all i could say is!
nobody ever promised / confirmed a certain amount of episodes for the "Re-airing" so why is everyone worrying about Sighs being shafted? (or even Disappearance) let's all wait 'til it's all over, ne? oh, and one more thing, KYON-KUN, DENWA~~~ hahaha |

well if it was never confirmed then it's as good as moot
best thing to do right now is to watch every episode live that way you still get excited XD especially around the end! (provided you don't see how many minutes left there is) |

It's interesting how a fair number of people, AnimeSuki and in general, are annoyed by the anti-Endless Eight crowd and describe them as bitching, griping, etc. People on AnimeSuki bitch about everything. We bitch about Shana II having the audacity to focus on the relationships between the main characters instead of Fuzetsu battles (Which tend to be about as exciting as watching Yuki read in Someday in the Rain), we bitch about K-ON not placing enough focus on the music, we bitch about Saki not always properly adhering to the rules of Mahjong, but somehow it's the backlash against Endless Eight that people end up considering obnoxious.
I've been enjoying the Endless Eight arc and I'm probably going to enjoy today's episode as well, but I don't see anything unreasonable in the least about feeling otherwise. It's the same episode five going on six times in a row (Not counting the original iteration, it's too different); if there's ever been a valid excuse for fan backlash, this is it. And unlike some of the previous examples, where people could comment on a whole lot of things but stick to 'wtf this sucks', these episodes are pretty much the same (Minus the minor details which I'm not that interested in), so it's not as though there's a huge wealth of material to discuss. The emotional progression could be an interesting source of conversation... Yuki Endless Eight 1 Yuki Endless Eight 4 ... but that seems to have disappeared with 5, which was closer in mood to the earlier episodes. Speaking of which, what's the tone of Endless Eight 6 like? Lighter like the odd-numbered episodes, or more dark and sinister and etc. like the second and fourth? |

The thing is at this stage it's just getting more and more unimaginably pointless and wasteful. Though some people might be going LOL TROLL HILARIOUS, people are just loosing interest and importantly like so many other shitty anime, the time and money put into this could be put into something worthwhile.
I'm really starting to get angry not just because of fanboy rage, but because it's so ridiculously wasteful in a time we should really not be. |

I have often heard that animation studios/production companies think that otaku have precisely a three year memory. If we take that to be true (that they believe it, not that otaku really do have a three year memory), then a re-airing of a three-year-old anime about to get a sequel is a really good idea. The question then became: What order? Goodness did that argument last long. But the kicker was this: for the next season, they really wanted Disappearance to be the highlight, and it would be... nowhere special among the planned new episodes. So why not air in chronological order and start adding in stories that fit in that area? Obvious problem: there aren't enough episodes to just 'slot in' and end with Someday in the Rain at the end of a doubled reairing (I think anime brackets are generally purchased in cours). So what to do about that... Endless Eight. Oh, genius! We can finish the reairing with a reaired episode (namely, Someday in the Rain), and begin Season Two where that left off. And thus, the egg that birthed the nerdrage seen here was born. Thoughts?

So anyway, yes -- I'll certainly buy that theory, and would bet that we'll see a true second season within a year. |

So, with this, Kadokawa has succeeded in animating a 45 page short story in more episodes than the entire Melancholy, a full novel.
I'm just watching the total rating for this season plummet. Even if they come up with perfect 10 material for the rest of the season, they've already crapped up 1/2 the season, so it's an instant 5 or lower. >.>

Otaku = Anime nerd (I use neither of these terms derogatorily, I hasten to add - I myself am an anime nerd to a certain extent) Nerds never forget anything that's related to something that they're interested in. That's one of the key characteristics of nerds - their ability to remember the most mundane details of their favorite shows several years after they last aired. So... otaku don't have a three-year old memory. The continuing immense popularity of Neon Genesis Evangelion proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. If anime studios seriously think that otakus have three-year old memories (especially when it comes to a series as popular as Haruhi Suzumiya) then they have even bigger problems than I thought. |

Well, as the episodes repeat themselves with minute variations, as my opinion on them doesn't change a lot :
Impressive work, impressive technical qualities, impressive balls/daringness, and, most of all, impressive waste and boringness. I can perfectly understand the innovation point of view. I can perfectly understand the narrative attempt "make viewers feel what Yuki feels". I can perfectly understand the artistic challenge "let's make the same episode, but never reuse the same images/angles". All this, I understand. I can even appreciate. Though, I have a hard time understanding how anyone can NOT feel that the concepts, as interesting as they can be, have been excessively stretched - beyond the point of rupture, and that was several weeks ago. That some can appreciate, more power to them - but to find surprising that other do not ? I mean, repeating so many times the same episode, it's perhaps fun/interesting/innovative in theory, but it's just soul-crushingly annoying/boring when you do view it - for a great deal of people at least. But the real shame is the waste. So much talent, so much work, so much money, wasted on a repeat of the same episode... A pity. The whole thing feels like a giant /facepalm. The inner serie itself seem to have been relegated in the background, with the main point of this season being the "troll" that Endless Eight has become. Isn't it sad to see that the most fun people seem to have in viewing the (pun intended) endless repetitions, is how much rage it will generate in others ? My common sense says that a serie should be viewed for itself, not for the reactions of the fans. Anyway, I'm disappointed and sad about the waste. This whole "re-airing" seems to have been a huge commercial stunt, which always leave a bad taste when you just want to see a good show. |

disregard that (″°-°)ﺩ-

Your writing moves me to tears. It is definitely true (whilst comparing the first airing to the second) that they're trying to blow up all our expectations and speculations, so it's best to have none. Therefore, there is no dissapointment.
