The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Anime Episode List

An explanation on Episode Ordering:

One thing that’s very unique about the Suzumiya Haruhi anime is that the episodes are not shown in chronological ordering. This means events do not follow continuously from one episode to the next. The episodes skip around a lot over the timeline of the series, meaning the events of one episode may not have occurred yet (chronologically) by the next episode.

For example, episode 1: ‘The Adventures of Asahina Mikuru Episode 00’ is an amateur movie Haruhi and the SOS Brigade shot for the school festival. However, the actual shooting of that movie does not occur until later (it’s not even shown in season one). At the beginning of episode 2: ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya I’, the SOS Brigade hasn’t even been formed yet. The ‘formal’ introductions of most of the main characters are introduced in episode 2, so chronologically it actually should be episode 1.

Confused? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s best to just think of the episodes as one-shot stories which are mostly independent of the episodes before and after it. Why did the director and producers decide to arrange the episodes this way? Who knows? My guess is that it is meant to reflect Haruhi’s ability to manipulate space and time. Something like chronology is irrelevant to someone who can control time.

    can i know the haruhi fans? If the person who read my comment is haruhi fans, please emailing with me at sazwanboy@yahoo.com

  • suzumiyaharuhi28 said:

    hello
    we are the fans of haruhi

  • Xavier Petersen said:

    Wow…. the ordering of this series is all over the map! Still, its pretty epic.

  • Niko Bellic said:

    this is the BEST anime ever made, as opposed to naruto, which is the WORST. if I could give every anime a rating haruhi would get a 10/10 and naruto maybe -5. go haruhi!!!you and your SOS brigade can beat up naruto and his band of stinking fools.

  • Deep Influence said:

    Niko, Naruto will get -10 marks (not shocked if -100)
    Haruhi Suzumiya will get about 15/10. She’s the best, if u ask me.

  • Nickel De Leon said:

    i agree. naruto sucks in the world of anime haruhi is like the top of the pile and naruto is like the bottom.

  • Deep Influence said:

    some times when i finished watching the first season of Haruhi Suzumiya ( which i watched almost 50 times already, and still not bored ) it really takes tear drops….

  • YUKI.N>> said:

    “Oh my god! I feel the HARUHI ism.. There is no other god but Haruhi.. Hehe.. :-) . ”
    ..haruhi suzumiya is my first anime that i liked most.. That is my number one anime ever…

  • El Noobre said:

    Haha, I borrowed the first season from a friend and LOVED it. I totally agree on the naruto thing, ew, but all my friends love it. But hey, Haruhi all the way :D
    In fact I’m looking for the cheapest place to buy all of it, any suggestions??

  • Jeremy clarkson said:

    I would prefer watch it in chronological order which makes sense other two orders

  • Niko Bellic said:

    @YUKI.N>>

    Liking Haruhi is good, but worshiping her is another thing. People who treat Haruhiism as a real religion should get a life. No offense.

  • battlewaitress said:

    On the topic of airing order vs chronological order, I feel that people who are watching the first season for the first time should watch it as it was aired, as it’s not that confusing and the ending makes it totally worth it. If it doesn’t make sense after that then I guess there’s no harm in watching it chronologically.

  • umm.... said:

    this is definitely one of great anime to watch. This is going up with my favorites along with bakemonogatari and valkyria chronicles.( also good anime…to me…)

  • Vincent said:

    Just by saying the “get a life” line gives you a minus in my book,but on the topic,I agree.Anyway,I am very grateful to Suzumiya for giving me a hint at each episode end…

  • lolyman said:

    Hmm, well, as I watch this anime, I disliked it a bit.

    Well, the more sense it makes, the less sense it makes.
    About a plot? Silly. SOS brigade? Aff.
    Girl wanted to change world and it turned out that she is a god?
    I am sorry, it’s just my opinion, but it really looks like a piece of crap. And I’m not a sick-fan of Naruto, by the way.

    And about Haruhiism… Well, people are funny creatures.

  • DreamingDani said:

    By far the best anime I have ever watched, and I watch an insane amount of anime. I didn’t watch it because it was popular either, I’m not trying to fit in with the crowd. The strange, twisted order and outrageous plot events are what makes it unique. You can’t find another one like it.

  • haruhist said:

    haruhi like my god

  • Deep influence said:

    If Haruhi is really god, the world will end once high school ends.

  • HeeroAKoumari said:

    i’ve gotta say; i’ve grown a liking to this show. i first came across it when i was lookin at amvs on youtube. this has become my favorite anime overall. haruhi fans email me at wartrio.productions@yahoo.com

  • jtdfger2 said:

    Now i have to re-watch the series in that order. maybe now it well make more sense to me.

