The file a solid percentage of us probably have has this to say on the next episodes:

quote:

It is highly suggested that you only watch Endless Eight 1, 2, and 8 and skip the other Endless Eight episodes.

As someone who has watched these episodes multiple times, I must say this is good advice. In fact I'd say it's great advice. Great advice that I look forward to ignoring with all of you.

See ya'll on the 11th.

A cool Kyoani show to go to after Haruhi is lucky star. Lots of the same cast, some of the same crew, and it takes place in 2007 Japan at the height of Haruhi's popularity.

I still feel strange having watched Haruhi after Lucky Star and probably missing about a hundred jokes.

stable time loops are bullshit and make zero sense because there has to have been a point where you didn't go back in time to do the things you already did, because if you already did those things you'd have no reason to go back in time and do the things you already did. BTTF and terminator didn't become such classics because of their well researched and complicated science

trying to attach literally any meaning to the supernatural stuff in this show beyond "look at how this develops character X" is a fools errand because none of it makes sense or even attempts to make sense

Stable time loops actually work perfectly for Haruhi because it kind of feeds into the whole "time travelers only exist because Haruhi wants them to" thing. The fact that time travel only happens to make itself happen and effectively does nothing other than make the world more interesting is thematically perfect.

I forget, was Kyon shirtless before? Also, I like that even though we're doing the same sequence of events, they don't seem to be reusing any animation or anything. Yet.

Also, boy the lighting there was nice.

They never do, they were all animated separately. Must have been hell for the animators now that I think about it.

so truthfully no one thought a thing called endless 8 was gonna have 8 eps? I know there are different reasons for the 8 but it still seems like... I dunno, not that surprising. the execution is surprising no doubt...

One interpretation I've always toyed with is saying that this is what anime is, it's all the same fan service bull crap over and over again. But it sells, because you, the viewer, want to remember what this feels like. Even for 20 minutes a week

And since it sold just as much, they're pretty much right. ..

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.

Good. Baseball sucks. A: this is from someone who likes sports a lot.
