My anime confession: I've only watched Haruhi in chronological order because I was a dumb kid. Maybe it's finally time to fix that.

My hosed up opinion: the broadcast order was a clever way to make it feel like the series was building up to something when it was just the first season but isn't really important, especially now that you can end on disappearance.

but isn't the fact that the "gimmick" order was what they broadcast means that it was intentionally made that way and the chronological order is a fan-created/necessitated thing?
i mean you don't produce an entire series before air, broadcasts would've been dictated by a very deliberate production process.

The chronological order is cannon. They actually listed it at the end of every episode of the first season, and the second season aired in that order.

I don't know much about the books but I think the chronological order follows them.

Maybe the first season just sucks, and the later stuff is actually good because things happen and the characters stop being one dimensional (and even worse, totally unlikable) so there's any reason to give a poo poo on a level beyond the visuals and the voice acting being Pretty Good. But what I saw didn't impress me and gave me no reason to continue (endless eight sounds pretty awesome, I'll give 'em that).

You should definitely watch Endless Eight. I don't think I really appreciated just what they were trying to do with this adaptation until I finished that.

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.

Umm, just find a good source in chronological order, and watch them in the order you want.

I feel like people are overselling EE just a little bit, it really looks like they got green lit for the movie and did it as a replacement out of desperation.

The last two episodes of NGE were partly due to business concerns and they still rule.

The whole meta poo poo with endless eight just totally flies over my head, I like the episodes because they're well made and seeing something from so many angles is really disorienting in a horrifying way.

I remember when I first watched this, I really thought stopping the loop was going to have something to do with the moment outside the cafe with Yuki. I really love how E8 treats Yuki. It doesn't dwell on her overmuch, but every shot she's in feel like it's twisting the knife.

She's not even doing anything, it's all context.

Okay, the lighting has been getting darker over time, right? It was a red sky in episode 3 during the festival?

There are no consistent trends in EE, anything you try to figure out is all in your head.

God. How many centuries of goddamn baseball has he wasted his life on now? Of all the sports to be locked in a time loop with.


No I will not drop my beef with baseball, thanks for asking.

Like right now, non-diegetic. At the dance and the diner, the music was playing over loudspeakers in the background. Diegetic. There's also a lot less music in the first half than usual

It all blurs together which is cool.
