im pretty sure endless eight is pretty long cuz:

1. KyoAni made the disappearance arc first, since it was the first one to be told to the "news"
2. Kyo Ani made the sighs second, since it was an entire novel
3. The only way to fill up the rest would be to make more Endless Eight.
im pretty sure EE will end next week, and kyon will succeed in his 6th time.

this is just my speculation btw.
but i think it makes sense if u think like this.
kyoani wanted to fill up the eps well, since they wanted to end the new 14eps with the Disappearance.the only, although not great, best way was to make more EE.

The problem is not about how much epsiodes will be use for endless eight is about how much episodes will left voor de other story in season 2. If there is only 14 new epsiodes then i can only say they sucks.

Mostly your right....

1.Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (worked on 2007)
2.Disappearance (worked on 2008)
3.Sighs (worked on 2008 and 2009)
4.Endless Eight ( worked on 2009)

Mostly there some parts to change?

1. KyoAni made the Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody arc first, since it was the first one to be told to the "news"
2. Kyo Ani made the Disappearance second, since it was an entire novel and was second to be told to the "news"
3. Kyo Ani made the sighs third, since it was an entire novel.
4.The only way to fill up the rest would be to make more Endless Eight.

[...]there are two ways to make a good anime - either think up something no one else has ever thought up, or to execute it beautifully.


src: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=65034&show=40#msg2580223

Perhaps, the way Endless Eight have been made - that it is rather unique in the sense that no other anime has purposefully had consecutive episodes that have at least 95% identical content in each of these episodes - would eventually make Haruhi Season 2 a good anime.

(or maybe, no one else has ever thought of repeating the same episode at least 5 times because it simply is a suicidal move? hmm...)

I didn't read through the past posts but does anyone else but me pick up that an 8 turned on it's side is the symbol for infinity. Kinda makes the title make sense. I thought about it when Kyon was drawing it.

About the only joy I got from this episode was laughing at Itsuki in a speedo.

Once again we have been troll'd, Itsuki in a speedo was just funny. I find it funny that some people didn't know that the 8 means the infinity sign sideways until now, hence the title 'Endless Eight'.

This season is so much fail. Very few will buy the season on dvd and the few that do will simply be considered fanboy idiots

Personally I'm not even watching this again until ep 8-9 when this stops (I haven't watched ep 5 and 6). Also this won't be getting higher score than 5 from me no matter what comes after this and if the reason for the timeloop is something like "haruhi wanted to do summer homework with Kyon" then I will drop the rating to 1-2.

If they burn it down, then they definitely won't get more Haruhi episodes and they'll have to continue airing Endless Eight to make up for the missing episodes. xDi

Well, several little goodies and lots of stunning visuals this time around making it a really unique and very good repetition.

But it's still a repetition with lots of boring parts. I really think it's stupid to do it one more time in this episode. Since they will likely make a difference only in the last part of the next episode and still need one more episode to resolve all of this they seem to really make endless eight an 8 episode arc. I'm not a big fan of this idea, but I won't cry over spilt milk. It seems we are pretty much over the mountain and the things we really waited for will soon come.

Personally I can't understand all the guys running wild over this. It's just an anime show. Not worth burning any homes or getting angry about.

I know it's Kadokawa's fault but their name is 8 letters long, KyoAni only has six. I'm trying to win back the time I lost to Endless Eight by saving those two letters every time.

I don't even particularly like Haruhi, I'm just trying to throw some more oil into the fire and get the discussion back into action. It's been getting too quiet around here...

Oh well, I enjoyed the episode again. The alternations were really nice and funny, and the outfits looked awesome again. Just like the backgrounds. KyoAni is still kickass. Other than that, my opinion's not changed.


Oh and can you novel bitches put your spoilers in spoiler tags? Thanks, idiots.

the episodes are all called the endless eight.
so of course it's not going to end until episode eight sillies.
I personally love this idea, only the creators of Haruhi Suzumiya would be gutsy enough to try and pull this off. It's a hard task to accomplish, repeating so much and still making it interesting and full of life.
Plus we get to see a lot more into the character of Nagato :D

Just so you know: That moonphase quote you're throwing around doesn't mean what you think it does. All it says is this:

"If they end up adding a cour so it's 42 episodes instead of 28, then I wouldn't mind if Endless Eight goes on all the way through August."

No announcement, no inside information. You should have learned by now that information about Haruhi is always kept secret until the last moment.

I'm so pissed at Kyon. UGH. I thought he was going to stop her! It repeated itself quite a lot at the end. That confused me a lot.

AND LOL Itsuki was in a speedo xDD

Itsuki in a speedo & the playground scene was basically all I enjoyed. Everything else was crap... but I must continue. -.-

Oh, and "The number you have called has been..." lolz @ Kyon's voice.

3/5, definitely.

This is news to me.


I lold hard at this whole thing

First of all, I saw that the directing and camera angles were better, probably the best ep out of the total 6 right now. Anyways:

I lol'd hard at realizing this WILL be the same
I lol'd hard seeing the pool episode
I lol'd hard seeing Nagato and Kyon
I LMAO'D seeing Haruhi scribble 8 on the paper (KyoAni gestures that they are sick of EE as well :D)
I thought that last scene of Haruhi leaving would be repeated 8 times (endless eight anyway)
I lol'd hard at the ending, nice camera angles though.

Also, Koizumi's "I love you" had a different tone today, which was at least funnier.

Best arc ever: Endless Eight

I bet KyoAni and Kadokawa are planning a brilliant conspiracy. To make Kadokawa look at fault that is and then those angry at KyoAni will get angry at Kadokawa and <3 <3 <3 KyoAni because they tried variety.

Then to further our enjoyment, 6 ep of the same plot were made to simply 1. Make us laugh at fanrage, 2. spot the difference and 3. laugh at the fanrage.

Simple as that isn't it?

How many people will REALLY drop this show? As in, drop it and never watch it again? Ten to one that you'll come crawling back to this show once Endless Eight is over (heck, some already confirmed they would). If you do, then you're not dropping it, but stalling.

Also, if this were any other show, people would've dropped it at episode 2 or 3 and not bother watching more. So what exactly makes Haruhi different that you keep on watching every episode over and over again despite knowing you hate them?

I'm still not tired of these, still love the differences they put in and I still love the nerdrage from the fanboys. True, I wouldn't mind seeing other stuff now, but I can handle more of the same if needed.

meh I'm not dropping it just waiting for this to end (haven't downloaded the last two episodes and won't donwload a episode until I hear it is the final one of this crap)

Many are doing that, some are watching maybe like the last five minutes instead of the whole episodes and other also fast forward over huge parts of each ep. Kind of kills the episodes when only chosen few bother to watch it from start to finish.

Bet this will also hit hard on the dvd sales

You have it wrong. The nerds and fanboys are on opposing sides.

I don't really watch it either I just let it play and read manga or something. And what's your problem anyway, why do you care what people choose to do with their time? If they say it sucks let them. I mean I haven't heard any sound arguments for thinking this season is any good other than "It's Haruhi", and that's not exactly a good argument.

I don't know if someone brought it up already, but I just thought - what if it's not Haruhi's doing? But, for example, Kyon doesn't want vacations to end, cause he didn't do his homework?:D It would explain why he always feels indebted to Nagato, cause he subconsciously knows that bacause of him, she has to do the same thing each and everytime and she remembers all of it.

THIS!
I got the same Idea! He seems to feel somehow responsible for the endless time loop!


All in all I still enjoy the show a lot. :]
