First off, figuring out the order in which these episodes should be watched was probably the hardest task for any Anime I've seen, find a chronological list and just stick with it even if things seem off. And that's even after watching things like Steins;Gate which is literally has a different and confusing time travel paradox every other episode.

Kyoto Animation did an excellent job with this one as the animation, sounds, and visual themes all work perfectly to contrast the completely inane occurrences of this show, and I mean inane in the best way. While the story can feel incoherent at times, it really has a remarkably well woven thread throughout the entire show and the character's get fleshed out along the way. Enjoy the crazy ride with this one.

My recommendation for the **truly** endless eight, watch the sixth one and the last one. Do NOT condemn yourself to watching them all, you will only make yourself miserable or bored of the show unless you do what I did, which is essentially to leave it on as background noise while completely ignoring it.

Then after Season 2 go straight for the movie, Disappearance of Haruhi Suzimiya. It's truly a fitting conclusion for the series and was a nice that had all the niceties of the show wrapped up in one package.

Normally I like to rate individual seasons of a show rather than rating the whole show. However Trakt does not have season 2.

I already have my review of season 1 where season 1 is listed, but in short Season 1 is an 8/10 & has weird humor that I enjoyed.

Season 2 had the same weird humor I enjoyed. For the most part if you enjoyed season 1 you will like half of season 2. There is an infamous part of season 2 called endless 8. I won't go into detail as to not spoil anything. All you have to know about it is that you should watch endless 8 part 1, 2, and the last one. Any more and it is painful. You will know what I mean when you get there.

For Season 2 I'd give it a 6/10. Endless 8 lasted too long and was painful to watch. The other episodes made up enough for it that I didn't give it a worse score.

Since I am doing the whole review the score for the show as it is with 2 seasons. 7/10. Season 1 was good, season 2 had a lot of good stuff, screw endless 8 :sweat_smile:.

Bonus thoughts on the show:
Endless 8. I know I mentioned I really dislike it, but I think the concept is good. I think if it was 3 episodes it would have been perfect. Also the way endless 8 ended was really, really, ... really dumb! You will see what I mean. :sweat_smile:
