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

Lots of people were convinced EE was a reaction against Kadokawa forcing certain restrictions on their schedule, which makes no drat sense at all

STOP WATCHING BASEBALL KYON.

God. How many centuries of goddamn baseball has he wasted his life on now? Of all the sports to be locked in a time loop with.


No I will not drop my beef with baseball, thanks for asking.

Absolutely haha. I think I've read before that Anno only had those first six episodes in mind when starting the show, which is why it turns into a weird romantic comedy for 8 episodes, and why all that stuff is cut from the remakes

"...My mission is to observe." :smith:


...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."

You can be friends with people without being joined at the hip, though. Perhaps it's about about codependency or something?

Thanks. I only started watching the animes over the past year or two and this was one of the first things I saw (based on my memories of how SA lost its poo poo over the show), so it is still one of my favorites.

So, let's have some translated reactions from Japanese fans as of the beginning of this ep:

Six Years Ago posted:

>This is terrible

>Well I got my laugh

>Give me a break already. Are you trying to destroy the spirit of the audience

Aaand we're back to trying to get me to develop an unhealthy appreciation for fictional fifteen year olds. It doesn't help that Yuki got a nice shot of her own that time. You shouldn't be allowed to draw teens like this, man...

Also, those were some odd fades.

I wish you guys would stop looking at this as a money making scheme. KyoAni could have made tons of money by reanimating the original series, or making Lucky Star crossovers. Endless Eight is a brilliant work of art. It will be forever remembered as the greatest troll in anime history.
