I have so little free time these days that I won't be able to actually watch the show simul, but I can watch after and comment on it. I haven't seen the show since the film came out so this should be neat.

My favorite Haruhi memory was buying the show for my sister with episode order instructions etc., and her review was "yea, the show was fine, but I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't all like the first (Mikuru) episode." Also the only reason I watched the show was because I was scrolling down a list of anime titles and the long name caught my eye, then the weird title made me chuckle so I watched it. In other words, no one from the Internet ruined the show for me by pestering my to watch it.

I didn't remember Tomare, and I listened to it and it's pretty great. So yeah, it didn't have a bad OP/ED, though Season 1's ED put a huge expectation on season 2's. So, yeah. I really liked it! Stealth edit: The autoplay put on the Rec OP. Unstealth edit: Rewatching the ED reminds me that Yuki was the best. Senerio fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Aug 13, 2015 |

this'll be neat to rewatch. haruhi wasn't my first anime, but along with gurren lagann and fma 2003 it's one of the first I went out of my way to find and watch online, rather than just being another cartoon that showed up on weekend blocks like toonami shows

It was hard coming to terms with The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru being a one time thing, but the overall show quality won me over. I can't think of any other first episode that took me quite so awesomely off-guard. Plus I haven't watched it since 2009 (save Disappearance Decembers) so I'm on board. Random thought on Disappearance though: I recently watched a reviewer muse about the different way the movie might have worked without the inner narration of Kyon. Blasphemy many might say, but I'm looking foward to watching again with that in mind... and maybe planting the seed into some enterprising video editor here game for a new project.

Linnaeus posted:Kyon's inner monologues are excellent I think it's partly because I just rewatched Jin-Roh, where the main character has a handful of lines throughout the whole movie (at least that's how it seems). Btw, it finally got a new BR release at $19 vice the $199+ it was 10 years ago, so there's no excuse for everyone here not to own it.  http://www.amazon.com/Jin-Roh-Brigade-Artist-Not-Provided/dp/B00R6PE1DY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439511055&sr=8-1&keywords=jin-roh

I never watched this because the Internet made it seem like it'd be too hard to get into, with all these different watch orders and poo poo. But this is the year I started watching LoGH, another show I had put off for years because it seemed too hard to get into, and that's been great. So if it's as straight forward as just watching it in broadcast order, I will watch this Haruhi's melancholy. I'm also a big fan of Hyouka, so if it's the same studio then that's promising.

The actual timeline of events happens in a specific order in the episodes, (Melancholy Part 1-6, then the other episodes) but since (in the first season) any episode not actually called "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Part X" is stuff like a baseball game the order doesn't really matter and the way they did it allows for big climax at the end of the season.

Wrong, and also, lots of people haven't seen it yet. I personally don't really care about spoilers but I know people do so laying out something like this may give people the wrong preconceived notions. Not a spoiler per se I guess but still man...

Hey I'm glad you went through with this In Training, Haruhi's maybe my favorite show and usually gets interesting reactions from people I don't think it's overhyped, overrated, or any less complex than it's most ardent evangelists claim Mia Wasikowska fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Something to keep in mind for all 'serious haruhi watchers' - who is the author? Most important works of film/tv postmodernism, from Hitchcock to Evangelion fit the auteur theory in some way or another, but Haruhi is unusual in that it's a stylistically coherent work of the strongest order without any single dominant voice behind it, to my knowledge. In other words  Keep this in mind, because it's constantly reflected in the plot. There are lots of shows without an 'author,' but I don't know any that manage Haruhi's level of consistency and self consciousness.

Important to keep in mind, especially considering it's an adaptation of a written work that, due to its structural changes, barely reflects the intent of the original work at all.

My favorite episode is the space battle one. I loved it even more after I watched logh, and I think my viewing of logh was enhanced because of it.

Strangely enough, or perhaps completely intentionally, authorship is a significant plot element in the last episode of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki as well...

A big reason to insist on broadcast order is that it forces even the dimmest people (myself included) to think hard about narrative structure, and how the order of events change the meaning not only of everything that follows but everything prior. This idea is baked into every level of the show, and it's tasty. When I watched it a second and third time I tried making up my own episode orders to deliberately change the meaning of things we can't talk about yet, and sure enough it works well. Everything in Haruhi is in a state of ambiguity, and experiencing it chronologically, while fine, just isn't the most fun, or, as Haruhi would say, the most interesting way to do it. It's a seriously modular show, and definitely by design, but I think they put a lot of thought into the broadcast order. I am convinced every episode matters and there is no filler. Orthodox Haruhism or nothing, imo Mia Wasikowska fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Aug 14, 2015 |

When the Funimation Blu-Rays finally come out they're going to be in chronological order (with maybe The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina first) and that will be ok.

Saw this show mentioned somewhere, was on an anime-binge anyway, decided to catch up on that Haruhi thing everyone was going on about a few years ago. I was surprised how genuinely funny + charming this was. Endless Eight  And now that I'm finished I see there's a Simulwatch coming up
