Haruhi’s continuing Endless Eight story arc is exasperating fans, and the usual demented otaku antics ensue, with 2ch providing examples of otaku driven to destruction.
Their attention seeking antics aside, it seems clear Kyoto Animation and Kadokawa are treading dangerous ground, as it looks likely that the “Disappearance” story arc will not be included as promised (though we might wonder about its cliffhanger potential).
Coming on top of the previous marketing tactics this seems to be more than even brainwashed Haruhi devotees can stomach…

seriously, how broken is this guy's mind? just because he doesn't like some new episodes of a tv series, he starts to destroy his figures?
i mean, i sometimes watch entire series which i don't like, just because i like some of the characters. for example i never really liked the setting of nanoha strikers, but in fact a damn beautiful 1/4 scale figure of the grown up nanoha is standing right before me on the desk while i'm typing this. and my heart screams when i think about seeing it broken to pieces.
also i don't get all the guys who only whine about the prices of these broken figures. if i would destroy a figure, just because it is cheap, could i really call myself a fan of the character? does it really matter how expensive or rare a figure is if i like the character?
also, i missed the release of haruhi's max factory version and hated myself for it. and that guy is a fucking asshole for destroying this little beauty.
LOL! I KNEW IT!!!! Even though I was being only sarcastic about this it finally happened XDDDDDD
I pray Kyon ask Haruhi to a date and nail her... it's obvious that Haruhi want it.
I don't mind the endless eight episodes.. cause im waiting with baited breath on Kyon to intervene with Yuki's boredom. Or if Yuki would finally snap and go "Asakura" on someone.. maybe Haruhi herself.
THIS ANIME IS FUK UP !!!!!!! MUTHA FACKING FUK UP !!!!!!! THE WORST ANIME I HAVE EVER SEEN SO FAR ASSHOLE U FANBOYS MUST BE BRAINWASHED BY THAT HARUHI WHORE !!!
My my my my my... Does somebody need to fap one out???
Was your boyfriend brainwashed by Haruhi and leave you?
You must be a faggot than bitch.
I cannot see this franchise to recover from the "Endless Eight" fiasco...
for those who havn't read the stories, it's going to be hilarious when they see the ending and be like "that was incredibly lame."
To all people that thinks that this repeat would make us feel what Yuki felt.... it isn't working.
Yuki is a Humanoid interface created by the Integrated Data Sentient Entity, how are we going to feel what Yuki felt? Yes, probably she is bored.. but 15000+ repeat is nothing for her... We human are different. one repeat is interesting... two repeat is okay... 5 repeat is annoying!
Sorry, I just don't have the patience like Goddess Nagato has.
Everybody
Endless Eight is Endless
Can't believe nobody has actually said that yet!
Those impatient in deciphering the message of the Goddess are merely false devotees.
The episodes follow Chaos Theory. I'll give them that. I laughed at the episode where Itsuki was all up in Kyon's personal space.
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/moonphase/20090713
moonphase announce Haruhi with 42 episodes instead on 28.
Reaaaally?
Destruction....
Annihilation...
Armageddon
2012....
I'll say ep5 is the limit for me.
Endless Eight is endless and epic, no grudges here.
This tight bitch Haruhi want's the huge cook of Kyon in her little ass. She want's to be grabbed at every spot of her boddy so that she can get GODLIKE satisfaction. This would be the greatest fuck on earth! Kyon will put his dick in every hole of Haruhis body he can find. When he is done, the sperm will flow out of her ass like diarrhea.
lol you are crazy.
you should use that story for a Endles Eight doujin :)
I think they really hate the otaku for some reason - even though they make so much money from them
I've stopped downloading, if people can watch the same thing over and over all power to them but there are lots of other shows to watch that are more interesting
For all haters of Endless Eight:
just let those who enjoy the show every week appreciate it.
If you don't like it, just don't watch it and wait for the next arc. But don't disrespect the work of KyoAni saying that it is crap. I don't know any other studio that would have the guts to air 5-6-7...times the same events.
You get bored the fuck off? So do the fans, me and anyone else, so do KyoAni (cause making the same episodes over and over and changing some details might be boring too), so do the Seiyuus and so does Nagato.
It's a way to put in shape her feeling of boredom that will be a key in the "disappearance" arc.
So don't disrespect also those who approve their idea: they took a risk that most of the studios wouldn't had taken, the episodes are still awesome quality compared to average anime etc...I approve it.
The only thing that would make me mad is that they don't adapt the 4th light novel this season. That's all we've been waiting for.
If the don't have the slot to adapt this 4th light novel, then would you be mad with this endless stuff taking what many believe would be 8th episodes? :)
I believe to shape the feeling of boredom can be achieved by repeating it 2 to 3 times max. 5+ repeats only make most people annoyed.
