Kyon is a student who used to believe in Santa Claus, aliens, gods, demons, ESPers, and all the other good stuff under this sun. Unfortunately, graduating from middle school made him realize that none of these really exist. His world turned more mature, but it also turned rather gray and boring. Right now he is on his way to to class on his first day in highschool.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (HaruSuzu) starts out with the worst opening imaginable. It tries to be so bad it's good, and mostly succeeds. Turns out, this is not the opening to the series, but rather the soundtrack to an anime made by the main actors of HaruSuzu; the whole first episode of HaruSuzu is an anime within an anime. It also introduces several of the actors of the series who happen to be playing in this anime, with the sole exception of the series' namesake herself, Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi is the director and does not appear in her anime. I'm saying this upfront because I almost dismissed this series because of a wrong first impression.
