| O....m.....g i made it out after a Marathon of the episodes, i dont want to go through that again .....im so happy its over(crying) |
 |
| was that all? ... good god ... why did I watch through all those episodes to find out that he just needed to say that his homework was untouched :( though ... I bet most people will rate this episode 5/5 due to finally being able to escape from the endless eight |
| Nagato, Koiumi! Let me Finish your Work! LOL nice way to put it, so endless 8 era is finally finished and yes i enjoyed it! |
 |
| God took him 15000 repeats to realize.. I haven't seen a haruhi episode since the first endless eight came out so this was quite refreshing for me lol. Cant wait for the new episodes now! |

| This is one series that I am not re-watching. Although glad it ended and seeing a different last 4 minutes was nice and was something we all waited for, for 5-7 episodes, depending on those who had patience. Well more like everyone has lost their patience. |
| I think now Haruhi will feel better than ever with new episodes. I didn't mind Endless Eight much. Just watched it weekly along with other series. |
 |
| Kyon: Asahina-san are you ok? I'll kill you Koizumi! Asahina: Kyon-kun...... AWRAHWHWAHRHWAHRHWRHJOFJOSAJOF :( Kyon: O.o |
     |
| I loved the ending, though I'm still pissed off with the fact that this arc didn't finish at least 5 episodes ago =X |
 |
| It's about time that Kyon did something. Now I can look forward to the next episode knowing it's going to be something new =P they really shouldn't have put the Endless Eight into separate episodes really. It would have been fine with 2 or 3. Ah well, bring on the next arc! |

| I see that people have become too blind with hatred to miss the fact that these episodes were NOT identical. All were freshly animated, all had the voices recorded from scratch and you could even say the story itself was never reused, as the fact that they did more the same things in each episodes was the story. The lines were mostly identical, but even then, there were some slight differences as the episodes progressed. Overkill? Yes, I will agree that they could've done it with half of the episodes, but personally, I didn't mind the way they did it now. I enjoyed each and every one of them and I still think that because the die-hard fans expected too much of this is why it failed to amuse them. And as said before, negative news is also news. It's clear as day that some people WILL buy the DVDs and I'm sure that even without any of the Haruhi DVDs selling, the money they make out of merchandise for K-On! and other shows will form most of their revenue. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me that they actually designed K-On! to be their major cash cow for this Spring (or rather, this year) after seeing how successful it became, with any Haruhi-related sales nothing more than a nice bonus. Now I wonder how many of you who claimed to have dropped it didn't actually have the guts to do so and pick it up again once the new episodes start airing. |

| I hate to read all those reviews so this is my opinion. Well... it finally ended... I was hoping for some better like confession of Kyon's love for Haruhi but what the heck, it ended. I pretty much enjoyed it and hated it at the same time. It would be far more interesting if they made this endless summer based on perspective of all characters. First would be that 2nd episode, the rest would be with the perspective of the rest of characters, including Haruhi *to see WTF was she thinking* and in the end episode with Kyon. It would be FAR MORE interesting than this and it would end in 6 eps not eight. |
| Hey you silly fucks, opening an episode discussion 2 days before it actually airs and then talking shit about the ep is not the purpose of these kinds of topics. Is this the best you can think of when you're bored? Anyway, very cool episode. I liked the individual changes again as well as the content overlapping sequences. Too bad they didn't show much of that last day. |

| So it ended on the 8th episode, as expected. Although the ending was pretty bland, I personally liked the arc; it was a great concept and it had to be a series with an already well established fan base to pull it off. A 'new' series would've died on episode 4 (3rd loop). As some people already pointed, the episodes were not identical. Aside from the new animation/voice acting the differences in content can be mostly perceived on Nagato's character. We see her normal self on the first two loops, then her depression starts to show and on the last episodes they even added dramatic/sad music during her lines and showed less and less of her face. But it's not something bitch-slap-obvious so people didn't care. |
| oh my got its da finally da overings i cant do the belifings. i luff the haruhi-chan da so manys. sorries for my bad engrish :) |
| As I said before, I enjoyed the story. What annoys me is when some people whine and complain about endless eight, and resort to calling those of us who enjoyed EE, fanboys or fangirls. I liked this arc because it was something rarely seen in anime, and it certainly was different in each episode. It isn't KyoAni's fault that most anime viewers seem to have the attention span of an ant. |