  • One Piece said:

    woot, thanks for the ep list, i enjoyed watching them. ^^

  • haruhisuzumiya said:

    oPENNINGS ^_^

  • Skelly said:

    Could you mix in season 2 to the out-of-order order of season 1, and watch them before episodes 13 and 14 without ruining anything?

  • Haruka-sama said:

    hehe, Lucky star, and Ojamajo doremi were my first Anime’s, and after them i watch The melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, and i love it so much!!!!! Its definetly my favorite anime ever!!!(watched it probably i bajillion times,& read the light novels and Manga..)!! i still like other animes but none have replaced Haruhi as my favorite :D (Although Lucky Star, Elfen Lied, and Higurashi no naku koro ni almost did )

  • Chibi Kyon-kun said:

    I really hope there will be a season three soon

  • YUKI.N>> said:

    See your back. If you did it-this is the real-life.

  • stefanfun3 said:

    but why didn’t they order it right i mean why did they first send
    Episode 01. Mikuru Asahina’s Adventures Episode 00
    and not
    Episode 02. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya I
    ??

  • Talix said:

    Why is “The Boredom of Suzumiya Haruhi” before “The Sigh of Suzumiya Haruhi”? In the Light Novels, “Boredom” is volume 3 and “Sigh” is volume 2…

    It also seems (if I remember right, watched it waaaay back) that chronologically “Boredom” IS after “Sigh”.

  • White Rabit.obj>> said:

    Excellent anime all around with good art work and spot on voice actors. And like the the light novels the chronology is non-linear. This anime is approved!

    And yeah, can’t say that comparing the Haruhi Suzumiya and Naruto anime/manga is very fair. It’s like comparing fresh apples (HS) to rotten oranges (Naruto).

  • endimon 255 said:

    Best of all has to be yuki. she has powers she is smart and not even made on earth. Who doen’t love ailiens?

  • Syazie said:

    i agree with u endimon!!

  • inez said:

    lol i absolutely LOVE naruto although for some reason the i dont mind people calling it the worst anime ever. but now that ive seen tons of more animes, im proud to say that the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya will always be my favorite.
    poor naruto, he always says “believe it!” but it will probably never happen
    but if haruhi believes something it is guaranteed to come true XD

  • 3p_padmg_animaxers said:

    Episode 2&3 is such a repeat,huh? ;-(

  • BESTANIMEEVA said:

    Man I gotta say each night I went on YouTube and watched 5 episode’s and today was the last, it was the only thing I had to do, there was only 29 episode’s but I loved them all. I also watched the movie they both were great I hope ALOT that the company will make a Season 3 because it is my favorite anime now. I loved it a hell lot my number 1 anime. Screw Naruto! Why did all the other crappy anime’s get like 12 seasons or something and TMHS didn’t!?!?!?! SCREW THE OTHER ANIME’S I WANT SEASON 3 NOW! I’m begging my ass off for a season 3…… DAMN IT’S JUST SO EPIC!!!!

  • breggy said:

    im a fan of haruhi suzumiya

  • samsara said:

    Will there be a season 3… agreed best anime… hell even tv show ever!

  • JustPassingBy said:

    Wow! you guys really said that naruto sucks and haruhi rules? well this website is where haruhi is considered as god though, but if you watched naruto from the beginning and still watching it right now? you’ll see that naruto is more emotional than TMHS, and i cant understand the ending of season 2…i know they can make a better ending than that…..(and an answer will instantly pop on your head saying “i know there will be a season 3! and youll be sorry for what you just said and it will show you how good TMHS is! and when it ends youll be begging for more”) yes i can see that. but ive already watched so many anime and they will finish season 1 with a satisfying end, and that will motivate me to wait for the next season! ok going back to the “naruto and haruhi issue”, i just felt bad when you said that naruto is the lowest and haruhi rules…its like having the latest IPAD today and cosider it rubbish when the new generation comes, yes it sucks! you paid good money for that yet the awesomeness expires. (and another answer pop out of your head saying “you love you precois naruto then why dont you vist the naruto fansite and consider haruhi as the lowest. im sure there will be someone like you who will oppose on what you just said, its because your in the fansite of haruhi thats why”) wow then thats it? you just love haruhi and youll never consider the hard work of the other authors, doing their best just to entertain you guys? if you loved something can you please stick to that? cause if you make comments on other anime saying their the lowest, just because you loved that anime, other people will really feel bad about it….and BTW the reason i checked this website, because the ending is totally weird! they had their new heater and everybody left and the two of them were left, and they head home and then that? ow come on! what about the future? when will there be an episode that will make me cry? will they make season 3? they should make a good…no! the best ending of TMHS, and tis comment is over..

  • apc said:

    i think the real ending is the movie.

