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

Maybe we should put Haruhi-chan on the agenda. Just saying, it's a classic in its own right, and not that long.

yes, why not.

If you've got a set that presents series 1 and 2 in the 2009 broadcast order (i.e. chronological season 1, with season 2 eps put in where they would fit in chronologically) then the correct episode order is:

25
01
02
07
03
10
09
11
28
04
27
26
05
06
08
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
The movie


If you own the two seasons as seperate box sets then season 1 may be presented in chronological order as opposed to broadcast order. The order then would be

SEASON 1 DVDS

01
02
03
08
04
10
09
11
14
05
13
12
06
07

SEASON 2 WOULD BE IN THE CORRECT ORDER

All those different broadcast orders are loving me up. I finally found out which kind of order I actually have after watching the wrong ones at first. And then today I checked out the beginning of the first episode for tomorrow and thought: man, I've hosed up again. And then I remembered we're watching the hosed up broadcast order...

I have finally caught up. Can't say much, but there is definitely a lot of interesting stuff going on. Especially what happened in the cave.

Watching tonights episodes now instead of tomorrow, the next episode is one of my favourites even if nothing happens.

I watched them just now. I really want to hear about the reasoning of watching in this order.

And by the way I'm watching this the second time now and am enjoying it way more than the first time.

This. A good negative example of this is the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
