The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV).

Though for starters, the episodes are ordered as they were in order to release information about the series at opportuned times. Thus, non-released information is left open to speculation and some mystery -- until the specific episode is shown. For example, Koizumi's powers - by eps. 07, we were shown some of his abilities. However, we weren't shown the background to that power, the limits, and full capabilities until near the end in eps 13.

For those who play Stepmania...



If anyone is interested. :3

I'd suggest to go back around the forties and there'll be a big, detailed, colorful thing posted by some kind soul that summarizes the what and why of the out-of-order.

If you can go get it for me - that would be great.

And great it is.

This too, for easy navigation of the earlier parts.

They're both at about the end of the page.

Just look at the big, colorful posts by frentymon. All credits to frentymon, of course, for such noble efforts and spot-on observations.

This way, the thread won't suffer from cycles of circular circles.

Edit: solve a little mess in the url thingies

Plotwise, I think Episode 7 is much more important than Episode 6 or Episode 8, but putting an exciting Side Story on a mini-hiatus attempts to distract the viewer from this fact, and tries to undermine the importance of Episode 7.

I'll now be bumping my rating of "Very Good" back up to "Masterpiece".

1: Where to get it
2: What skin is that

1. I made it. It is not available for release yet.

I was especially blown away by the school festival episode with Haruhi's rockin group performance. The scenes were animated wonderfully and Haruhi looked great in her bunny outfit.

Personally, I was more a fan of Yuki and her Black Mage outfit. Somehow, I get the feeling I'm never gonna see another Black Mage school girl alien whipping out some hardcore guitar skillz ever again

You'll notice alot of things going on in the background if you rewatch the episode. For example, you can see the band members in the background of one scene running with Yuki and Haruhi following them. That may be the scene you are talking about, actually.

However, there are several scenes like that. I think the band members run past Kyon as he's waiting in line as well.

Yeah, that whole scene started with a feeling on my part that can't even begin to be described with 1000 Shocked faces

The only thing that I didn't feel worked too well was the episode shuffling. About halfway through I just went to the previews and re-numbered the eps to chronological order, and finished the series that way. The baseball episode is the best example of this. I watched it as ep 4, and I didn't understand much of what they were talking about, since esp(ers) and Closed Space hadn't been explained yet. I could go with the chronology gimmick when dealing with comedic elements, but when they started talking about serious topics that I was clueless about, I felt that this was a flaw in the storytelling. When I watched the ep again, in chronological order, it was more enjoyable since I knew what everyone was talking about. This was about the only thing that wasn't masterful about it, though.
