| OMG! Yay they kissed =D i love how she came 2 class in a ponytail the next day X3 |
 |
| lol, we're talking about two seperate episodes due to the different orders. How funny. |
 |
| Lol, hilarious episode, Fumoffu and Second Raid was just out of the blue :D |
| Nope. |
| One way to describe this hilarious episode: |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Yup, this series definetely got better since the first 2 awful episodes, and it's likely to get a 6, if it keep up the pace. |
| omg i want haruhi and kyon to end up together!!!! :'D |
| i like haruhi with a ponytail the best, too, i think. that whole dream/new world thing was just awesome. i love the existential theories |
| What can I say... Merely before the episode started, I got the feeling that the island mystery episode isn't gonna get followed up by it's part 2. Yeah, that frustrated me a lot. But you know, this episode wasn't so bad, so I guess I'll be able to wait for... the next episode, I hope =\ Anyway, Koizumi's attack names sounded epic, so did they look :D But seriously, I hope there is some point behind the order of these episodes... |
  |
| LOL omg I laughed so hard at Kyon's magical pitches due to Yuki's incantations!!! Hilarious! The other team was just like, wtf is going on!?! Especially that one pitch that was too far left and then suddenly went to Yuki. I find it a little weird that they weren't trying hard enough (or didn't start rigging the game earlier on) until they realized how foul of a mood Haruhi was in because they were losing. They know that Haruhi can't be too bored or angry or whatever, so I don't understand how they didn't do much to try to win. That was the only slight problem I had with this baseball episode. At least I had a good laugh :) |
Moonfrost said: In this episode. They're playing baseball. Wat am I watching? The Chronological order or the Out of order one? You're watching the chronological order, the correct one! Remember the pony-tail thing from the last episode. it appeared again this episode, and the "method" used by Kyon to make Suzumiya happy last episode was mentioned in this episode as well. From now on, they should avoid making her bored, or it will be the "end of the world". |
| Hahaha baseball episode was pure win...it made me laugh my butt off. |
| i have to say when she was going to put Miss Asahina's hair in a ponytail... then looked at Kyon.. and then scowled... i had to smile. after all, even if she thinks it was a dream... he does find ponytails hot ;) baseball's never been so much fun |
| "This is the time the teachers mark my exam answers wrong." I can totally understand Kyon. And Kyon learned to knock (and Koizumi, too) and gets scolded (Koizumi does not..Haruhi really likes to pick on Kyon..). Let's see if he keeps up the knocking for Mikuru's sake..or drops it for his own sake. |
2009 broadcast order (chronological for both seasons) ~ Episode: The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya I really enjoyed this episode as well. :) Haruhi is so entertaining. That match xD HHAHA.. Wonder if Haruhi will ever notice those magical things going on around her all the time... Or she did already..? I don't know. I will probably end up watching this whole show once again in the release order... Or I should've already done that in the first place?... Love it, though. ^____^ |
 |
| so freakin' hilariuos ! omg ! dat nagato ...poor mikuru :3 |
| @_______@ This episode wasn't meant to make much sense to anybody watching the series in the broadcast order, right? Everything got so... weird. I thought the last episode was odd for an anime of this type, but this is downright quacky. Camel cricket... smh |

| -Broadcast Order: Mistérique Sign- Boooring. I usually love mindfucking stories, but this seems completely random. Actually a lot of Webster terms to say one simple concept, I guess, remembering Melancholy 3, but I have not the energy to dig 15 minutes of terms just to get the same concept all over. They're doing all that stuff just to avoid making Haruhi to get bored, but they're forgetting me. Never touched the bottom like this, I was staring to the subs with a blank face, looking at those words that appeared so empty. Kill me. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| that soundtrack when giant attack is really beautiful and lol what with the kiss power |
 |
| I love playing with chronology, but I think I'm seriously starting to get a little car sick. |
| [Watching in broadcast order] Love how Haruhi wanted to break in at first, then proceeds to ring :D Gotta love Yuki's spells, the extreme speed of her casting it. Kyon has some interesting thoughts at the end. |
 |
| I dont know the rules of base ball so I was like "What?". Itsuki counted the ball 1000 times was great XD 3.7/5 |

