The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Buffalobiian]

No buff, the first 7 chronological eps of the first season have been reaired, however only three of those eps that have reaired were among the first seven eps ever broadcast. The other four reaired eps occurred much later in the original broadcast order.

I thought I understood, but I didn't, after reading more :S. I think my brain's fried.

Well, I'm downloading [Yuki]'s release of Haruhi HD, which seems to be named in the order which they are airing NOW.

I guess I should check back when it's all done...

Anyone have links to the pictures of the town that Haruhi is based off of? I saw it a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing!! But I can't find it on the Internets and I have no idea where to look..

[Sapphire]

I think Yuki means that only broadcasted eps 02, 03, and.. 04 (last season wise) are actually chronologically somewhat in the right place (before episode 7, in 2006 version). Other than that, the plot was chronologically 'scrambled'. But yeah, so far the episodes that have aired are from last season, up to episode 8.

And the episodes this season are in chronological order.

I liked the new ep alot, it was really interesting and the fact that "John Smith" is the reason why she joined North High to see supernatural stuff is funny too

[Nadouku]

Holy shit! I so did not see Kyon at the corner. Nice pictures, though.

?? So the first season's finished reairing? I thought it only went up to 7, then they aired the special ep8.

[shinta|hikari]

It's an insert episode. The rest of the new episodes should air in July.

[Buffalobiian]

So some people are calling this insert episode Ep8, while others are calling it S2 Ep1, I take it? Makes sense then, if so.

[Kraco]

Calling this episode s2 ep1 makes a lot of sense for groups who are only going to sub the new season. This way they can begin the naming process from episode 1.

What can I say? I completely loved the episode. It kept me laughing with the usual Kyon-sarcasm and all the randomness.

Sad to see the next new episode will take a while to air though.

----------------------------------------------

Well I was originally going to watch the 2006 run, followed by the 2009 eps. The SD eps I had were painful to watch though, so I just watched everything in chronological order instead. ie 2009 eps 1-9.

At first it didn't strike me as an outstanding series, not like Code Geass S1 Ep2. It worked its way up though, and Yuki's fight was a real turning point. That fight looked amazing in HD.

Haruhi's dream sequence would be what I'd call the peak. I'm sure someone must have mentioned it before in this thread, it was VERY reminiscent of Evangelion, complete with opera music, giant celestial beings and the psychological desire to end the world.

After that, the random side-stories/activities weren't nearly as engaging, but this series has "caught" me already.

Final Thoughts: Pony tails turn me on too

Really, no joke.

[shinta|hikari]

That's because Haruhi's dream sequence is the climax of the show, and the final episode of the original airing order. The episodes were not simply re-arranged for the sake of being random, but actually had a clear goal of creating a better flow for the mystery and overall plot. Watching Haruhi in chronological order is (much) worse than watching it in SD, especially because it will end with such an uneventful episode.

[Buffalobiian]

Concerning that hidden part, it mightn't be much of a problem since we're talking about a 26ep run here. Maybe, I don't know.

I re-read some parts of the thread, and I was actually surprised no-one mentioned Eva.

[shinta|hikari]

Oh you are correct about the re-airing being followed by the 2nd season. That should extremely lessen the disappointment you would have experienced if you had to wait for it (for several years!!!) like many others.

[RyougaZell]

One of the reasons I bought the limited edition dvd's of Haruhi. So I could watch the episodes in disorder like they aired. There was a certain magic about seeing it like that.

And to be honest... I've downloaded Yuki's episodes just to have the full 26 ep on the same HD format, but I've just seen the new one so far.

In episode 9 (new season), did anyone else notice that poster of Hirano Aya/Goto Yuko/Chihara Minori on the computer club president's wall? I thought it was a pretty nice touch.

[LaZie]

Was episode 9 a repeat of an earlier episode?

Edit: Yeah I was confused.

[Board of Command]

Was episode 9 a repeat of an earlier episode?

It's one of the original episodes.
