best option is to watch it the 2009 airing order

>>34810118
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...no

You don't need to watch every episode in the endless eight. I did and it didn't worth it.

Watch it in original aired order please

>>34810098

If you're gonna watch EE, for god's sake, only watch the 1st and 8th episode

>>34810194
This is important. You must watch the 1st season in the original aired order, It adds to the magic of Haruhi.

>Haruhi
>it's a necessity around here and for the anime fandom in general.

Watch it original aired order, then chrono. 1st episode in season 1 you don't really need to see.

The plot order for 2009 is as follows.
Extra space has been placed in between
switches from 2006 to 2009 and vice versa:

1. 2006 - Episode 2
2. 2006 - Episode 3
3. 2006 - Episode 5
4. 2006 - Episode 10
5. 2006 - Episode 13
6. 2006 - Episode 14
7. 2006 - Episode 4

8. 2009 = Episode 1

9. 2006 - Episode 7
10. 2006 - Episode 6
11. 2006 - Episode 8

12. 2009 = Episode 2
13. 2009 = Episode 3
14. 2009 = Episode 4
15. 2009 = Episode 5
16. 2009 = Episode 6
17. 2009 = Episode 7
18. 2009 = Episode 8
19. 2009 = Episode 9
20. 2009 = Episode 10
21. 2009 = Episode 12
22. 2009 = Episode 12
23. 2009 = Episode 13
24. 2009 = Episode 14

25. 2006 - Episode 1
26. 2006 - Episode 12
27. 2006 - Episode 11
28. 2006 - Episode 9

The movie then follows.

>>34810342
Yeah follow the 2006 version

the only reason it's chrono in 2009 is because they decided to combine the 1st season with the 2nd, that's kind of why you see things like episode 15 is episode 1 of s2 ep 21 is ep 6 in s2. It gets confusing.

watch in broadcast order, simple as that
and yes you have to watch all EE episodes, what is wrong with you?

op here. awesome, thanks /a/

You can choose not to watch all of Endless Eight. It doesn't make you a casual, but rather a child with no attention span. I assume you also are unfamiliar with reading novels, yes?

>>34810688
i don't want to watch all of the Endless Eight because I heard that it is the same episode eight times. If that's true, then my amount of attention span has nothing to do with it.

>>34810778

It's 8 eps of the same thing with something slightly different in them. I enjoyed it. Picking up little details is what made Haruhi great.

>>34810870
the real gold is when you watch EE a 2nd time

Just watch the first, second, and last Endless Eight, the rest are pointless (unless you enjoy seeing the same scenes over and over with difference colors and angles).

>>34810778
Nope.

>>34810918
that's what i figured

let me put it this way. If you don't watch EE then you are a casual fag. The minor details are what makes something special. EE is a great example and so is the 1st season of Haruhi after you watch it in aired order then in chrono then your mind gets blown.

Endless Eight is a work of art. Haruhi Season One had a lot of subtleties to admire and Endless Eight is no different.

>Endless Eight is a work of art

I laughed out loud.

>>34811798
I agree with this guy.

the only endless eight you need to watch for storyline is the first one and the last one, if you want to watch more you might get something out of it

1. For the best experience of the first season, watch in the order it aired.
2. That however is not entirely compatible with the second season, which is mostly endless eight.
3. Endless Eight is mostly unnecessary. You would do just fine to watch only the last episode of it. It should be noted that the fifth episode of it was the best of the repetitive ones for multiple reasons. Common options are:
a. Watch E8 1, 2, 5, 8
b. Watch E8 1, 5, 8
c. Watch E8 5, 8
d. Watch E8 8
e. Skip E8, nothing in it is extremely important
f. Watch the whole thing, be able to brag about your endurance.

There should be a Mazui batch of both the seasons in the season 1+2 mixed airing order, which is fully chronological according to the novels.

A work of art in the art of trolling. But at least it looked pretty!

>>34812128
actually, since this is summer we are talking about, I think choosing f is almost sane. Last summer I stopped following it on the third ep and marathoned it afterwards. And, well, when it is summer, you almost feel ok watching 3 hours the same fucking thing.