| I enjoyed the ending to the Endless Eight arc, although it was very predictable. There were quite a few clues. I figured it out in the second episode. It was the only thing that Haruhi and the gang didn't do and she since it's Kyon's homework that needed to be done, it's even more obvious. |
| Loved *_* Was a Nice End, will Check again *_* The last Scene was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo *_______________* |

| THANK....YOU....GOD!~ Don't get me wrong...I love the series, I love the art, I love how KyoAni did new work for every one of these eps. But eight episodes of this was way too much considering how much I've heard was left of Haruhi. Two or Three or maybe (on a long shot) Four episodes like this might have been novel, but by this point in the series, I've been skipping through the eps to see if it got resolved at all!~ Of course, I still stopped to see how the kimono's changed and the parts where Mikuru called Kyon in the middle of the night were all hilarious. :P All in all, glad to see this arc finally wrapped up so that we can move on to bigger and better things in the world of Haruhi Suzumiya!~ |

| Loved it, as with the rest of Endless Eight <3 Too bad it ended though, now it wasn't really 'endless' anymore : ( I wouldn't have been bothered if I got to see my Haruhi every week for many years to come : D Anyway, this was.. a pretty sweet way of ending the endless, and .. well.. yeah.. Epic stuff is epic, gg |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| when you get the feeling that the wait is now finished and was a good end, but now over, it's really mixed between whether i want more of it, or don't want to experience it again... |
| Next one will be...? |
|
bubbleboy352 said: IT'S OVER! IT'S FINALLY OVER! *glee* Yes! I told the same. But I think that there will be new, better episodes. |
 |
| THANK HARUHI, IT'S FINALLY DONE. Took you long enough, Kyon. >> |
    |
| Actually it must've been endless 9.Because there was no difference between the other episodes.It has just different ending.That was all.It was ok,though.But i'm not looking forward to watching the other episode because i don't expect a good thing from this season.If it was good, they wouldn't have to repeat all episodes. |
 |
| Hell yeah it is over :D Now going to watch last 5minutes 8 more times :DDD |
| Finally. It was so nice to see it end. Haruhi was so cute, poking Kyon, lol.. The rest of the new episodes better be damn good to retaliate. |
 |
| It... Ended? :( Just as I was starting to like it.... I'm having withdrawl symptoms now... wheres my Endless Eight!? |
   |
| Awh I would have loved to see more of the last day. <3 |
 |
| When I saw Kyon and Itsuki playing cards, I was like them, AM I DREAMING OR THIS IS REAL? Good thing it ended... but I kinda got used to it, every week watching same episode and noticing small differences in speech and actions. But now I hope good arc to come to take this anime out of shadows of endless 8 *It will be remembered as worst arc ever* |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Oh noes, endless eight is finished ! 0_o I'll miss that weekly routine... (it's a joke, obviously ^^;) This episode was nice,i loved how Kyon shouted in front of people. Haruhi's reaction was also priceless, it felt like "Ah finally, after 15531 repeats, you ask for my help." |
| Hurray! Not how I expected it to end, but it was still good. Now on to some good eps! At least, hopefully they'll be good. |

| Gosh I'm sorry but after sitting through 8 episodes of that I was expecting some friggin epic ending but.. just.. I'm sad now D: Augh fdskhjsh I've never been so annoyed at an anime DD< |
 |
| Oh my, I've been lied to it seems... I still can't see how they benefited from airing the same content 8 consecutive times. I mean, they practically wasted their budget, didn't they? At least they could had been more creative with the variations of the repeated events. And to top it all, no Disappearance this time around. |
