is that she’s a *bit* to strong. I was hoping for something like a female version of Keitaro, which was how I initially pecieved her during the first episode, but, she developed some strength, and handles the boys well. WHile that’s good, I wish she had a more loserly feeling. But maybe that’s just me. ALso, the boy occasionally come on too strong. Then again…. Tamaki is the example of the tundere male. Perfect.
~
Haruhi Suzumiya…. let me put her this way.
Take NieA_7. Tjis was my fave. anime character at one time. Now, take Kaolla Su, and take Edward. All three of them had Size A chests, but were icnredibly eccentric, hyper and unique. Now, take Excel Excel and Azumanga Daioh’s Tomoe. Put were hyper and reasonably chested…. but were real idiots. Mix all 5, and you get Haruhi SUzumiya. Divided by two, without an addition of Azumanga Daioh’s Osaka. ANd maybe alittle bit of Hirano Aya.
Suzumiya-san is just out of this world. Sure, she’s a little bit mean towards Mikuru-chan, but that’s one out of a number of flaws. Sure, she’s incredibly selfish, but not in the bitchy or annoying sort of way. Haruhi is unique in a really special way, and that is a rarity.
Not to mention that Kyon’s sarcasm reminds me a lot of Edmund BlackAdder-san. Fujioka Haruhi has that sarcasm, but it’s more relevant to Ouran which is literally meant to be a joke. Kyon’s sarcasm, however, puts things into perspective, and gives the ordinary viewer something to understand.
~
In the end, it boils down to the anime series:
Ouran High School Host Club is a plain old comedy, and a reverse harem parody. While I didn’t like the huge extravagance of Ouran High (I disdain th extravagantly rich), it was done in parody format, so it made me happy.
But, I still prefer Haruhi Suzummiya due to its exploration inrelatively big scientific and philosophical cocnepts. iT’s short 13 episodes could have been lengthened, if it wast for the fact that the manga is incomplete, so they could only do 13 episodes.
~
Now… if the places were swapped…..:
Haruhi Suzumiya is all the reason why the SOS-Dan existed. In fact, it was what made the SOS-dan the SOS-dan. Fujioka-san is a bit too serious, and I doubt she’d be interested in all that. For her to be God, the series would have to change. Take Fujioka Haruhi as God, and you’d basically have an androgynous version of Serial Expeirments Lain, as Fujioka-san would have tor eally act up and get all emotional and angsty. On top of that, Kyon would have to be somehting of a long lost childhood friend of FUjioka that develops the hots for Mikuru, but runs back to Fujioka-san at the last moment,. Or somethign like that.
As for Ouran…. Haruhi Suzumiya in the girls uniform would be a hoot. However, both she and Renge will turn Ouran High School into their doman, with a proud statue of the yuri couple on the front lawn, and with more than a thousand girls at their feet. The Host club will have to be closed and renamed the “Haruhi-Renge” club, with all 5 male memebrs as their enslaved manservants. Then again…. Kyouya is about as crafty as Itsuki… so they really do work out things well.
~
I tell you what… why not combine the two together ?
Ah heck, Ive had enough.
~
2006 has been the yera of comedy anime, having seen comedies I’ve never seen before,a nds een new ones that keep me laughing. Ouran pulls pranks that only Excel Saga can pull off, and that’s why it’s so funny, while Haruhi is an existentialist exploration as well as a sarcasm play. ALl good fun for 2006.
~
SO, my final verdict ?
TIE !
~
LONG LIVE THE HARUHIS, FUJIOKA AND SUZUMIYA, FOREVER !!
Fujioka all the way! I defy gods ^_~
Fujioka, hands down.
IMO, she isn’t the typical shoujo heroine at all. In most anime with female protagonists, they always have the main female as the ball of insight/sunshine/happiness ((Esca’s Hitomi, Furuba’s Tohru, etc.)), but Fujioka is DIFFERENT. While insightful, she is completely reasonable; she snarks with her face; she is the only serious main character ((aside from Mori-senpai)); she is a frank, nerdy WET BLANKET, but she still manages to make a difference. ((In Ouran, the obligatory ball of sunshine would be Tamaki.))
