I think it kind of sucks but whatever, I’m not really upset about it at this point

It's irrelevant to the actual experience. they shouldn't care because that time is instead in a cool movie

also yeah if they just moved that story stuff into disappearance than i care even less cause disappearance is the part of haruhi that easily sticks with me the most as just a story and i don't think stuffing that into an anime would work as well

It's irrelevant to the actual experience. Especially since there are plenty of other novels they could have used the time to adapt instead. That said, I would personally love an anime revival of Haruhi one day (the movie felt more like the beginning of a new story than the end of the series) but with not much in the way of recent books to promote I’m not sure if they’d go for it.

Plus I believe there’s still a few earlier novels they didn’t get around to in the first two seasons. Also, the main Haruhi anime cast is still active/easily available these days right? For that matter, give us another Slayers series already damnit (the main cast recently reprised their roles for an unrelated mobile game after all) Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Apr 8, 2021 |

I watched the entirety of the Endless Eight and some time ago I would've told you to watch the first, the second and the eight episodes and move on. But after mulling over it I think there are enough minor changes here and there that make it kind of bearable, like Kyon referencing a different mecha show each time he took off his costume at the mall.

I lost interest in anime some time before season 2 of Haruhi came out and by the time I was interested in watching it I had a vague idea of what I was getting in to, plus it wasn't a week wait between episodes. I liked it, but that might have been because it was really fun watching it with my girlfriend and seeing her increasing disbelief and incredulity with each additional episode.

Personally I wasn't that big a haruhi fan when it was airing, but I didn't like it at the time because I didn't care much for any of the artistic intent when I was 12. I might like it more now, but I also don't feel a need to go check. Kind of interesting but I'm never going to watch that movie so from my point of view they shouldn't have bothered.

From what I've heard, the movie is the best part of the franchise, so it might still be worth checking out, especially if you had seen the rest of the tv series.

marumaru posted:didnt they say "we wanted each scene to be one frame to capture the 'reading a manga' feel" the producer and director are the same as backstreet girls, the producer is the one who has more say and the director's quote implied that the "reading a manga" thing is entirely the producer's idea and the staff are just going along with what they say because they don't really have an alternative

Tales of Woe posted:if it has to be like that then having one key animator is better than having a bunch Yeah I don't have a specific one lined up off the top of my head but there's some very famous/impressive episodes that have had solo key animators before. It's by no means unworkable - although obviously you really need to have a lot of visual inspiration and talent to pull it off. There's even some advantages in that fewer or solo animators means it's much easier to maintain stylistic consistency between different scenes and drawings.

I enjoyed going through the whole absurdity of watched endless eight in its entirety. It also gave me an excuse to drink a bit too much beer by myself and clutch my head like Psyduck every few minutes, which was fun. Haruhi is a poo poo though, can't argue with that.

It means that Macross stuff is finally able to be licensed and released in North America and you’ll be able to watch all the stuff. Yes it’s not great that it gives Harmony Gold money but it will actually give the series a chance here now.

The thing with me and Endless Eight is that I saw it the first time as it aired over the literal 2 month period which was my summer. I'm very aware and had a purer experience than any rewatch marathon by anyone ever since. I get it more than most. But I'm just gonna watch the last one like the original story was and what we all expected the first time. Probably. See how my stamina is when I get there. I do like hearing Super Driver tho. Paradoxically, if someone stitched them all into a 2 hour 40 min Endless Eight movie, I'd be way more into that. I think it'd be a neater Groundhog Day than as 8 episodes. My last rewatch was probably 6-8 years ago and it may(??) have been chronological, so broadcast order is probably what I'm leaning towards, with an occasional internal flip flop. It's more that I can really see the [early-00s-uguu to post-K-On] artstyle shift and rather than switch back and forth I'd rather pretend it's 2006 for a while then 2009.
