| I have PTSD from Endless Eight, so I started shuddering and vibrating when Kyon and Kyon no imouto were watching the baseball game, and then Kyon no imouto says, "Kyon-kun denwa." *shudder* Also, that confession made me rewind. I'm still trying to make sense of how Nagato came out of Yuki and heard that confession, and Yuki didn't. A somewhat underwhelming finale. But of course, what would I expect from Haruhi? 5 is average, so 8/10. Great. |
 |
| Overall it was okay. I guess I got too excited and anticipated too much for this since this was one of my very first mangas I have ever read back in my early highschool days. |
 |
| Aaaah that reference after the credits, though. Interesting series, I think we can all agree that the episodes during the time the "other" Yuki was present was the highlight of the season. Not bad, 7.5-8/10 |
| Uh, it was OK. Kinda average, but the animation, VA's and OST's were really nice, so meh. IF anything, the worst thing is the Endless Eight reference at the end. |
| Oh boy that endless 8 reference at the beginning and the ending of this episode... it gave me a grim feeling I once had before... Either way I can't be entirely mad on how this spinoff as a whole did because it did fairly well to adapt its manga counter part which didn't have that much flair to begin with but I also know this studio could of done something better to make it just as interesting. I wasn't always looking forward to the next episode but again I read the manga so I'll leave it at 6/10 A good thing that came out of this is that the spinoff got more chapters translated when this aired and maybe just maybe the original series will see some progress as well Heres hoping Kyoto Animation does a new Haruhi season or maybe a new light novel. |

| Best part was the endless8 wink. Not a good series though. |
"meh" ending, but i still like it.. xD |
 read from right to left |
| That endless eight troll front to back lol. Especially after credits. I find it funny because of all of the QQ-ing people give around endless eight, when it was actually one of the most intellectual aspects of the series. Bit hard to take in, but every episode was animated separately, and the intention was to drill in the immense sympathy and understanding for Nagato. Endless eight was all about Yuki. I always watch them all whenever i rewatch haruhi. Although this doesn't compare at all to the care that went into the original, this was still thoroughly enjoyable as a fluffy light show with familiar characters. imo ryoko was scarier in this series than the original, at least for the first half of the series, mainly because she was so out of character, like she was up to something secretly. I got lots of good laughs and enjoyed the clever comedic use of things from the original to mess with you. ps: this isn't the first spinoff by a longshot. |

| Kyon-Kun Denwa~ xD Did you hear haruhi hum Bouken Desho Desho "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu OP" ? whatever that show is so Good and not bad like the most of you are saying i give 8/10 |
 |
| This episode actually hurt the series for me. I was enjoying this version of Haruhi, as I enjoy these kind of romance, slice of life shows. However, after watching Kyon waffle about his feelings for 90% of the episode, he instead "confesses" to the other Yuki when the fireworks are too loud for the real Yuki to hear it. F*ck you, anime! Way to cut the balls off Kyon. What good is building this romance only to end with the status quo unchanged? That's a lame story! Either have Kyon confess properly to both versions of Yuki, or give me some surprise with Yuki actually cutting him off and finding the guts to confess instead. That would have been good. Then there were those few scenes teasing Haruhi actually having feelings for Kyon, and last episode, out of nowhere, teasing she actually met Kyon a long time ago, but did nothing with that either. Give me a proper ending instead of this "let's hope for a second season so we can milk it more" nonsense. Just because you gave a nod to Infinite Eight with that post end theme scene doesn't make it right. I see you sitting over there, OVA to be bundled with the DVDs. I know you're going to give me the proper ending, or at least something, but that's already too late. Anyone else tired of the "bonus" episode true endings? |
| Kyon-kun denwa, Itsumo no Fuukei... it almost seemed like a regular episode of the main series. I thought that this would adapt everything from the manga, but apparently the manga is still on-going, so maybe there will be a second season (I hope Sasaki appears, since we probably will never get to see her in a 3rd season...) |
| Nice, 7/10. Though I was expecting a more better ending. Still, that endless eight feeling...lol. |
 |
| That endless eight references in the episode were strong, especially with Kyon and his homework again. >_< Still, it was a good spin-off. What it lacked in story and certain character development at times was made up with a charmful soundtrack, good art & animation, the characters themselves and the humour. 7/10. |
| Meh, shite ending to a worse than average Anime. 4/10, wasted my time. :/ |
 |
| This would have been a solid episode but an awful finale. It concluded nothing. If they really wanted to go this path, they should have merged this episode and the one Yuuki returns to her usual self and make that a finale. This was the same thing as if they served you a chocolate cake and then ripped it out of your mouth as you were chewing. 7/10 for the anime without finale, 6/10 for the anime with finale. Because this is exactly how you don't finale. |
 |
| Damn, so much salt in here I can't even... Why did you people not drop this show if you weren't enjoying it? What was even the point of watching it till now then... |
| Am I the only one that actually Likes this Nagato? I still don't understand why people watch this expecting it to be like the original Haruhi show, and then complain when it's not. |
| Good series, though the end could have been better. Maybe OVA will be more satisfying. As for the series: The beginning with the heavy rom-com-elements were nice, the serious part with the other Nagato was interesting, the end was kind of a mixture of both and wasn't that good, but it was ok. Overall I enjoyed the series and the character design fit well. People who complained about it are just too narrow-minded :-P (read: kyoani-fags) |