So I don’t quite understand how she’s a cliched character ((she is the ONLY female wet blanket I’ve ever seen in anime)), and I admire her; she is wholly independent, down to a fault. ((In a sense, it is a character flaw. People don’t become a major priority of hers until the very end.))
So…
Fujioka.
Fujioka.
Ooooooh, Fujioka!
I am a loyal OHSHC fan. And frankly, I think Haruhi S sucks >>>>>>>>>>>>>Haruhi S!!!!!
Haruhi F>>>>Haruhi S
Haruhi F wins!!!!!!
Like hell FUJIOKA-SAN WINS HANDS DOWN!
Suzu-san’s attitude really pisses me off and makes me want to punch her right in the face…XP Sick…
Also, she’s such a child-molesting wannabe feeling like an ‘H-game character’ kind of person. Eww.
Besides, once you watch ouran, and see Fujioka’s personality, you’ll probably like her more.
If you are looking for a sensible character, Fujioka would fit that category. If you are looking for someone over-the-top, Suzumiya would fit the category.
Since I look for sensible types more often, I would go for Fujioka. A cross-dressing girl is an uncommon sight for me in anime, especially one who is oblivious to gender roles. These character perks make me more interested in Haruhi Fujioka.
fujioka is a very cute and smart girl, at least she has personality. and she’s funny too!
suzumiya is one of the dead end whore,,,
I think Haruhi Fujioka would have to win. Despite that Suzumiya is a “sexy” type person, loud, and very pushy, things that appeal to a lot of girls, Fujioka has something called “Common” sense. Plus Fujioka isn’t about to destroy her own world with depression. Sooo
Win = Fujioka.
fujioka haruhi ftw!~
I think that Fujioka Haruhi is way funnier the Haruhi s because all Huruhi s does is make people molest Asasina and also Haruhi F is so funny the way she rejects Tamaki
HARUHI F WINS!!!!!!!!
So close, but I have to go for Haruhi S since her personality is more original (Haruhi F. reminds me of Tohru from Fububa aka Fruits Basket)and she reminds me of one of my best friends, only she isn’t as violent to my Mikuru-like friend. Well,at least she’s never stripped her down and literally forced her into a bunny suit.
It’s kind of interesting to see everyone’s thoughts on these two. Most people dont like Haruhi S. though, it sadly seems.
I like both Haruhi’s!! BUt i must admit, I look forward to all the screen time of Suzumiya more because she never fails to make anything more exciting, whereas Fujioka is a bit on the boring side. I mean, she’s so sensible and unspontaneous that if you take away the members of the host club, you get a big snore. Take away the other members of the SOS club and I’m sure Suzumiya will still have some way of making things more interesting.
So for me, Suzumiya wins! Yatta!
Haruhi Fujioka!!!!she’s smarter!!and more kawaii!!!!!
HARUHI FUJIOKA KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´M IN LOVE WIT HER (AND I´M A GIRL! XD) SHE IS MORE CUTE AND SMART AND FUNNIER AND CHARMING! I LOVE YOU HARUHI FUJIOKAAAAA!!!!!! HIOOOO!!!!!!!
WIN= HARUHI FUJIOKAAAAA!!!!!!!
I say suzumiya~ more out going personality and funny + cute :3
Yay!Haruhi Fujioka is the best!!!!Not like the other one >_
is it just me or that there’s a tendency here that females like Haruhi.F more, while the males prefer Haruhi.S
It all depends on the original point of your selection.
If you want to have a sensible friends who can acts as a buffer, then Haruhi.F is the choice.
However, Suzumiya is the perfect choice if you don’t want to be bored. She is so unexpected and her actions can be both nuisance and joy at the same time.
Accidentally the only negative points that anti-suzumiya gang have got is that Suzumiya “molests” Mikuru. Those seems to fail to recognise the suzumiya presented on the episodes on the Island and in the last 2 episodes where she shows her more mature and sensitive side.
In other words…
Suzumiya all the way!!!!!!
Ozaka > Haruhi F. > Haruhi S.
I like the way suzumiya looks for aliens and stuff but the way fujioka acts is funnier, like kyon, they make the anime funny with their thinking and talking.
i would like to vote for both
even if u ask me: “who would u pick as ur wife?”
I liked both of them so much and I think they’re both too cute!
But i’d prefer suzumiya cause I never liked the short hair thing…
if i were to choose which one of them to be my best friend, i would choose Fujioka.
i really annoyed with the character of Suzumiya which ignores everybody around her at all, except to some extend.. Kyon. She’s really bossy and loud, i would not like to be with this kind of people.
on other side, yes, Fujioka seems to be the boring-kind of people. but her sensibility and sarcasm suites me well
Her character reminds me of San Chai in Meteor Garden and Tsukushi in Hana Yori Dango
so i vote for Fujioka
Okay, Haruhi Suzumiya is way better. Fujioka Haruhi is well….boring plus she’s way better looking and she’s funnier and I could go on for hours of her awesomeness!! So Haruhi’s the bestest!!
FUJIOKA FOREVER!
Ouran is better!
Ouran has cool hot boys!
Ouran is way funnier! and everyone here mostly votes for her too!
LOVE OURAN EVERYONE!
theres no contest at all in my view
Suzumiya takes it all.
she’s much cuter and good looking.
she puts her friend (and ocasionally herself) into some very nice costumes which are verry pleasing to the eye
she seems to have a very bright and happy personality, and for once is not the normal “ordinairy shy girl” which seems to dominate many animes
You haters that simply attack Haruhi S with half thought out thoughts and reasons while letting your emotions cloud your feelings just goes to show how stupid and lack of thought you gave to any of this.
Ouran is simply a parody reverse harem show with ALL the standard stereotypes, including Haruhi F, that has been done thousands of times before in anime, manga, video games, etc.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a well thought out genre and stereotype breaking ride through story telling, fandoms, psychology, art, etc with equally genre and stereotype breaking characters.
It doesn’t mean that it isn’t good. but the lack of creativity hurts it when comparing it to the stereotype breaking called The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Haruhi F is also a simple character with simple depth while Haruhi S is a paradox stuck in a puzzle falling in a warp.
By any story telling perspective, Haruhi S is far better.
If u realised simple minded people watch anime more than deep headed people (i’m opne of those deep headed) usually people would judge characteristics or look which we did or simply the plot/storyline.
The Melachony of Suzumiya Haruhi is deep and twisted filled with many complicating but yet a tempting storyline, while Ouran kept it simple amazingly with one of a kind comedy strcutre to it which The Melachony of Suzumiya Haruhi didn’t have, and also Ouran had a deeper meaning to the story while The Melachony of Suzumiya Haruhi had nothing to it really but psychology and supernatural matter to it which didn’t really appeal much to the heart not even close to what Ouran High gave.
Seriously which would you choose to be beside you in real life, a bossy twisted bored girl > Haruhi.S or
a cute and down to earth normal girl > Haruhi.F
i would choose Haruhi.F! wacthing Haruhi.S bored the hell out of me so i just focused on the storyline of The Melachony of Suzumiya Haruhi, but Haruhi.F attracted me so i focused both on her and the storyline of Ouran.
FUJIOKA HARUHI FTW!
HARUHI F! FOR SURE!
out of all the manga i’ve read and anime i’ve watched, Haruhi.F has one of a kind personality which i have never seen out of a girl in any anime/manga, while Haruhi.S had an average personality that i have seen many times in anime and manga. so yea Haruhi F wins in my opinion.
o yeah! 62% for Fujioka Haruhi. totally better then . . . the other one. Totally a OHSHC fan. And btw, Haruhi is good when being “just the good girl”. And plus, smarts is really what counts!
my brigade leader says that Haruhi S. is the best! I must confess, S.o.S in the West….Coast!
