Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: Reordering

There's something of note: If you note down what Haruhi announces at the end of the episodes, you get a different watching order. Here it is:

Where Episode x is 'y' => next episode 'y', all y numbers are announced by Haruhi, and x numbers announced by Kyon.

Episode 1 (is '11'?) => '1'
Episode 2 is '1' => '2'
Episode 3 is '2' => '7'
Episode 4 is '7' => '3'
Episode 5 is '3' => '9'
Episode 6 is '9' => '8'
Episode 7 is '8' => '10'
Episode 8 is '10' => '14'
Episode 9 is '14' => '4'
Episode 10 is '4' => '13'
Episode 11 is '13' => '12'
Episode 12 _is_ '12' => '5'
Episode 13 is '5' => '6'
Episode 14 is '6'

So then, episodes should be watched (according to Haruhi, anyhow)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya / Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

The last episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was released today by A.F.K.

This series is going to stick with me for a long time, as something I'd highly recommend to all.

I think I'm going to go back to watch the first episode. And maybe re-watch the entire series.

I think the ending was beautiful. Not graphic/artistically so, but plot-wise. Yes, it left a lot open. But that, I think, makes it really good. And the characters are pretty well fleshed out by the end, which makes it nice too. I don't know, my words don't do it justice.

Interestingly enough, it's only 14 episodes, an unusual number (typically, series run 13, 24, 26, 51 or 52 episodes long...)
