I am so sorry about the whole Endless Eight situation you're all going through. Even I 'm not a fan of Haruhi I can understand how frustrating this is.

I don't care if this repetition is supposed to be "symbolic". Wasting more than half a season with it is ridiculous.

I think the ones who are "suffering" are mostly the ones who read the light novels, and were expecting the anime to follow them like scripture. Fans of the anime alone (like me) tend to view Endless Eight in a less negative way, some of us even in a positive way. One thing the the anime is doing really well with E8 is following that often ignored rule of "show, don't tell." It's far more effective to demonstrate the repetition by repeating many times, rather than just repeating once or twice and leaving it at that. It creates a more engaging, authentic experience at the expense of the fans who want the story to progress or just don't have all that good an attention span.

I can't imagine their sponsors are happy about the situation. Like I said before, I don't mind so much (though after 6 episodes of it, it's starting to grind on my nerves a bit), but I doubt their sponsors will be so forgiving. I don't know whose decision it was to make eight episodes of the same thing, but my guess is that they won't have a job for much longer.
VNs are superior to anime, don't @ me

I can appreciate what they're doing from a symbolic and artistic sense but... ugh it's started to really bug me. :( I LOVED the animation and art direction in episode 7 and thought it was a step above the others but even so I just couldn't give it my full attention. Repetition is good in small doses but they aren't changing the script up enough to make me feel like watching it. I feel really bad about it but I just can't pay attention now. I really hope they do stop at 8.

Is there any place I can find all these episodes at? Only recently came across this thread and need to get caught up fast!


I jitter back and forth to these forums. Hopefully this time i'll stick around :). Looking for friends, people from the UK and anyone and everyone to talk to. Hit me up if any of these is you.

I think more than anything it's trying to portray Yuki's loneliness, or lack of; Depends on what you make of S01E14 where on the console to Kyon she writes "Perhaps another visit to the Library?"

In the Endless Eight episodes Kyon repeatedly goes after Yuki, proceeding to ask her if she's alright in a sort of nervous schoolboy crush way.
This has lead me to feel that some of the remnants of the reset memories are ones that remind him that Yuki has been alone for the past 500 odd years and he feels bad about that, checking up on her.

This is all probably more wishful thinking than anything however, I'd die for a Kyon x Yuki pairing. xD

I did some digging around:

Endless Eight ends this week. (Or, as I'm typing this, today.)

Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody DVD(limited edition) is scheduled for release on 8/28, and there are going to be new character song CDs (only for the five SOS members, apparently).

Hopefully there'll be character songs for the heroines' alternate personae (i.e. loli Haruhi, Asahina Mikuru(large), and disappearance Yuki), but i dunno

Just read this on MAL.
I'll be glad to see it end, even if I did like the arc. :P
I want new episodes. :/

Saw the news last night and I skipped to the end. Was an okay-ish ending, Kyon did sound rather odd I thought though. Haruhi's expression was win. "Huh?"

Finally we'll get something else to watch now. :3

The way Haruhi yells at Kyon in a public restaurant and poking him to a wall, and how she grabs his collar is highly entertaining.

Actually I really enjoyed the arc. It may have dragged on, but the different variations made me love it, made me laugh, and mostly, the whole thing made me feel that Yuki may have gone one step further to become "human" because she could feel "bored". And I felt sorry for her in one point.

Now, what would the new episodes be this time? And what would the character songs be about?
...I'm ready to put the songs into my phone if I like them.

I just watched the ending. It was absolutely PERFECT, especially the ingenious last frame. A royal flush for that one time in 15,532.

Before Endless Eight, I thought that MoHS was okay, but not too great. I now think that MoHS is absolute gold. Endless Eight is an experience that had never been done before and can never be done again with the same impact. I loved it, and I think I might miss it now that it's gone.

The current director for Haruhi, Tatsuya Ishihara, "joked?" about a possible Haruhi movie to be of another set of Endless Eight.
“There are a lot of episodes from the novels which have not been animated. We’d love to hear which of those you would like to make into a movie.”

Ishihara: “Endless Eight… :-) Can’t we do that again, adding some new extras, try some film tricks out? Or is it too much? :-)”
Please no. XD

I'm hoping the last 5 new episodes will be the Disappearance (and we'll be left with a cliffhanger), so perhaps it's Mikuru's movie this week.

I'd say the ending was perfect. :D Don't know how, but it finally ENDS the frustration of the anti-E8 people, and it kinda... disappoints me. Because I really enjoyed it. Both at the episodes and how the fans raged. :D

However that doesn't stop me from expecting new episodes. THEY GOT 5 EPISODES LEFT TO USE, MAI DEARIES.

whoo it's over. Though now that it is, I'm gonna miss it. :( That was the ballsiest thing ever done in anime, I think, and only this series could've gotten away with it. Kudos to KyoAni.

But I am interested to see what'll happen next.

Man kyon really pulled a moment of awesome with that speech..

...haruhi then poking him repetedly after was pretty funny as well
Akina says this to everyone who was complaining about Endless Eight...

"....you think YOU had it bad? KyoAni had to reanimate everything eight times, and the cast had to go through all of it over 15,000 times, so we were lucky..."

Yeah, he should act like that more, no Michael?

And Haruhi needs to realize that he's only doing for her. XP
