I really didn't mind this arc since I have absolutely nothing to do, so I kinda looked forward to the episodes, even if they were 99% identical. I loved Kyon's little outburst and Haruhi's reaction at the end of this episode haha, I liked how everything came about....I should probably get started on my summer assignments as well... D:
Overall, I liked the arc. ;P

Better words were never said,
the six minutes of bland 'triumph' just left me feeling unsatisfied and flat.
This entire arc could have been done in two episodes, and in a MUCH more interesting fashion,
At this point Haruhi will really have to wow me next episode for me to not entirely drop this ridiculous excuse for a series

Oh well... I'm used to this.... Bur hey... the risks were taken... Are done... Is done... It finished... I don't have the right to complain, nor is the time.... What I only can say is that finally lame Kyon made his homework and finally did something useful!!! I'm happy for him.... Since I knew of the end of this arc, I thought it was lame but executed perfectly well.... either Kado/KyoAni threw over board the whole concept of the endless eight.... I was never happy witht the idea of the thing repeating over and over again... but hey... They didn't great... I mean they always did different animations for each chapter, they gave the characs different clothes.... Changed some scenes... The dialogues were not exactly the same.... Oh well

So the episode was nice again... Kyon-kun denwa was cute as ever... Mikuru in a one piece is okay... *drools* I loved Haruhi's frilly swimsuit... But Am I wrong or did Nagato used that swimsuit in another repetition of the E8? I dunno I feel I've seen her on it before.... Mikuru was super moe .... Her mourning was super cute... And... another big difference I noticed was that Haruhi was not seated in her usual seat in the restaurant... That actually helped Kyon decide himself and make haruhi pissed... Man I loved Kyon's and Haruhi's outbursts! Ohoho... Haruhi looked like jealous of them.... Well of Kyon... and....Kyon... Oh and the raining scene... that one was... Bizarre... I liked it too... Oh I loved a lot Yuki's last Yukata

My fave Yukatas are:
Haruhi 4th (the black one... Really suits her)
Yuki 8th (my... another suitable Yukata!!!)
Mikuru 2nd or 7th (boobs are the reason XD)

BYE E8... FOREVER!

Is it because it felt forced, needlessly over the top, and like it was just done that way so it would stand out in the hopes that it would be what people remembered about Endless Eight, but instead ended up feeling limp-wristed,insincere and half hearted?

Endless Eight will continue next week, you're all just falling for the bait XD. Episode 10 will have like a 1000 replies I bet with most posts reacting to how far they've fallen into the troll hole.

Lol, but if it has ended, thank goodness, we can all enjoy Haruhi again like the old days.

Well, we all survived the Endless Eight. XD If anyone is bitter, at least we can say we are patient enough to handle watching practically the same episode 8 times. (Oh lawdie) haha Thank God it's over though. Seriously. I couldn't help but laugh a little when the lighthearted, jolly music started playing as Kyon finally suggested doing their homework. =P

I'll miss my weekly endless eight fix. After saying shortly "fu" to the computer because endless eight didn't end reading the forums was allways brightening my mood because of reading all the complaints of endless eight.

btw. I enjoyed the ending of this episode, couldn't help myself but laughing out really loud while haruhi and kyon were shouting at each other.

was it just me or did this endless eight episode look like a final episode to anyone else because of the missing of the ending song and the dialogue between kyon and itsuki?

anyways I'm greatly looking forward to the next episode and looking forward to haruhi's sigh

This arc was indeed quite awesome, all the kudos to Kyoani/Kadokawa for being able to pull off something this ridiculously crazy. And now I know you're all gonna be like "lol idiot, retard, wtf u sayn this sucked balls" and stuff but the best part is that you still watched it. Despite the fact that it was in essence the same ep over and over again we still watched it and that is why they win. I watched it all the way and I loved how they did it, I mean they had to do something to outshine the messed-up airing order in the first season, and I think they did pretty good. But I am glad that it came to an end and I hope we will see something new next week.
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

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.


