Will Kadokawa's HQ survive afterwards though? The clock is ticking. Frankly I got frustrated, not at the repeat itself, but with KYON. I mean, seriously, what he needed to do seemed to be obvious to everyone but his bullheaded self. He just doesn't... want to do anything on his own, ne? I guess spontaeneity isn't his strong point.

I think much of the story establishes quite clearly that Kyon is an obstinate butthead ... but some sort of strong personality is required for his fate.

This is the first time I ever gave a 1 to haruhi episode but this one really deserves it. This is one repeat too much.
If the next episode does not end endless eight, I am seriously considering stop watching....

I'm so conflicted.
The same things happened with minor variations. I should consider KyoAni lazy for this. But they redrew practically everything. If there was any stock footage used at all, I couldn't tell. KyoAni is clearly trolling their fans. Where's the Picard facepalm jpeg when you need it... ? |

That's the thing, there wasn't a single bit of stock footage at all. Which makes this VERY expensive if it was just to troll viewers. Also, what we're having here is very likely nothing compared to the firestorm going on in 2ch right now.

Bad news, everyone - I just checked my calendar and today is June 19th. We just *think* we're being played with by KyoAni...
For those wondering about earlier time loop stories, the closest I've read is Philip Dick's "A Little Something for us Tempunauts". Spoiler for for that story:
I for one don't mind this drawn-out approach: as a comparison, I've re-watched the 80's He-Man cartoon (aimed at 5-8 year olds) - it has some episodes that set up some really interesting scenarios that, with more time and an older audience, could be tunred into something really dramatic. But then they run out of time and have a mostly pointless deus ex machina ending. So I completely buy the idea that drawing this out is a good way to give drama to it. (when each week the world is in dire straights, how do you make one week more dire than the last?) |

Guys, just because the studio was trying to be creative doesn't mean that their creativity is well done. This episode earns a 2/10, and I have never rated a Haruhi episode below a 7/10. I'm just going to act like this episode never existed in the first place.
I find it incredibly stupid that they had to rehash the same idea all over again. We already got the point that it seems to be a hopeless situation, in which we just want to get out of this recursion of time. I suppose what really bothers me is that this offered no extra material. Even though last episode was also a recursion episode, we still got to see new things. They do not need to animate an episode for the audience to understand that this is what has been happening over and over again. This episode was EPIC FAIL. I didn't wait these years to see 4 or possibly more endless night episodes..............

Still surprised that people haven't been figuratively screaming BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD yet. There's clearly disappointment (especially considering disproportionate amount of low scores given versus middling or high ones) but... I was expecting fire and brimstone. Ah.
Mmm, Yuki, what makes you tick? Why haven't you gone Hinamizawa Syndrome level 5 yet and murdered everyone? Or is your revenge for the mind-numbing repretition reserved for later in the series?

I actually haven't given this episode a score yet, but it's probably the worst episode of Haruhi for me yet (I'm one of those people who didn't like Episode 00, I still haven't actually completely watch that episode so I might be contradicting myself lol)... but if we were to consider that all E8 episodes were one episode then it'd probably get a higher score.
Heck I was expecting an almost an entire repeat of the previous episode, all I wanted was One Significant line of text they skiped from the short story that wasn't included last episode and I would've been happy and given it a decent score, at least that way we're actually going somewhere... although very slowly, although it'd make sense since 15,000 + iteration have already occured. I also wondered why Kyon hasn't pointed out why Yuki isn't holding or reading a book... when she isn't occupied with something else, she ALWAYS holding a book to read that might've been a huge give away that something is definitely not right.

Kyon complains about Haruhi magnifying minor things to a universal scale, but it's pretty much projection on his part; at least she doesn't know her subconscious wishes are coming to fruition, but Kyon doesn't have that excuse. He's fully aware that time will keep looping and Yuki will keep suffering if he doesn't do something as simple and minor as asking her for advice (or listening to Itsuki's), but lets it continue anyway. |

Only fanboys/girls would give this episode high rating.I think this whole season has been a waste of time to watch but this episode was beyond the simple mediocracy of episode 1-3 it was downright boring I didn't even watch it all. I have never seen an anime with a good first season have such a bad second season.I hope it gets better but not much hope at this point ,its going to my when I am bored as hell watch list

Sadly, what they are doing is good for merchandise but a kick to fans who want new content.
Sadly (number 2)... guys, we've already used up what, 4 episodes now? Only 9 more episodes until another possibly long ass wait (then again, I predict maybe one or two OVA's to come out soonish). I rated it a 3/10... I am a sucker for new looks and presentation. |
