I just started watching the show, but I'll rewatch what I've seen to join in on this. It's waaaaay more bizarre than I ever expected, and I kinda dig that.

Hell, it'll be worth rewatching what I've seen for The Adventures of Misuru Asahina.

The chronological final episode of Haruhi kind of seems like an anticlimactic way to finish the series, tbh

Normie here. I've always held the OP as someone who has good taste, but when I see stuff about this anime it just looks like another high school girls anime, which never really interested me. People just say "its good" and that its a comedy with some drama in it, but I don't actually know what it's about. Am I missing something, or is it just what it is?

I thought this too a few days ago. Speaking in past tense here.

The point Zas is making, is that the broadcast order for Haruhi is weird, and cool, and interesting

Just discovered this show got a spinoff this year. It was bad. Greatly disheartened by this, I started looking for indications, any really, of a season 3, because there seems to be really crazy material left.

...they'll never make another season, will they? :sigh:

From the sounds of it, it doesn't seem like that would really even be the best idea, since Disappearance of Haruhi apparently ended the original series on a really high note. Sometimes it's better to just finish something and move on to different projects.

for anyone looking for some background material before we get going I recommend https://www.gutenberg.org/files/18269/18269-h/18269-h.htm#SECTION_II and/or http://www.amazon.com/Everything-Always-Wanted-Afraid-Hitchcock/dp/0860915921

I have an uncle who works at kyoani and he tells me their adaptation was heavily influenced by Pascal and Lacan, so you know, it's legit stuff.

You've gone too far this time.

I guess I can kind of get it, with the implication of watching it while it was being broadcast, but that is still literally giving up an episode before things start happening again, yeah.

I totally see why you love the sexual assaulter whose tantrums threaten to end the world, and who also considers everyone playthings for her amusement. Also it's really funny to call characters gay as an insult, and characters who struggle with completely comprehending emotions are never used in celebrated scifi/fantasy.

Yeah, watching Boredom without mistakenly watching Melancholy Part 3 first really makes it much more apparent how much they hosed with viewers here.

It sounds like the world is a program.

Haruhi secretly began the "trapped in an MMO" trend and nobody ever realized it!!!
