People watch anime for different reasons. Personally I watch anime to take a break from the rigours of school life and therefore would go for comedic and easy-to-digest animes such as Haruhi. But by no means are its issues brought across as less serious or less thought-provoking. Many comedians bring across serious issues through their comedic acts too. Just because the medium is hilarious, it doesn't mean the issues are the same, too.

This is exactly what Haruhi does
