KyoAni is training us for time loop experiences.

Everybody whining so far has FAILED!

When I think training, I don't think dogs. I think soldiers, atheletes, sportsmen and everything human.

If Haruhi was aboard the Enterprise, there would've been no time loop because between exploding the shuttle bay and using a tractor beam, Haruhi would choose exploding the shuttle bay no questions asked.

Maybe in the next episode, another studio will attempt to tell their story of Endless Eight.

Perhaps all major Japan animation studios will do an iteration of Endless Eight, and Haruhi will truly be a Japan-wide collaboration.

Look forward to Gonzo, Sunrise, J.C Staff doing their iterations of Endless Eight!

Yes, I'm getting crazy here. Ignore me.

I'm pretty sure this is my first post in this thread, but why do I have the feeling that it isn't?

ZOMG! They're training us for the coming time loop in 2012!!!!111

I think the DVD should just show the Endless Eight episodes all at once via split-screen.

LumpOfCole · 2009-07-04, 11:10

I don't think there was a homework reference in this episode, by the way. That part I did find odd.

(Where Haruhi mentions it I mean)

That actually sounds like an awesome uber idea! I won't mind Haruhi creating a Gundam

Suika-Esper · 2009-07-04, 11:48

Alright, now they're just trolling. I really hoped Kyon would do something to change it at the end, but it looks like they're going to do 8 looping episodes of Endless Eight or something. Who knows. The animation is beautiful as always, but seeing the same episode over again gets annoying. I'm sick of Kyon's apathetic approach by now after repeating this over and over. You'd think he'd finally get fed up and do something about it. What a lazyass.

Well, if they are actually planning to do more episodes of this, then I think they should do it all the way. Make a serious reference to Groundhog day and show Kyon doing all sorts of crazy things to attempt escaping the time loop.

OkamiNoKaze · 2009-07-04, 12:10

I think we just need to change our mindset for the next episode for those that stick around for this ride, go into it knowing full well the high probablity of it repeating again, that way it'll be awesome if they actually solve it

When some time loop experience occur, i'll leave for "me" to do something, i don't want to take part on it.

... and how are they different from dogs?

Because I also feel that KyoAni/Kadokawa have no respect for the audience and try to push whatever is cheaper to produce (or in Haruhi's case not).

... and that would be the point when the unthinkable will become certainty and the fans of the novels will drop the show!

risingstar3110 · 2009-07-04, 12:53

Wow, the ep is all fun. I really like how Kyon's sister keeps remind him "Kyon-kun, Denwa" even when he was holding the phone for the entire time. I envy with him that he has such cute sister

Haruhi herself was cute in her two pieces swimsuit, and the SOS brigade in yukata were epic win. Haha i love Kyon's face expression when he knows Haruhi finished all of the homeworks in only 3 days.
What's an unexpectable turn of the event, so the SOS Brigade has trapped in the time loop for more than 15000 times. Wow, and Yuki has to spend the last 600 years repeating things over and over again. It must be real suck isn't it. Lucky that i haven't checked the novels otherwise it probably will spoil me that.At the end, I was hoping Kyon can stop Haruhi or something, but i guess we have to wait until next Ep

10/10 as usual

PS: The ep really got into me, as I kept having dejavu feeling that i sat here alone and watched this EP before..... Probably thank to the animation and directoring KyoAni offered, i guess

superzombie23 · 2009-07-04, 13:40

Wow, this episode was a pathetic pathetic filler version of ep. 3. Characters are drawn worse XD Shouldn't have even bothered watching.

risingstar3110 · 2009-07-04, 14:27

Ok, after 17 pages reading and calmed myself down a bit, now is for some serious comments of the Ep......
This EP clearly diverge the fan opinions, and i can see ppl frustrating, and as heck i also did (when i wrote up the previous post). The insanity surely crept into me by the time i finished, and there are moments when i start to wonder "have Ep 14 is the 3rd or the 4th repetition?"

But after rest my head a bit, i start to appreciate the effort/ trolling/ risk KyoAni did. For those who skipped and get straight to the ending to see if there is one, you will never experience what i have.
Spent 20 minutes try to enjoy and spot the difference of old screens, were so sure that it will wrap things up and it finally gonna be over. Saw Kyon jumped off his chair to reach Haruhi, laughed at the fact KyoAni makes it so dramatic because we all knew he will get her anyway... But wait, "why it take so long". One second...... 2...... 3..... oh shit don't tell me.....*****.....he failed". Looked at the time, "there're still be 2 minutes, they can skip the ED, no they only needs 20 secs to telll us it ended and explain in later arc (maybe Kyon did something off- screen)". But no, it's the ED, epic failed , "what's the heck going on here".........
It's like watching a soccer match and you wishes your favourite teams gonna score one every minute for the final 3 mins to win. Then desperate seeing time ticked to last seconds.... But realised all of those are intentions and laugh at how they really was success playing with your line of thought

Whether this will works for all of Haruhi's community, i don't know, so let the DVD sale answer. But this remind me the same taste of EP 00, and of the freaky aired order of S1; and somehow make S2 of Haruhi becomes a little more unique, more memorable, the things that i will want it to be. 12 hours agos, i started to have doubts as how Suzumiya Haruhi may becomes a little bit duller as Umineko gonna surprise the audience with its "suspended cliff-hangers" genre. Now Haruhi take the lead again

PS: even I rewatched S1 a lots of time, and i appreciate what EP 00 bring to the series as a whole. It still really was hard to get through Ep 00 every time . History gonna repeat, i think

Studio DEEN already have their version up and running again.

-Sho- · 2009-07-04, 14:42

Yeah , episode 4 was kinda "cheap" . Economic crisis's effect ?

Kyoani is training us ? wtf are you talking about ... an anime who trains us ... training like athletes , sportmen , soldiers ? loool .... it was funny though

Ithekro · 2009-07-04, 14:44

Well...consider that the only two new storyline so far have dealt with some form of time travel...yeah I'd call it training....or a pattern.

Ekul · 2009-07-04, 15:26

You know, while this episode made me a little unhappy with the extra episode, I must admit that from a DVD standpoint it works better in that they see them at the same time rather than having to wait another entire week. I would like this far better if I had seen them back to back.
