The funny thing about this is that when this worthless arc in Haruhi 2 is over every single fanboy will turn their frown upside down, forget about the failed attempt at originality and rate this abomination of an anime 10 anyway.


No one will forget the Endless Eight arc... it has already left it's mark on the world and will be forever remembered in anime history.

Yamakan can say w/e he wants about Haruhi... it's not his problem anymore. It's like a big F**K YOU to his former employer.

He said he knew the repetitive direction of the arc more than one year ago and he was against the idea.
It's hard to read isn't it? He was involved in production of haruhi before he left kyoani. Well, it's not his fault anyway.

Kyoto Animation replied to J-Cast's question that Yamamoto Yutaka has nothing to do with the company at all.


Nice one KyoAni!!!^^

Obviously, he has nothing to do with their company and thus, it was very strange of him to apologize on KyoAni's behalf. Then, he realized he said something strangely wrong and thus, he tried to correct it as "on behalf of the former SOS Brigade" which is more wrong as that he is not a member of the SOS Brigade during any one time at all. The SOS Brigade only consist of Haruhi, Kyon, Nagto, Mikuru, and Koizumi.

In related news, the absence of “Disappearance” from the airing of the “new season” is all but confirmed, and the Endless Eight DVDs will retail as normal DVDs, meaning they will be $70 for two episodes…

LOL, that is the funniest thing i've ever read.

When half of a season is the same episode over and over, the chances of it being saved are pretty low. Even if the last few episodes prove to be good. The damage is done.

The fact that they were discussing this abomination A YEAR AGO, and decided to go through with it in the end anyway is a complete joke. They've taken a successful franchise, and not quite destroyed it, but have certainly decreased its worth. Sure some fans will buy all the merchandise they can get their hands on anyway, but on the other side of things they've lost a sizeable chunk of those fans.

Why would anyone want to lower their profits? Well, I guess they're slowly trying to go out of business or something. It boggles the mind.

I voted this show 10/10 because I have hopes for The Disappearances .

But As for Now I will Never Buy Endless Eights DVD!

A message to Kyoani and Kadokawa.

-Why are you hurting your popular Anime Show.

If were not getting our Disappearances then Haruhi Fans will Start forming Angry Mobs in your Studio.

- If they keep this up, then, Haruhiism will fall.

I hope in the Future, that J.C. Staff or another animation studio will remake haruhi again.

the only possible reason you'd vote this show 10/10 is because you're a Haruhi fanboy.. no other reason.. nothing... don't even try to provide a legitimate reason for it.. (btw rating "in hopes of the future" is one of the most ridiculous concepts i have ever heard of)

and

Hmm... so you didn't know he's one of the anime characters?

And kyoani reply... wow, how taunting. Nothing at all, maybe because he's no longer working for them...


Well, enjoy your crappy show.

The most imprtant to have on our side as well

But honestly I feel these episodes are really trying to kill the series (not that it ever could). No matter how enjoyable it could be to watch the same episode again therein lies the problem... WE ARE WATCHING THE SAME EPISODE AGAIN!!!

I was looking forward to these 14(?) new episodes in this rerun to be fresh new and exciting like the previous series, so to cut it down to essentially 9(?) new episodes is disappointing.

As much as i try to enjoy it, it's disappointing.

Just face it. Kadokawa and Kyoani gave the ultimate troll. They probably thought "Fine let's just give them this and they'll shut the fuck up desu" while they're sitting on their piles of money from Haruhi merchandise. Oh well, I like Haruhi and I'm quite disappointed by no Disappearance this season but this whole Endless Eight nonsense doesn't make me angry anymore. It's quite humorous actually.

I gave the first season a 10, I really liked it, the first new episode was good, but damn it why can't Haruhi just be done normally, why is there always some shit, why can't Kadokawa/ Kyo Ani just yet the show run on it's own merits, it could do it and there would be nowhere near the hate.

Is it so wrong to want a sequel, Sunrise isn't going to pull this with Inuyasha, why do we Haruhi fans have to suffer?

And where the hell is a new Full Metal Panic, since your not doing Haruhi anymore they might as well do FMP, and not another stupid Key title.

It was more like: "This will totally fuel more hate toward KyoAni hahahahahahahaha *clears throat and fixes tie*"

It was a perfect way to poke a little revenge-fueled at the company that pretty much fired him.

Also, I guess KyoAni does not cares one bit about the fact some people caught up on them being total trolls, since they know the Harutards will buy anything with Haruhi in the cover.

I like all the little difference between episodes. It's the same experience, but a little different every time. It's like returning to your favorite coffee shop after they've done a small renovation and noticing all the small little changes while also noticing the things that are still the same.

I also like that it's different. Too many anime follow a formula and to me they often begin to look and feel like the same anime after a while. It's nice to see a studio that likes to try something new once and a while instead of just doing more of the same because it was successful the first time. I know this arc isn't going to last forever so I might as well sit back and relax and enjoy it while it's here.

It's not like the studio is just reusing the same animation over and over as well. Each episode is redrawn in it's entirety. They put a lot of effort into this. There are those of us that can see and understand what they were trying to do with this arc and because of that we've been able to sit back and enjoy it. Not everyone sees the same things that everyone else does. Everyone has their own perspective and understands things in their own way, so it's a given that not everyone is going to enjoy it. That's just human nature.

In the meantime i'm going to continue to watch the series and see how this arc is resolved and what comes after it.

I just confirmed people sometimes can be entertained by so little. Go ahead KyoANi, make 12 episodes of the same thing. You only have to change the scenes around a little and change their clothes, they will eat it up anyway. Perfect way of making a season without straining their brains coming up with different ideas.

There's no point on spending money on a dvd set that has the same episode over and over. Anyone who buys this without knowing about endless eight before hand is going to be REALLY upset.

You make it sound like I'm an idiot with a childlike mind for liking the Endless Eight arc. Different people like different things. So I see something here that you don't and I get enjoyment from it. There's no need to imply that I'm less a person than everyone who is jumping on the hate wagon. All I did was state that I enjoy something that others don't.

I could have let myself get upset like everyone else, but I decided to sit back and see where they were going with this arc and found that I actually enjoyed it. Maybe I'm different than the rest of the crowd. Maybe I'm have a different perspective on things. I don't think that means I deserve to be called stupid.

KyoAni tried something different. Some of us liked it and some of us didn't.

It is anime like the Endless Eight arc which legitimize fansubbing, because no one in their right mind should have to spend money on the same episode more than six times over.

To quote Random Curiosity: "We could have covered a whole novel by now, but now, more Endless Eight."

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.
