Yo imagine a KyoAni version of Shirobako where they animated a 12 episode series about the making of the endless eight

I would watch the ever loving gently caress out of this.

There is something HARUHI still needs to do on this vacation. Not Kyon. Haruhi.

...Man, if this were the end of the series I'd just say "resolveher romantic tension with Kyon" and walk away, but considering there's still a full story arc and a movie coming down the tubes, I just can't commit to that yet...


+500ish iterations. Also, I love that shot with the pillar dividing Yuki's side of the screen from the other three. She's just so loving miserable through this whole thing, and you can tell without her having to emote much or even be in these goddamn episodes for more than a minute or two at a time.

Okay, so now I'm thinking that it's actually counterproductive to try hard to do what Haruhi wants. It's too obvious. Instead, Kyon has to go the other way, analogous to how Shinji rejects instrumentality in end of evangelion. He has to withdraw from the group and take the opportunity to do his homework and some introspection. Then he can emerge from the other side as a wiser man, who follows his own direction, instead of slavishly following the whims of someone else.

there's something so special about a minimalist character changing their actions in the most minute way possible, and yet telegraphing to everyone no matter how stupid that they are in a state of horror. rei ayanami was a great character but I think yuki nagato is better.

...Naah. I'm not feeling that. I mean, I've felt like this show has consistently had a minor theme of "Your Friends Are Awesome!" to it, it seems weird for a major arc like this to end in "hey, gently caress those guys, go do you for a while."

Yuki works better because they commit to it more. Just screen time wise, Yuki went though hours and hours and hours of expressionless hell. Rei still pilots a drat alien killing robot, so it's harder for the character to remain emotionless in the audience's eye

No, no, they didn't, they couldn't have...

Skimmed through the episode, most stuff seems the same aside from some scenes taking less time, different clothing/hairstyles, and watching a movie. Goddammit.
(Someone then helpfully corrects him that they went to see a movie in E8-1.)

I think that the next logical step would be for Kyoani to simply broadcast a still shot of goatse for 25 minutes in Haruhi's timeslot. I wonder how many DVDs of that would get bought.

quote:

I don't know why we're spoilering this tbh but what the hey It needs to be 13 episodes. Seriously at this point they need to make every remaining new episode an Endless Eight ep. They've had three years to plan S2, if I were them that's exactly how I'd do it, then release a legitimate season in the Fall. They've only taken up two stories worth of space so far, so there's plenty material for a third season left.

quote:

Maybe this is like Season 1.5? It's just a big tease getting up really pumped for the real season 2 which will be in three years

SIX AND COUNTING :(

This isn't really clever or funny anymore.

Also around this time is when various conspiracy theories start getting posted about Kadokowa, Kyoani, sponsors, and the director.
