I didn't find this episode to be very interesting, what with the repeated scenes and all. Hopefully, the plot will progress in the next one.

I've liked her and then tolerated her up till now... but I can No Longer stand Mikuru's crying voice DX that TONE she uses when she's in minor peril and starts wailing. It's goddamn annoying! And it makes me wanna smack her. Sigh. And I used to like her too.

Poor Yuki. No wonder she is so introverted sometimes. Imagine sitting in her apartment for 3 years in standby mode and repeating summer vacation 15498 times.
If I were her, I'll bang my head against the wall and hope for death.

Oh my fricking god. Fuck y'all. Can't find the episode yet. And AFK take ages.

Try Mazui, dude, they're pretty decent.

Also, HOW DARE THEY SPLIT MY BELOVED 'ENDLESS EIGHT' INTO 3 EPISODES?! I find this chapter one of the best ever, yet the adaptation was nothing but SHIT >_<.


3 Episodes of Endless Eight? Its 8 EE Episodes! Endless Eight split in 3 Episodes its not good and not more so original as the 8 Episodes they followed with the Rest of the Season 2 the Season 1 and is the clue about from S1 and the Movie Shoushitsu no Haruhi Suzumiya. While the viever might not understanding the plot when not seen the Episodes bevor the movie.
and yessss.. it its beautiful and great series. its high quality thing from Kyoto Animation.

After hearing only bad things about Endless Eight I am surprised. The changes are not as subtle as I expected them to be. It really felt like a new epsiode. I thought they would just show the same episode with exactly the same dialogue and art over and over again.

I like the end of the episode.
Why did I never try that in school?
"I didn't do my homework because I believed myself to be trapped in yesterday so I went to bed thinking today would be yesterday again and then all of a sudden I broke free and time started to flow normally again."

Someone said that each episode of this season was the same so when I checked the list of episodes and saw that it was indeed repeating I was afraid it would be as I had been told. However, this episode, while mainly following the plot of the last, was quite different so it didn't get boring. Well, since there is still 6 episodes to go I wonder how this will continue...

I gotta say that this episode was a LOT better than I thought it was going to be! I was expecting this episode to be exactly like the last one (like, same animation and everything), but the scenes were really changed up a lot. And the last scene where Suzumiya was walking away was super exciting. It felt like a completely different episode for me.

And hey, did anyone else think that Koizumi had a lot of cool shots in this episode? I thought so. I said to myself "Holy frick, Koizumi looks so cool right now" like, three times, haha.

But now I'm worried that this episode might be exactly like the NEXT episode. And maybe the next one. And the next.. Hmm.. Just gotta keep going and see!

It was a good episode, but personally I thought it was a little *too* similar to the last one. It still had some great character moments and the whole Endless Eight senario is still pretty interesting, but personally I felt like it was a little too much like a repeat with different camera angles. There weren't enough differences to justify it's own existence, IMO. 7.0/10.

Yeah same here. Everyone's saying it's painful, but it's not that bad o_o okay, well at least not yet. Poor Yuki, it's been like almost 16k times they've repeated this, no wonder she looks so sad D: Man that's a huge number...it's weird how no one noticed it until now.

Endless Eight weren't that bad. Only complaint was that the "repeated events" took up too much of this episode's scene, so I was literally watching the same thing occur over the previous episode.

This summarizes how I feel perfectly. This was so surreal.

I'm really tempted to skip, too, but... man, that's cheating. ;-;

Second Endless Eight episode gone!

It's amusing how this second season (even though we're just three episodes in) is entertaining me way more than the first one. I always thought it would be the opposite.

Regarding this arc, I believe it's too early to make assumptions of all sorts. Let's keep watching for now.
Liking Koizumi a lot more than the first season, but he still was the best character of the show.

PS: 5 minutes before the data moving.. see you all 8 hours from now, hopefully then I'll be still alive and Endless Eight free!

The Endless Eight continues...

It's more of a deja vu mode. This episode is designed with over-exposed imagery and bright light. Some scenes from the part 1 of Endless Eight are changed, and this is the start wherein they realized that that they have been repeating the events of August 17-31 for 15,498 times. In short, for 594 years. :O

I'm not skipping the Endless Eight, because I'm enjoyed watching it. I want to see the differences between each part of it.

[Watching in broadcast order]

A redo of the last episode;
Hot drinks during a HOT day ... not the way to go :D
Thought someone else would win instead of Haruhi ... catching the cicada's.

"Classified information ...."
Stuck in a timeloop, interesting turn of events.
HOLY MOLY ... 15.500 loops already, surprised Nagato hasnt mentioned it before or tried to fix it.
Or ... maybe she has but it's failed that many times O.O

Koizumi trying to ask Kyon to say "I love you" to Haruhi, was pretty cute.

Also love how Kyon just gave up on homework, knew exactly what he was going to say, since he's in a loop, why bother :)

Dont see the issue with "Endless Eight" ... I think it's very interesting already and definitely something that could happen with everything we've seen so far.
