To understand why this is so undeniably hilarious, you really have to have at least a passing familularity with the rest of the series...watch it again afterwards.
This was so immensely stupid I nearly fell out of my seat laughing. Reminded me of Giant shark vs Mega Octopus which was filmed with Movie Maker using bathtub toys and magic marker effects >_<. I normally don't like this type of episode
skip to episode 2 - the REAL pilot episode. they list this as episode 1 but it isn't, it's really just some stupid special, extra, "never before seen" episode that right now, would mean nothing to ya. ; )
i'm pretty sure that this fighting scene is about protecting that boy that she likes... ( i think) by the way.... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CLUE ME IN ON WHAT'S HAPPINGING I DON'T GET IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!
if your looking for something that makes sense out of the apparent disarray of the episodes go to wikipedia and search for List of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episodes they have a sortable table that can order them 3 different ways
All of the episodes are not in chronological order, but order of broadcast. Don't quit on the series, just start at the next episode so this one makes sense later on
Ah, this episode brings back memories. This series was new once, but I never got around to watching more than a couple episodes. Looks like it's time to fix that.
This is the greatest troll first episode ever.
Like some other people said, chronologically this belongs at the end. Skip past all of the Haruhi-chan ones to get to the second season.
