>2009 broadcast order<


That battle! Not bad n_n He instantly fell in love with
Asahina after she specifically told him not to. xD ^.^
I guess the thing she was talking about must be sth
very important, otherwise she probably wouldn't make
effort to come from the future... Hmm... n______n

The worst part about the different orders is that, because I'm watching the initial broadcast order, I can't even read through these threads without getting spoilers of future episodes. Shit.

Anyway, Haruhi made baseball interesting and amusing. Why can't all baseball be that fun?

-Broadcast Order. The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya.-

My boredom, it's better to say. While our Haruhi wasn't bored at all, different fact has to be applied for me, because gosh if I was. I was already spoiled so I know that along Nagato being an alien Haruhi is some kind of god, so some dialogues didn't appear THAT random, but still.. I wonder who's a time-traveller, but I think that it's Mikuru. So following this the other guy should be the esper..
Let's see what we got forward.

Until now, MEH show.

Baseball episode... Definitely a mindfuck, but I guess I can live with that sort of narration. So Haruhi, Nagato, Mikuru and Itsuki are supernatural? I didn't expect it, but it should be interesting.

BTW, the threads for this show are a goddamn mess. Hereby I end my rant and get the hell out lest I encounter spoilers from the chronologically-watching group.

[Watching in broadcast order]

Hmm ... Mikuru saying that her friend was from this time, then quickly backing out.
This esper/alien/time traveler thing is peeking my interest :D
Yuki can make it rain ... ?

Other world, strange beings, closed space?
LMAO homing mode, that's a hell of a spell.
This entire baseball game was hilarious.

Too many difficult words and its even hard to understand. Minus points for that.
Action scene is weird in this kind of show.

Looked so mature on Future version Mikuru but I prefer loli one. She mentioned that Kyon saw Mikuru breast which means they had sexual activity in the future? I jumped a bit though.

The mystery getting deeper.

Episode 4:

Because Haruhi is in a bad mood there is almost no activity for the SOS Brigade :3
Kyon also got a message without any info on just appear on the chosen location :3

Asakura Ryouko was the one who requested Kyon for the meeting for just simply talking and debating a little and the conclusion of that discussion is for Kyon to die!?
Yep Kyon is totally confused about it >w<

Asakura attacks kyon but is saved by Nagato, which proves that their are both aliens in the same organisation :3
In the end Asakura was no math for Nagato who loses and gets deleted :3
Kyon was saved from being killed and has to accept that Nagato is an alien and the things he been informed of might be more than fantasy :3

Haruhis mood gets better with Asakuras sudden absence and later on, Kyon meets the adult version of Asahina-san from the future, another prove that forces Kyon to accept the situation his in and everything hes been notified of :3

In the end Haruhi forces Kyon to investigate the mystery of Asakura :3

Now we only need proof from Koizumi kun of being an Esper to confirm the last things we know :3

Kyon a ordinary human in a club with 3 (possibly 4) super natural beings :3

Can't wait for next episode >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!"

This order thing really makes these threads needlessly confusing.

Yuki sure cut her down to size.

Asakura's coming back right? cause I had a lot more puns planned.

Future Mikuru didn't look right,like they just put her face on someone's else's body, I don't think Kyonai know how to draw adult women.

So, in this episode, MC encounters her class president who is similar to the library girl in the club. Library girl takes care of class president who wants to kill the MC and then MC believes their stories. Then MC sees Future boobs girl's older self and pretty much that's it.

This episode was quite filled with cliches. I hate the fact that the MC has to be set up with the Haruhi and has no shot with Mikuru. Is Mikuru his daughter or something?

If the next few episodes aren't fun, I might as well drop this. They are just talking about time travel and such as if they are trivial matters. Atleast that THOT of a class leader is gone.

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.

Watching in broadcast order so mine is baseball episode.

As usual, hilarious episode. Admittedly there were some things I didn't understand (of course). I take it Asahina is a time-traveller? Also that other guy just showed up and I don't even know his name lol

But damn, I thought the Haruhi being powerful (which isn't explained yet in this order) was just a gimmick but it's actually serious.

Haruhi's energy is just so infectious! I'm loving this weird series and this broadcast order too. I don't get what's happening but it's all so damn fun!

I was expecting a complete shit show, and I've got to say, it kinddd of is one; however, I find that I'm still more intrigued to see how it develops and to have a better understanding of how everyone's powers came to be and why it's relevant to the story and plot development as a whole.

At first, I found Haruhi's character as overbearing and abrasive, but so far I actually find her quite interesting. She's a textbook sociopath, but it feels like there's more to the big picture with her so I'm along for the ride for now. *eats popcorn*

I certainly didn't expect for Asakura to try to kill Kyon. Good thing Yuki was there to save him.

And man, check out the older Mikuru! What a body! In that tight miniskirt, high heels and cleavage! Kyon was just as mesmerized, lol.

[Chronological order, I think]

Finally, we are getting more information about Haruhi, the group around her, and the time-traveling stuff. I'm getting more curious the more I watch.

I didn't expect I would be watching something similar to steins gate. I came into this series expecting just some ordinary school show.

Yuki was cool and all but the out of order style is really starting to damage my enjoyment which is a shame. But of course, this is just my feelings now and it could easily change

[CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER]

A baseball episode this time, well after all those things in last few episodes, can say something like this was needed. Lol Haruhi always taking advantage of Mikuru, but yeah going by hook or crook is the only when it's about winning.

Btw this episode's after that Nagato's reveal in broadcasting order, so can really feel how out of place it was.

(Ryouko vs Nagato episode)

Now this is more like it. Miss Asahina became MOMMY Asahina, and Nagato without glasses looking kind of fine as well.

You know, I don't really see Kyoto Animation as being known for fan service and gore, but they've had an anime with those this whole time.  And here in the same episode nonetheless.
