Loserkid said: For me this was the episode were that esper guy comes in and says Haruhi is a God. Err, alright then. O.o Same. And what the fuck is an esper? |
| jesus so Haruhi Suzumiya is the most unnatural anime character i ever seen xD... i like her spontaenity though... 4/5 |

| Wow I wasn't expecting that... (the alien revelation) |
 |
| extraordinary Haruhi dressed as a rabbit ^ _ ^ but incomprehensible ending episode |
| Im not sure what to expect from this series... |
| HARUHI IS AN ABSOLUTE PISSER! The scene where she blackmailed the boys into giving her a computer was a pip! |
 |
| I'm re-watching this series in chronological order. This is THE episode you are thrown at your face most of the information and the explanations of what will happen in the next episodes. One of the most interesting episodes so far, because what is discovered is just too engaging and thoughtful! |

| I follow the Kyon version, the not chronological order so this episode was about the esper guy... I liked it a lot :) Things are getting really interesting and wow Haruhi sure is powerfull. I don't really like her, for some reason she annoys me a bit but Kyon and the new guy make it all up for me xD And the other girl (Yuki) is nice :) |
| poor Mikuru! being forced to do something you dont want to have happen to you is horrible! and yay Yuki's an alien! ^^ |
 |
| wow, i'm realizing how many familiar english anime voice overs i recognize. crispen freeman as kyon, jonny yong bosch as itsuki,jennifer swekiguchi as mikuru, and michelle ruff as yuki! all of my favorite voice actors from my favorite animes!! |
| this order is driving me crazy! idk which episode to watch next @_@ i need recommendations PLZ someone help! |
   |
| The ending saved the episode. And people think sexual harassment is funny? Well, let me tell you something, young ones. It's not. |

| Absolutely not sure of what order to watch this show in. Just finished the Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, onto episode 5 since that is the episode they said should come next O_O |
| Haruhi! :) I don't know if it's just me but I get some Holo vibes from her. Perhaps the superiority and cunningness to go with her fun and playful nature. (Of course, Holo would be required to take Hyper pills ^^) Oh yeah, laugh at me but Haruhi and Mikuru in a bunny suit = the reason I really started this series ^^. Any way, this entire "order" is intriguing. I watched the episode where Haruhi blackmailed the Computer Club and Mikuru lost her "virgin mentality" lol. Yuki claiming her and Haruhi to be some sort of extraterrestrial being is an important scene to recall too. I hope I don't juggle the watching order back and forth. |

| So, Koizumi is introduced and he reveals his nature as well and so does Mikuru. Haruhi continues to be awesome, and Kyon is confused. It occurs to me that there has been quite a bit of foreshadowing to future plot lines in these first three episodes. |

| Ok, I really can't mince the idea of this show at this point.I find it much enjoyable, but I hope things are gonna get clear later on :D I feel so bad for Mikuri-chan :D |
  |
| Love Haruhi already :') but that asahina girl is kinda annoying |
| The blackmail scene left me with a bad taste in my mouth. It was a milder case of "girl falsely accuses man of rape", no thanks. |
| Wow. What just happened? First an alien, then a time-traveler, and even an esper? o_o Just exactly what Haruhi wanted! So much crazy information was thrown in face that I don't even know what to think. I think I may rewatch this episode again. The directing is really interesting...and confusing, especially during Nagato's scene with the fast speaking and words flashing quickly onto the screen. Asahina's was weird too, the dialogue fades in and then fades out. I guess it really fits the alien to have the information given in a jumbled up manner, and the other fitting of the time-traveler of "fading" into the past and future? The director definitely knows what he's doing. |
| I'm really confused right now. I've watched the episode where the esper comes in. But others are talking about another episode. I just figured out that there are many different orders to watch it in... |

|
| So some sort of mystery is unveiled. But first, LOL at more stripping. Poor Mikuru. |
 |
| Pity to the computer research club. |
| Well, at least Haruhi dons a bunny suits, too. And whatever that other outfit would be. It's the same with undressing in front of whoever happens to be nearby. Thats quite a big difference to many bossy people. The problem lies in the fact that it's not embarassing for her at all, while Mikuru is already making plans in case her future is ruined.. |
| So much revealed in this episode. Intriguing. Looking forward to watching the next one... :33 |
 |
| "Don't you, also, need to talk to me?" awesome phrase! it left me speechless! awesome humor in this series! |
 |
| i can't understand anything from this anime..yet, i like it ! |
| These discussion topics are useless considering people are actually watching different episodes... but omg, Haruhi is so over the top and crazy she almost makes me want to rethink my utter hatred of tsundere characters. |