They took the risk because they know they've got a good material in hand and people would still watch the series (because the novel is good) after this endless stuff ends combined with the fact that KyoAni doing it. Other anime doesn't have that luxury thus they don't dare to take the risk. Look at it this way... this is Haruhi + KyoAni, and people still hate this arc... Can you imagine what if a Gundam series pull this stunt?
I don't believe for one bit that they are doing this because of artistic stuff unless the original author+director+producer said otherwise.
Btw, just for the fun of it, imagine if they pull this stunt in the novel... you would have a whole book just for endless arc which contains 5+ repetition with some little difference in it. What would people think after reading it?
Having said that, I would still watch every episode of Endless Eight, but I wouldn't watch it for the second time. And if they keep this stuff for the DVD/Blu-ray release... what can I say? A whole disc that contains repeats and it would continue on the 2nd disc! Try watching that nonstop and you definitely wont be as calm as Yuki.
Of course every person mileage is different, so it's understandable that some like the approach and some just accepted it the way it is and some hated it. But I ask someone that like this Endless repeat... do you really need this much repeat to get whatever stuff they want to convey, or do you think it can be achieved with less repeat? Does removing some of the repeat will lessen your enjoyment?
great story bro.
Yeah and because of retards like you there WON'T be any Disappearance.
You fucking piece of shit. It will all consist of fucking Endless Eight and then Sighs, nothing more.
So yeah, dance in circles because they actually managed to ruin something that had more potential than anything else.
And shitcunts like you actually like it.
I disrespect their work because THEY DISRESPECT the fandom. People have been waiting 3 fucking years only to be greeted with "LOL SAME EPISODE"
So yes, I have every right to disrespect them.
A guy know know irl threw a huge fit for every Endless Eight episode. I'm entertained more because of all this bawwwwwing from the fantards.
Endless Eight is worth watching(or skimming) just for "observing" Yuki. It's a gutsy but creative move by Kyoani in that regard, though I'm sure one of their intention is to save some $$$.
This is Kadokawa. They'll deliver. Eventually.
They might just be repeats....of course I could be wrong.
It IS a boring arc if you ask me.
Besides the Disappearance of Haruhi Arc, the rest are pretty boring actually, up until the last volume at least, where the author has left off with that cliffhanger.
Well the entire plot's pretty weird to begin with, actually.
Watching the same episode again and again is really amusing... NOT
Rather than the otaku rage over KyoAni's actions, I would report on how ridiculous those actions are, although there's already one article on it, the situation has escalated. Season 2 so far:
1. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
2. Endless Eight start (SOS-dan spend summer vacation as normal)
3. Endless eight mid (Kyon feels dejavu, Nagato looks depressed, Mikuru calls Kyon and it's explained that they're repeating summer over and over again. Kyon tries to stop it by calling to Haruhi before she leaves at the end, but can't think of what to say)
4. Same as above.
5. Same as above.
6. Same as above.
Endless Eight still has no conclusion. Even if next week finally ends it, that's 6 episodes, 4 with exactly the same plot, near-identical dialog, just with new animation and clothes on the characters. The rumor is 6 episodes, but another more frightening rumor is that they'll go for 8 for maximum troll factor just because it's called endless eight. Either way, KyoAni will spend just over half a season (or more) re-animating and re-voicing the same shit. I'd say that's much more interesting than a bunch of otaku breaking their merchandise.
And also, to the commenters here, if you're enjoying endless eight - lol.
Just UNDER half a season that is, mistake.
I hate the arc.... But I won't wreck any goods I purchased. :S
Haruhi is quarity.
Only variations ive seen would be wardrobe, and slight dialogue changes. Otherwise its the same godamned replayed garbage. I swear to god if they do it one more time im gonna strangle a puppy.
Ahh, I fucking hate Endless Eight, but not enough to destroy all my goods. Seriously though, it's quite annoying, it's an arc that could've been summed up very easily. It's taking away from the dissapearence arc and other better episodes that could be in their place. I can't understand the reasoning behind it.
I like how he ripped up 8 books ahaha
so i guess i can just watch an episode of the endless eight arc and skip the rest then.
For people that understand...
This has happen (more or less) to my favrite tv show named Stargate SG1 the episode was called Window of Opportunity (episode 6 season 4) is where O'Neill and Teal'c have to repeat the same day over and over again...
Kyoto Animation should watch this episode and make the 7 episode (all bets are off and Kyon should anything he wants) Fuck mikuru, kill komizum, reap Haruhi, and finally reside from the SOS brigade then the last one is one more time normal and its over.
OMFG - It Groundhog Day the animation!!!! (THE ANIME)
Epic Trolled :)
If we're lucky, this'll go on for another season!