Fujioka Haruhi bar none! The most original female anime lead. If you say no tnen you’ve not seen OHSHC entirely. There’s no other herione like her. On the other hand there’s
Suzumiya-she’s the Hot, mean, smart girl that plays 2nd or 3rd lead in other animes only this time she’s the lead.
Surrounded by not normal HS students but by selected people because she’s god, and Kyon the masochist :] Noone volunteerly hangs around these type girls unless they hormonally-raging boys. Think about it everyone is on a mission, but Kyon.
With that said I really enjoyed the show, for the concept of a different type of ‘god’ than the usual ‘goddess’ of love and sunshine. Remember if you ever have to choose your ‘god’ never vote for a sixteen-year-old female. She’ll wipe us all out existence as soon as she’s bored/depresses, lol.
Fujioka Haruhi, in my opinion, is better. I agree with aukele, that there is no other anime female lead character with the same personality as fujioka haruhi, which, i might have to admit is pretty dull. Regardless, I love the fact about Haruhi that she’s like not afraid of anything (besides thunder of course), and that she managed to get into a private school as a guy! woohoo! unintentionally at that!
The Debate Lives On!
Fujioka Haruhi-Cute and smart she lives in vain of the Host club,until she figures out without them she wouldn’t have any friends or someone to trust(not to mention reject) all the time.She has the cutest eyes that make her look really good in everything she is forced to wear,and in the case of Tamaki, instantly love her (and by insantly, I mean so fast you don’t realise until later.)With her “Damn Rich Bastards” phrase and love of ootoro, she is super cute in every way.No wonder why the guys all adore her…!
Suzumiya Haruhi-Considered pushy,bitchy and selfish.I thinks thats wrong.Everyone assumes what was on the outside layer of her feelings.Throughout the anime you can see little bits of care in her eyes everytime she is posed a question from Kyon that really gets to her,or when she fell down the cliff and landed on Kyon,I instantly saw her eyes full of worry.She is a ‘natural beauty’ and a crazy fun and wierd person,but she only acts that way because she doesn’t want to be bored.Overall,I can see what Kyon admires in her and I sympathize with Kyon.How she figured out she was just one small person in a whole world of people,how she wanted an exciting life, It made me realize I thought the same way too O_o. Even though she may seem like a hentai,she is just begging to be hugged.
My Opinion:Tie.Definatly a tie.
Obviously Fujioka Haruhi, she’s soo cute, blunt in a funny way, and really sharp. She detects the slightest clues that the host club friends of her give.
Suzumiya Haruhi is alright, but a lil too bossy and mean for me. I’ve seen some episodes from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It was a lil boring, and I loved Ouran High School Host Club way better.
So, Fujioka Haruhi wins. =)
The portrait of god as a young girl was more interesting to me. Ironically, even though they were Espers, Aliens, Time Travelers and God, I found The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’s characters to be more realistic.
fujioka wins!
Honestly, they’re much too different to compare. Different genre anime, omega different supporting cast (Homo side characters[Ouran], Kyon& a bunch of weirdos[Suzumiya], Creation theme[lol, r u srs?] as opposed Ouran which is a pure comedy. Ouran actually makes you laugh whereas Suzumiya makes you go moe over Yuki.
Fujioka o3o Do i need a reason?
Most girls like Fujioka more than Suzumiya because they can relate to her more and she’s more down to earth.
Most guys like Suzumiya because they like girls with big tits in bunny girl outfits.
>>ChocoBits Daioh
This guys speaks the truth! I don’t know Fujioka, so I’ll go for Suzumiya, she’s really an incredible character that I can totally relate with.
Everyone just jugdes them by what they see at first glance, but you should take some time to watch and analize Suzumiya’s character. She’s not just “Oh, I’m bored, I’ll go and destroy the Earth” as you say.
I think that Fujioka Haruhi is more prettier than the other one (that i had never see before…) .
~ FUJIOKA HARUHI ROX ~
I watched Ouran last year and I am down-right in love with it, I would pick Haruhi F. right away, but then again, that would be if I hadn’t watched Suzumiya Haruhi a little while ago~
I watched it and as a Yuri fan I wouldn’t say Haru’s ‘torture’ for Mikuru would be anything bad, I laughed at those parts. But then I also laughed at how Fujioka would verbally abuse Tamaki sending him into his reject corner.
