Someone explain why this is so great to me?

Saw all of it in Chronological order (instead of Anachronical in which it was aired).

All the same, since I saw it in a two-day timespan I was able to keep it all in my head for both the Anachronical and Chronological impact.

People regard this as popular and awesome from the reactions I saw.

What the hell was so good about this one that I seem to have missed?

Sorry a little slow on watching some of these... just saw this one and gotta say I don't see what all the hype was about it either.

The only title I'd personally give out for it was for the first episode which gets the "Most annoying scratch my eyes and ears out" award for the intro.

Don't get me wrong, it has some cute funny parts to it but it's like watching Seinfeld in that there's no real story behind it, if you go into it knowing you're just watching a series of skits about stupid stuff you might get some mild laughter out of it but definitely don't expect a story or any real content.

Well to be fair, we probably don't fit into the typical anime fan category. So our likes and dislikes are more refined and sensible....

Same here. I'm going to say it just clicks for some people. A friend of mine religiously follows any news about things related to it (and the whole 3-D music video / live performance in Tokyo about that dance).

But yea, just never really hooked me.

Kyon-kun, denwa.

The creators of this one are trolls.

Season 2 started airing a few weeks back.

Shit is... unbearable so far.

In anachronical it's not too bad, the new series is taking the piss though, the manga for this episode (READ; EPISODE, ENDLESS EIGHT WAS MEANT TO BE ONE EPISODE LONG, fs).
And yea, always ignore Ep 00 :P
Personally though I enjoy this series because of Kyon, not much else, Haruhi annoys me, Mikuru annoys me, Koizumi is a cardboard cutout and Asahina's role in the series is laid out by haruhi in the first real ep :P
