We'll let them take their children and see what they think." Disney cautiously used the '70s-style PG wording (which used "pre-teenagers" instead of "children"), and the film attracted very little, if any, controversy and would go on to come closest to knocking Titanic off the spot as highest grossing movie of all time (until Avatar successfully did so in 2010). At least this wasn't rated G, or we'd have moral guardians at our throats within seconds. Emma Watson even went on record as saying, "I can't believe the MPAA considered my sexual harassment of Mikuru as mere bullying. Everyone was surprised when the MPAA instead slapped the film with a PG rating for, among other things, "bullying" (examples of that include Haruhi forcing Kyon to join the SOS Brigade, Haruhi abusing Mikuru on several occasions, and Haruhi blackmailing the Computer Research Society into handing over a computer). The bleeped line in question is "Then I'll tell everyone at school that all you geeks ganged up on her and fucked her!" This was necessary because the studio was aiming for a PG-13 rating (and that F word was used in a sexual context, which normally all but guarantees an R rating).

One of few films to have a bleep censor added during post-production.DeSouza so much he stayed away from her at all times for the rest of the shoot, having her ghost-direct all her own scenes while he himself handled scenes Haruhi doesn't appear in. As time went on during production, Emma Watson delved so deep into the part of Haruhi Suzumiya, she eventually became Haruhi Suzumiya.

Each scene was shot in the order they would be presented in for the final cut.To prevent this, the members of Haruhi's club spend their time trying to keep their god-like leader entertained, hold her powers in check, and maintain the illusion of a normal life. Haruhi's unawareness of her powers means that she unconsciously creates a new universe-one more to her liking-and attempts to switch over whenever she becomes bored or otherwise dissatisfied with reality. As the story progresses, however, Kyon finds that each of these supposedly "helpless victims" are actually agents of fantastic organizations who have been sent to monitor Haruhi, who they explain as having superhuman abilities of manipulating the universe.

Haruhi quickly claims the Literature Club's room and its sole member, the silent bibliophile Yuki Nagato as property of the SOS Brigade and "voluntary arrests" the timid but cute Mikuru Asahina and the polite, smiling Itsuki Koizumi as the club's other two members. One day, after making a comment about Haruhi's displeasure with the available school clubs, he finds himself dragged into membership of the newly formed Save the World by Overloading it with Fun Haruhi Suzumiya (or SOS) Brigade. Interested, Kyon starts trying to make small talk with her before class, eventually leading to normal conversations with Haruhi. However, sitting behind him is the beautiful, intelligent, and eccentric girl Haruhi Suzumiya, who in her class introduction blatantly states her singular desire to meet aliens, time travelers, or espers. Kyon is an ordinary first-year high school student who, self-admittedly, has given up his fantasies of espers, time travelers, and aliens as he left middle school.
