Have any of you watched up until the most recent ep? For those who do, have you smacked your computer screen in anger already? I know I almost did.

[RaiDK]

Care to elaborate for us uneducated ones?

[Waris]

This:

Imagine watching 3 ep's of the exact same thing where nothing much changed and people doing the exact same things they did in the previous ep's.

Here's a related thread from /a/: http://img88.imagesh...46621573615.png

Wow, and I thought the ending of Evangelion was bad...

[Pav:3d]

lmaos xD

Btw: endless eight? So you expect 5 more repeats?

Ahaha...bear with it a bit more. I'm pretty sure next episode they _might_ start rolling...after 15,499 times.

[Waris]

My primary concern is that KyoAni are definitely going to use 4 ep's to cover a short novel chapter, reducing slots for Disapperance/Vanishment which is a whole goddamn novel.

If EE doesn't end next week I'm going to eat my own hair

after setting the neighbourhood on fire

[Destiny]

I do hope S2 isn't 1x episodes, though. I'd love to see the Snow Mountain chapter soon...

KyoAni sure is good at messing up people's brains, eh?

[ΓΛPTΘΓ]

Finished the novel after S1, up to date on S2. Overall its doing a great job, it not really much difference in the novel to the anime, but due to trying to stick with the novel as much as they can, this loop contains quite a bit of repeats as this is the story.

[NergiZed]

Heh, I think that's why I'm only gonna watch it after the seasons complete.

Seriously, it's Haruhi, what else did you expect? Did you seriously think that they'd still pull the whole, 'let's play the series out of order, lol' crap again? They've got the best ideas to annoy/confuse/infuriate their viewers.

And yet I'm still gonna watch it when S2 is done. (hopefully S2 is more than just the 'endless eight')

btw: I didn't read the manga. Is the manga of 'Season one' out of order as well?

I have watched the S1, and also the novels.
After the long-awaited S2 first episode aired, I said WTF? this is the same story with the first season!
Also many people said S2 is the re-air of S1, so I don't watch it.

But I just realize when there is the Bamboo Leaf episode.
From what I've gathered, S2 starts the story (including the ones in S1) from beginning in crhonological order, like the novels.
But because I don't like watch it from the beginning while it's still continued, I decided to watch it after the season ends.

About the endless eight, since it's also in the novel, I've already know the story, but I don't think the anime version will be like this. I'm surprised!
It must be really annoying watch the repeated episode again and again, with "little" differences. Especially for who didn't know the story.

Is that true the endless eight will looping until the summer ends? KyoAni is really good messing people minds.
Then when the stories continue??

It's not out-of-ordered, but I really don't like the manga. Compared to the anime and novel just... bad.

[Waris]

Yep the manga isn't as good as the anime.

All of this will make sense come the Disappearance episodes.

Spoiler

Else people will WTF as to why Yuki, seemingly out of whim, creates an alternate universe where she and Mikuru are no more than North High students, while Itsuki and Suzumiya go to a different high school.

Since there will still be one more week of EE:

[Destiny]

I prefer dispassionate Yuki.

But yea, the latest episode's still pretty much the same,

Spoiler

'cept Kyon's gotten more deja vus like Koizumi

.

Additionally, kinyu sq- goldfish scooping at the O-bon festival was omitted 437 times.

Part time work was conducted 9031 times with six variations of work. Besides distributing balloons, there has also been stock loading, cash register, flyer distributing, call answering-"


Yeah, KyoAni is excellent at messing up people's mind by repeating it over and over again. Disappearance...quick!




...on the other hand, someone's been sneaking into school lately.

[ΓΛPTΘΓ]

Yea, I think after two repeats we got the idea. God level trolls are god level... xD

[Destiny]

The BGM 'twas pretty light this time, and I thought it'll be the end. The clock sequence at the end, too.






...in the end it's still endless.

Spoiler

Though Kyon did doodle an '8' on the list and the scene where Kyon stands up in the cafe got repeated five or so times...well, at least you get a mizugi Yuki~

Mmm...KyoAni's Former Director "Yamankan":

“I knew from a year ago.”

“When I was with Kyoto Animation, this idea was already floating around, I was against to it. I thought 2 episodes was the limit.”

“I feel responsible for this. I’ll say it, I’m prepared to. As a representative of the SOS-Dan production committee, I want to apologise here – this was inexcusable.”

^^ Damn epic...

[Destiny]

Nicely done there, Waris! But yeah, since I'm already this far in I can't quit too

[Pav:3d]

That was hilarious!

[NergiZed]

Wait, are the Eights of Endless over right now?

S2 for reals? No more Endless Eights?

[Destiny]

IIRC it's only episode 6 of the E8 arc Two more...though a faction within me yearns for it to end now D:

[Waris]

Looks like they're still on Namek.

[SorataZ]

The video would have been funnier if they actually had changed the voices. Still, nice idea for anyone who does not understand german. Also I agree, E8 should end now.

[Waris]

[Destiny]

I hope this is the penultimate episode of the E8 arc. There were quite a few changes this time round...I could spoil a couple.

Spoiler

Kyon says out the "I love you" part...of course not to Haruhi.

Kyon didn't make a comment after taking off the frog costume.

We see Kyon's hands stashed in his shorts twice when he's sleeping

Kyon cut Yuki short after the part time last episode.
