Then.. the show flips 180 degrees in the last couple episodes and turns into a dark and unforgiving horror show that, as I recall, ends with the main character's suicide.

This sounded pretty nuts so I went to go read a spoiler for the ending, and apparently they're actually all trapped in a one year long time loop that nobody remembers, and the anime ends with a 90 second rewind of the entire series followed by the opening scene of the first episode.

I feel like Kyon's "sarcastic internal monologue-ing viewpoint character" gimmick has been copied enough times by now that if you're coming to it after mostly watching more modern anime it probably feels pretty stale. Kind of a shame, because if I recall it was a pretty novel choice at the time.
