The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

[The Cajun]

Anyone else watching/watched this series? I'm on episode 7 so far so please no spoilers.

Anyways, such an odd series. Keeping up with all the 'Haruhi is God' techno garbage is hard enough but the fact the narrative structure is so warped makes it even harder. The way they have the story jumping around is a pretty cool gimmick at the beggining but its starting to wear a little thin.

Opinions?

I love it. Very funny random series. There's 2 orders in which to watch it.

This was the series I was trying to talk about a couple months ago, but some people here are scared to like it. I finished this series last summer, I think it's an awesome show. A few really nice episodes towards the ending. =) Watch the baseball episode before watching the final episode, you'll catch some stuff relating to it.

There`s good reason for people to be afraid to like this series.Word is,this is a average series..extremly overated.But popular due to the internet,and dumb people.

 

[animexcel]

Ironically, that's a pretty dumb reason.

Dying to see this. Hopefully they show some of this at Otakon this year. Giveme a chance to see if I'd like it. There fore, ifI do, all I gotta do is head down stairs to the dealers room and pick it up!

The same animation studio did the opening to Lucky Star

Love the opening, but I wasn't pulled into the first episode. It's suppose to be Azumanga Daioh-ish in a way, but I'll give it another chance.

In what order should the episodes be watched?

In what order should the episodes be watched?

from the begining to the end.. then watch it a couple of times and you can understand it better

 

[X-Ray]

In what order should the episodes be watched?

Most people just watched it in the anachronic order then re-watch it in chronological order.

For the chronological order ...

Episode 2 is the 1st episode.
3 is the 2nd.
5 is the 3rd.
10 is the 4th.
13 is the 5th.
14 is the 6th.
4 is the 7th.
7 is the 8th.
6 is the 9th.
8 is the 10th.
1 is the 11th.
12 is the 12th.
11 is the 13th.
9 is the 14th.

You can tell that this is the correct order by looking at Haruhi's hair. I forget which episode it is. But she said something regarding her hair.

Thanks for the list.

And is the dub any good?

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

I heard that it is,and that most thought it would be horrible.But most were suprised.

 

[Da Docta]

This show is awesome! I'm glad they're making a second season; I want to see more.

I heard that it is,and that most thought it would be horrible.But most were suprised.

Except for the songs, the dub is pretty good.

And did anyone notice that if Haruhi conformed to all of Kyon's wishes Asakura might be coming back?

"...but I actually liked how my life was...including that idiot Taniguchi and Kunikada... Koizumi, Nagato, and Asahina-san... You can even include the vanished Asakura.

OH SNAP!

EDIT- And what's the deal with the talking cat and Kyon's mole?
