| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- OMG i so LOL at Shamisen!!

| fantastic episode and if this was the last episode of this "new Haruhi" then it was a very enjoyable one. I definitely enjoyed Sighs. Now on to Disappearance, there are no excuses now. |
| Since this is the end of the Sighs arc, that means 4 more episodes till Disappearance! (Episode 00, Live A Live, Day of Sagittarius, Someday in The Rain). That is, if this wasn't the last episode of season 2. Anyways, we'll just have to wait 4 weeks to find out. |
| http://anime.webnt.jp/program/index.php?pg_page=tv_detail&detail=2767 I've never seen an official future episode listing but it seems that the Newtype site does show TMoHS (2009) ending at 28 episodes. Well, it doesn't say it's the last but it's very likely that episode 28 will be Someday in the Rain and the final episode listed under the 'TMoHS' title. |

Not a day sooner. |
 |
| If that's the case, we can expect a new season of Haruhi Suzumiya which will start off with Disappearance and more new episodes from that point on. |
| so it ended? |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
ariapokoteng said: Yup. Great, wasn't it? (sarcasm)so it ended? |
 |
| I wouldn't mind if it ended as long as a new season starts. This so called 'season' wasn't that great. It's not really a season anyways, it was just a re-airing of season 1 with new episodes which should have been aired when season 1 was originally aired. I don't know why they left out a few episodes and mixed the episodes in a random order. If anybody knows, please explain. o3o |
| Movie ended... Koizumi is not trustable? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I think the creators either A.) didn't quite realize how popular the show was going to become and only chose a few to animate or B.) purposely planned it to be unique and follow the tradition of the light novel's non-chronological order. Either way, I'm glad they switched it. I'm not totally sure I believe that this season will be more than 28 episodes. I feel like if we get more Haruhi soon, it'll be on December 18 as a surprise 3rd season or as the movie we heard rumors about (which I think would be really cool.) But I do think the Disappearance will be shown soon, it just has to be from all the advertising for it. |
All the newly created episodes of the current broadcast of Haruhi have been exhausted with the latest episode, leaving only further repeats. Newtype has already published official schedules indicating the remaining four episodes are repeats from the original series, so unless the final episode is modified in some way (or replaced entirely), a prospect which Haruhi-ists will doubtless cling to until the bitter end, the “Disappearance” arc initially promised for the new series has entirely disappeared. There is some speculation that continuations may come by way of a new PSP game or the entirely hypothetical Haruhi movie, but otherwise it seems the franchise will be dead for another three years, if indeed it ever revives… Link: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/09/11/haruhi-new-season-ends-disappearance-disappears/ I think Kyoani did Endless Eight for 8 episodes on purpose -_- They could have finished Endless Eight with maybe 3 episodes and do Disappearance with 5 episodes after Someday In The Rain. Instead they saved themselves the trouble. So we get 14 new episodes of Haruhi Suzumiya, 8 of them were the same things over and over. Bamboo Rhapsody was great, I felt it was done quickly but it was good for a new episode of Haruhi. The first episode of Endless Eight was alright, then the second one was decent and after that it repeats until the 8th episode. Sighs was a good arc, it stayed true to the novel. That toke 5 episodes and I can see why, the novel was long! Endless Eight was just a short chapter. -Waits for a new season- |
omimon said: See you guys in another three years. You mean another twenty years, right? Seriously, with all the trolling Kadokawa and KyoAni have done, i'd be surprised if we only had to wait three years. |
| If there ever was a movie, I'd rather see the whole Winter trip as a movie, it just had that movie vibe when I read it, more than disappearance, who could need an OVA release or be part of the TV series. Anyway, disappearance will probably not be aired with this season, unless, just like for endless eight, they're playing with words and acted as if the arc "disappeared" from the schedule. That'd be pushing it a bit much though. |
 Do you like mushrooms? |
| Disappearance felt like it should be a movie to me. It's good enough to even have it's own MAL page. The Snow Mountain Syndrome chapter is good too, it's pretty long and there was drama and it gives you the ominous vibe, like you don't know what could happen at any moment. It felt creepy to me when I read it at night. But it was just a chapter, if it was even longer it could be long enough to make into a movie while Disappearance was a whole novel. |
| Shamisen = Super Cool! XD |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| a very nice episode, must say i've really enjoyed the past few in particular. i hope this isn't the end. what with EE and all, i was hoping to have a lot more. still, the presentation of the arc was well-done, and i'd be alight with it if this were the last episode, very good. |

