What's the proper viewing order of Hidamari Sketch series?


There are lots of series out there called "Hidamari Sketch" -something and I'm
not sure in which order to watch them. Can you help me out with that?




You might as well watch them in production/publishing order:

  1. Hidamari Sketch
  2. Hidamari Sketch (special)
  3. Hidamari Sketch × 365 (TV) 
  4. Hidamari Sketch × 365 (special)
  5. Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu (TV) 
  6. Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu (special) 
  7. Hidamari Sketch × SP (special) 
  8. Hidamari Sketch × Honeycomb (TV) (sequel)
  9. Hidamari Sketch: Sae/Hiro Sotsugyō-hen (OAV)

(listing from [ANN's
page](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6811).
Everything except the last OAV is [on
Hulu](http://www.hulu.com/search?q=Hidamari+Sketch) \- the specials are part
of the previous main season)

The problem is that _episodes_ aren't completely in chronological order.
There're two groups:

  * Hidamari Sketch + Hidamari Sketch × 365 (Yuno & Miyako year 1)
  * × Hoshimittsu + × SP + × Honeycomb + Sae/Hiro Sotsugyō-hen (Yuno & Miyako year 2)

Episodes in the first groups are less ordered. Episodes in the second group
are more in order, but also have some episodes that chronologically take place
during the first group.
