Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

They're both different from chronological order; they follow the books in that respect.

The last person I met who cared about those shows stopped caring after 1 week.

He says: "Watch it in Broadcast order."
I say, "Why not chronological."
: "Cos then it's harder to understand, and the ending feels wierd."
"Ok, so what order is this in?"
"DVD order."

ARRGAHRGH!

Haruhi is deliberately told in a nonlinear fashion, in fact you wouldn't want to watch it in a linear fashion as that would in fact contain spoilers; several episodes set later in the timeline use events that happened earlier in the timeline that the characters know about but the viewers do not (because they havn't seen those events yet) as key plot points and soforth.

Additionally, the ending in the broadcast\book order is actually right near the start of the chronological order.

Basically, Haruhi is confusing. Just watch it.

As for Haruhi, I discovered during reading the light novels that you can't even trust the order of the books.  I mean, The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya (baseball episode), in spite of being a story in the third book, was actually released on its own before The Melancholy was (which is why the characters all get over long introductions in it).

I watched in English dub order, which is basically chronological with Episode 00 put at the start to confuse you.  It made sense, but it meant that the last episode becomes a total anti-climax, with the real climax in the middle of the series.

Yup! Haruhi is a chronological nightmare. It's best to just enjoy it as it comes.

Yeah, the 'ending' is actually the middle. Which is why you don't watch\read Haruhi in chronological order. It ruins everything.

Eh, at least the movie will be in chronological order... probably?  I wouldn't put it past them to shuffle the scenes up.  Then again, since I've read the book, at least I should know what's going on for once.