| Broadcast order My God this episode sucked! Haruhi was so annoying! But annoying is insufficient, I'd say more vexing. And also Kyon when he letted Mikuru being forced by Haruhi after having illuded her was an ass. It's since School Days that I haven't cringed for character's actions like that. |
| i cant figure out this show, but im loving every second of it |
| -is that girl alien or what? the heck why she talk like that? is she shy |
 |
| =_= There's sexual harassment in almost every episode. |
 |
| Seeing the comentaries It seems im watching this in chronological order lol I was okay watching in broadcast order but this is fine too so, Haruhi is quite a bully with Mikuru, I almost feel bad for her, but it seems she enjoy it, if not why doesn't she quit instead? and that last scene got me curious, is this going that rute for real? or ar we're talking about chuunibyo case? mmm |
 |
| [Watching in broadcast order] LMAO ... Haruhi is so cunning :D Love how fast Kyon ran out the room as soon as he saw Haruhi undress. Yuki mentioning that Haruhi and herself arent human but aliens, I somehow believe her with all the random stuff Haruhi has done ^^. I dont see how people find the broadcast order confusing or hard to follow, sure there's some questions but it's fun to try and figure it out. |

| More follies with a surprise at the end. -- Más locuras con una sorpresa al final. |
| Whats going on?? The wish of Haruhi has granted and now Alien, Girl came from future and esper has gathered around her??? This is starting to get interesting. I thought this show was just slice of life but unexpectedly Sci-Fi is strong in this show, man. Now Mikuru is my favorite girl. Absolutely she is the kind of girl that I want to date. Holy Shitts, Haruhi is now God, LOL. 4.5/5 This episode is unexpectedly good!! |
 |
| Episode 3: Nagato explaining the situation to Kyon :3 The new mystery transfer student have appeared, his name is Koizumi, a person with a laidback attitude and always with a smile (creepy for Kyon lol X3) :3 Haruhis attiude is definitely not ordinary :3 Second to reveal their identity is Asahina-san, a time traveler from the future :3 I just love the characters more and more for each episode <3 >w< Last person to reveal (or Kyon approach him) his identity is Koizumi-kun, an esper ;3 Nagato an alien! Asahina-san a time traveler!? Koizumi-kun a esper!? Just because Haruhi wished for it, wow that ability can be considered divine if Haruhi didn't know anything about her hidden powers :3 Can't wait for next episode >________< |
"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!" |
| broadcast order Rewatching this for the second time I really feel that this episode could have set up what might have been an interesting conflict between three organizations with different agendas regarding what is more or less a sentient WMD. But nope, just high school hijinks to look forward to |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| How convenient, a time traveler, an alien, and an esper walk into a club room. |
 |
| I really didn't care much for the first 2 episodes, but this one got my attention. Curious to see where it goes from here. |
 |
on 
| Judging by Proxanto's post, I am also watching in broadcast order. I L O V E these series. When Nagato gave *Hyperion* to Kyon, that's when i was completely convinced that writers of this show are my kind of people. <3 |
 |
| I just watched the esper episode. IT was okay. I am not believing the fact that all 3 of them are superhumans, rather that they are just kidding/brainwashed. Anyhoo, that naked cute girl was funny and hot, also, I think Haruhi has a crush on MC(isn't it obvious?) |
 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. |
| Whew exposition dump much, all the screwing around with the perspective and such during the Yuki reveal was admittedly pretty cool, but it's still ultimately pointless since I'm pretty sure Aure0lin was right, nothing is ever going to come of this. Oh Ryoko wasn't in this episode, I missed her even though there wasn't much of her to miss. |
| Poor girl, that's literaly bullying. I don't know why that airhead is still Going to the club. |
| Watching in the broadcast order. Gotta say the randomness and overall weirdness of this serious is really hilarious and fun to watch. Poor Mikuru though :( "As bold as thieves." Considering that Haruhi literally used her own member to blackmail the computer club showing no hesitation at all while smiling the whole way, I'd say she's bolder than thieves. Haruhi completely doesn't know privacy, forcefully changing Mikuru and also changing herself with Kyon right in the room lol Gotta say she's hot though. Mikuru too. |