  • beamass said:

    i think naruto not soo bad perhaps better than haruhi but love the movie

  • goto50007 said:

    Who would stop this great show? If you ask me we need 5 or more seasons. This is the same junk they pulled on flcl

  • dylanthefox said:

    i cried at the end, why would they end something so great, i ignored the endless 8, so why cant the producers… i know it seems logical that after 4+ years they cant continue it, but with haruhi, who needs logic!!! i just cant figure out if #spoiler@=> haruhi likes kyon, i know the ponytail may say so but i wanna know for sure, instead of geusing like in elfen lied, who was at the door? i dont know, will i ever know, probaly not and now ill die an incomplete live because i dont know (just kidding, but its a pretty big deal)same with the melancholy, its sucks that 2-bit animes like the crap compared to T.M. of H.S. inuyasha and naruto, not saying that they are actually crap dont get me wrong, i like both, i just feel cheated that haruhi isnt still on air.

  • ChiefHaruhi012 said:

    best of the BESTEST anime eveeeeeeer !!! Because of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime .. iam now an ANIME LOVERRR !!! Go HARUHI !! hope there’s season 3 of it !!

  • Sketchy said:

    Naruto. . -100? What are you somkin’ Narutos fucking bomb, and so is Haruhi. . no need to hate.

  • zerlight said:

    anyone know where i can DL season 1 and 2 sub?

  • ATNTA said:

    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the most F*cking anime that ever made the whole story doen’t make any sense haruhi is god !!!! what the fuck ???

  • narutofanboy677 said:

    naruto is da best in da world haruhi sucks like shit naruto is da beast of anime anyone who replies to me will get their email hacked

  • narutofanboy677 said:

    naruto is da fucking best

  • Lillith Mustang said:

    Well lets see The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is good and very funny but i see no reason to compare it to Naruto i absolutely love Naruto. By watching ever single episode i don’t get why you would compare the two. They don’t even relate AT ALL. So before you compare anime make sure in some way they are alike. what else you’ll look like a total douche.

  • Newotaku said:

    Season 1 of TMoHS was one of the best things I’ve ever seen, but I think Season 2 went a little overboard with Endless Eight. It was great how they could give each version a different atmosphere, sometimes light-hearted and fun, sometimes intensely sinister, but I think they could have easily had the same effect with 2-4 episodes, rather than 8, which I think only wasted the time of everyone involved. It seemed to just be a way to fill out the season; if you think about it, they only managed to do 3 stories in an entire 13 episode season. Though I guess they couldn’t really adapt any of the other light novels without animating Disappearance first…

  • KamiSama said:

    1st of all, i really like this anime…but in season 2 it is so f*cking-retarded-idea..they don’t know how to plot the story so they just replay and over do the same episode…so boring..thankfully the movie TMHS-The Dissappearance cured my wounded..so nice that the story got more better than before..hopefully they’re making more suspense for incoming movie..

  • looloo said:

    season 2 is soooooo bad but season 1 rocks like helll!!!!!

    ps dont compare this narutob because naruto is soooo good

  • mr. kool said:

    it’s an amazing anime! never thought that this anime exists! that it has it’s episodes messed up! hahaha ..

  • Ane said:

    you should watch it the way it was aired, there was a reason why someone actaully MADE IT LIKE THAT… that’s what i think.

  • Ane said:

    AT KAMISAMA ~
    Actually, a really good idea is to only watch the second season since the WHOLE FIRST season is already placed in it.
    You shouldn’t judge so fast, nyaah >.<

  • Kat said:

    i WUV this anime!!!!!!!
    i also hate naruto ಠnಠ
    its really sad that the only mangas Kroger sells is naruto and bleach…..

  • ~~ said:

    The only bad part about this anime is that they only made 2 seasons and a movie.
    Much better than any other series i’ve seen and ten-thousand times better than Naruto, hands down.

  • R34_Rocks said:

    Iya neh gan…..Naruto itu cuma sampah alias POS(Piece Of Shit)

  • Desmond Miles said:

  • Shiz said:

    The Naruto series is full of crap. I dunno why people like watching it, when all the characters do in the story is fight. The comedic scenes are just added to make it worth one’s time. Basically, the story’s nonsense.

  • Person said:

    CALM DOWN, you guys. Yes, I am obsessed with Haruhi Suzumiya and it is my fave, and no, i do not like Naruto. But can we all stop being haters and being mean about the whole Naruto vs MHSM thing? People get way too angry about this. Just agree to disagree and respect other peoples opinions. Also, to the haters: just curious, if you hate haruhi suzumiya, then why are you on the fan site? Whatever, but i think everyone should stop hatin’ on other peoples opinions and just, well, shut up.

    BTW, has anyone else read the light novels? I feel like i’m the only one. (Currently reading The Wavering of Haruhi Suzumiya)

    Now please, Stop! Hatin’ is bad.

    And, yes, i just quoted the bloody black eyed peas.