| Oddly enough, this last episode had a few scenes with the original animation, which I loved. The cat wins the episode for me. But anyway good episode, the arc ended as it should, and once more Kyo/Ani KADOKAWA trolls the diarreha out of us; The Disappearance arc initially promised for the new series has entirely disappeared. Yet i'm quietly satisfied that they won't include it with this extremely shity animation since, so far, its the most epic book of the novels, and to watch it animated this way is just ridiculous. 4/10 for me, The Sighs were fairly entertaining but doesn't make up for the piece of crap named Endless Eight. |
| I've been really looking forward to Shamisen and I wasn't disappointed. So it looks like the last episode was as good as the first, saves the series from an overall 1 after all. It was weird though how this episode started as suddenly as the last one ended... as if they had this episode as a double-feature and had to cut in in half right in the middle of a dialogue. :/ |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode, favorite parts being Shamisen and the hydrocannon handguns. And now we wait for the real Season 2. |
| Ha-cha! |
| I loved this episode... Im surprised that noone mentioned the somehwat "dark atmosphere" of this episode. Koizumi saying all this about killing, massacres etc. I see potential for a future conflict between him and Asahina... :o Dunno. Kyon was again epic this ep. I totally love his reactions every time lol. Like with the cat(Cats voice was awesome :D )or in the end trying to say the truth to Haruhi. Oh well... Im kinda surprised i love this show so much. First time i watched first season with the airing order i thought it sucked hard. I rewatched it few days ago and ended up giving it a 9 :) Anyways i hope for more Haruhi in the furure^^ |
 |
| I don't remember the last scene being in the book. |
| -Fixing- |
| the last scene was very funny :) It was very cute when Haruhi looked back but then quickly looked away and Kyon smiled :3 |

| This episode was awesome , especially the ending i love it and i want more MMOARR! |

| That was good episode. Even better than the already nice last one. I like that semi-dark atmosphere in my Haruhi-show. Shamisen was great and those high pressure guns were quite fun. Those two guys from the other dimension were nice, too, though I didn't know that reference. Anyone else who got the reference in the beginning, where Haruhi walked away humming "Walkürenritt" by Wagner? The dialogues between the protagonists were interesting too and like last episode throws a different light on the whole show. Makes you crave for more. Anyway, if this is all from this episode rating this is quite troublesome. Endless eight was a crazy and controversal idea yet somehow really boring. I could tolerate this but several other episode where kind of boring, too. The first and the two recent episodes were great, though. I tend to go for a 7, but I am not really sure. |
   |
| Good final episode, and the best of the arc. Probably the best of the season too, with a nice direction and some plot developments (not that Haruhi has a lot of developments, it's extremely slow and by no mean a straightforward series). Finally, after all has been said and done, and as expected, the most interesting and entertaining part of this second season was the Endless Eight arc, that I was eagerly expecting each week. The rest was too normal and conventional to be featured in a series such as this one. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| season 5/10 |
 |
| Shamisen's voice was sex |
  |
| felt like a last ep and it really is the last one? this sure was a good ep and that they start to doubt each other makes me really curious. that end was simply totally awesome. if its really the last ep i am still satisfied with it. |
     |
| awesome episode. shame it was the last one. i already forgot about the endless8 XD looking forward to a new season. |
 |
Davison said: i lmao @ what Haruhi and Kyon were talking abouthahaha final part xD haruhi and kyon at the end..XD |
 |
| Well,the season 2 has ended(probably) but on mal it didn't end yet.Probably the admins are waiting for something... |
"If people want to achieve time travel,they should just put Haruhi on a spaceship.She'd probably just ignore the theory of relativity." - Kyon |
| Well that was the last 'new' episode for the 2009 re-airing. Now it has to air the rest of the old episodes that was from season 1. There's just 4 left and after that who knows. It's probably over though since we were suppose to get 28 episodes this season, that included the re-airing of season 1 and 14 new episodes. We probably can't expect Disappearance until another season, maybe in Winter/December or something. Since that's when it toke place, along with episodes after that. |
| this anime is so.. bleh its just bleh lol. iono even how to describe it. it just leaves me saying "wtf was that".. |
    |
| Wait, so that's it for season 2? No Disappearance? Sigh. All the conflict between Mikuru and Koizumi was interesting, but still x___x' |
