Thoughts:

When Newtype announced Endless Eight's ending, we all knew it was definite - and it was. Endless Eight has ended.

Regarding the ending itself, I think it was very well done on KyoAni's part. Thinking back, it still makes me laugh thinking about all the people who raged over this. Honestly, to the people who got trolled - what's the difference whether Endless Eight is eight episodes or two episodes? You can just watch the first and the last one if you wanted to. Or if you want to watch all eight, that's also fine, considering they were all reanimated, and to the natural KyoAni standard. You're quite the fool if you dropped this (as I know many people did). :D

Endless Eight itself, with the is definitely not Haruhi at its best. Now all we have to do is wait for the Sigh, and hopefully, Disappearance (which is Haruhi at its best).

Those few shots of Haruhi at the end of the episode completely justified all the previous episodes, if someone didn't like them, but still thinks himself as a fan of the franchaise.

I myself, well, really enjoyed all the episodes, which, I believe, is somewhat connected to the fact, that I get bored when watching American action movies.

As for what's coming next, I pray that KyoAni will count all 8 episodes of this arc as one, and we will have the plesure of watching another 12 new episodes.

Ah, and one thing jumped into my mind: exactly why do we know they'll do the Vanishment?

well, honestly I'm not a masochist that will bow to kyoani, so I stopped at 14, now downloading this one. :)

I hope you're not implying that it was an un-Haruhi-like solution considering that Kyon literally saved the world with a kiss before.


You're using the word "masochist" quite liberally here. It's not like any of eight episodes were painful to watch. And it's not like any of us are buying or committing to buying these episode by downloading them.

That's what I thought since Endless Eight went into its fourth episode. If they do that, that'll be f*cking amazing.

And no, we have absolutely no proof they'll be doing Disappearance. Or even the Sigh, for that matter. :L



You have to admit, it was quite a plain solution. Endless Eight has an ingenious setup, but with that solution it is a bit anticlimactic. That does not, in any way, mean this is no good. Every Haruhi chapter is awesome. It's just that there are plenty of stories better than Endless Eight.

ITS OVER ITS FINALLY OVER!!!! Can't wait for next episodes something with a different plot

lol, well it's not painful to watch, and I don't even care about the DVD's but I have more important stuff to do than watching the same 8 episodes. I'm better of investing my time to play more VN's and watch other animes. :lol:

EE was pretty confusing - not the plot but the decision to televise it in the way they did. It wasn't simply that they were being lazy - after all, they reanimated each episode so it's not just like a "Last Week on Naruto!" thing. On the other hand, it really didn't need repeating that many times, the repetition actually detracted from the plot.

It was too taken up with the notion of being episodic - "Oh let's make 8 eps of the same thing happening to really emulate what Kyon and friends are going through! The fans will love it!" - but when you think about it, put them altogether and you have a 2h 40m story in which only really 30 minutes of stuff happens. Sure, even if they cut it down, they'd still need to have a bit of repetition because that's the point of the story. The point is that just because the characters have to experience the same thing 15,000+ times, it doesn't mean we should.

The reason that this is annoying, quite apart from the novelty wearing off 5 or 6 eps ago, is that it took them two whole months to do this story. Haruhi fans have had to wait two months for the resolution to a story and were also deprived of around six new Haruhi stories (depending on how you look at it, it could me more or less than six). "Endless Eight" is like the modern version of "Five minutes and this planet will blow up!"

Despite that I've still downloaded them all... I'm such an idiot but then I think I was just seeing how far they'd take it; a kind of masochistic urge.

at least it is over but the ending was disappointing. i just found out they might make a movie out of the endless eight arc. Why?

It's extremally important for the building of a characters, after reading, or hopfully, watching The Vanishment you'll understand.

Both of you do realize the director was just joking, right?

Wait, what? There will be a movie. It'll start with the first episode of the Endless Eight, it will finish with the last, and between them there will be a 2 hour sequence of Shamisen sleeping on Kyon's bed and Nagato reading the Eneida sitting next to him.

The guy over at Sankaku Complex seemed to take it seriously too, but then he seems to have a real issue with Haruhi and will twist anything to do with the franchise into a massive negative (but still won't stop talking about it). It's like he was picked on at school by a girl with a yellow/orange hairband or something.

Artefact just loves getting hits on his site. He has admitted this in several responses to comments. He even goes as far as to revive old news.

Not only that, he does have an obvious bias against Haruhi as Teclo and pretty much everyone else noticed already. It's just that no one flames him in the comments, either because they can't be stuffed (like me) or someone mods them.

Then again, I see people flaming Haruhi everywhere right now due to Endless Eight. I'm sure these unloyal "fans" will calm down when the Disappearance gets animated, but Artefact just hates Haruhi.

so..the endless nights it's all over??
okay i will watch again i really boring watch endless night

It's been done now for over a month. :|
