Endless Eight is the worst thing to happen to Haruhi ever. At least the animators weren't lazy. :\ I was totally hoping for so much more from this series, but all we got was Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, Endless Eight, and The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi. Three new stories out of 14 episodes. I blame Endless Eight and the fact that Kyoto Animation are trolls.
Also, I've changed my stance from "release order is best" to "chronological order is best" there are some things that you will miss if you watch it in release order.
For those curious, the new chronological order looks like:
1 The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 1
2 The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 2
3 The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 3
4 The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 4
5 The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 5
6 The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 6
7 The Boredom of Suzumiya Haruhi
8 Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (New)
9 Mysterique Sign
10 Remote Island Syndrome Part 1
11 Remote Island Syndrome Part 2
12 Endless Eight (New)
13 Endless Eight (New)
14 Endless Eight (New)
15 Endless Eight (New)
16 Endless Eight (New)
17 Endless Eight (New)
18 Endless Eight (New)
19 Endless Eight (New)
20 The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 1 (New)
21 The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 2 (New)
22 The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 3 (New)
23 The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 4 (New)
24 The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi Part 5 (New)
25 The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru Episode 00
26 Live Alive
27 The Day of Sagittarius
28 Someday in the Rain
The release order of the new episodes is chronological, so if you have the original Haruhi release order, just tack the new episodes onto the list in order.
Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
Can someone list the order of episodes in release order; I am having trouble finding it. This looks like a really cool series and I can't wait to read and/or see it.
Have you tried
