Naked.

It's probably Kyon. And the people will be Koizumi, Mikuru and Yuki.

Yuki left cause it was getting boring.
Koizumi is still with Kyon cause he's gay.
Mikuru stops thinking and plays with Muu-chan.

We just need to find an appropriate one.

Like someone else said, you're telling us NOT to be upset?

This feels like a slap in the face to novel readers. And it's likely that it was intended as such.

Here we have a way to prolong the anime franchise by putting off other stories for a 3rd or possibly 4th season, and that means more potential to make money later on. Long term thinking. Or you can use the stories nature as a way to save money on script writing by using the same one for multiple episodes in a row. Short term thinking.

They've still lost all credibility as a studio. In only a month, they've went from "The Studio That Can Do No Wrong" to, well, this.

I'm surprised you aren't more happy about this, actually.

And where would Haruhi be?

Taniguchi would've been a better choice.

Is being upset doing you any good? Is it going to change when E8 ends?

Then go back and read the novel and stop watching the show until the story moves on. It's really not that hard. It's just a goddamn anime after all.

Not arguing this. Our opinions are too different and it will go exactly nowhere.


I do like how they've managed to turn a simple time loop story into something that nobody saw coming though.

[Malkuth]

I just thought a really evil scenario about DVDs:

They can just add one episode of E8 along with another normal one. That also fits the 6+2 ep. rumor for E8 ...

First and last E8 together (12 remain)
Six normal plus six E8!

Anyway, do not take this seriously, it comes from the same sarcastic vein that speculated that the E8 repetition is an elaborate plan to prepare the audience for the Disappearance

[Takamura Mamoru]

Getting upset never does any good, yet people are. Constantly. Because it's a human emotion.

You can't just tell people to "stop being angry".

Some of the fandom actually looked forward to this. It's kinda like putting an old t-shirt in the box of a Xbox 360 and giving that to someone as christmas present.

[Solachinx]

Idea for meme: Change the clouds in E84 to look like a giant middle finger.

lol Taniguchi is just an extra guy waving alongside the crowd.

As for Haruhi, she's gonna come out as Dokuro-chan and beat the naked king up.

@Solachinx: Or place plenty of Eights in the Nice Boat, we insert all of the best scenes in Endless Eight, Mikuru crying for 1 minute (actually is looping around), Kyon trying to stop Haruhi. If he fails, Konata will appear (the one where the 2ch was flaming somewhere in the rain for making Nagato sit for the entire episode to read a book). If he succeeds, blow him up with Mikuru beam or Kamehameha (in a maid suit Haruhi-chan episode style).

So we should post only to praise? Not criticize? What's next not question, not think?

Some people would not mind that sight. *whistles*

Some? More like most of the fandom.

For three. Entire. Years.

If you look at it this way you can see why people are so pissed.

Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to say, but didn't have the words for.

In order to allow other people a chance to express their own opinions, I am requesting that those who have already posted a dozen times or more in this thread give it a break so that other people can have a chance to talk without the noise. This thread has already gone around in circles enough times; it's becoming a flammable and cyclic topic.

[Ithekro]

"1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,2,3,4"

Sorry, but could Yuki be trying to tell us something with the first versions bowling score? Maybe it will be 6 episodes of Endless Eight, or maybe just 5 episodes. You can never be sure with these animators. They've been know to hide stuff in plain sight, only for no one to notice for a very long time. (such as pictures of the final "Endless Eight" swimsuits during "Sometimes on the Rain".)

But none-the-less not even a hot yuri trio with the heroines can be found interesting after watching it every week for one month

I'm not interested in the fanservice so much as I want Kyon to do the "I love you" to the three girls of the SOS brigade in either direct or more subtle means.

Endless Eight could have been a vehicle for "What If..." and the opportunity was blown as we all know it today and last weeks episode.

Why not just close the thread, in that case? It's not going to go anywhere else, judging by the poll results.

Heck, why not close down the entire Haruhi subforum until they stop airing Endless Eight? It's quickly becoming "flammable and cyclic" too.

You forgot to add "endless" besides the flammable and cyclic...

No, seriously, I voted Painful not because the episode was "terrible"...It was good, but it was a real pain to watch the poor characters living a hell of a summer, thanks to Kadokawa and probably Kyoani.

Because people other than you might have something interesting to say that isn't either flammable or cyclic? Please just give it a break.

I think you're getting a bit personal on this subject in particular with Kaisos.

A lot of what he says is mirrored by a lot of other posters and those who've just got into the thread.

It's his opinion, just ignore it if you don't like it.

Um, no. Other than what's going on in this episode thread, the others are serving their intended purpose... so there's no need to bring them into this.
