I get that but it's tiring that after waiting so long to see one of my fave animes and see what original thing that they would do each and every episode to find most are just the same. Sure it's nice to see them again with slight differences but the jokes and enjoyment die after seeing them too much.
If you could watch this kind of slight variations on one episode for a whole season, would you?
I was looking forward to new adventures and antics but the episodes just don't change enough.


I think after an entire season of this I'd probably be getting bored and frustrated as well. I think it's because I know this arc is going to end that I can be patient and enjoy it. The fact that I have other anime series that I am watching might also be a factor. If this was the only series I was viewing I'd probably be irritated.

I can understand the thinking behind this story arc, and I can imagine that there is a segment of the viewing audience that will enjoy it. It was an experiment that seems to have missed the mark with the majority NA audience. I'm curious as to what the Japanese think of this arc. I haven't really gone out of my way to find out.

I'm just skipping them until something new happens, because this is seriously just boring, and a waste of time.

But now you understand don't you? The majority of people (myself included) are relying on THIS anime - being either their favourite or only anime to watch - to be entertaining and are forced to watch what is, in essence, the same thing over and over again.

Most people are tired of this arc and I wouldn't be surprised if Kyoani lost a lot of fans in the process.

Haruhi Season1 was a social phenomena. Season 2 not only isn't meeting expectations, but has turned Haruhi into a broken toy.

Haruhi season 1 = 10 = Haruhiism around the world!

Haruhi 2009 = 1/dropped = Haruhiism has fallen.

I heard rumors that, He was fired because of Lucky Star,

So then he went and directed Kannagi.

I'm starting to think, that new season of Haruhi is just a waste of time . . . when I saw the same ep second time I wasn't irritated at all but ... after I saw it four more times, well that pissed me off. First season was wonderful but at this point second is just pathetic. I've got hope that this problem will be soon solved.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the same people every time. If you look at every episode it's almost a given different people worked in each. Heck, compare it side by side and some don't even look like "Haruhi" at all. It's almost like they decided to hold a contest on who was the team most fit to animate Haruhi or something crazy like that.

I read somewhere where each episode of the Endless Eight arc was handled by a separate animation team. They were given the script and designs and then each team did what they did with it and so we end up with eight versions of the same events. I believe the only differences in the script and dialog are the first episode where they haven't discovered the loop yet, and in the later episodes where the number of loops they've been through in Yuki's explanation change.

I really think this was such a shame. Yamamoto obviously had a lot of influence in Kyoto Animation. Then the Lucky Star thing happened and he left. Now it appears to me that Kyoto Animation really screwed up because not only did they come up with this very unpopular Endless Eight idea, but they basically drove out someone who had the right idea about how to make it better.

Its just a waste. Yamamoto will not come back to Kyoto Animation. I just hope that the present Kyoto Animation will get their acts together and give the fans what they want in the future.

Although, I'd also like to say that I didn't find Endless Eight that horrible. I feel like some of the fans are going a bit overboard with this. Its actually not such a bad idea, to completely reanimate one episode in eight different ways. It's actually a pretty interesting idea, its just that the fans do not want a fourteen episode series to be wasted like that. If this series was fifty episodes, I don't think people would object as much to eight of them being for Endless Eight. I just wish there was more time to show The Dissapearence.

Sigh...

Nice to know someone that used to be with KyoAni had a brain.

It didn't have to be eight episodes, could've been 3 or 4 and still have the same impact. I'm just worried that this 'season' won't get as much story telling done that the first one did.

At least its over now.
But I heard somewhere that this season was going to be more than 14 episodes...not sure if thats true or not.

I think it was supposed to be 20-something episodes long, so i was hoping for more original episodes than Endless Eight.

BTW i haven't read the Disappearance so could anyone inform me if Endless Eight was a part of that?

Announcements originally said that Haruhi would be re-aired with 28 episodes. I assume this includes the 2006 episodes + 2009 episodes. If so, then that means 14 from each. So...this new season only has 4 more episodes to go, I guess. 7 or 8 more total with the older episodes.
