I did. I guess since I already like the series so much, the Endless Eight didn't really bother me. Besides, it does explain things in the movie.

I can't say that it wasn't boring though. I kind of wish they had Kyon realize the situation gradually over the episodes instead of him realizing everything at the same time.

i think this whole endless eight thing pave the way for the movie



so i guess if you feel so annoyed by just sitting through 8 episodes, guess how you will feel if you went though it for thousands of times (like nagato did)

after watching season 2, i recommend to watch the movie immediately :D

I left them for last and just marathoned through them in two days, four each day. Around the third episode, seeing Kyon’s attitude to the homework, I thought "Wouldn’t it be funny if the homework was actually the cause!" When that actually turned out to be true, though, it wasn’t funny at all. I was severely disappointed.

What a waste of time. The only good thing was that after the third episode, it got so similar that I didn’t even feel like I watched it all eight times. Though I feel really bad for the people who watched this while it aired. Can’t imagine what i would be like to get this eight times each week.

Yeah just finished the EE arc. And I gotta say it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong I was bored by the 4th episode or so, they could have at least put some more variation into the episodes, but it was an interesting experiment i guess...

LOL, I watched the endless eight loop in one night, right after download them.When I watched the 13th episode, I thought that I just download the same one ( well I was kinda sleepy back then). But then I realized that all of them was same, and it was kinda an effort to download it so I ended up watching all of them in one night. =_=

But I think it was good concept, I never thought there no anime that insane enough to repeat the same thing for eight times, just like this anime did. And that idea never cross in my mind before. Well it's great, I think.

Saw them all, but I kept falling asleep.

Not sure which episode (not like it matters), but I fell asleep a grand total of 6 times in one ep because I thought it was going to just be a short recap, so I closed my eyes until I heard something that was new- or at least I thought I would hear something new.

I find it funny that people try and put aside the endless 8 arc to rate the anime - I mean it's 8/14 episodes- That's 57% of the anime that sucked- why would you give 8 episodes less weight in your rating than 6?

Steins;Gate kind of did something similar with the friend dying over and over, but that made a much better impact on me since I didn't fall asleep during it. Tremendous failure on the directors part, and I suppose on the part of everyone who allowed this monstrosity to be aired.

Watched it through the first time I watched the series. I got a bit bored, but I still watched them. I understood why they did it that way, so I didn't get raging mad like some people. Anytime I rewatch the series, however, I just watch the first and last. No reason to watch all eight again.

I watched all eight. Six in a row, but then I decided I had to fall asleep and I finished them the next day. My favorite part was waiting for his reaction to Asahina calling him at night. It definitely was a really interesting thing to watch, both in terms of the way it affects you mentally and the fact that it was actually different every time, just in ways you aren't used to in normal cinematography.

Well... At least it does give something unique, storytelling inside the watcher's head. I watched it back when the series was airing, and damn. 8 weeks of waiting things to change, damn. The very least I got was that multiplying my pain thousands of times equals Disappearance making more sense.

Why won't I watch endless 8? I've been a fan of Suzumiya Haruhi series ever since. If it wasn't for steins;gate, it's still my favorite anime. XD

My "Endless Eight Arc" experience:

Episode 1 - Didn't pay much attention to the "Endless Eight" title. Really enjoyed
the episode.
Episode 2 - Watched it for a few mins., noticed something's wrong so i checked my
vid player and the downloaded episode. Sees some diff yet same story
as the last. Continued watching
Episode 3 - This has to be the turning point of that repetition. Watched closely yet
nothing happened.
Episode 4- Same thing again. FML. Tried to see whatever's wrong with the arc.
Then I saw some forums about it. Rage, rage everywhere lol. Ignored
them, did my "Challenge Accepted" pose and decided to waste my time
and see through the remaining 4 episodes of the arc.
Episode 5- Currently watching. GL to me xDD

At least we just had to go through 8 episodes/around 3 hrs. for watching this whole damn arc (or weeks for those who watched it while it was still airing). Nothing compared to the 500+ years' worth of time Yuki had to spend don't you agree? xDD

Will sign after I finish the rest o.o

Edit: *Signed*. Watching all 8 ain't really that bad, especially since I get to see Mikuru in diff. cute yukatas/bikini xDD. Don't pay much attention on the dialogue + breaks between episodes and you'll be fine lol. Well jokes aside, It's not as bad as the others say it is. Actually kinda enjoyable for the diff. scenes, well for me at least. A little annoying but it's good if you're patient enough. Now off to watch the rest.

This arc was somehow special...
It was an unique experience...
In all those episodes I tried to guess the method to end this endless august, but I failed ;/
The only bad thing is that I'm already at 9/14 of second season :(

I watched endless eight and it was boring to see all these characters (especially nagato) doing nothing to put an end to the timeloop.
The ending is a bit predictable and unsatisfying.

I watched it all when it came out. I wonder what I'd do if I were to watch the series again.... Maybe I'd half-watch Endless Eight instead of actually paying attention (which is what I did the first time).

It wasn't bad for the fact that it immersed you in a certain feeling of helplessness that is central to what Endless Eight really was supposed to be about; it just wasn't entertaining.

I think I watched about 6 of them in a single afternoon, the part that really bothered me was the scene at midnight in the park, Asahina calls Kyon, damn I think I got to hate that part, the dialogue is... agh, I wanted to shoot myself at one point honestly. And felt really bad for Yuki, specially in the mask and Kyon stopping her scenes.

The things I liked was Kyon watching the game feeling that he's been there before, the "I won't do homework anyway" (that was totally me in high school lol), and the the different filming angles an episode could have, they didn't recycle anything, except I think for the bug at the very begining

The first two episodes I was pumped for, then it slowly got very repetitive.
I watched them all, right after each other. Greatest life achievement.

I hadn't heard of the whole "Endless Eight" debacle before I started watching Haruhi, so I didn't know it was coming, and consequently, when it would end, so I ended up watching them all.

Lol I literally was the same way. I didn't realize it was 8 whole episodes so I watched them all in one sitting but my God it was tough. Very rewarding though

Just finished season two tonight and had the same thing happen to me. Spent the hours of 12am -3am watching this arc.

It went down a little like this:



When all was said and done, I actually really liked the concept behind it. On top of that it made me think; by the 5th episode I was actually tempted to start taking notes lol. That said, its definitely a one shot deal for me. When I re-watch the series, you can be sure I'm not going through all 8 episodes again.
