					<description>I agree with some of the comments above me. I like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, but sometimes Haruhi annoys the crap out of me with her arrogance, I don't always understand why so many people like her, she's not that likeable, and I feel bad for poor Mikuru. :|</description>

					<description>&quot;Yes, finally - someone agrees with me. I absolutely DESPISE the concept of how the world basically revolves around that arrogant brat. Seriously, I couldn’t care less if the world exploded after anyone angers her. I would rather let the world perish than worship that, err, person. &quot;

EXACTLY. Finally someone agrees with me. Haruhi is oh so special. Great. I didn't find developement in character very compelling or interesting, and the problem is that it was hardly there. Haruhi is such a conceited protagonist, as fun loving and random as she is, she never really interested me. I'd rather watch FLCL for &quot;random anime.&quot;

					<description>I fail to understand how the &quot;filler episodes&quot; weren't awesome. I mean the space fight? The rock song? 

But I guess that happens when you hate a character so much you need to ignore everything else. I actually have no problem witht hat.

The only thing I find ridiculous is calling her a flat character, because she definitely is more complex and original than most character's I've ever seen. And if you fail to see that, then maybe you should watch it again or, maybe, think about it a little.

Clichè character? Don't make me laugh. I'm assuming you skipped all the scenes where her actual view of the world was discussed between Kyon and Koizumi or even Haruhi herself.

If you see nothing more than &quot;Lol hyperactive girl molesting moe girl&quot;, then you should perhaps go back to true moe shows. Do you even understand WHY she does that stuff?

Of course, I'm speaking as a Haruhi fan, but don't think I'm blinded by cute appearances and funny scenes. I know that she's a horribly flawed character pretty well. In fact, that's why I like her.</description>

					<description>The reason why people are over-hyped is since they have already read the novels. The first part is interesting, but what I don't get is why you all say Haruhi hasn't any char development. She has. Why don't you watch ep 9 and find out.

Or maybe, read the translated Light Novels at Baka-Tsuki. I'll see you revise your statement, kimi-chwan.</description>

					<description>Your summary of Haruhi no Yuutsu is great! I also liked Kyon, Itsuki, and Yuki, but they weren't enough to make me love the anime like I thought I would.  Even without Haruhi's presence, I disliked Mikuru.  However, like you, I felt that the biggest reason for me hating the series was the fact that I can't stand that controlling bitch, Haruhi Suzumiya!  Here are the top four reasons I disliked her:
1.	She’s NOT a genius like the fans made her out to be (she acts especially impulsive in the computer game episode).  She gets good grades and has an above average level of intelligence, but she’s not spectacularly intelligent by anime standards.  
2.	NEVER at any point in the series does she redeem the hateful demeanor we are forced to endure for 13 or so episodes.  She's a flat character!  She never undergoes any NOTICABLE growth in maturity, her &quot;visit to the baseball game&quot; experience was thought-provoking, but is only mentioned once and is never discussed or even contemplated again in the series, and she never does ANYTHING of any merit when interesting stuff happens (Yuki does most of the legwork).  
3.	I have a couple friends that were sexually abused in their childhood and therefore, I found her repeated molestations of Mikuru incredibly tasteless and VERY hard to watch.  What Haruhi does to Mikuru is NOT something a lovable tsundere would do, that's something a convicted sex offender would do.  
4.	She’s a cliché stock character!  The excessively hyperactive and determined stock character has been done before and has been done a lot better (Luffy [One Piece], Tomo Takino [Azumanga Daioh], etc.).  
Why do people like Haruhi so much?!  Note: I have not yet read the manga, so I am only criticizing the ANIME version of Haruhi Suzumiya.  Overall, the seiyuus were good for the most part, the art of the series was pretty good, and the idea of the series is interesting, but I felt that Haruhi's over-the-top tsundere personality and her freaking annoying cult following ruined the entire series for me.  In short, the anime Haruhi no Yuutsu had potential, but turned out to be disappointing. :(</description>

					<description>Nice job failing to mention any of the metaphors &amp;amp; deeper meanings in the show...
Not to mention the fantastic cinematography.</description>

					<description>I agree with you about the scenes in the clubroom, where they were just sitting around relaxing and getting on with the grind of the summer/winter. I adored the scene with Nagato sitting reading as there was some speech learning class on. I don't know why, but they seemed really nostalgic and alluring. I hope to hell the next series keeps some of this as it will be a real shame to lose the feeling they give off.

However, heres the bombshell, I liked Haruhi. I think the show needed something like her, arrogant, and even annoying. She gradually changed but having the contrast between her loud, irritating moments allows the quaint moments to be all the more rewarding.

Anxiously awaiting the next installment, though, terrified it will be a disaster.</description>

					<description>Its strange to hate a character for being annoying/arrogant/any-negative-traits. Its not wrong to hate a real person for that, but a character is like that because she/he need to be. If Haruhi became more mild, then the story won't happened. 

