You're hurting Haruhi's feeling if you drop the season 2.

I'm just not going to drop the show, I'll just keep watching, and it have updates on it.

On episode 4, Kyon almost warn Haruhi to read the sign.

Why were there 4 repeats in Haruhi leaving the store??? Was it to fit in more time for Kyon to talk??? Or to show it secretly repeating more time dimensions???

When you think of it, isn't it a bit unreasonable to get pissed off at Kadokawa for only 5 (mebbe 8) episodes when Bleach has been repeating the same episodes with minor variations for years?

Really?
The same episodes?
With minor variations?
Please explain, because of all the things to try and say about Bleach (the 5 minute recaps, interrupting cannon with filler, stalling, etc) you try to say that they repeat the same episodes with minor variations for years?

And even if you were right, yes, that makes them both bad, not Haruhi 2 better.

Will of harutards is indeed strong, after 5 episodes of the same shit over and over again rating is still 8.08...
Indeed, but not surprising in the least.


that's why i feel like you shouldn't really rate an anime..until you've seen the whole thing, or at least MOST of it. some people watch the first episode and give an instant "SO GOOD, 10!" or "sucky first episode sucked. 1!" people still don't know that you have to give most series a few episodes before you can judge it. i really hate these recurring scenes..but if they have some really good episodes coming up, i think it can redeem itself. it's gone too far with this endless eight arc to ever receive a 10 though.

I have a feeling they'd still rate it a 10 even if it was only allowed to rate after the anime is completed. I personally don't rate it before completing, because it seems like it would be a game of "Top This".

You know what's funny? The fact that we still watch it and anticipate the coming of subsequent episodes.

Most people see Kyon drawing an 8 on a piece of paper, but I saw him drawing an infinity sign. I think he's figured it out.

In the novel they figured it out in 15498 loops, but the anime they still haven't figured it out in 15521 loops! Geez!
Anyways Kyon solves this by
It's so freaking trivial, I want this to end, and I'm about to cry.

I think the solution might be in this:

Maybe Kyon should do it.

It's getting reallly boring. Still 3 episodes to go... TT^TT

Also, Looks like Kadokawa and Kyoani might release The Real Haruhi 2 in December 2009.

If Kyoani won't do Haruhi season 2. Then I want another animation studio to do it like.....
J.C. Staff or Shaft.

Somehow, I'm still pretty sure that some time in the future, looking back after season 2 is done, we would all laugh and be amused by how everyone was all RAGEzomfgtoomanyrepetitionsISHALLDROPHARUHINAO!!!!111 at the seemingly-endless endless eight.

Sure, it might not be pleasant following this season week-by-week, but I do feel that once we get to see the big picture when this season is over, what seemed like utter failure would actually be brilliance on Kado/KyoAni's part, in terms of the way Endless Eight is being presented.

I see potential Endless Eight parodies in other animes in the future. mwahaha.

(I'm resisting giving this season a rating, for now.)

On a side note, I found this week's episode by far the best out of the 5 Endless Eight episodes broadcasted so far. Playground scene ftw.

I'm glad the episode this week had some new scenes in it, cause otherwise it would bore me even more ><
I hate that moment at the end where Kyon wants to stop her but never does, it kills me everytime!! But still I wanna keep watching it.

They're using the same amount of funds per episode, by re-drawing it all, re-animating it all and the voice-overs are re-done.
=P


EDIT: In one of the threads on here that I read, someone said "I blame KyoAni as even I could make Endless Eight more interesting then they are!". I just thought about this, and when Kyon questions Nagato she says that the things done are different each time, and different variations of work and stuff are done. Then why don't KyoAni do that and at least make those different? Ugh... I mean, it doesn't bother me, but some varation (might I add, that was mentioned by Nagato (them), so there no excuses) would've been nice.

right now, i am almost absolutely sure that this is going to end at 8th time, because of the title and the simbol kyon was drawing it might be an 8 but also the infinite simbol...

this episode kinda diferent ... i liked that clock efect at the end.

I dunno. I liked it that time around.

I can't just give up on Haruhi for this. Somehow, I actually find it amusing. Especially the clock at the end. It wasted 15 seconds of my day, but I liked it anyhow.

Hm, to each his/her own, I guess, but I personally am a fan of Endless Eight.

KyoAni is asking for serious trouble. Since ep. 5, the series score dropped by over 0.3 and is now under 8.0.

Well, at leased it was a bit different this time around. Maybe that's a sign that we're getting near the end. Maybe...

Kyon, you're one of my favorite anime characters ever, but seriously, you need to grow some balls and confront Haruhi about what she wants to do to complete her summer. Do you really not care how many times you loop around?!

God, it was a little painful to watch this AGAIN. I really hope this ends soon. I thought the Figure 8 thing was cool, though, and the clock angles. Other than that...blaaahhh.

I refuse to buy the DVD with the most Endless Eight episodes.
The only way I'd have it is if they have a boxed set.
