I can't believe the 2nd season of Haruhi is airing and most of eps are still raw.
Look harder, both eps have been subbed. And what do you mean most of eps?

I'm quite sure Endless Eight is going to be 2 episodes long.

I already love the new OP as much as Bouken Desho Desho, if not more. It's so upbeat and energetic. Can't wait for the full song.

Awesome episode, so cute and funny. Seems like they had a lot of fun, lol.

Yuki's up to Episode 11, and since he doesn't have a translator he needs to wait for a.f.k. before he releases 12.

Man, this was a great episode - had me smiling from start to finish, and that doesn't happen very often! Too many good parts to mention. I think my favorite part of the episode was when Yuki chose her alien mask though. That was so cute!

In all honesty, I'm loving Yuki again. I also really like that Suzu and Kyon are getting along a bit better than their usual peon-leader relationship. It's only going to get better, especially with Snow Mountain Syndrome.


I don't see the relationship as peon-leader and, in the reality of the series, I don't think Haruhi does either. She rarely listens to his advice and orders him about quite readily but, as far as I recall, none of the others can or will say "you must not" or "you can not" to her; he does and when he does, she obeys.

I absolutely love this show but...wow...the episode was plain. Any other show it would've been bad but since it's Haruhi it was okay.

...


Evolution of a realization:
1. I realized that not much was happening and I was getting a little ticked off that not much was happening; 2. I realized, after watching it, it was "Endless Eight" and if it plays out like some in the forum predict it's part of a brilliant two-part episode; 3. I realized that if another series had put 20+ minutes so blatantly about nothing, even as part of a larger story, I'd be pretty p.o'd. 4. And then I realized that because it's Suzumiya-san and company I'd watch it even if there wasn't a point.

And then I realized it was time to admit that:

My name is chinaboat and, yes, I am a Haruhist.

Did anyone see Haruhi wearing a T-Shirt with "69" on it. I lol'd:



Overall a great episode but felt like a filler.

It would have been hard to follow an Op up to the previous one, so I think they did a fine job.

They really should have hinted something towards the end. I felt so cut off when it ended. But everyone looked so cute as always. This could have been done in a 1 part episode, but oh well.

The new opening was okay, I like how everyone's running and such. I think I prefer the ED song though, can't wait for more ~

Im not so sure anymore that we'll see the second part of EE. The 2 Remote Island Syndrome episodes were labled as part 1 and 2, endless eight wasn't. Maybe they just took the first part of that arc and made it into a filler. That would be kinda dissapointing.

Where do they all get the energy from? xD

Good episode, I enjoyed it. The OP is not bad, will probably grow on me.

All the different outfits (especially Haruhi's), including the swimsuits, looked great.

Alright episode but felt a bit too much like filler... but I suppose it has to be like this to set up for what's to come. Also this episode had some decent humor here and there. Overall enjoyable since we get to see the S.O.S. Brigade animated once again.

I guess i'm one of the few people who liked the new OP. Not really the song but i liked the OP itself.

Episode was ok. It's been so long since i read the novels that I almost feel noobish.

Hmmm the Endless Eight wasn't Endless...

A classic Sumer-filled Slic of Life episode... I liked it... lots of Fanservice... Haruhi on swimsuit was hot... And Mikuru was hot.... Really liked the episode... and the feel... obviously if I hadn't read that part yet then I wouldn't be waiting for anything else than that.... Neway I really liked how they animated this episode... Liked everything... And the Op was rather wierd but cool... Liked the Hyper J-Pop song.... Really fits HAruhi's antics.... and yeah I'm a Haruhist.... Well more likely a full-fledged otaku kekeke

average episode. Not really that great, was quite dull actually. Spent the entire episode thinking 'where is this going?' (Though talked to someone about it and found out the true meanning of it). Makes sense but still build up is dull :/

I really liked the songs from the first season, but i really do not like the op and ed.

Oh and i don't know how to describe it but to me the feeling i love of the first series is missing in this one. Not sure if anyone else may feel the same way. Well not impressed by this season so far, hope it gets better. I do not expect it to come close to being as good as the first though.

Ok episode but this episode just felt like a whole lotta nothing, the OP was the only thing new in this one, other than that, all they did was have a typical summer vacation in Japan :/

I hope there was a true meaning to this episode like the person above me said or this episode is very forgettable.

Nothing in Haruhi is ordinary, as you will see in time.

Rewatching this episode makes you see how entertaining it actually was, despite the first somewhat-boring-filler-like sentiments some of you have towards it. Give it a shot. The OP grows on you, too.

Tanigawa was actually learning, it seems.
It's for the good of all if he can portray Haruhi acting like a sane person (read: out of character) without insulting the audience.