Anyway, she just genki.</description>

					<description>Tom - I never claimed that they weren't intentionally done, which, as you said above, obviously was. I'm just asking why they never packaged in that order (seriously, who cares about the previews in DVDs - do they even have previews?) - if, as you also claimed before, gave the series a little bit more &quot;sugar and spice?&quot;</description>

					<description>I really do enjoy the series a lot and I'm looking forward to a second season if there is one. Looking at the larger picture, everything does go well together. 

Like Kyon, you enjoyed the quiet parts which was like a break from Haruhi's antics. I guess you did relate to the setup of the characters in some way. ^_^

I pursued the series in the following order:

1) Watched broadcast order. I didn't know it was in the wrong order at first so I did get confused.
2) Wikipedia'd and watched in chronological order. Ah! Much better! That's how it went. 
3) Read the novels. Lotsa stories and details there that really helped flesh things out.
4) Watched the series in chronological order again. Much, much better. ^_^
5) Listened to the Character Image songs and Drama CDs. Lotsa references and insights in the lyrics after you've done all of the above ^_^;

Anyway, it's not the only show that I like, but it does set itself apart after absorbing most of the available material. Right now, I'd have to put it right beside my classic favorite, Urusei Yatsura. ^_^</description>

					<description>I agree that the series should be watched in the order it was aired, because i can see how incredibly boring it would be to watch it any other way.  if all the interesting stuff was taken care of in the first half and the filler type episodes marathoned towards the end, i would have stopped watching too.  this way it captured your attention throughout the whole series.  </description>

					<description>If Suzumiya Haruhi stops being like a *CENSORED* I'll watch Season 2 =/ Seriously the one only thing that made me stop watching was how I LOATHED Haruhi's character. Seeing her on screen made me seeth so much I couldn't go past episode 5. And then the fandom made it even worse =_=</description>

					<description>Oh, and to answer your question directly... the episode names were left in chronological order as PART of this &quot;tactic.&quot; The way the show was originally structured, you could easily use the episode names and the next-episode previews to figure out what the chronological order was SUPPOSED to be... but that's not how it was presented.

No, it was definitely very intentional.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Oh, and to answer your question directly&#8230; the episode names were left in chronological order as PART of this &#8220;tactic.&#8221; The way the show was originally structured, you could easily use the episode names and the next-episode previews to figure out what the chronological order was SUPPOSED to be&#8230; but that&#8217;s not how it was presented.</p>
	<p>No, it was definitely very intentional.</p>

					<description>alida: Well, if you watch the show in its original broadcast form, the next episode previews show that the &quot;randomized&quot; order was obviously VERY intentional, as the dialogue generally consists of Haruhi and Kyon arguing over what the next episode number is (with Kyon using the broadcast order, and Haruhi using the chronological order). All the more reason to wonder why the show got reordered for the DVD releases... I suspect a blunder on Bandai's part.

All I know is, having watched the show in broadcast order originally, that was VERY, VERY OBVIOUSLY the intended order. I have zero doubt in my mind about that. And anyone who didn't watch the show in broadcast order was honestly missing out.

					<description>Hello. I know this is a bit off-topic but I think you should check out this anime here. It's downloadable in 4 different languages (including Japanese).

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-03-28/megumi-anime-about-girl-abducted-by-n-korea-posted

It's about a girl named Yokota Megumi who was kidnapped by North Koreans in 1977 (true story). The quality may be low but I think you might like it.</description>

					<description>overall i loved this series,of course the story was not perfect maybe a few flaws here and there but the characters were the main thing i liked about this anime even if some were representing  various stereotypes
Kyon was great,i found him very interesting from the first episode with his sarcastic nature and the his voice actor is one of my favorites ( some characters of his i like : Gintoki from Gintama,Mayama from Honey and clover...) 
back to Haruhi this anime is a combination of different genres of anime but i think it does a great job in almost each one of them,i especially enjoyed the more slice of life oriented episodes,the more quiet episodes but i cannot deny that i like almost each of this series episodes and i even watched this anime twice in the course of a year (i rarely do that even if the anime is a short one) so even if not everyone thinks it is that great and people think it is overrated (everything is overrated and underrated in the end :) ) i still will be waiting for the second season that will be eventually released :D</description>

					<description>I must say I could never finish the series. Not because of the quirky order or anything, but the MOE. D= I hate that, really, really hate that, and even if redhaired boob girl got more development later, she scared me off enough in the first episode (which really is what episode in the anime?) to kill my interest for the anime. 
(Then of course, with my double standards, had it been a &lt;i&gt;boy&lt;/i&gt;, I most definitely would have stuck around, because CUTE~! ...Shounen-ai/yaoi fangirl, can you tell? &amp;gt;_&amp;gt; )</description>

					<description>Seriously, Tom, - if they had that much of a tactic, why did they not NAME THE EPISODES IN THAT ORDER INSTEAD!!?</description>
