Kyon, your typical high school student, has long given up his belief in the supernatural. However, upon meeting Haruhi Suzumiya, he quickly finds out that it is the supernatural that she is interested in; aliens, time travelers and espers among other… things. When Haruhi laments about the lack of intriguing clubs around school, Kyon inspires Haruhi to form her own club. As a result, the SOS Brigade is formed, a club which specializes in all that is the supernatural. Much to his chagrin, Kyon, along with the silent bookworm, Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the perpetually smiling Itsuki Koizumi, are recruited as members.

I'd recommend it for its cast, its humor, and the chaos that Haruhi creates while Kyon tries to keep the universe running with sarcastic comments.
It's a good fit if you're looking for school comedy, science fiction and a narrative that plays with order and repetition.
What sets it apart from other supernatural series is that Haruhi can rewrite reality without knowing it; the beings she seeks so much are already at her side trying to keep her entertained.
