THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
On the DVDs this was The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya which was the baseball tournament. Very funny episode - especially Yuki playing baseball.

The MAL setup for discussing episodes won't work for this series I think ;) Kinda weird, I'm following the DVD order and I just saw the ending of the broadcast version. It really looked like an ending, but I'm actually only halfway through. Science should invent some kind of memory eraser so I can watch this series in both orders and choose afterwards the way I liked it most and remember that one. Maybe re-watch it after couple of years, but I don't think I'm going to forget this series soon ;)

Like I said in my post - I watched the DVD's. It was in fact the baseball episode on the DVD. There are different orders from the broadcast version to the DVD version which is why I stated I watched the DVDs. There is a good page about it on wikipedia if you'd like to watch it in chronological order as many people prefer The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Episodes

The DVDs put the episodes in the correct order?? :O That's terrible! The crazy order is one of the best things about the anime, keeps you confused and interested and results in awesome first and final episodes!!!

I'm sure personal opinions vary. The DVD or any download at this point allow you to watch it in whichever order you prefer. You could watch them backwards if you were so inclined.

Its kind of difficult to accept the whole concept and idea of the show. I find it abit "ridiculous" even for a sci-fic show.

In reference to the DVD episode 8 (baseball tournament) I felt this was kind of filler-y feeling. I guess you can't have a lot of "meat" in every episode when something is showed on TV, you need to give viewers a break every now and then.

Necrobump? Sorry, but I'm dying to know why Koizumi was staring at the beauty mark on Kyon's neck in episode 8 (Broadcast order, Remote Island Syndrome 2)

Is it the same idea as Mikuru's mark or what?

What's really fun is if you forget what site you were streaming this from and choose one that has it in a different order, lol. Episode 8 for me is Remote Island Syndrome (Part 2). I wish I remembered where I started streaming this in the first place it would have saved a lot of confusion. Episode 8 on another site was about the SOS symbol which I know I watched last, lol.
Such junk...

Being a Itsuki x Kyon pairing fan, I like to think it's because Itsuki pays attention to every minute detail of Kyon's body.

BTW, it's not a beauty mark, it's a nasty mole with a hair growing out of it...but Itsuki still loves it.

watch it at animeseason.com

if its in chronological order, its the 2009 remake..
theres a page for this too...its considered as a sequel...

anyway, the black unknown ppl at the end looked like conan's unknown criminal...(not sure about anime but im refering to the manga...)

It was the Mystery Island pt 2 for me.

I loved every second of it and found the conclusion very Haruhi-like :)

Oh yeah, Haruhi was seriously trying to make me pass out during the cave scene. The teasing was so mean. ^^

The Remote Island Syndrome 2 comment here. It feels really good that this episode followed in the sequence, but now the order I watch this anime in really makes some sense, because I actually guessed what (and why) is happening around. About the murder "case" - I succeeded in solving it, mostly because Koizumi's greeting in part 1, but still I thought that there was indeed a real murder around. Well, what do you know.

I totally can't guess what's next.

Oh I actually really liked this episode. Interesting about the time traveling. Lol at Kyon's ability to spout out lies, like how Mikuru was his older sister who has narcolepsy, that's why he's carrying her around. Junior High Haruhi is pretty much the same as HS Haruhi, not surprising. But wow loved the part about Yuki freezing time o_o and how the first time Kyon and her had the alien talk, the other Kyon was in the next room sleeping...crazy.

This. No idea what's going on with the order, but I guess if one continues to watch from the same place it'll be ok.

So while striping down to her underwear and forcing Mikuru to do so in front of whoever happens to be nearby is not unusual for her, she hesitated and ultimately stopped when it came to taking off her bra, despite Kyon being the only one there on the other side of a big rock and it being quite dark there - so not exactly public. I guess thats a good thing, she's not totally insane or whatever then..

Hehe, can't believe if Kyon told Little Haruhi that sliders may exist then there'd be one more member in the" new" future that he's returning to.
These time loops are what makes this series so interesting.

Remote Island II: LOL this was a great episode. Kyon being "badass" was epic. Guess he's actually really smart. I also really liked his line about how he knew Haruhi wouldn't ever wish for a murder...and Koizumi's zoom-in of Kyon's mole had me rolling.
