(Chronological order - Endless Eight Part 5)

They really put Koizumi in a speedo in this one huh

I love how they showed Haruhi getting up from the table several times at the end there, all while Kyon racks his brain trying to find a way to end this loop. And then we have the ticking clock at the end. It's the little things that they add that really make this watch worth it- in my humblest opinion.

Something obviously is going to happen there at the end when Haruhi walks away in the eighth episode, but the scene I'm more curious to dive into is the one where Kyon seemingly asks Nagato how she is doing out of nowhere, to Kyon's own surprise as well. This whole arc so far has had its eerie undertones, but that scene continues to be most eerie of them all. I wonder if there truly is a reason for Kyon running up to Nagato and asking how she's feeling. Perhaps slowly but surely his deja vu is becoming stronger, and that he has subconsciously known all this time that Nagato has been going through a lot- 15,000+ a lot.

rewatch- chronological- ep16

endless eight 5

my kyon's sister theory had been back, she's again reading and enjoying book rather than watching baseball. she's doing it now in the living room, but location had been moved a lot otherwise. . .

nagato looked disappointed than usual. probably because kyon changed his dialogues much less this time? in EE4 he changed much more.

i think that kyon's subconscious needs to ask nagato what had haruhi said for the first day, since her most important stuff she says is only at the start of the "loop". but since he doesn't actually knows it, he's confused.
(by the time mikuru calls him, it's usually 2 days later, after the festival and the bug hunting. so he never recalls what haruhi's sayin)
rather way, you can see at nagato that she's seems as she wants kyon for asking her.
(since she's observing only, she cannot really tell them, unless they ask her too)

that's actually what i like about the EE arc. it's actually makes you think, rather than "pure watching".
this is where suzumiya haruhi stope being exists as an anime, but being a riddle.

It's so interesting to look at this thread, now, after all is said and done, and I'm staring down the barrel or seven more of these...

Well, at least for now, this was a lovely episode, and I'm still not sure if I'm going to watch all of these...

It just keeps repeating and nothing happens! When will something happen?
