Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

lol this series is so good.
i reccomend you watch it if you havent seen it yet.
the orders confusing
if you have watched it, in what order did you watch it? i confused myself by watching it in a weird way and not the chronoical way.

heres the ep list if anyone needs it:

Haruhi is indeed an awesome series. One of the best-structured shows that I've seen, in fact.

I tried to watch it in episode order at first, but I ended up getting a little lost that way. After watching the baseball episode and having no clue who the heck Koizumi was or what he was doing, I decided to watch it in more of a chronological order. That worked for me a lot better.

As a general rule, I figure as long as you get through the first six main episodes in chronological order, you can watch the rest in any order you want. Though I'd also suggest watching the murder mystery two-parter in chronological order, just because it feels abrupt otherwise.

Hopefully they'll do another season before too long. It's just good quality fun.

EDIT: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I CANT BELIEVE IT!
WIKIPEDIA: The new season of the anime series was first announced in a full-page advertisement of Asahi Shimbun on July 7, 2007 in Japan.[42] Promotional videos for the new season included a live action sequence inspired by the "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody" chapter from the third novel which depicts Haruhi and Kyon breaking into school grounds with the footage taken from surveillance cameras. On December 18, 2007, the anime's official website, haruhi.tv, was replaced by a fake 404 error with five form input fields.[43] If KNSAK (the initials of the SOS Brigade members' family names, with the exception of Kyon, whose initial is taken from his nickname) was inputted, a fake xterm interface opened with messages by "YUKI.N".[44][dead link] At the end of these messages, the enter key could be pressed, which redirected the page to an informational page about the new season.[45][dead link] As reported by Anime News Network, "the 'disappearance' of the website on December 18 at 4:00 a.m. (Japan Standard Time) is a reference to the pivotal date in The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya, the fourth volume in the light novel series and an apparent indication of which novel plot the anime project will adapt."[43]