I worked at an amusement park one year where more than half of the other employees were from overseas. In the complex where I lived, there were quite a few Argentinians and other South Americans; and that summer, the World Cup was on. There were loads of Latin American workers from 18-25 in rec room of our complex watching a game, and I decided to watch a bit. At one point I made some kind of a joke about soccer, not a mean joke at all, and this one Argentinean guy started eying me. Afterward I shut up. I later learned from my roommate, another foreign national, that I was playing a dangerous game by making jokes about soccer unless I wanted to end up in a bloody pulp.
When I think of the look that guy gave me, I think what my roommate said may have been true. Now, if I try to imagine what some of these guys would do if they tuned in when a match was supposed to be on or actual bought a ticket to one, only to be greeted with some kind of teasing promotional stunt, I can't even imagine what would happen to the organizers. And if it happened more than once, I can assure you, there would be violence. So before one accused the otaku of being a whining child when his entertainment needs are not met, consider the alternative---the SOS-Dan Production Crew getting jumped and quite literally beaten whenever they appeared in public.
What ever... i hate it when he said "Wakaranai" "Nanika Okashii"
but i love it when "Kyon-kun Denwa~"
How can it be a series?? Except for a few differences per ep every one of them was exactly the same. Even the Director of the original apologized for it. Kyoto Animation is even back stepping from it.
Just because it's a Haruhi title doesn't make it a good anime. Get your headds out of your butts and see it for what it is
Endless Eight is... Ugh. The initial episode was bland, but I would have been okay with them devoting three episodes to it provided they changed some things here and there instead of just xeroxing those first three like they did. Three episodes would've been enough to tell the story in its entirely. The fact that they're up to seven and still haven't stopped, though...
Simply put, "Never been, never been like this before" - BULLSHIT!
Am I the only one in the world who liked the Endless Eight? I... feel alone.
wow....that is a waste of money, i would never do that, even if my arm is being chewed off by a dog and the only way to free myself is to throw a the book (maybe the dog likes anime)
FUCK YOU ALL AND DIE!
I'd rather not add to the Endless Eight love/hate debate, so...
1st pic: Nothing that was particularly destructive. All figures were taken apart by their joints.
2nd pic: Cheap 2nd hand copies bought at Book-Off. Also might be interpreted as a rant against Nagaru Tanigawa and Noizi Ito rather than KyoAni.
I mean, even if I felt like protesting against KyoAni, I'd try to do it as cheaply as possible. They already have enough of my money. That'll help against the inevitable regret and need to buy the same crap again.
dont hurt the light novel, theve done nothing wrong! burn a picture of kadakow, and their genius markiting skillzors, "is goten ideas, lets put off the most popular anime of the decade for 3 years, and then just animate 1 story eight times! lols kadakowa teh ubuh smrt!!1103" the anime was never as good as the novels anyway, but S2 is just a butcher job and a half
I will laugh so, so, so very hard if Disappearance is never shown and this entire turgid plodding mess of an arc amounts to nothing.
Yes, we're meant to feel what Yuki feels- but how the hell are the viewing otaku hordes meant to do that? She isn't human, the viewing audience is. She's meant to show subtle changes in emotions that the public don't have time for. She doesn't get sick of things, they do. The E8 arc just -won't- work.
If they meant us to feel like Yuki, well, the hell with you! My life is one, and only. Even if I live in a time-loop, The MAtrix or I'm part of that experiment, unless you're driving me straight out of it, there's no point in going all this stuff along with.
Omg... I just threw up. That's so disgusting. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT?! Oh god there it is again.. *Throws up*.
Bits and pieces of Haruhi torn off and thrown down to ground T.T
yeaah, that idiotic fanboy killed the culprit (in the form of his now defunct dolls) go for it you dimwit, keep killing them before they bore you to death
This mean the producer really run out of ideas...
可怜的凉宫...
为何会被如此残暴的对待？
This thing is really starting to piss me off!
Makes me laugh just how 2ch can be like the little 5 year old at Toys 'R Us who start screaming they're lungs out just because they wouldn't buy them their toy. The people who are doing this must be the same people who said "HaruWho?" whenever Kyoani stated that season 2 would eventually come. They lost faith, but eventually came back. I guarantee that after the Endless Eight arc is finished, they would eventually go back to watching the show over again. Also I'm sure that ripping the light novels, and destroying the figurines will definitely send a message to Kyoani. Because I'm SURE that it was Kyoani who paid for those books, and figurines. People seem to enjoy whining about Haruhi. It seems like Haruhi has become the "forbidden word" of anime. However it baffles me on why no one complained about the last few episodes of K-On. The series started off great but later it just died off yet people still feed off of it. To hell with Mio, give me some more Nagato.
No matter how bad you think K-ON was there weren't 4 episodes with the exact same plot, and a total of 6 or more episodes based off one small chapter.
but it's relevant t o the story. can your little K-ON do that? no so FUCK OFF!!
yes it can you mother fucker!!!
shut your mother fucking mouth if you have no Fucking Idea about anime. K-ON is faar better than this endless shit!!!!!
