Can you even imagine if they were that literal with this gimmick to end it on the eighth episode? It would kind of be a little funny in a sad (for the anime industries creative processes) sort of way. Either way this has definitely been a low point in anime trends for me in recent years. Especially because by DVD time I'm sure it will prove beyond a reasonable doubt the theory that name and an ideal (moe?) tradition sells before anything else to the coveted Otaku demographic. A likely reality that I'm unsure if a lot of people are equipped to rationalize and accept when confronted by it face to face.
I just hope that in spite of nigh inevitable merchandising success that other companies will recognize the reason for it and not attempt a copycat of this gimmick. On with the show then..... |

So, it's basically Mr. Freeze and Batgirl's costume vs. The Swimming pool scene and Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki's many kimonos. Hhhmmm... tough choice. Looking at the worst... It's the freakin' Bat Credit Card and Bat nipples vs. Kyon becoming an utter imbecile and subtitles beginning to make my eyes bleed from familiarity. Again... tough choice. I will say, though, that this year's Haruhi could still be a better sequel than Batman and Robin if the last few episodes offer up something worthwhile. Kaioshin Sama - We'll see. I think that a lot of people may very well be counting KyoAni's income before it flows in when it comes to DVD sales. Seeing how the DVDs do will be very interesting - they may not do as well as you and some others think. |

I'll do the same in turn... if 20,000 is normal for a popular franchise name and brand, then I'm going to guess... 10,000 to 16,000. I think that Endless Eight is really going to hurt. I've seen people on this board proclaim that they were DVD buyers in the past for Haruhi but don't intend to pick up the Endless Eight DVDs. I've read this elsewhere as well. Personally, and to be brutally honest, I hope that Endless Eight hurts DVD sales. Because otherwise, you can expect animation studios to take a nasty lesson from this, and prepare yourself for some crappy cheap work from some of the bigger names in the anime industry... |

(This probably belongs in the regular 2009 thread as this has nothing to do with ep 8.) |

Reading through what I missed...
.... More qq than the average WoW forum board... ---------- Anyway, predicting loop number 15,529 and a non-ending in ~4.5 hrs.

Incidentally, the longer this goes on, the more I'm finding the reactions to the repetitions hilarious. It's either anger, despair, or a tired acceptance that the loops will continue.
Serious dejavu on my part, as I still remember how it was during EVA's first run... As for the DVD sales, if Kadokawa is really going through with releasing Endless Eight separately instead of bundled in with the other new episodes, well, it would be a surprise if they'd even break the 7000-unit sale mark. People on both sides of the Pacific are obviously angry, but we'll see if their wallets share their indignation.

Ack, okay, here posting my hopes that KyoAni has grown a brain or someone in the company with some financial acumen has threatened them on our behalf.
However I will also stick to my theory that the endless eight is a publicity stunt to market the reairing of the first season, and not the second season itself. |
