lol.. this is cool .. but somehow .. how would you feel to be in this situation .. you dont know what to do to stop it ... its really psychological way to tell those kind of story .. lol

i like it event if i see it many time .. the animator did a relly nice job to make the same 2 week action different but still the same ^^

*raises hand* I will be buying the DVDs also. I can just feel it. I'm enjoying this more than I should be, despite my random groans now and then during these episodes.

Everyone's complaining, which is hilarious. Dudes, just make a drinking game to this. Seriously, you'll chill and forget all about it. ;)

If someone hasn't already, I should make a drinking game. It should be fairly easy to the EE. XDDD

(If you're an angry drunk, skip that suggestion.)

Also, I tend to scream, "NOOOOOO!" when Haruhi leaves everyone and Kyon is figuring WTF, no sense in doing homework. The tension! Even though I know in advance it's the EE, I still want to be surprised for some reason!!

I still manage to laugh in this despite how insanely repetitive this is. I'm probably losing it, but whatever. It's fun. SUMMAR VACATION 4EVAAAAAAR LOLOLOLOL

Same script, new clothes. Kudos to KyoAni for trying to pull something this unconventional off, but man, this is getting boring!! Still 3 to go...hoping for more loops as opposed to 1 loop per episode :-/

Strangely, this show is enjoyable, even if it's been pratically the same episode for 4 times, with different dialogues. I really like the concept though, hope the ending is nice !

The camera that followed the clock at the end was pretty cool.

I was quite surprised when kyon said "Now I know how Unit 00 felt after getting hit by a beam"(10.51) the first season got the "fumoffu/tsr" thing shouted by koizumi and now the second season gets evangelion^_^


I loved that part. Had to rewind and play it again just to make sure I heard Kyon correctly.

Wow I am so frustrated at Kyon...the main reason he doesn't stop her, although it would be so easy to with just shouting, "WAIT," I mean he doesn't even need to run towards her. Just saying wait would be enough. But he can't because he's thinking to much, about what would he say if he stopped her. GAH just stop her and then you can think of something to say. By the end of this we'll probably get some character development from Kyon regarding his hesitation...or so I hope.

Btw, lol at Koizumi's speedo X)

The Endless 8 is like a song (for me) 1st time I thought is okay, 2nd time I loved it , 3rd time I hate it , 4th time I loved it (damn you nostalgia). I've seen it so many time that I don't care anymore.

Kyon from this season < Kyon from the 1st season... I wonder what will happen if he says to Haruhi : "I love you" , because you can't not love Haruhi , she is that kind of character that you love and hate in the same time.

Kyon did say "wait" or something like that in the second episode of endless eight or so. I wondered why nobody reacted to it. Or it was just his (or my?) imagination.

I also made the mistake to start one episode yesterday, but decided to watch it today because i was already pretty tired. I have no idea if i watched the episode i started yesterday. At least i know i hadn't seen this episode of endless eight..not that it matter all that much given what we are speaking about ;)

Glad there were some new scenes that have not yet been repeated for this episode. Made it more bearable to watch. Also, staring at the ticking clock for 30 seconds was awesome.

Again and again the plot is the same. Why they did it? I think two episodes would be sufficient, it's very tiring.

I really don't mind it except for one reason - it's 6 episodes already, which means that there is less space for new content. This was the best iteration nonetheless.

But it must have been really horrible for those who watched this weekly :\

All right, I confess it's starting to get pretty tired now. However, I do appreciate the subtle changes in animation and dialogue.

Plus, I still chuckle every time Kyon stops Yuki for seemingly no reason and wonders why he wanted to talk to her.

Minor changes and additional scenes that I observed:
-Kyon and Yuki goes into a cemetery where's was a paper about SOS thing
-The characters are spun around in the round cage by Haruhi (it may represent the endless time loop)
-Kyon draws number 8 on the paper
-Haruhi loop when she's leaving the store (that means the endless loop episode may repeat 3 more times - a total of 8 episodes)
-Clock-camera angle at the end
-Two little girls that Haruhi recruited resemble Nakano and Hirasawa from K-ON

[Watching in broadcast order]

Oh damn Koizumi wearing a speedo!

Like I already mentioned in the second and third "Endless Eight" episode, it has to be something related to Kyon's homework.
Why else would they even mention it, especially since Haruhi has done A LOT of stuff during the summer vacation and specifically asks if someone else has something that comes to mind.

Anyhow, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Movie making?? I disagree with Haruhi! Death at last episode is quite epic too just like Death Note. Otherwise nothing speciaL this episode.

Are we looping with them? This arc is half of the season and there is absolutely no change in every episode except for their clothes. Why can't they just give Nagato the order to notify them from the beginning of the loop so that they can figure out a solution? If Nagato is calling this observance, she is doing a terrible job because watching the same thing over and over again will get her nowhere. She observes to get results. I'm not seeing any results.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

I cannot imagine the frustration viewers might have experienced after waiting the whole week for another episode of this arc.

Anyway, this one was boring. Aside from Koisumi in a speedo haha. The loop at the ending was weird. Kyon will go crazy.

I wonder how the production process went? Like the storyboards. Because it's basically the same story, but with slight variations of angles, scenes, looks, and dialogue. It's interesting.

KyoAni was really brave to do this lol
