I didn't expect it to end, so I enjoyed it. KyoAni is really going above and beyond when it comes to the animation. I keep getting impressed by the angles they use and the new scenes they animate each episode to keep it visually entertaining. The playground scene made this episode.

So is this supposed to end next week or in three weeks?

The most recent rumour around is that Endless Eight has a 6 episode run. If it's true, it will end with the next episode. Then again, it is just as likely to be false so we don't know what to expect.

It's more fun watching the episode not knowing though, right? ^^; I definitely think so.

Eh, 2ch probably raged when the episode finished airing even more. They're far more annoyed by this because they've many more people who supported KyoAni/Kadokawa with buying their products all throughout season 1, and maybe already season 2 just from the first episodes (before they noticed this wouldn't end soon).

Most people leaving outside of Japan shouldn't complain as much as them since all that we've lost is personal time (I said most, there are of course people who buy online or even go all the way to Japan just for emptying their wallets); money spending 2ch and nico though (as we've seen with K-On! recently), on the other hand, surely feel they've gotten back stabbed, and it's more understandable than if someone just lost 20 minutes of his day.

I am really enjoing Endless Eight arc, part thanks to actuall KyoAni's bravery of making few almost the same episodes(I don't know if someone did a similar thing before in any series), and part of because thanks to those repeating episodes, it really really feels like a real time loop, it's the most suggestive "Groundhog Day" variaton I've ever seen, so I like it. :) Oh, and don't forget about those emotions near the end - will he figure it out this time or not? Will end or continue?

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.

Haha, I remember when all this started I was confused and skipped through half the episode because I thought I'd already seen it. Then I jumped over to MAL and noticed that I hadn't flagged it as watched so I must've made a mistake. Then I noticed slight differences in episodes and I realized they were doing this loop thing.

I honestly think it's pretty cool. Sure, it might be seen as boring but each time I watch a new episode I try to spot differences or make out things that hint at an end to the loop. Being as thick as I am I rarely catch onto anything but anyway. It's cool! I know I should have paid more attention to the "This is number 155xx" or what not loop so that I could make out the order of the episodes but not sure if that's important. In any case, it'll be interesting to see when it finally moves on and what'll trigger that to happen.

This was along with the second episode easily the best of this arc. Loved the different scenes, angles, and bgm which to me keep the episodes entertaining even though the plot is the same.

Only thing I was/am worried about concerning the lenght of this arc was that they'd skip other novel chapters which I'm looking forward to seeing animated, but if the 42 episode run rumor is true then all well.

I'm sure you noticed, since I noticed it in the first Endless Eight Episodes... but the frog costume Mikuru wears in these episodes is the same from Someday in the Rain. These episodes basically showed how Haruhi got ahold of the costume:

it just makes me so fucking mad that they would show kyon fail over and over again rather that show him get out of the time loop in just one episode, and get on with the series that used to be good. BUT NO they made 3 not 1 not 2 but 3 filler episodes in a row and didn't change the plot AT ALL.

Just to let you guys know that we MIGHT have an OVA/series with 10 episodes which will be title as The Disappearances of Haruhi Suzumiya?

Charmed at first sight lover ep. 6
SMS ep. 7,8
Where did the cat go? ep. 9
Special-The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya Prologue ep. 10

It might come out after the end of season 1.

I feel sorry for the FMP fans.

I've never been so pissed off at a show. I'm 7 episodes behind and decided to marathon today. What a giant waste of fucking time. After episode 2 and 3 I decided to skim through it. I don't get why Haruhitard's love this shit of a show. I'd watch season 1 again instead of this.

I was more entertained by Higurashi's 2 weeks of repeat. At least it had fucking effort.

I'm fascinated by the fact that so many are still watching, still commenting, hating it but still hanging in there - this is very special.

No other anime, particularly one that was off the air for three years could pull this off. For all the "I'm outta here" forum posts and the 1/10 votes people are still commenting, still watching - unbelievable.

After the arc is over - people will constantly be watching it over and over to see if they can discover more subtle changes between the episodes - this is going to be a classic.

At the end of each episode, Kyon just leaves the whole situation behind and gives up on it. That kinda reminded of myself. Like giving up on my homework :p

Even though I want this thing to end soon, I'm still enjoying Endless Eight, if only cus I like seeing all the subtle changes from episode to episode. Regardless of how stupid this arc is, you gotta give KyoAni credit for keeping the show visually interesting and at least somewhat entertaining.

Of course, there's still no chance in hell they're getting my money when the DVD comes around.

Ever watched those unusually long jokes in Family Guy? The ones that sometimes vacillate between funny and unfunny and back to funny again. (The chicken fight episode comes to mind or the really long Shipoopi song.)

This is how I feel about Endless Eight. I didn't mind Episode 3, I was annoyed with 4, still annoyed with 5 and somehow passive about Episode 6. I agree with the person who said we're part of a test.

"This is a test of the Endless Eight Emergency System. If this has been a real Endless Eight Emergency, you would've been content with watching the same episode 15,500+ times. However, since it is not, your memory only serves to infuriate you as you bear witness to The Denseness of Kyon."

Now that I think of it, why would Haruhi want to have a relationship with a guy who needs to go through the same thing 15,500+ times to finally get it?

or

Is it that Haruhi is bending reality to get Kyon to finally kick it up a notch in the relationship. Wakaranai... wakaranai.

i'm happy that i never was a hardcore fan of Haruhi, as it's easier to enjoy Endless Eight without any hopes etc, just take it as it is and find some things to think about every episode (as they do have rather different themes and moods).
call me weird if you like to :)


well valid points! nothing weird about that.