Murasakebara said: Did anyone else LOL at Koizumi's referencing to Full Metal Panic Fumoffu and Full Metal Panic Second Raid while he was fighting the Cave Locust? I don't know why, but that was SO funny. xD I found it hilarious, too! When he said "Fumoffu", I immediately thought of it as a reference, but I had some doubt. That doubt was gone when he said "Second Raid". |
 |
| Episode 7: Haruhi forces the others to play Baseball because she is bored :3 Because the team is losing and Kyon is taking it not seriously, Haruhi creates a closed space because of her bad mood :3 So the others must take it serious aswell to prevent Haruhi from changing the world :3 In the end the SOS Brigade wins over the other team by using somewhat what you would call divine intervention (or Alien in this case) :3 But they drop out since Haruhi must have had plenty of fun to fill her boredness and Kyon will pay which sits well for Haruhi :3 In the end Haruhi wants the SOS to play rugby or soccer next, here we go again! >w< |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Lol, the Pirates had no chance. |
 |
| Didn't expect a sudden baseball episode, but it was pretty good! |
 |
on 
| Completely random episode after starting the island mistery :D It's hilarious how this show is scrambled together without any coherence. |
 |
| In the baseball episode, I hope Koizumi dies. I can't stand such fucked up shipping. It reminds me of the shitstorm that was Nisekoi. There was nothing to cheer about this episode. Even in this episode, Haruhi is a bitch, Mikuru is a frail weakling who can't stand up for herself, Koizumi is a bastard who jokes about world ending events and Nagato is nothing. By the time I am done with this, I will rate it either 5 or 6. 1 if it goes dow this shitty route. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Well Kyon got some easy cash xD |
| The episode list has the name of each episode... Anyway, I didn't understand a thing about the cricket and how Haruhi's emblem started the whole chain of events. |
 |
| This episode made no sense whatsoever, and yet I had so much fun watching it. I am completely and utterly baffled and confused by this series that I am amazed of it. How will I go back to other anime after watching something like this? SpudUK said: OK, ill give it a go of decipering this EP. Don't read if you don't want know ;) Hope (I think) that clears this episodes meaning up. Yep, still confused after reading this. |
 |
| This is the best baseball episode that I've ever seen |
 |
| This was a fun episode. I like baseball, so this was quite entertaining. The way Yuki made Kyon's pitches zoom into her glove was hilarious. |
 |
| Nagato made this episode. Saved the game while being chill asf!  Think I'll go to bed now. Loving this show so far though!! |
| Well, that's definitely the best baseball episode I've ever watched in a sci-fi anime. |
 |
| [Chronological order] We are half way through season 1. Wow, this episode felt quicker. Damn, I didn't know Nagato could manipulate her soundings like that. I thought she could only manipulate her soundings if she created like a private room or something. Also, I've been really liking the narration. I hope it stays at least till the end of season 1. |

| Easily my favorite episode in the series up tot his point and possibly forever since this set a super high bar. I love how fun this episode was and I love the baseball premise combined with the series. Yuki was really funny this whole game lmao and I smiled for the very large majority of it 5/5 |
 |
| [CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER] Here after that Bamboo leaf Rhapsody episode. This time a new dimensional void or whatever they call, been created by that missing president of newspaper club. Kinda weird how Nagato and Koizumi were fighting off against that cricket, but hey this weirdness isn't something new. |
 |
| wow, this was mindfuck ride but also an interesting one, that made me thinking a lot about this overall series story. funny though how haruhi isn't aware at all xD |
| Ok I understand what was going here , Suzumiya is a kind of selfish divinity, if Kion can handle her, everything will being fine |

| (The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, aka the baseball episode) Quite solid as far as baseball episodes go, it being kyoto animation definitely helps elevate it with their usual fluid animation. Jujutsu Kaisen has my favourite baseball episode, but this one wasn't anything to scoff at either. Honestly this has been my most favoruite haruhi suzumiya episode so far. |

| Kyon is the conscience of the SOS Brigade, he's the character that represents the ultimate reality, the fact that Haruhi subconsciously chose him was to bring balance to the world. |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| rewatch- chronological order- ep7 so this is the baseball episode now. and while this is more "calm" than the melancholy arc climax, the references in this episode makes much more sense than in broadcast order. in the end they won but had to forfeit xD truly haruhi ideas for boredom. |
