Endless Eight.....hmm maybe they are going to try to make it 8 episodes.

typhonsentra · 2009-07-02, 14:37

I gave the last episode a 1 by the way. This time I'll give it a 10, just to be different.

The Endless Summer of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Kyoani warned us from the very beginning...Just check the opening...

Count the number of "8" and you will see....4!!!! The number of episodes for Endless "Eight"...I discovered that while doing my usual review....

That could work if that symbol isn't for infinity.

Endless = Infinity ...

Probably they use 8 to represent the infinity sign...pure symbolism! It makes sense for the title of the arc..."Endless eight"

Fushichou7 · 2009-07-02, 15:24

I was very irritated by this episode...

Out of the 14 episodes that they have available, they have spent what, 3 or 4 episodes on the same story that, in the novels, was a short story? What is KyoAni thinking here? I don't think 'troll' is the right explanation to this; I think they are being lazy.

Which brings me back to my original thought that they probably never wanted to make a second season in the first place...

Vexx · 2009-07-02, 15:27

..... have you read the "short story" as you call it? You might try another piece of science fiction called "Thrice Upon a Time" by Hogan. Hint: at one point I thought I had a misprinted book til I kept reading and flipping back and forth to realize what was going on.

Fushichou7 · 2009-07-02, 15:28

Yes, I have, but as I see you are about to attack me for making any response, I refuse to get into this.

Tyabann · 2009-07-02, 15:53

1/10.

What the fuck, seriously.

I'm not "quitting", because I have too much to do here, but I'm so fucking angry.

Yes, we don't know anything, "Just As Planned", hahaha.

So yeah, we're probably not getting anything but Endless Eight this season.

Congrats, KyoAni, you've just lost another fan.

Now where the HELL is that tenth novel? Oh wait, that'll probably be a troll too.

Yeah, this series is pretty much my life, and now it's pretty well dead to me.

THAAAAAANKS KYOANI

^ Hahaha, it's because of reactions like that that this stunts are so welcomed by me.

You know what? Nothing I say can really make me look good anymore.

Just screw it.

Proto · 2009-07-02, 16:04

Sorry, I think I went overboard a little, but I actually feel like applauding KyoAni for having the guts to pull this out. I mean, I think we can all get the artistic joke of stretching this out in order to give the watchers the same feeling of endless loop as the protagonist, but one thing is to say it and another to execute it, risking the backslash of the fanbase. I actually wish them the best for this to work out.

Fushichou7 · 2009-07-02, 16:07

Although it can be seen as slightly amusing, the issue here is that they made us wait 2 years for something that many people really wanted. Now, they are wasting away the episodes they have with obvious fillers.

If I may say it, that only increases the beauty of it all to me. It's obvious that Kyoani can also see this, which makes it all the more amusing. You just have to have a cynical mindset to appreciate this I guess:

Fenrir_valindri · 2009-07-02, 16:16

I loled, I really did, if I wasn't exhausted from my cold, I would probably be more frustrated.

The only thing that frustrates me is having to wait another week for the next episode, although I admit the thought of them making these episodes actually count as "multiple" episodes of this season is a bit frustrating.

Takamura Mamoru · 2009-07-02, 16:18

It just occured to me that this is still officially being called a "re-air". A "remake" of Season 1 with "new animation" or something like that.. And officially, the second season is "dropped".

You know what I think? There's not going to be any "Disappearance". Seriously. All their going to do is add all stories that are chronologically in between, but nothing beyond "Someday In The Rain".

It sound ridiculous, but this is what I think may happen. Endless Eight, Sighs and that's it.

If this actually happens I don't know how I'll react.

Fenrir_valindri · 2009-07-02, 16:21

Murderous rage? If we don't get Disappearance with all the hints for it and development of Yuki, it will be quite annoying.

khryoleoz · 2009-07-02, 16:21

And it might neither be 8 nor infinity. Maybe a few episodes from now, we're gonna see a line slash through the middle of the two loops.