K-on! never gave you such shit tho the fuckers in kyo animi will surely ruin it too someday.
Tilll then lick their asses you Haruhi whore fan boys/girls, and be good fucjers too.
I just wish this summer would last forever.
Endless 8... Eight episodes?
It's called that because it's set in August.
But yeah, nothing would surprise me at this stage.
The only thing good about this season is that you get to see Haruhi in a lot of different, delicious outfits.
Very sad to see what it has done to a fellow otaku :(
Me and Haruhi are in Ecstasy from laughing at you guys!
BWUAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
Fuck this otaku. Fuck the fake asshole fanboyz. If you don't like haruhi go watch virgin Queens-bitchass-blade and go tenga-faping on-it. Leave the godess alone.
Stupid boys.
OMG!OMG!
HELP SOMEBODY CALL THE POLICE
There been a BARA BARA SATUJIN
On other note people of Kyoani are S
All i know is that the "Endless Eight" Arc is annoying as hell.
Ridiculous, those stupid donkeys have no qualification to be a member of SOS group, let along FAN
Like it or hate it. endless eight is important to the over all storyline.
Yes they are draging it out.
Yes your watching the same thing over and over, but when (or if) they ever reach the disappearence story then it will be worth it.
If you've already read the novels then you'll know what i'm getting at. This is the story that is esentially the cause of 'the disappearence'.
So sit back, take a few deep breaths and enjoy. and see if you can spot the limited but essential character development.
(personally i thought the fifth one was the best of the new episodes to date. it had the feal of the old ones)
yeah its so important that they dedicated one whole book in the novel to it. Oh wait, it was only one FREAKING CHAPTER in the novel. Please stop making it sound as deep as it is, as it stands, the only way for them to redeem this anime is for it to have a different ending than that of the novel. If it follows the novel ending, then its 6 episode wasted. I am watching a anime, not some artsy film that i have to look for subtle changes every episode to keep myself entertained. If season 2 is still the 14 episode run, and they remove the sigh arc, that means the disappearance arc, which is a major story arc, at most 7 episode, which makes it only 1 episode over this stupid endless eight arc, which in the novel has only ONE freaking chapter.

muere maldito depresivo!!!!!...... aguantate al ultimo cap pues!!!!
Ich will verdammtnochmöse, dass die Story weitergeht!!!!! NILLEKOPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reg dich ab... xD
well we not know what them feel.
because anime are motive to live of them.
he/she could have given the figures to me .. what a waste
Have faith in thy God !
KYON-KUN, DENWA
Kyon-kun, choco...
Kyon-kun, yametee...
I would have thought the "fanboy" would love these episodes, not hate them.
Personally, I'm enjoying them, even with the repetition. It's a nice story that I can stomach being reanimated.
Besides, hearing Haruhi say "swimming pool" in English in 5 (so far) different ways is really cute, as is seeing her, Mikuru and Yuki in different swimsuits each time.
Yuki in a school swimsuit this time is good too.
This season of Haruhi is the biggest waste of time IMHO.
Nope, the only good in Haruhi now is Yuki! If i have a chance, i'd go sparta and kick that fucking Haruhi butt to the bottomless hole to save Yuki from the endless boredom
ROW ROW, FIGHT FOR YUKI!!!
I'm loving the rage. Proof that the only good thing with the Haruhi name is porn. That's it.
i almost remember that goddamn every scene!
1. call from haruhi
2. going to swimming pool
3. 'just imagination' my ass! speak already!
4. Going to festival
5. fireworks
6. cicada hunt
7. stupid meeting where they explained goddammnet plot again and again!!
8. stargazing (wheer is the UFO?)
9. spending last weeks without anyone give a fuck!
You forgot the part they work to get the frog suit for Mikuru! O:
he needs one more episode to remember that!
Anime is serious business.
breaking the figs=fail
selling the figs=profit
fail@making the rite choice
the only nice part of the e8 eps is the
"kyon-kun, denwa." <3
They all look the same now don't they? The new shows. I would say its time to move on and forget forever the show that had Haruhi in it, it is almost 2010 after all. The writer of the article above stated it perfectly, quote "his seems to be more than even brainwashed Haruhi devotees can stomach…".
I am so outta here (from waiting on Haruhi stories).
NERD RAGE!!!!!
I stopped watching after 2 episodes of Groundhogs day and will only continue when the internet has a story about how that story arc is finally finished. No doubt before then we will hear about mass suicides and mountains of angry letters though
Reminds me of that Kannagi "accident". Meh... (´∀`)
HARUHI. IS. MADDNESS!!!!
, ,
(´∀`)屮
MADNESS?
HARUHI. IS. SPARTA!!!
*kick*
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
*Falling to the ass-hole*
probably the same guy again
