Shitty shitty and more shitty. I mean i understand its suppose to be a time loop and everything but it was EXACTLY the same as episode 4 for a while i thought i downloaded episode 3 again by accident. Oh and to all the ppl who are saying "Oh we should just be grateful we got more haruhi!" Screw that crap! I almost think kyoani should right a letter of thanks to every one who actually watches the next episode to show there gratitude to us!

Yeah, the manga is only up to Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. Maybe you mean the light novels.

Well thats good and all but the point of anime is suppose to be entertaining which this is failing at hardcore. I mean think about it if this happened the first season of haruhi suzimiya it wouldnt have been anywhere near as popular as it is now. Instead of people going around saying how good it was they would be going around saying "Hey remember that really crappy show where they aired like 3 almost identical episodes in a row?" "Oh yea i remember that it was called something like The melancholy of something or another ,oh well it was to crappy for me to remember anyway"

i swear to Haruhi (GOD) if i see this episode again one more time and nothing changes...
ima stop watching it and give it a 0/10 for unoriginality...
sheesh watching this 3 times over and over isnt funny except with mikuru's call in the middle of the night, and yuki's different masks

is it just me or are the clothings and stuff like that always different?

I do not understand why so many people complain about the episodes being almost the same. It shows perfectly how Yuki has to feel in that situation. In contrast to others here, I think of this also as very good entertainment. KyoAni will probably resolve this next epiosde or the one after that, I am sort of excited what Haruhi wants to do so badly that she resets time over and over again.

They're barely even doing different camera angles with this episode. The star-gazing scene felt like it was almost copy-pasted with different clothes.

Yes, I cannot. Watching almost the same over and over is an interesting experience I have not had up till now in anime and I am happy about it for the reason I mentioned. This method gives you a glimpse of Nagato's feelings and is entertaining for its unusalness.

I gotta admit I'm not loving a repeat of the same scenes over and over again, but I don't think it's as bad as most people are bitching about. It is ENDLESS eight and it is Kyoani so naturally they would make it be endless.

And I think people should stop complaining that this and that isn't going to be animated. Just because this is a new season, doesn't mean that they're going to put ever single novel that has come out since last season into this one. With the massive popularity that Haruhi has, it's pretty obvious that ever novel is going to end up getting animated. Sure, it may take 10 or 20 years, but it's gonna happen.

This is KyoAni's worse/best troll ever.

****...the last scene before the ED came on, I was hoping, just DIEING for Kyon to just take Haruhi & kiss her or something, but oh my god, Only, ONLY KyoAnimation could get away with this.

I feel VERY sorry for the people in the future who will watch this Anime, you know, like episodes back to back, it will be 1 hour 20mins+ or utter hell lol.

Actually scrap that, I don't feel sorry at all, I CAN'T WAIT LOL

1. They will skim through
2. They won't mind
3. They'll drop

I watched episode 2, 3 and 4 in a row yesterday; I had no problem doing so and I think I enjoyed it far more since I didn't have the "Lol, another week and the same ep again" reaction others did.

I felt exactly the same!!! It was frustrating to see the episode ending, and Kyon not caring to do anything to stop the loop...

In fact, his last words in this episode almost seemed to be some kind of "Take that" to the viewers.

Anyways, I don't want to spoil the things for you, but don't think the Endless Eight will end that way. After reading the light novels, I discovered that the reason behind the loop is something far more meaningless.

Man, they have balls for pulling this off like they do, respect for that.


Exactly, for that, and for pissing off all the fans and explicitly giving them a big "fuck you", I must say that I loved this episode. This series is really one that defies all logic (even proper editing and scriptwriting) and a vey unconventional one, which I like. Oh and there was a great buzz thanks to this episode, since there are more comments and blog posts for this single episode than for any other episode of Haruhi, first or second season. Great marketing skills there. After that, that the fans love it or hate is absolutely without consequence to KyoAni and Kadokawa I guess, and that's a risk worthy of some respect indeed.

The true entertainment of this episode has nothing to do with the episode itself. It's all about watching the reactions to it, and all the NERDRAGE. Kyoani delivers!

Sighhhh. Yet another one.

At least Endless Eight II had some differences from the first one, but this episode was exactly the same as last week's (except for a change in clothes of course).

I'm tired.


Though I never get tired of Itsuki saying 'I love~ you' or Mikuru's 'Kyon-kun~.'

I understand that this has its meaning in the story (since I've read the novels) but this is a bit much. They could of at least shortened the repeat scenes a little more... but overall still very enjoyable.

It was a great episode, I don't even care if none of the dialog changed. The only real thing that surprised me is the huge negative feedback, it wasn't that bad, it was still changed slightly with different clothes each time, and different angles. The whole point to the episode is to show that you've only watched this happen 3 times, and if that's how you feel after 3 times, then you can just imagine now what 15,499 must really feel like.