I like main series Yuki more, but thanks to The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, this Yuki makes me feel things. (That's good by the way) |
| they played it too safe. SAFE! out of 10. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| rather watch the whole s2 with all eps of endless 8 again than this spin-off, if I know this anime gonna be a crap. |
| 6/10 because like 90% of this was watching "boring" Nagato be boring nostalgia wasn't enough for me to give this any higher. endless 8 ....oh the horrors |

I miss anime having complete, final endings. This is a fairly standard, cut and dry, slice of life romantic comedy. It's not that hard, it doesn't have such an intricate story. It had, what, 3 episodes of weirdness involving another Yuki? So what? There is nothing to this plot that really needs a season two. I like romantic comedy anime, but the whole point to watching them is to finally reach that conclusion where they get together at the end. Or don't. Either way, it's a single season affair. It's not Dragonball where you can have endless adventures, it's not Detective Conan where there's an intricate conspiracy and plot to work with. Heck, it's not even InuYasha where there's at least material to stretch it out despite the fact the romance could have been settled in a season or two. It's a standard romcom. You can still have a second season, there's material to work with when you involve Haruhi's apparent feelings for Kyon she can't admit to, but you need a proper ending to season 1, and them getting together would be a great point. Hell, you could see Haruhi's reaction when they returned, and that's because I'm sure she expected them to be together or Kyon actually confessed. There's your second season drama. Kyon continuing to waffle about his feelings for Yuki for another 16 episodes or 13 episodes or whatever next season is just lousy character development. It's maintaining the status quo just for the sake of extending the story. It's easier to keep writing the same thing than it is to advance the plot and have to do something new with it. It's lazy. We will watch the sequel anyway, so make some effort. I don't care about the manga being unfinished, it's only being made to push the anime anyway. Any half-decent anime writer could finish the story without it. This is why a lot of people, myself included, still wax nostalgic about Cowboy Bebop. It was a great story, complete story, and didn't sit on it's arse waiting for a never-ending manga because it didn't have one. Something like this fairly cut and dried romcom with a slight Haruhi twist doesn't need manga to tell it what to do. |

| Wtf? It's over!? Really bizarre that it ends at episode 16. Normally seasons last 13 or 26, which is why for sure I thought they'd go all the way to 26 since we're past 13. Oh well. Now I can only hope for a long-past due continuation of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi novel adaptions (minus that Endless Eight bullshit they pulled in season 2). |

