Im not so sure anymore that we'll see the second part of EE. The 2 Remote Island Syndrome episodes were labled as part 1 and 2, endless eight wasn't. Maybe they just took the first part of that arc and made it into a filler. That would be kinda dissapointing.

Where do they all get the energy from? xD

Good episode, I enjoyed it. The OP is not bad, will probably grow on me.

All the different outfits (especially Haruhi's), including the swimsuits, looked great.

Alright episode but felt a bit too much like filler... but I suppose it has to be like this to set up for what's to come. Also this episode had some decent humor here and there. Overall enjoyable since we get to see the S.O.S. Brigade animated once again.

Woah, the new opening is really nice.
So summer vacation with Haruhi is really fun. Liked the girls outfits through the episode.

I guess i'm one of the few people who liked the new OP. Not really the song but i liked the OP itself.

Episode was ok. It's been so long since i read the novels that I almost feel noobish.

Hmmm the Endless Eight wasn't Endless...

A classic Sumer-filled Slic of Life episode... I liked it... lots of Fanservice... Haruhi on swimsuit was hot... And Mikuru was hot.... Really liked the episode... and the feel... obviously if I hadn't read that part yet then I wouldn't be waiting for anything else than that.... Neway I really liked how they animated this episode... Liked everything... And the Op was rather wierd but cool... Liked the Hyper J-Pop song.... Really fits HAruhi's antics.... and yeah I'm a Haruhist.... Well more likely a full-fledged otaku kekeke

average episode. Not really that great, was quite dull actually. Spent the entire episode thinking 'where is this going?' (Though talked to someone about it and found out the true meanning of it). Makes sense but still build up is dull :/

I really liked the songs from the first season, but i really do not like the op and ed.

Oh and i don't know how to describe it but to me the feeling i love of the first series is missing in this one. Not sure if anyone else may feel the same way. Well not impressed by this season so far, hope it gets better. I do not expect it to come close to being as good as the first though.

Ok episode but this episode just felt like a whole lotta nothing, the OP was the only thing new in this one, other than that, all they did was have a typical summer vacation in Japan :/

I hope there was a true meaning to this episode like the person above me said or this episode is very forgettable.

Nothing in Haruhi is ordinary, as you will see in time.

Rewatching this episode makes you see how entertaining it actually was, despite the first somewhat-boring-filler-like sentiments some of you have towards it. Give it a shot. The OP grows on you, too.

I read the novels quite a while ago and I forgot why they called it Endless Eight. I get the Endless part, but I forgot about the Eight. Can someone put it in spoilers or PM me.

Tanigawa was actually learning, it seems.
It's for the good of all if he can portray Haruhi acting like a sane person (read: out of character) without insulting the audience.

All this talk about this endless eight isnt endless, omg u didnt read novel?"

Talk about that some other place, pretty sure this thread is called the episode 2 ANIME discussion thread.


That aside, thanks a.f.k. for providing quality, over mediocrity.

Chances are this episode will be continued over next episode, so stop QQ'in.

Also to the person who mentioned hints from Yuki, when has Yuki ever NOT looked bored?

For the most part this episode is fanservice for Haruhi fans with no plot at all. There is a slight link to the "sleepover" thing, but that's it. It was an enjoyable episode, nothing more.

Terrible episode, they should've at least hinted at something right at the end.
New OP is slightly better than new ED, which isn't saying much.

KyoAni, I am disappoint.

Pretty much this.


I thought that the tittle was pretty self explanatory; Endless Eight? Hmm maybe it isn't.
New OP's fine too.....

I didn't mind this ep because I'm a sucker for slice-of-life stories. Are they going to replay season 1 eps or is this an entirely new season?

Entertaining episode, but nothing really particular interesting going on that Haruhi does so well. Though I guess they can't make all the episodes like that, as it would lose it's flavor.

Anyway, wow they sure did a lot over their summer break, I would have passed out by then.

Ha, noticed that too. Awesome. Don't remember that being mentioned in the novels. Then again, I read it so long ago. Or maybe it's just a cool minor thing that KyoAni added.

Wow..

Its like the SOS Brigade would like to spend the most out of their 2-week summer vacation. So many awesome activities to do, so interesting.. Or perhaps, I should add.. So exhausting..



Second season seems to be pretty good!