+1

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 agree completely this season has been better than the first.

I love the reactions of the fanboys. Basically you are still thinking that this "ark" was good. WHAT ARK? What are you talking about? There was NO ARK because it was THE SAME EPISODE OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It was a GOOD episode, yeah! Even this "last" episode was THE SAME asd the others, they just added a 30 seconds scene.

This is not even an anime. This is a commercial so that Kadokawa can sell haruhi related merchandise.

3/5, because indeed it was a fine episode.

We waited 8 weeks for them to just get their ass down and do homework. Oh joy >_>

KyoAni prolly ran out of money and thus reused Mikuru, Haruhi and Koizumi's speeches for 7 weeks, with only Yuki and Kyon's speechs slightly altered each week.

EHHH?

That's it? Now I really feel kind of trolled with such an anticlimactic disappointing end. To make so many episodes for this lame arc. 2 or 3 episodes would have been plenty. Dropped it from an 8 to a 7 for such a really lame arc, though of course the idea is crazy, brave, original and dumb.

It can only get better from here ... ^^

Phew~ It's like an intensive workout~
The final part of the ep was actually quite good,
especially with Kyon's memory flooding into his head
at the last moment (good animation).
The royal flush at the end of the episode was a nice
little touch as well~
Now I can look forward to the next episode

Good enough.. 7 and a half eps of repeating itself really made the ending standout, I guess imo. But was it worth it? Probably not.

Good episode though.

GODDAMN! Finally... it was the most retarded ending and I was getting pissed at Kyon for interrupting Yuki when she was explaining how many times they did what. If he just let her keep on going she would have mentioned that they had the meeting multiple times. But aside from the retarded ending I'm VERY glad it's over. Now we get to watch normal ol Haruhi.

One of the biggest (and bet) trolls ever in the History of Japanese animation has finally ended. Once again, I was lucky enough to witness it each week ;) Great ending and a good episode as usual in this arc (but two or three episodes were better directed than this one to be honest).

Same for me. It has been a fun Endless Eight ride these past two months.

So now the Endless Eight arc is finally over and it was an absolute waste of using eight episodes to see a rather meh conclusion. This arc clearly would have been much better if they used 2-4 episodes, but 8 episodes is just way too much. x_X

*sigh* I can only hope that the rest of the season will turn out well. (-_-)

You do realize that this isn't a very economical commercial if they reanimated each episode completely like they did.

KyoAni did it for the lulz. And also for the reactions we saw the last few weeks.

i totally loved it.
I think people need to see the whole picture, nog only: o 8 episodes the same. Thats not is!
The ending was great, by the first episode i thought, joh go make your homework, and each episode at the end i thought the same! And then at the end they did their homework, totally loved it.

Oke, i really want to see new stuf and so but i think this was great, its was new never done before in any other anime and i love the moment when they said: say I LOVE YOU to her. And he refused, and when the other guy say maybe i should say it, he was quiet.
I think you could see a lot of things in these episodes, maybe a couple to many episodes but people should just accept it and enjoy:)

Now lets wait for the next one! a new one so people should just not complain any more, if the next one sucks, then i understand that you go complaining.
Shit happens.

And fanboys around the world rejoice. =P

It's probably because I was wise enough not to watch through every reiteration of Endless Eight with the utmost attention, but I found the fact they used the three most dramatic songs they used thus far for the rather simple ending and aftermath to this arc quite funny. Those pieces might as well have be playing inside the heads of everyone who was brave, masochistic, crazy, etc. enough to watch through all 8 episodes of Endless Eight as they were watching those scenes.

With such ending.. I just had to laugh. The ending was quite funny and I laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Finally it's over! It was a frustrating arc. I really want to compliment Kyo Ani for all his work he has done.. with the clothing. Maybe that was the only reason I could watch the episodes after the first. Summerhomework.. what a simple solution
