i watched the first season of Haruhi in 2007, solely based on the OP, when i was still an anime baby. liked it at the time but definitely wasn't at a point to really appreciate it (this was the same time i watched Naruto, ZnT, Shana) and later figured it just fell into the same category of those "good when you don't know better" shows.

tl;dr i'm incredibly glad for this simulwatch, because i'm ready to experience Haruhi properly and the vague pressure of a schedule helps me not throw things in my backlog

but isn't the fact that the "gimmick" order was what they broadcast means that it was intentionally made that way and the chronological order is a fan-created/necessitated thing?
i mean you don't produce an entire series before air, broadcasts would've been dictated by a very deliberate production process.

The chronological order is cannon. They actually listed it at the end of every episode of the first season, and the second season aired in that order.

ah, okay. didn't know/remember that stuff, thanks.