Due to what happens next, I think Season 3 of the main series is more likely than a season 2 of this. |
| Like everything else in this series 'it was okay'. Nothing special, but made me want to rewatch the original series, and FINALLY watch the movie. The best part about it was obviously, original Yuki <3 and a pretty good opening & ending, definitely I will keep listening to it on my pc. 6/10 Genix said: IF anything, the worst thing is the Endless Eight reference at the end. I haven't read the manga, but it was just a joke and a reference. Kyon was like 'it's weird' and 'it feels like I'm forgeting sth' but it turns out at the end that it wasn't about any loop, but he just forgot to do his homework, lol. Well, at least that made me smirk a bit. |

| I did like this series, however, now that I look back on it, most of the parts I enjoyed were those that were related to the previous Haruhi anime. As much as I tried to get used to, like and understand the "new" Yuki, she was definitely the weakest link in this series for me. My favourite part was when alternate "original" Yuki appeared. Some scenes in this series I found were quite funny, most of which featured Koizumi. Overall, I would only recommend this series to those who greatly enjoyed the previous Haruhi Suzumiya anime. My prior attachment to the characters was what made me enjoy it. It is a spin-off, after all, and it definitely felt like one. |
Mirai, zura~!  |

| Average at best... This anime thoroughly wasted my time. 5/10 because I'm generous |
| What a bullshit ending 4/10 Haruhi S3 and Snow Mountain Syndrome when? |

| Dat ending |
| holy fuck, there were like 2 good episodes throughout the whole thing .-. good lord |
 |
| OH SNAP It's happening all over again, Endless Eight! Kyon-kun denwa~ To be honest that sure was a touch of nostalgia to the second season of Haruhi, good it didn't actually repeat itself :v However I must say that this last episode for a final was a bit easygoing, and rather weaker than I expected. It was still nice as an ending but I expected something else I think? I'm not sure what I was expecting to be honest. All in all this anime sure was a fun watch, it brought back some really pleasant memories of the first two Haruhi seasons especially around the 10th episode when the atmosphere changed all the sudden! Still I must say that I quite liked it and it was fun to see all the characters again! |
 |
| That fucking ending. THAT FUCKING ENDING. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Well..... That was boring and anticlimactic.... I liked the usage of the old bgm from original Haruhi season at least. Overall I just feel like the comedy throughout the whole anime was very dull. There was 3 good episodes , and it's the episodes that didn't try to bring in the comedy that were actually good.... I just feel like the directing is to blame. Yea the art style sucks , yea the characters have different personalities and act differently , both of those I can live with as it's an alternative universe. However the bad comedy is honestly the thing that made this series less and less enjoyable. The original Haruhi series had impact with it's comedy and was actually funny.... This however was extremely boring for me. 4/10 From me. I'll rather go read the source material and see how I find that as I genuinely like Nagato as a character. |
 |
| Ah, that was great. And that endless eight reference at the end lol!!!! 8/10 Possibly even a 9/10. I just really liked it....I don't even care. |
 |
| 6/10 at best HawkEye6591 said: LOLOLOL |
| Good thing they didnt do that stupid endless eight public pool event, most wasted episodes in an anime in my life well if they had to make the ending it should be the when Nagato other self disappeared and returned that would make the title of the anime have sense |
 |
| Liked that endless eight references. Made me remember the madness and the feeling of going insane. Overall the show was meh. Had its moments and not only in the Disappearance-arc, but that non-confession end showed again how toothless it was. Had fun seeing the characters again, most of them more or less the same personality-wise, but I never cared for Nagato that much (KyonxHaruhi for me) so I can only wait further on for a legit season 3 by KyoAni |
| Fuck this Kyon. I don't know this wishy-washy wimpy MC. Whoever wanted a Yuki-kyon pairing would also feel awkward seeing their whole forced interactions. Despite kyon being only interested as friends with yuki, he suddenly began to love yuki when she confessed??? Wtf |
