On the opening and closing sequences of
"The Melancoly of Haruhi Suzimiya"
                                           <A HREF="LOLITA_MOE.html">LOLITA_MOE</A>
In the opening sequence, everyone
moves in character: The humor is
a humor of recognition.


            Haruhi stalks across the screen,
            with the camera zoomed in on her
            flouncing school uniform miniskirt.

            They cut to her doing a cheerleader
            act, determinedly bouncing her
            breasts at the camera, then they cut
            to Mikuru reluctantly doing the same
            act, bouncing her even larger
            breasts, with eyes squeezed shut in
            embarassment.


                                         
    In the closing sequence, all the characters join         
    together in a group synchronized dance, in which all     
    of them are moving out of character-- Mikuru doesn't     
    stumble; the male figures do camp/cute maneuvers         
    along with the girls--                                   
                                                             
        The humor is a matter of contrast:    
        the familiar figures behaving in a    
        strange way.
