| Day of Sagittarius one. Rewatched it, and still one of my favourites. The battle scenes were awesome and hilarious at the same time, especially Mikuru's useless fleet. But what's most awesome is seeing Nagato at her A-game and in her field. She was like a one-woman oiled machine, probably because she kind of is. Loved it! |

| god dammit it's another time loop |

| I've known about the absurd broadcast/chronological orders for a while now, but I wasn't aware of how much they fuck up the way this series is viewed. I'm not sure how I should go about updating this series (given I'm technically already on to season two), but the best option is always the laziest. I hope the people back in 2009 enjoyed having to switch discs if they wanted the optimal way to view this series. Quite a good episode overall, though I was surprised by how stupid Kyon was. He's usually pretty good at putting two and two together, which is why it so was strange for him to doubt that time was repeating itself. I'm also confused by how these characters recognised their feelings of deja vu. Koizumi says that Kyon and himself are only capable of experiencing such a thing because 'him and Kyon are the closest to Haruhi', though I can't recall an instance where Koizumi and Haruhi have actually spoken to one another (aside from when he was joining the SOS Brigade). I suppose Koizumi does have some closeness to Haruhi because he fights her destructive emotions, but Haruhi has always taken more of a liking to Asahina. I'm pretty sure the only reason she isn't experiencing similar emotions is because she could catch on to time repeating itself way sooner. I hear that the second season loses its edge in more ways than one, and I suppose my gripes might just be a result of that. I may come out hating the endless eight arc, but I would be glad to have suffered through it with the handful of people who have bothered to comment on the discussion pages. Until this arc concludes, I dub every one to be a realest one, regardless of whether you're watching the chronological order or not. |

| I just watched the episode about the alternate dimension. According to MAL this episode 13 is actually about Itsuki telling Kyon about Haruhi being able to create said dimension. And now people here say this episode is actually about the Endless Eight. WHY. WHAT IS THE ACTUAL ORDER. HELP. (The episode I watched was good though, I really liked it, but it felt like a finale episode without being one according to MAL, that's all the more confusing) |
 |
| So, seeing that this is some alternative version of the last episode I saw, I'm assuming that this must be part of the famous "Endless Eight" that I've been hearing about. Interesting. |
 |
| 15.499th time loop incoming... I do appreciate that there are minor differences between each loop though. Hard to believe there's only one episode left. |
 |
| [Chronological order] Wow, what a twist. |

| I'm so confused. Last discussion, everyone was talking about some music or concert episode but now everyone is on endless eight like I was? LOL I'm more upset about the fact that it's so messed up rather than the fact that it repeats lmao But damn.. poor yuki :( |
 |
| too much classified information XD. this ep is i liked the most big appreciation for Nagato |
| [CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER] Too much information about dimensional void, espers. And Haruhi feeling her insignificance, damn she was depressed there. |
 |
| airing order~ wow, just wow, truly mindfuck episode, starting with haruhi 'melancholy", continuing with nagato 'espar' powers explanations. except for explaining a lot on episode 4, kyon "commentary" in the end made me think a lot about the slow and quite episodes for a fact. the episode actually made me go back to episode 7 where nagato talked about the enclosed place they are in and saying "my powers have somewhat ability here", probably because it's not haruhi's powers who created that enclosed place. things are just becoming crazier lol. |
| Overall it was very boring as it was a repeat of episode 12, since I watched the anime from episode 1 to 14 in that order & pretty much nothing interesting happened at all. |
 |
| 15,498, poor nagato:( |
| (endless eight part 2) Is it just me, or was there almost NO re-used shots from the first endless eight episode???!!! Angles and perspectives are different, clothes are different, holy sh*t if Kyoto Animation actually made each of the endless eight unique in such a way, I think it'd be a waste to not at least watch what their efforts have created- or rather, recycled. But I'll be frank right now: I am actually very intrigued. The part in which I thought I'd just lose all hope with this series, is where all hope is restored. I don't know if I'll still feel the same as I get deeper into these following endless eight episodes, but as I feel right now, I am ready to consume ALL of them. It is recommended that if you wish to skip over most of the endless eight, apparently you watch the first, second (or is it third, legit one place I think I saw SEVENTH...), and last episode. So maybe the reason I'm excited right now is because I watched the last episode which is actually interesting- because here we see they have realized that they are in a loop. Or perhaps they have come to a point where they realized they are in a loop over 15,000 times already. But the point is this is where we as the audience get to see them realize this fact. Will we continue to get subtle and not-so-subtle changes in the following episodes to come? Or is this 2nd episode the last one that is remotely interesting, before the pointless cycle of doom continues? Whatever it is, I actually believe to get the full of effect of relief when this cycle inevitably gets broken, we do have to watch them all as intended. I believe they give us enough differences from episode to episode to keep us going- unlike what I expected which was the EXACT SAME EPISODE EVERY TIME, frame for frame, line for line. But that is not the case. We get things shaken up, and I think the end of this will make it all worth it. Anyway, one more episode and I'll have technically finished season 1, which chronologically ends with endless eight part 3. It's basically all just one season though, I disagree with splitting it up into two seasons like they did here on MAL. Without further ado, onto episode 3. If it still holds my attention by the end of that one, I think I might very well just watch them all. |

| So, the name The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya makes a lot of sense now. This series is about the absurdity of existence. I love how Haruhi can be completely random, chaotic, sarcastic yet philosophically endearing at the same time. |
  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- ep13 endless eight 2 i feel that this was better than the first episode of this arc xDD probably due the added mystery. the OST of this series is just crazy good mikuru finally putted "that" swimsuit :p |
| We finally get a good look at that giant monster we saw all the way back in episode 4. I think just about everything has been explained now. We now know what Haruhi is, and we know what everyone else is too. If I understand it all, Haruhi is an unaware God with the power to create anything she wishes for without knowing it. Mikuru is a time traveller, Nagoto is an Alien, and Koizumi is an Esper, and finally, Kyon is the sort of catalyst in this whole situation, he's the one who gave Haruhi the idea to start the SOS Brigade and is basically responsible for everything we've seen up until now... This show is awesome! I am so glad I watched this in broadcast order. Everything has suddenly come together now. I don't think there's anything that's unexplained now, apart from the first episode of course |
 |
| Between this and the last, Haruhi is getting a lot more depth than usual |
