I went 'as aired on tv' because as others have said, you can pick up stuff Kyoani put in the 'later earlier' episodes and point 'em out.

One example I can give is at the end of 'Yuutsu VI' (14/6) there is a scene where the camera is panning through the school courtyard and you can see two girls (one with a guitar) sitting under a tree. With episode 12/12 airing first, you can immediately point out that they are two members of the band that Haruhi helped during the school festival. If they aired the episodes chronologically, would anyone have made that connection?

As for seeing "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina" first, I 'got' that this was a bad student film, and at the same time it was lampooning various anime genres. The brilliance of this episode is shown later when everyone is introduced and the plot is uncovered.
