MaxiDennis said: Damn, reading this forum is making my head explode. Personally, I don't get why people watch the chronological order. It's like watching Baccano or Pulp Fiction in the "right" order. It just beats the purpose of it. To me, it makes more sense watching the way the original creator wanted to. But preference is preference. Anyways, for the show itself, I really liked the narration. I hope it stays. And the MC changing seats sitting beside the window? Certified MC. And as for Haruhi's character, I personally dont find her annoying. And as for the dub goes, I'm really like it—a lot of well-received VAs. Based on your comments, it seems you're watching the chronological order though. The thing with Haruhi is that both the original broadcast order and the chronological order are completely fine. |

Oh damn. Was there supposed to be episode 0 (don't think it's dubbed)? If so, I'm watching the order on Funimation (dubbed). Oh well, I don't care more. Just going to watch season 1 -> season 2 -> movie. Well, if I were to watch the broadcast order, what would have episode 1 be about? Thanks in advanced. |

There's no episode 0, Funimation has all the episodes, you'll be fine. However, they separated season 1 and 2 in a weird way. They have all the episodes ordered chronologically so there are episodes of the actual season 2 between episodes of season 1, you'll notice that because the opening is different. So basically, if you see the normal opening, you're watching season 1, if you see the other opening, you're watching season 2. I'm telling you that because Funimation's season 1 ends on basically nothing and that triggers some people when they judge the anime. As for your other question, episode 1 of the broadcast order is episode 25 on Funimation (The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00). You can check this thread if you want, but I suggest you to continue like you are watching right now. |

I was confused about episode 00, because I was comparing it to the Netflix order (changed to Funimation because they didn't have the dub). Gonna stick with the Funimation order. Thanks again. Edit: To clarify, I'm watching on a free trial account. Not gonna give them a cent. |

| I thought this was pretty good. I wasn't expecting haruhi's personality to change so much into that energetic type but I don't mind lol. Sugita being the voice behind kyon is perfection and it improves my enjoyment overall Definitely not a bad start |
 |
| [CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER] Here after that Sighs arc, and we finally got to see that complete movie and damn it's fucking hilarious. Kyon's commentry had me laughing for the whole of 24 minutes. Also this being the very first episode of the series is absolutely baffling, just what the heck those creators were thinking at that time. Watching it in chronological order only will make you appreciate this episode and this series the way it needs to be. |
 |
| really have headache just realizing in what order to watch, not because it's obvious to watch it by release or chronological but because my batch is arranged by the chronological so it was hard to make the order list of the airing order, which i'm gonna use for the 1st time so, here we go. *airing order* only by ep00 "plotline" i'm going to known what to expect from this series lol. lot of fanservice lol. |
| Had no idea there was different orders to watch this, I'm just gonna watch it in the order zoroto has put it in and hope for the best. Anyway, I really have no idea what I just watched. I'm not sure what I was expecting either, but it definitely wasn't that. It got kinda boring and repetitive closer to the end but for the most part it was funny. |

And as for the dub goes, I'm really like it—a lot of well-received VAs. Except, this story wasn't supposed to be non-linear. It's just the writer and director of the anime trying to be all artsy fartsy by broadcasting the episodes randomly for no good reason. The source material is in chronological order, so that's how I'm going to watch it. Also, Baccano and Pulp Fiction jump from one time period to another by shuffling scenes, not episodes. The non-linearity is part of the story and narrative, not some broadcasting gimmick. |
| This is one of the cringiest anime I've ever seen. This one episode felt like an eternity. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Dropped this a few episodes in about a year ago or so, probably because the whole thing seemed rather annoying. I remember the each of the few first episodes I did watch having felt like they were going on forever. Maybe that's because I had a rather jam-packed PTW list full of other anime I wanted to watch more than this, and looking forward to those most likely limited any potential enjoyment I could have had from this. But now with my PTW list practically empty apart from titles that have still yet to air, I have been taking things a bit more slow and can better appreciate things- generally speaking. So yes it's time for me to pick up Haruhi Suzumiya again, partly with the intent of hoping to find some enjoyment in this which I may have missed out on, but with mostly the reason being wanting to watch the movie, which I keep hearing such good things about and I just don't want to miss out on that. I believe all the praise it has gotten is deserved, and that it really is the god-tier anime movie that most hail it to be. So yeah, the movie is my end goal, but I also hope that the 28-episode journey to get there won't feel like a TOTAL chore and that I will actually enjoy it for the most part. I'll shut up now since you probably aren't going to read whatever this is anyway; I'm just putting this here for my own sake of getting my thoughts down somewhere. I will not be bothering with watching it in the supposed broadcasting order or whatever, I'll just watch in whatever order it's given to me. I have no clue if MAL has them ordered in the same way, especially with the 2nd season from 2009 with its infamous endless eight arc- which I'm totally looking forward to, holy sh*t. So yeah I'm probably not going to be bothering with these episode discussion threads as I usually do. Anyway, the sites I usually use are seemingly always buffering with this show, so I legit restarted my crunchyroll premium account just for this. Enough rambling now, I just hope I can even enjoy this half as much as the fans have. See you around. Oh yeah and just real quick, I love all the motion to the animation. The visuals certainly aren't static. It is Kyoto Animation, after all. |

The part where Asahina shoots the AK and where Shamisen talks are amazing. xDDDDDDDD  |
 |
| Broadcast order Re-watching Haruhi, props for being one of the most creative things I've ever seen regarding the genre. I think Haruhi has the same status of Evangelion in the media, iconic classic. |
  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 |
| ~rewatching - chronological order so for the start of the anime there's no such different between date or chronological. but from the way i remember the anime, the chronological will be much less mindfucking way to watch it. still, it might fix some issues that in the airing order there isn't. can't get enough of haruhi determination. and the way kyon is supposedly involved in her mind lol kyon is also still one of my favourite anime characters. he knows what would be the "average" and "normal" way to react to haruhi nonsense lol |
| What did I just watch? So I decided to watch this for the first time in broadcast order, and I already love whatever this is. I'm so confused by this entire episode but I'm guessing it'll make sense later. This first episode was just sooo good! The fight scenes, the scenes on the lake, the acting, that roof scene LOL I need more! |
 |
| this shit was so boring i ended up taking a 2 hour nap mid-way through watching this. and i'm watching in chronological order. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Broadcast order What a start! A hilarious amateur's movie. That OP is gold |
| This "amateur movie" episode is absolute genius. Wow. I was watching in chronological order and was not expecting to see the finished movie in full. I cannot fathom watching this series in broadcast order, but watching this episode as the very first episode would have been quite an experience, I'll give them that. I still think it'd be much, much funnier to come across this episode in chronological order (as the 25th episode). |