But In characters wise, Fuijioka is boring, dead-pan, although there are sometimes shes not, its the majority of the series she is.
Suzumiya~ Now she’s just a character who keeps going and going and going, from random Alien hunting downtown to substituting a singer for a school band. She’s a lot more spunkier and fun the Fujioka, so I have to say my vote goes to Suzumiya~ FTW~!
Definitely Haruhi Suzumiya… she’s the more interesting character, and I think she’s much cuter.
The other Haruhi can be a bit boring.
i lke fujioka haruhi better..
Haruhi Suzumiya!
I love her bubbly personality, and I just find the storyline of the show she is in much better anyway. Although i do like both, i found it very easy to pick which haruhi i prefer.I think another thing is I like the style Haruhi Suzumiya is drawn in better and the show seems better animated. But this is just my opinion
man so many votes, i tried counting but got sick of it T-T its fairly close though (for what i counted)
Haruhi Suzumiya.
Even after watching OHSHC, I liked The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya better. Aaaand even if Suzumiya appeared to be a selfish, insensitive person(I cannot call my God a female dog.) in the beginning, she did eventually mature towards the end of the series. Though both Haruhis shouldn’t be compared against each other, they’re both cool in their own unique ways. Although Realisticly F. Haruhi would be a better person to be around with, buuuut this is a poll and I liked Haruhi Suzumiya better… XD sides, everyone is tittled to their own opinion, like, I can’t wait for Haruhi S. 2nd Season
Looks like alot of people are basing this off looks……sad.
Seinen vs. Shoujo artwork. It almost always causes guys to choose Seinen and girls to choose Shoujo…….
There should be no contest characterwise. Haruhi S wins out overall.
Haruhi S is nearly totally independent (”nearly” is because Kyon can change her actions). She has the willpower to ignore everything in her way to achieve her goal (except on rare occasions Kyon). She’ll ignore rules, laws, morals, and everything society places on itself just so that she can be entertained. She won’t respect the opinions of others and will cross the “you have freedom but only up to the front of my nose” line without hesitation; how much more independent can you get?
Haruhi F has a sort of independence too, but she is bound to the Host Club. Being lured by food doesn’t help her case either…..
Both are utterly ignorant when it comes to sex appeal. Haruhi doesn’t dress up or force Mikuru to dress up because she wants people to look at her; she wants to dress up to attract attention for her club or whatever she has planned (Computers…..>_>). Dressing up Mikuru as the maid in the clubroom probably isn’t for sex appeal either. The events of Episode 14 happens partly because Haruhi S was jealous of Kyon’s apparent relationship with Mikuru. Haruhi S isn’t perverted or a molester, she just doesn’t understand (or at least misinterprets it) sex appeal.
Haruhi F is the same. She admits it within the first volume (manga), where she explains why she wears such ambigious clothing. She’s totally indifferent to gender rules. With a cross-dressing dad and his similiar country inn owner buddy, I don’ t blame her…..
The trump card lies in the character development. Even out of an anime based on only the first volume in the series (out of nine or ten), Haruhi S has substantial character development. She starts off as a queer outsider, and then we find out she’s actually quite talkative to those she opens up to (atm it’s ONLY Kyon). She matures from a rash and reckless person (forming the club), to someone willing to tie themselves down to the boring life of a day to day club. Her jealousy of Kyon’s interactions with Mikuru and Yuki is shown and ultimately becomes a factor in Episode 14’s finale.
Haruhi F on the other hand has almost no character development. The ones that develop are the boys around her. She learns bits about them every time, but it doesn’t change who she is……ever. The boys are the ones that start liking her and changing their personalities, but she herself does not.
Anyhow, who can really argue that Suzumiya isn’t unique? What kind of anime or manga would ever have a main character who would normally be placed as comidy relief? Seriously, any character like Suzumiya would normally be placed as a side character that bumbles around in their schemes (like getting rich or something). Or, if the comidy relief was actually the main character, it would normally be a guy (like Kankichi Ryotsu).
