Because you’ve experienced the same thing for the past 597 years. I opened up Episode 5, feverishly praying that it was the finale of the Endless Eight, but alas, my prayers weren’t answered and we’re still stuck with what happened since Episode 2. Same thing, over and over again. Endless Eight proves to be an extreme case [...] Related posts:Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2 — In A Nutshell For Episode 2, 3 And 4Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu 2 — Episode 2, Revealation of OP!Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Season 2 — First Impressions

Kadokawa sucks.

It’s done, finished, over. I don’t care how many more Endless Eight episodes they do or don’t produce; KyoAni’s thrown a sure deal away, looked a gift horse in the mouth, exploited their fans beyond the breaking point, and I’m not having any of it anymore. I think, if we want to show KyoAni and [...]

Oh wow they actually did it. 4 episodes of the same thing.

Episode 5 like the two episodes before it is almost exactly the same thing, except the airplane… More people continue to rage after this episode… the question is… how much longer…. According to one source, Kadokawa planned for a 6 episode long Endless Eight arc… but isn’t it a bit excessive considering the Endless Eight [...]

I'm going to forgo a summary again since it's pretty much the same set of events, though this episode is probably a bit closer to episode 13 than last week's episode. I do want point out a couple of the differences though because they might be important. First, they seemed to focus on the clouds and the airplane symbol a lot, and it even appeared on the back of Mikuru's t-shirt. Knowing how this arc is supposed to end, I suspect this is a red herring, but since this anime adaptation has already broken from the original novels, they could be doing something different. The other thing was that there seemed to be a larger amount of focus on Yuki than previously, which I've been told is important for later past this arc. None of this changes the fact that they could be making much better use of this time if they had ended this arc two episodes ago and moved on to the next one. But they didn't, so Endless Eight again next week, and I'm once again expecting it not to conclude.

From the Unwound archives. I know I need to wait until we broadcast the first episode, but I don't think I can properly contain my being almost completely enamored with Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu.

There is not much I can say for this… but this is what I can say: Auuu~ Have watched the 4th episode, and I have the feeling that this is the worst episode so far… it’s almost a complete rehash of Episode 3. I know that summer supposed to repeat in Endless Eight and they want [...]

Endless loop of this? Noticing the title, you guys would have probably noticed why did I condense 3 whole episodes into one single post. Why did I do that? Simply because if you’ve watched any of the above mentioned episodes, you would have watched all three of them. Yes, all three. Exactly the same… story-wise. I know, I [...] Related posts:Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu 2 — Episode 2, Revealation of OP!Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Season 2 — First ImpressionsHaruhi Re-run’s 8th Episode Listed As New Episode

Real Life is working me particularly hard these days. I anticipated this, and posted one of my two-posts-a-week early, but I am left with one more to go. I am afraid this is it. Unlike many other bloggers of the realm, I don't actually mind the endlessness of the eights that have been the theme of [...]

Having waited a couple years, put up with incessant trolling and numerous false starts, before finally getting a second season of Haruhi, only to have it air with a random schedule, should we be surprised that KyoAni and co. (I don't even know if the enemy is KyoAni or Kadokawa at this point) have decided to emphasize the "endless" in "Endless Eight?

Well, I guess if KyoAni are allowed to create the exact same episode as last time with some subtle variations, then I should probably be allowed to simply link to my entry for the last episode and go grab a beer.Quite simply, this third instalment in the "Endless Eight" story arc of the series has nothing new to bring us - Yes, new animation and costumes, but is that really what we watch The

We got some new swimsuits and summer outfits, and then same stuff happened as before. I think this was the first time I’ve ever been bored watching an episode of Haruhi. Not even joking, I’m completely out of interesting things to say about the same events we’ve experienced multiple times already…

The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody of three weeks ago was but a teaser to whet appetites, but this week the God Empress Herself makes an emphatic return. And how! It has been three years since the first season burst out from obscurity to capture the imagination of an entire generation of otaku, and things have changed [...]

I tell you again, KyoAni is trolling us. What the eff was that? I jinxed it with what I said last time. Endless Eight will probably last for the whole second season and finally end the arc on the season’s finale. /Just kidding. Some parts of the episode were still funny though, like how Itsuki says [...]

Just when I thought Endless Eight would finally conclude, here we go again for the 15,499th time. This episode is essentially the same as the previous two episodes so there’s not much point summarizing it. There were some slight changes – such as clothing again and a few dialogue changes – but essentially continued the [...]

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 [...]

Since this episode was basically the exact same as last episode, I'm not even going to bother with a summary this week. All of the changes were relatively minor (their clothes, Yuki wearing the mask this time, Haruhi not needing to be prompted about cicadas, and so on), though Kyon was slightly more suspicious this time around. Like last week, Kyoto Animation reanimated everything from different angles and with different shots, and it sounded like all the lines were re-recorded too. I'm sure by the end of all this, if not already, the voice actors will be able to recite those lines by heart. I can't decide if Kyoto Animation is doing this to troll us, or if they're buying time so that they don't have to actually cover all that much new material, or if this is stunt for the sake of pulling a stunt, or what. Whatever the reason, as I said earlier, I'm really hoping that they don't do this for eight straight episodes or for the rest of the season. I wouldn't put it past them though, and I'll probably go into next weeks episode expecting it not to conclude again.

I’m running late on catching up to Haruhi’s review but then again, I was very choosy with the available fansubs. I’m sure that Haruhi Season 2 had finished running on Japan’s TVs and I’m caught up with the late fansubs; that I’m putting them to blame nor should I be complaining to get my hands [...]
