I lauged, I cried, I screamed for joy. Epic. It's unfortunate that so many people pussied out and missed one of the great TV experiences of all time. I watched every episode start to finish, without knowing the end. When Kyon actually said something to Haruhi as she was walking out was magical. I love this arc.

Well it finnaly ended, now people can stop complaning now. Let's continue on to the next arc, which will provide us with more laughters and the same feel that Haruhi Season 1 did. So now this brings us a little closer to the disappearance of Haruhi.

Next up, SOS makes a movie! (according to the timeline)

I sure hope it doesn't turn out this way... They've been trolling us for all those years about a second season, and in the end what do we get? 8 identical episodes, just great...

Technically this was never really "season 2" these episodes were dumped into place with the re-airing of the first season....

But I doubt anyone has actually realized this. I suspect that the last three episodes of the first season (Live Alive, The Day of Sagittarius and Someday in the Rain) will air possibly next and then maybe 3 new episodes afterwords, turning the re-air into a 26 episode run.

But maybe they can be good to us and give us a true season 2? I doubt it though after what they pulled with EE.... I shall wait till next week.

Yeah, (K-On! spoilers)
, the "Blu Ray" releases and now Endless Eight, I severely doubt it too.

They're just trying to milk easy money off the fans.

I think this show is great. Animation is good, art is beautiful, nice soundtrack, a lot of symbols (much better than some lazy animes but many love it why? ==")

I just loved how she yelled at Kyon at the end :P
So its finally over...It was a great arc at my point of view...it was never seen, crazy and probably the most disscused for the past 2 month!
I can't deny that I loved it.
Is there any other person who liked this arc ?

If this arc had been finished in 2 episodes, the second season would probably be ranked #1 right now. Instead, KyoAni/Kadokawa decided to add 6 perfectly identical episodes to screw it up.

But for this episode, 5/5.

What's with people posting on forums where there's supposed to be DISCUSSION ABOUT AN EPISODE THEY WATCHED when people didn't even see the episode? I just skipped the previous 4 pages because I assume nothing worthwhile was written. I don't want to read posts about people bitching about things they assume, making them look like asses.

Anyway, i knew something had to be up when the kimono shopping scene was cut because that's a lot of time saved that could be applied elsewhere. however i thought the break in the endless would be kyon doing the "I love you" bit but i guess the homework seemed more in character.

Nice arc with a nice payoff. i guess now fanboys can go back to sniffing KyoAni anus like come next brand new episode.

I'm going to post this, and only post it once, because there are so many whiners here that I'm friggin' sick of it. Let's put in point form shall we?

1. Despite what is being said, this arc WAS good. It did do overkill, I won't deny this, but the arc WAS good. The animation was new each time, the voices were only reused on a few of the episodes, as you can hear from the fact that lines have changed. And it has generated more renown for itself just by existing than any other anime I've heard of. So the arc WAS good.

2. What the hell is with everyone assuming that the second season is only 13 or 14 episodes? We haven't heard ANYTHING from KyoAni OR Kadokawa to say that it is. If I remember correctly, back in the Ep 7 thread there was apparently a rumour that series two, when combined with series one, would count to a little over 40 episodes. So stop your bitching until we find out. There may still be a Disappearance, there may not, but as of right now, we don't know, we have no information on it, we have no leaks, and we're not Japanese. So we get NO SAY WHATSOEVER on what happens and we have NO INFLUENCE over the animators, so shut up and wait.

3. As Omegaoveride stated on the last page, and I stated in a few of the first EE threads, there has also, so far, been nothing to suggest that this isn't, in fact, anything more than an extended airing of the first season. If that is true, then the DVD's will probably be released in Japan in such a way so that they can fit on shelves in between the original DVD's (there being 8 eps before this started and such). Westerners will be harder off, but the Japanese didn't make this for our enjoyment, so they don't care. But again I say that this may be nothing more than an extended airing of the original first season, as the title is still 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya', then it's highly possible that once this ends, it will be over and the second season, when it starts will have the name of it's longest arc, i.e. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

4. The credits rolled, as stated before, because they didn't have time for the usual ending credits if they wanted to finish this. It's probably also because it's the end of an arc, and in many anime, the ending of an arc has it's own credits, rather than just the actual end of the anime.

5. Yes, KyoAni and Kadokawa are trying to milk this franchise for money. But it's the middle of a Global Financial Crisis, and they need the money. What's more, this arc has generated mass amounts of publicity for them, and even though it's negative comments for the most part, the amount of press they get in the anime community and elsewhere is massive. It's a businesses job to get the most money out of their franchise as possible, so stop hating them for doing their jobs.

That is all, I'm done with my points for now, for those of you who actually read this, reply as you see fit, I'd like for your views on this.

Yeah, what he said. (Thanks, chinlamp)

For me the only thing that got old was watching the three manipulate Kyon especially Mikuru's poor little time traveler schtick, I wish they would have changed that up a little more.

Also, the end once again proves that, even with her berating him, whenever Kyon doesn't just protest or say she "shouldn't" but tells Haruhi something must or must not be done she never ignores him.