Fujioka!!!
Haruhi Fujioka.
Suzumiya, is… a kid, srsly, that show, is not win.
Ouran is, total massacre Win the whole Game.
GG no re.
tis tricky, i like both animes motto motto much, but haruhi f’s character was overshadowed by all the other charaters in ouran (that are so much more lovable) so i didnt really think that she was anythinbg special..just another ‘i’m diff from girls’ sort. whereas haruhi s is a character i never would have imagined. the fact that she gets bored so easily annoys me a bit but i get more annoyed by the fact that all the guys in the host club like haruhi f…dunno why and its not jealousy its just i dont see wat they like so much. so HARUHI S!!!
as main characters haruhi s cos shes special..even though not my fave in the anime. haruhi f does not carry tghe aspects of a good main character. its like watching a film where the main actor cant act and is outshined by his/her supporting cast
Both Haruhi’s have one distinct similarity. Their characteristics are way beyond different from other animes. Each series are short and addictive. But it all depends on the person. fujioka is cute and appealing. Suzumiya is hot and weird. I like Fujioka better, but after seeing everybody’s comments. Overall, it is a tie.
SuzuHaru is annoying, FujiHaru is amazing. FujiHaru isn’t the typical Shoujo manga lead. She is not too cheesy or aggressive, she’s laidback, sensitive and waaaaay prettier even with short hair. SuzuHaru is blah. She’s too aggressive, bossy and too Shoujo manga stereotype. She is in brutal words, a b*tch.
Suzumiya-san all the way
Suzumiya is voiced by Aya Hirano who, as haruhi is the first seiyu who does a better job singing in the show itself to surpass Priss
But setting aside the V.O. (which i did while reading the first 8 books), Haruhi Suzumiya is probably the most original character *ever*. Many of her quirks are common enough, but she is the character ever to be god and not know it (unless Kyon is actually god).
The reason I liked Ouran so much was because of the portrayal of the rich. As I attend the best non-boarding high school in the US I have a different perspective then most, and find what others very humorous. (of course there is a large difference between high schools in tokyo and chicago in general)
Like Haruhi, Haruhi also has little concern of sexuality as was stated when she said it doesn’t matter if others are male or female.
Both of them take advantage of their looks (although kami-sama is the only one who does it out their own desires)
Haruhi Fujioka
As much as I admit her character is a bit cliche and that the host club kind of revolves around her and she’s like… perfect in every way and flawless. I still love her ^^
Haruhi Fujioka!!!!!!!!!!…. owns u all… .__.
HARUHI FUJIOKA DEFINITELY!!!
HARUHI IS DEFINITELY BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE AND INSIDE
try chopping off Haruhi S. ‘ hair… she’s not a pretty lil thing anymore
haruhi F is definitely the girl who goes with the flow.. independent, smart, witty, courageous, beautiful….. hahaha i can go on a list of forever!!!
hahahaha…
nd for that jealous girl….haruhi has everything (except money) and i dun think it impossible for all host club members to just love her
omg haruhi is just so cute!!!!
contrary to what others say about her character being cliche… i beg to differ
ugh!
i’m sick of the typical heroines that are :
weak
dumb
bossy
busty
stupid
sunshine
optimistic
weird
insane
depressed damsel
ahh… and the otherzz……
waghhh…
she’s the most original anime character i have come upon
she’s just great
not the typical girl girl attitude
she’s a package
and if it happened that i’m a man… i would definitely marry her
independent
hardworking
sharp-tongued
beautiful
wahh…… u can’t get bored of her
she’s very endearing
and her obliviousness to the other member’s feelings is just adorable!!!!
i’m practically worshipping her!!!!!!
i’ve watched Haruhi S. and i’m disgusted with her… period
i wouldn’t mind if Yuki is the main character though.. but oh well.. its just wistful thinking…
Haruhi Fujioka
Looks: 1000/10
Attitude: 1000/10
Character: 1000/10
X- Factor: 1000/10
Intelligence: 1000/10
COmmon Sense: 1000/10

and as far as i see in this poll… it’s obvious that HARUHI FUJIOKA IS WINNING!!!!!
