PS: Is it just me, or is the animation style, faces, and color palette turning more and more into K-ON?


It's not just you. A lot of people are noticing a difference =/. I liked the old way.

The faces, and teeth in particular, are extremely similar to the ones in K-ON's character designs.

I'm also all for Nagato murdering everyone out of insanity. But this isn't that kind of show. Well, time to wait another week for a repeat of episode 2.

Wow, I thought they would learn to not repeat the same episode again and actually end it. I'm hoping that it doesn't go on for eight episodes because the title is Endless Eight.

Everyone calm down!

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

The rumors you guys heard are FAKE!!!!!!!

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

They already started make this series since 2007,2008,2009
And There is no 26 episodes for haruhi!
Haruhi will have 28 episodes!
Tv stations announce it last April!

Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
and Endless Eight are different!

BLR: Haruhi( look at Haruhi's hair) Her headband is large


Then look at Endless Eight: Haruhi ( Look at Haruhi's Hair ) Her headband is smaller


Different!!

I really liked the old animation better. K-On worked for K-On, but that doesn't mean that it will work for Haruhi.

If anything else, I feel sorry for the animators that have to do all the work for these episodes. *Pities.*

I'm also enjoying how the soundtrack slowly seems to be building up more and more as the episodes continue.

Oh, and I don't enjoy complaining about something that I'm seeing via stream or torrent, I don't really think I have the right to do so. If I keep a positive mindset throughout the whole thing, it turns out good for me in the end. A little ignorance goes a long way. ^w^~

This ep sure made a lot of people disappointed, angry, sad, and maybe even driven some people to suicide if they're stupid serious enough. Well, it's not the first time, (nor second nor third time....I lost count) that they've !@#$ed us over again.

When (if ever) the real second season of Haruhi comes out, I'll be buying that, and won't pay a single cent yen for endless eight....b/c at this rate, they're only encouraging illegal downloading, and dwindling their profits for the already financially struggling production of anime-related jobs in Japan such as the animators and voice actors.

Who ever came up with this marketing ploy/idea of theirs that put this in motion resulting in what seems to be 1 to 2 (at least) more eps of endless eight...needs to be beaten to a pulp fired.

I'll be looking forward to some real quality work, instead of a nice boat. Until then, every episode after episode 5, I will consider a filler/troll.

While the rest use their last bit of energy to bite off the hand feeding them.

Yeah, I'm hoping that they wanted to make these repeat eps as cheaply as possible... And the quality will be back up to S1 standards when S2 really starts.

Mikuru's hair in messy braided pigtails (*-*) Anyways I'm starting to go on the assumption that Endless Eight is eight episodes longs, thus the name. I bet by the last episode of E8, that Kyon will blurt out everything Haruhi says before shes says it, and starts really freaking out.

I said this in the last thread, I'll say it again now.

*deep breath*

WHO THE HELL OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED THE SECOND SEASON WAS ONLY 14 EPISODES LONG?

Answer: Noone from Kadokawa nor KyoAni. Only a 'supposedly' official leak. And with the trolling we are getting, who's to say that wasn't arranged?

Next up:

Why are people saying that this isn't the real second season? Sure, it's in between episodes from the first season, but it IS from a second season. This is part of the box set, so you'll end up buying it whether you like it or not, even if you never watch the DVD's you buy, just so you're shelves don't look stupid.

Third:

Yes, the animation is definitely reminiscent of K-On! Just look at ever picture that Mikuru is in and you can see that 9 times out of 10 in this episode they just used Yui's (maybe Ui's) face and changed the hair. While time saving, it's annoying.

I don't think Nagato's been changed at all though... maybe I haven't noticed.

Finally:

Stop your whining you useless meatbags (yes, I'm going to continue the HK references for every Haruhi post I do from now on), you're not gonna get to complain for another couple years when you actually PAY for this stuff. Till then, stop your bitching, suck it up, and enjoy seeing other people lose their minds over this.

What's amazing to me is that in all the polls about two-thirds say they hated it but very few say they're dropping the series - that's truly astounding.

And the point about "who says there are only 14 eps" is extremely valid.

I was under the impression it is named Endless Eight because the story occurs in August (8th month).

Ah, and I heard a rumour somewhere that E8 was scheduled for 6 episodes (not official). Though, you can never take any information seriously when it comes to this series. So, don't quote me on it. xD

Oh well, I really enjoyed this episode so I have nothing to complain about. :]

Dropped.


I never said it was meant to be boring, I said she understood what Haruhi was meant to be, which is a combo breaker. An anomaly. An enigma. Something that will always give you what you least expect, and then give you exactly what you do, and only when it's over do you realise that it almost always gave you exactly what you WANT.

That, is Haruhi.

Still don't think the series will ever be a 10 though, it's missing a few things that would make me consider it worthy of that.

count me in too. ^^

I mean the series quality is still in a good shape. i think kyoani really remake most of the thing in each episode, not just reused so it's not waste of my time to watch it. (though i feel pity for nagato right now :P)

i dont know perhaps many of u guys get bored easily so u already hated the episodes but i am not that's why i enjoyed it. also i believe in kyoani since they never make me disappointed in their production before.

That's the better part of why a lot of us are pissed off. Kadokawa has it in their heads that we'll just buy whatever bullshit they throw at us, so they're milking the series for all it's worth and saving the stuff people actually CARE about for another season. I can't speak for anybody else here, but I'll be perfectly content with 4 season 1 boxes, 4 season 3 boxes, and a whole lot of nothing from this trollfest.

Hey, I watched these four episodes twice each (three times for episode three) and I'm still not bored. Why? Because real life is more boring than this series and we all know it. That's why we watch anything that is on TV, cos it's more interesting. Also, because things are different each time and I want to see what changes.

Nagato definitely needs more screentime, the only thing that annoys me about this series is that Mikuru and Haruhi are given more time than Nagato.

Also, to that SealkidHaruhiism person, will you shut the FUCK up? Your constant posting trying to defend the series obviously isn't working. Unless you are the grandmaster mind behind the whole trolling, you cannot say SHIT about where the series is going, what the disappearance is doing, anything. So just shut the hell up and let people bitch about the episode.

Speaking of the episode, I hated it. Pretty much exactly the same, once again. The only redeeming fact about it is the don't use the same shots. Other than that, I'm loosing faith.

Also, I'd love to see what all the VA cast think about this shit...

@Hato-kun: The VA's probably think it's the easiest job they've ever had. Seeing as there was a fair amount of script-changes in this episode, they probably did the whole episode over again, all of them shoved in that recording room together, doing the dialogue again... for the fourth time. They may be getting sick of doing it, but at least they know they won't have to rehearse.

And don't take your frustration out on Sealkid, he's just trying to calm as many people as possible down so that they don't drop Haruhi. It's entertaining to see in my opinion. But that's just because deep down I'm like Rose on 2 and a half men. I like watching people react to things, people react to their reactions, then throwing my own craziness in to see what will happen.

You're right about it being a combo breaker. Haven't dropped a series in a while.
