Goddammit. quote: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  quote: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.

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

Six Years Ago posted: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.

After 5.Six Years Ago posted:Welp. gently caress this show. I'm out. quote:I guess I will just avoid this episode and move on, just waiting until the next actual episode gets released. I'm amazed they went this far, I was sure that last one would be it but.. then we get another and rumor of even more. If this next episode isn't it then I'll... just wait for the next one after that. Haruhi's a good show and it's a shame KyoAni is going this far to seemingly either alienate their fanbase or they really think this is hilarious. I'll still be waiting, but I am bitter about this. quote:I feel like an abused wife at this point. Oh well, there's always next week's episode... quote:Pretty masterful troll. People loved the first series, waited patiently for what? A year and a half for some new episodes and they decide to remake the same episode 5 times, very nice. quote:This thread is getting to be like endless eight

In Training posted:Alright 6 is a good low time to ask some Q's. How is everyone feeling? Did you like that awesome clock shot? When is everyone available to watch Sigh? Anybody got some good Mario Maker levels to share? Does anybody want to read my writing about live action Japanese movies that I've done in my spare time? What's been your favorite episode so far? Everything is blending together. I'm perfectly sober and I'm starting to get confused. I think Sigh should be two days instead of one. I've watched the end of this arc probably 15 times but this is the second time I'm watching all the episodes. I'm tired.

Oh wait. There was also a big rumor at the time that E8 was going to end with six episodes.From Six Years Ago posted:I'm going to kill myself. quote:Same here quote:If the season ends with Disappearance, I will be happy. I'll forgive all this Endless Eight stuff and it will actually go nicely with Disappearance to explain why Yuki acted the way she did, but if the rumors I'm hearing are true, and it doesn't, I will be very, very disappointed. My impotent nerd rage will be off the charts. quote:The only thing KyoAni can do to make themselves even more awesome right now is to announce a Haruhi film trilogy, to be released in cinemas at a premium ticket-price a couple of weeks apart, and all of them turn out to be Endless Eight loops. quote:I was so sure it was going to end. quote:I was just thinking, if there's twelve, and the fourteen new episodes total is accurate, that's one non-E8 episode on both ends, like two pieces of tasty bread in the tallest troll sandwich you've ever eaten. Concluding the story when August ends would work just as well for some silly justification to stop at 12, so either way. quote:gently caress you, Haruhi, gently caress you... (I still love you please don't hurt me)

WhoaSix Years Ago posted:We should all probably face the fact that this is probably going to be one of the defining moments in anime history that will end up being the litmus test for a true anime fan, akin to meeting someone who avidly watches Bleach or Naruto filler and can tell you about the intricacies of each episode. This will be such an experience. People five years down the line will be nerding out about the subtle nuances of each episode of the EE run and the philosophical underpinnings thereof.

Theory: It didn't have to be homework, Haruhi just wanted someone to be enthusiastic about what they were doing and willing to take on a little leadership (possible foreshadowing when she's willing to give up being chief for a day during the cicada grab). Thoughts? I don't know, maybe it gets into it more in the LN but if it had to be homework, geez.

Okay, my final thought on this: it was a lot better the second time through, and I give the studio a TON of credit for the audacity of doing what they did here by risking the entire fanbase of a big moneymaker of a show, but I still think 4-5 episodes would've been better.

Allarion posted:There's an interesting mirror between Haruhi and Kyon's character development that I've wanted to mention. With Haruhi, it's a movement towards accepting and embracing the mundane, for all its little joys and accomplishments, which ultimately caps off with Live Alive. Kyon heads in the complete opposite direction as fantastic events keep happening to him even though he supposedly wants a normal life. That's a really good point. Anyway, this was an interesting way to spend a Friday evening. Unusual but fun.

Yeah, I didn't read any of the books but he always seemed okay to me. Maybe a little weary. If anything, he's part of what seems like the most selfless of the factions, because who knows what the eventual goals of the data entity or time travelers are, but it seems like the ESP guys only have the power to fight in closed space, which is going to be pretty useless most of the time. Apart from Haruhi, Kyon might suffer the least of the five.

In Training posted:For those new folks wondering, the recent spin off series starts here and Kyon says No, completely flying in the face of well, everything that makes the show interesting and worthwhile. Eh, it's not all garbage, it's just mediocre. But one thing I did enjoy--minor spoilers about the characters here--is how the entire dynamic changes as Asakura is a full member of the Literature club and Tsuruya is pretty much Mikuru's best bud. Neither of those two put up with Haruhi's poo poo, as opposed to the pushovers of the normal brigade, and as a result Haruhi is less a molesting, blackmailing rear end in a top hat and more just a very excitable but bossy person. Although it's not all good because Itsuki's balls are pretty much cut off. I won't have a chance to watch the movie until Sunday, I don't think.

It is kind of sad though that apart from spinoffs this is probably always going to be the end of the series. Feels like, all together, they're still just approaching the midpoint of a much larger story.

Parallax posted:i don't think euphonium tried to do the same thing haruhi tried, but for what it did it excelled at. i'd go as far as saying the character animation in euphonium is better than haruhi Oh I don't think that could possibly be in dispute, could it? Euphonium wasn't a particularly audacious show, but it was undeniably beautiful.
