| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ep 13 was The Day of Sagittarius on the DVD. Funny episode. Gotta love Yuki's hacking skills and Mikuru clueless with her neko-man crew was a funny scene also. |
    |
| yes that was funny but it wasnt the REAL episode 13... god dam i hate this order system thing the apparent real episode 13 was esper fight-tastic. Felt like it didnt have much "meat" in the episode but I enjoyed it. |
     |
| I didn't expect them to be playing a strategy game whatsoever, great episode! |
 |
| Actually, this is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 5 which is ep 13 in broadcast order. The Day of Sagittarius is actually ep 11. Anyway, interesting ep, Haruhi explaining the insignificance of her existence was quit depressing. Our insignificance in this world is so small that having it explained for you is kinda sad. |
     |
| Yeah but when you get down to it, Haruhi is actually a pretty relatable character on many levels. She doesn't want to be some boring normal human. Of course, we know she isn't. But, the sad thing is she doesn't. |

| Yuki the superhacker XD |
 |
| they were playing a game similiar to warcraft/starcraft! fog of war was turned off, awesome parody haha |
 |
| Huh, episode 13 was about the espers and closed space for me. I only have one more episode to watch but I doubt it will conclude anything. I'll be finishing this series tonight within 30 mins. |
| Such junk... |
| Dvd order - Day of the Sagittarius. I don't think its actually possible to reprogramme a game while its running.... Though the cryengine 3 has that live create thing. I guess its kinda the same in a way. Anyway I loved this episode. I'm so sad it nearly over. I might skip some of these episodes when watching season 2 if there's nothing changed. |
| lol Ohmy. Nagato looked cute pounding that keyboard to death. That win was epic, to say the least. |
| The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 5-that's what i watched :) quite a boring episode,why s many explications xD...i mean wth,i am watching anime not the history channel xD 4/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| exploit the game in real time)) is cool |
| I now understand a lot, this is the episode where we see the Esper's powers, closed space explanation and the Celestials... and for some reason, the order of the episodes so far finally start making some sort of sense. |
 |
| Day of the Sagittarius ofc. Nice battle :D |
 top 3 anime: Code Geass | One Piece | Death Note |
| Yuki pwns yall!! |
 |
| Yuki is so awesome =D this battle was so cool X3 i loved how it went from in the game 2 like silence in the room XD |
 |
| I watched the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part V. I could really relate to loli Haruhi in that scene. I used to think in a very similar manner as her. I think I subconsciously make personal decisions based on what's "original" and different from the average joe's even to this day (not to Haruhi's extent of course, but still). Haruhi's words just felt too familiar. Although, I try to refine my individuality everyday and am pretty happy with how things turned out (especially because of anime). Haruhi will definitely be the same, and more. I just know it :) Any way, The alternate dimension, the Espers and "Endless" (Rave fans will understand the reference ^^) were pretty intriguing. If Haruhi truly is the subconscious "creator/alterer" of the universe, that's probably only the tip of the tip of the iceberg. It's frighteningly awesome! Overall a very dialogue heavy episode which pointed out a lot of new and interesting aspects. 5/5 |
 |
| Great episode, up to the last one! |
 |
| What's this confidence made from? Two milligrams will do, just share some with me. Kyon is so funny sometimes lol XD |
| Whow, great episode, one of the best imo. Koizumi is probably my favorite character and he got so much screentime this ep. But at the end of it all(because, yeah, it feels really bad but there's only one episode left) the episode order makes more and more sense. I probably wouldn't like as much this anime if I watched them in the original order. Only one, last, episode remains, what's gonna happen :S |
  |
| Nagato was badass as always~ |
| Yuki!!! Haha she's seriously my favorite character. I find it interesting that she listens to Kyon's (and Haruhi's) orders and needs confirmation. That was cute at the end when she said maybe she'll spend some time with the computer club once in a while :) She's grown too as a character. |
| I'm commenting about the "actual episode 13" and not the arranged order. Didn't expect something like "plot's being crazy" or something. |
 |
| smh taking until episode 13 to explain what closed space is or what espers even do. |

| Half of the episode was repeated .. Poor Nagato. I hope the last ep will conclude nicely. |
| A deja vu. Now I see where this is going and why this is considered to be the most boring part in this show. I hope it'll be worth it in the end. |
 |
| the same thing happened again |
 |
| That cliffhanger dammit |
 |
| Watched Melancholy Part V. The Ergo Proxy vibe is strong with this one, and it's not just the BGM. Really interesting considering both shows originally aired at the same time. Also, while I agree that Suzumiya's animation quality and detail is amazing, especially for the time it was made in, it also makes me appreciate Ergo Proxy even more. Animation wise that show was at least on par with Suzumiya. |