GO OURAN!!
GO HOST CLUB!!
GO HARUHI FUJIOKA!!!
HUGS AND KISSES!!!
I hate both, actually. In fact, both ARE stereotypes. Fujioka is the typical “poor person in a rich place with a hefty debt to settle”, while Suzumiya is nothing more than a loon who wants a world which revolves around her, and only her.
But if I were to choose between the two, I’d choose the Haruhi who is more HUMAN than GOD. I’d choose the Haruhi who still somehow cares about the people surrounding her, rather than look for some supernatural beings or whatever. I’d choose the Haruhi who doesn’t flaunt her assets, albeit unwillingly. I’d choose the Haruhi who chooses to be simple rather than be way too vulgar.
I’d choose HARUHI FUJIOKA.
Suzumiya is a BLAST! It’s hard to be Suzumiya, not to mention she’s perfect in everything she does. And she IS a GOD.
OURAN - something stupid and sensless filled with flat-chest-jokes and simple nonsence. I couldn’t even watch it. Most jokes are lame, storyline is flat and cliche, etc… Plus - heroes of OHSHC do not look alive.
Suzumiya does.
Suzumiya wins!
I really admire Suzumiya! She’s definitely the coolest of the two of them. She’s always doing whatever she wants to do, without caring about what others might think of her. (Although I’m pretty sure I would have hated her if she went to my school.) BUT…
I’m still voting for Fujioka. Not that she’s my fav character in Ouran - I think all the guys in the Host Club comes before her. But I like the show much better, and her laid-back and simple personality is kind of cute!
I read through aaaall the comments and it is obvious that Haruhi Fujioka wins BIG time. She got more than half of the votes!!! - 61 while Suzumiya only got 27 XDD
FUJIOKA FTW!!!
Haruhi Fujioka is my only goddess. Okay, the other one has boobs but that’s what porn is for.
Suzumiya. ‘Nuff Said
i personally say fujioka because i prefer ouran and i only watched melancholy of haruhi suzumiya halfway. i do agree that suzuharu is prettier though, but i really like haruhi fujioka! so the vote goes to …. FUJIOKA!
Haruhi Fujioka wins by miles.
My vote goes to Fujioka, but not because I dislike Suzumiya; I just go for personality, and Fujioka-kun has it all. And she does look cute with both long and short hair.
SuzuHaru: Her major folly is that she is quite self-centered which spawns all her personality flaws (Molesting Mikuru for instance).
ON THE FLIP SIDE:
FujiHaru: She is so completely dense and is unable to see things that are beyond the direct meaning (When Kaoru said “you could sleep in our bed” she didn’t see the really deep significance, only the literal meaning).
BOTH: Cute, funny, strange, off-the-beaten-path and completely entertaining!
Haruhi Fujioka! She is cool and Funny! Plus, she is so pretty!^_^
Fujioka all the way. She’s doesnt need big boobs and a big ass to make herself attractive while most of the anime girls are just wh*res.
While I may like Ouran better than Melancholy, in terms of Haruhis, I’d have to pick Suzumiya. Fujioka just doesn’t interest me. The anime’s glory and humor really comes from the other characters.
But Suzumiya is the one who makes the show!
i vote Haruhi Suzumiya she has the looks and the mind besides shes like a god too ^_^
Fujioka Haruhi totaly! x3 yays!
That other girl Suzumiya, wtf. She kinda rocks, but it goes and brings in the hard-headed peckers, actually. So no… o.O
Haruhi Fujioka is the amiable thinker;
and there are all the eccentric rich young men cheering at her yay yay yay! Because she’s the cute, smart one who’s not wanting to be mislead.
And breakfast even for her isn’t too exciting too miss…
Yup, Fujioka’s the cooliest. ^.^
yeah, go, some random person!
Haruhi Fujioka is the best!!
