Wait, hold on…what is going on here? Episode 00 had the whole cast and they knew each other…Episode 01 had some mindfuck time travel and was about Koyomi’s meeting Yumiko in the past, when she was a pantsu-less badass loli getting chased by some magician…ending kinda in a cliffhanger. But episode 02 is when Koyomi first meets Misa and Kaho…Misa on the magic part and Kaho on the school part…or at least WE get introduced to them.
WHY ARE YOU JUMPING AROUND THE STORY LINE!!!???!
*sigh* Well, it seems the storyline is anachronologically ordered, ie: Suzumiya Haruhi, Hidamari Sketch…so I’m not really mindraep’d anymore. Also, that awesomely freaky puppet show at the end confirmed that’s how the episodes are and that the continuation of ep 01 will air, sometime…
Open Your Mind 
They want to make it a Haruhi but about magic.
Thus they jump around instead of having the right episodes at the right time.
Simple right?