| [Watching in broadcast order] Dang, a lot of information regarding the closed space and espers. Don't forget the relationship between Haruhi and the universe at the same time. I can definitely relate to Haruhi, just how insignificant everything is. |
 |
| I saw the ep where they're trapped in a time loop... It was a pretty cool and trippy experience. Felt a little mind fucked. Good ep. 4/5. |
 |
| Endless Eight -realization of infinite time loop- All I can say is mind fuck and mind blowing. At first, it is a same repetitive event with different camera angle but it did recycled over more than thousands!!! HOLY!!! Mikuru when she cried is moegasm. She is too cute <3 Kissing Haruhi will be the best solution to get out of this loop or maybe going out or dating. This series is worth 10/10 This is worth reading Light novel for the true conclusion to this series. Good job author!! You never fail to surprise me. 5/5 |
 |
| Endless 8 part 2....so they've repeated this over 15000 times, Haruhi maybe you should speak up for once at the end? |
 |
| Cool...I love time-loop stories! |
 |
on 
| Rewind summer antics episode. I hate Haruhi and Kyon and Koizumi. I am sad that they all have to play along with Haruhi's torture for her wishes. And Kyon doesn't try to solve the riddle of the time loop even on the last day. This sucks. Along with the cliche forced romantic plot development. What bothers me the most is that the time traveler noticed this the first time in this loop, even though no matter how many loops she had been, she should have noticed it before. Fuck her classified info. Koizumi wants Kyon and Haruhi to have sex so that Haruhi won't bother with dangling the world anymore. This sucks. Kyon can't even think that the deja vu is weird even after seeing the ridiculous things he seen before. I am relieved next is final episode. I am impatient AF to get over with this series. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| 15,498 times that's crazy lmao. |
| Wow, the episode took a depressing turn when Haruhi explained our insignificance. She might actually be the most relatable person in this series (I mean time travellers, robot aliens, and espers don't count). She doesn't want to be a normal, boring person, and sometimes I think that way too. I'm honestly kinda afraid of Haruhi sometimes. How powerful she is... and how much she doesn't know it. That enclosed space with the divine man... that was really freaky, and more so when Koizumi mentioned that the world could be consumed by that enclosed space if the divine man wasn't stopped. Sometimes this show creeps me out. But I love it. |
 |
| Day of Sagittarius one. Rewatched it, and still one of my favourites. The battle scenes were awesome and hilarious at the same time, especially Mikuru's useless fleet. But what's most awesome is seeing Nagato at her A-game and in her field. She was like a one-woman oiled machine, probably because she kind of is. Loved it! |
|
| god dammit it's another time loop |
 |
| I've known about the absurd broadcast/chronological orders for a while now, but I wasn't aware of how much they fuck up the way this series is viewed. I'm not sure how I should go about updating this series (given I'm technically already on to season two), but the best option is always the laziest. I hope the people back in 2009 enjoyed having to switch discs if they wanted the optimal way to view this series. Quite a good episode overall, though I was surprised by how stupid Kyon was. He's usually pretty good at putting two and two together, which is why it so was strange for him to doubt that time was repeating itself. I'm also confused by how these characters recognised their feelings of deja vu. Koizumi says that Kyon and himself are only capable of experiencing such a thing because 'him and Kyon are the closest to Haruhi', though I can't recall an instance where Koizumi and Haruhi have actually spoken to one another (aside from when he was joining the SOS Brigade). I suppose Koizumi does have some closeness to Haruhi because he fights her destructive emotions, but Haruhi has always taken more of a liking to Asahina. I'm pretty sure the only reason she isn't experiencing similar emotions is because she could catch on to time repeating itself way sooner. I hear that the second season loses its edge in more ways than one, and I suppose my gripes might just be a result of that. I may come out hating the endless eight arc, but I would be glad to have suffered through it with the handful of people who have bothered to comment on the discussion pages. Until this arc concludes, I dub every one to be a realest one, regardless of whether you're watching the chronological order or not. |
 |
| I just watched the episode about the alternate dimension. According to MAL this episode 13 is actually about Itsuki telling Kyon about Haruhi being able to create said dimension. And now people here say this episode is actually about the Endless Eight. WHY. WHAT IS THE ACTUAL ORDER. HELP. (The episode I watched was good though, I really liked it, but it felt like a finale episode without being one according to MAL, that's all the more confusing) |
 |
| So, seeing that this is some alternative version of the last episode I saw, I'm assuming that this must be part of the famous "Endless Eight" that I've been hearing about. Interesting. |
 |
| 15.499th time loop incoming... I do appreciate that there are minor differences between each loop though. Hard to believe there's only one episode left. |
 |
| [Chronological order] Wow, what a twist. |

| I'm so confused. Last discussion, everyone was talking about some music or concert episode but now everyone is on endless eight like I was? LOL I'm more upset about the fact that it's so messed up rather than the fact that it repeats lmao But damn.. poor yuki :( |
