Not 00, I hope.

Apparently, we'll be able to watch it at the same place than the first episode.
But isn't it a bit spoiling to watch an episode without the subtitles? :/

[Heatth]

Yes it is.

However, many people already read the novels. So already knew what is the story and can anderstand the episode even without subtitles.

Who have not read it yet should wait one more day for subtitles, if don't waint to spoil itself.

For the first episode, I think subtitles were released the very same day.

Considering how many of the subbers known the novels backwards and forwards, that isn't surprising. Also they want to sub it...badly. Assuming they don't have to spend a lot of time subbing a new OP, they'll have it out in less than 20 hours....if not 12.

I wouldn't think so, E8 is kind of a big chapter.

E8 isn't THAT big. It's about the same size as Day of Sagittarius, and they'll probably cut down most of the stuff they do into a montage.

Big chapter yes, but the episode will still only be about 22 minutes long, so it shouldn't take any longer than any other.

Assuming you mean "air in English" as opposed to "have the dates...in English", the simple answer is they won't be airing in English. Unlike the way Kadokawa had Haruhi-chan and Nyoro~n on Youtube, or Funimation has FMA:B on their own site, the Haruhi episodes won't get official subtitles until someone puts out some English-language DVDs/Blu-Rays.

That said, as noted above, subtitled versions will be fast and plentiful, assuming you know where to look.

He means that with E8 they're probably going to forego an OP, much like as with BLR.

[Tyabann]

Also, I somehow doubt we'll have a new OP until Disappearance.

I think we might get one when the Sighs roll around. But knowing this series, we'll never know what we'll get in advance.

[Ithekro]

I still want the Mikuru movie OP for Sighs. Its bad, but it is a funny kind of bad.

They actually have a decent amount of flexibility with episode times. They can do anywhere between 22 and 24.5 minutes for the episode. Ep 8 was 23:30 ish and they can always integrate the ending if they need more time.

Ep 7 was a End of Season episode. It is a special case. It is not like they are doing this for any random episode. Endless Eight is cool, but not that important.

It would be cool if we only get a new OP on Disappearance (then it would be only with the "other" cast). But I realy don't think they are going to have all Sighs episodes without a OP. And, even tough is funny for one episode, I don't know if would be a good idea using the Mikuru's OP for 4 or more episodes in a row. Fans would like, but many casual viewers would not (Not everybody can understand that is a joke).

*e*My mistake, episode 6 is the Season End. Anyway, episode 7 is just a regular 22 min episode.

[Ithekro]

Have "Taniguchi" sing it then.

[Heatth]

You mean Shirashi Minoru no Bouken? That would be awesome.

It is not hapening, tough. A pity.

Here's an idea; how about if KyoAni remade the Mikuru OP as Haruhi imagined it? You know, with proper music, singing in tune, proper lighting and choreography.

That's what I would do.

[LumpOfCole]

Or a live action Mikuru OP.

I really don't think Yuko Goto is capable of singing in tune.

Good idea though.

The second one. I love how bitchy Nirvana fans get on youtube comments. That alone makes it worth it's existence.
