Of course there was still no end, however there were actually a few small but arguably notable differences this week, iteration 15527. For one, Kyon actually tries saying "I love you" to himself after Itsuki suggests it during the stargazing scene. The déjà vu effect also felt more pronounced since there were a few times they'd show the same scene twice through Kyon's eyes. It also seemed like they were skimping on the animation a little during the explanation scene given how there was over half a minute focused on just Itsuki's watch. None of this made the episode worth watching, but like I said last week, I'm going to continue tuning in for completion's sake and so that you folks who (probably wisely) stopped will know when to come back, assuming this arc hasn't soured you entirely on the show. Regardless, here's to hoping it ends at eight next week.

Now I’m totally hopeless… because it’s all Kadokawa’s fault of deciding to repeat it more than 6 times when it’s supposed to be 6… Even six is too many episodes. Seriously… Endless Eight is a big waste of money and time to animate… I rather have Kyoto Animation dump Endless Eight and start putting their efforts [...]

Wow. Creating this episode was literally the biggest waste of money anyone could ever accomplish. I’m not making any screenshots. I’m not even going to say anything about the content of the episode. But don’t feel gypped. If you want to know more about the actual plot of this episode, then just read posts about [...]

We’re on fire too, in a way. To give you just another general idea of what’s going to happen in this particular episode… yes, it’s still a loop. Frankly speaking though, we shouldn’t expect much from this particular episode, since it’s more or less confirmed that the Endless Eight will be about 6 episodes long. What I [...] Related posts:Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2 — In A Nutshell For Episode 2, 3 And 4Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2 — Is It Over Yet? — Episode 5Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2 — I’m Sorry, KyoAni — Episode 6

What the hell do you think happens? It’s….the same damn thing… Impressions: There really is nothing more to say on this…tragedy. It’s obviously going to end up being eight episodes. If only they had changed those eight episodes up more, even if it still reset it would be more bearable, but now…this is just ridiculous. At least [...]

New upload from my youtube channel. Genderbent version of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2 OP, “Super Driver”. Vid and download link in this post~ The video is just random plasterings of random fanarts I didn’t care much about the timing, actually (made it in almost 3 minutes so it’s obvious). It’s about the hawt~ Haruhiko voice [...]

The good part (or bad, depending on how you look at it) about these episodes is this style of posting is so easy, it doesn’t take any thought at all.   This is the part where Nagato flips out and beats Kyon with his bike. What? You missed it?

Hello one and all, and welcome to this week's session of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya "Endless Eight" self-help group. I know that times are still hard for you all, but if we work together to do our breathing exercises and share our worries then I'm sure we can all talk one another down from the precipices of anger, frustration and disappointment in which some of us may have found

Ever since Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (aka: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) came out in anime form, I was convinced that KyoAni had developed a marketing gimmick by which they developed a great deal of buzz and generated more ratings by doing something unthinkable -- playing the episodes of their anime in non-chronological order. It is a risky ploy to come up with such a marketing scheme but

Other than the usual clothes and stuff, I didn't notice any particularly noteworthy differences to point out in iteration six (#15524 in the series itself). In fact, I even found myself starting to doze off several times because it was the same old, and I knew all the lines already. Being the completionist that I am though, I can't not watch the episode just in case something does change or they do finally end it, so I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to sit through this at least one or twice more, if not five or ten. What still irks me is that they put in a full animation effort into each of these episodes, effort that could be used on episodes with new material. We could be an entire novel volume further by now, but no, more Endless Eight.

3rd editorial on "The Fiasco of Suzumiya Haruhi.." Endless Eight lives up to it's name, but not to the fans...

With all the music cds released for Suzumiya Haruhi, it is not a surprise that they reached over a million units sold. As of Wednesday, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime has shipped over 1 million tie-in CDs. From Aya Hirano’s 2006 opening theme CD single “Bouken de-show de-show? ” to the newest opening theme CD [...]

Well almost all of them XD. I finally took the plunge and got me some of the girls from SHnY. I'll get down to Kyon and Itsuki some time soon but since they aren't that popular (lol), there is no danger of them selling out any time soon. XD More after the break as usual.

Kyon goes through Haruhi’s two week repetition again, again. Impressions: Damnit, I was really hoping it would end here. I said before how it would have been fine for it to even have ended last episode, but this episode was pushing it a little. Now, it’s not even ending here. It’s ridiculous. It’s one thing to have [...]

Kyon goes through Haruhi’s two week repetition again. Impressions: Ok, we get it. Although I like the concept of this whole arc, I think they are using way too many episodes to do it. This episode was practically identical to the previous one as far as no new information as to what exactly Haruhi wants or how [...]

All anime roads take me home / to the place, where I belong / Evangelion, Ayanami Rei / Take me, anime roads~ I vaguely remember that how hearing Bach’s Air on a String, Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in B minor on the Evangelion OSTs (particularly Death and Rebirth) sparked a mini-classical [...]

The hour of victory is near … it’s up to you to seize it. Victory is almost theirs. They can taste it. That boiling blood of the fanbase. Certainly Kyoto Animation and Kadokawa have stretched the majority of Haruhi fans almost to their breaking point with their 5th iteration of Endless Eight; or at least, the part [...]
