The cover to the latest Haruhi ED single, “Tomare!” (Stop!), is attracting unwelcome attention for its attempt to rewrite the laws of perspective, chiefly at the expense of Mikuru.
2ch generously steps in to correct matters:
Lest you forget (animated, enlarge to view):
The CD itself is out at the end of August. In case you think this is some kind of 2ch instigated trickery, you can see the cover in situ at Amazon.
How far this franchise seems to have sunk…

Looks to me as if in the original, the heads were plastered on like a bad photoshop edit. The 2ch ver. looks much better in that regard IMO.
Haruhi's nendoroids
Even the "correct matters" are still wrong, specially on Mikuru's proportions.
Ehm, there are such variables as aspect ratio, lens focal length, field of view, etc.
Endless FAIL!
+1
God, please don't be talking of "laws of physics" if you apparently lack knowledge of physics yourself.
Ever heard of wide-angle photography? That perspective distortion effect is very evidently a replication of the distortion effects that an ultra-wide-angle lens (in the 16mm equivalent range) would produce.
My Sigma 10-20mm lens (16-32mm equivalent on APS-C format cameras) produces exactly such effects at the edges of the picture. Quite fun if you're trying to make funny pictures of people.
Nowadays Haruhi is sucking at EVERTHING, seriously How did one of the most popular anime get like this :(
I personally want to blame:
KADOKAWA: money hungry bastards!
Haruhi (the character): seriously HATE her now.
EVERYONE IN GENERAL: all you idiots who were crying and bitching for a new season, well here it is I hope you've enjoyed the piece of shit, good for nothing, disaster troll that Kadokawa has shoved up everyone's collective asshole!
Your last argument doesn't make sense at all. Is your deformed brain thinking that KyoAni decided to rush the production because lots of fans were demanding for it to be sooner..?
I don't care if it's geometrically right or wrong, it JUST LOOKS STUPID.
eugh, 1 point perspective when applied to anything outside of graphic technology never works... it's far easier to simply use blocks to designate peoples proportions and work from there...
...i always hated perspectives at school.
crap
crap
crap
crap
crap
crap
crap
crap
...then time stops for another 8 episodes
Come on, it's just a drawing...
Who do you think you are to complain about professional work? I bet you can even make a proper drawing and you are talking.
Have some respect for artists.
And the author of the article can f*ck himself:
when does the franchise sunk?
The Endless 8 might not be a unanimous success but many people including myself have found this idea brilliant even if it's starts to get too long (5 episodes should have been max).
But come on: a semi-disappointing arc + a nice but criticizable CD cover do not make a failure.
Stupid nerd fans. Show some respect for innovation.
Go fuck yourself. =D
We complain about professional work and Haruhi in general because we have learned to expect QUALITY.
When we aren't given that, of course we're upset.
And this CD cover is terrible. Objectively. Sure I could never draw that well at all, but these are professional artists. THEY ARE CAPABLE OF BETTER.
Oh suuuuure,
Endless Eight is hooooorrible quality...the animation is worth a Naruto Shippuden Episode, there's no effort in creating a heavy atmosphere, the drawings are completly failed, the Seiyuus suck...
Come on, it's still has the quality we known of Haruhi and what we expected for.
Just because KyoAni took a decision you don't approve does not gives you the right to say it's not quality.
If it's not quality, it's commercial: so tell me what kind of stupid guys would make profit on something they knew that it will be risky.
As for the CD cover, you would have not minded it if someone didn't post an article.
Having art courses for years I didn't notice a huge mistake (I just thought Yuki was always the smaller one but I was wrong) ; I showed the image to my colleagues and they took some time to notice
Everyone makes mistakes, even professionals. Don't expect them to draw you a Mona Lisa for a product cover.
Well, I am feeling like watching all eight of them...this is what a devoted disciple of Haruhiism must do!!!!
Kyoani stop trolling...
And give us some love T_T
2ch fix!
they made it better lol
This is what losing perspective is all about :

You know, if I were the original creator of that CD Cover, i would be ashamed of this, good to know that people know how to fix up such fucked up errors.
"..........."
Oh god tiny Mikuru... D:
Why does Yuki look... oddly huge?
What is endless eight please define it for me please.
Endless Eight is a series of Haruhi episodes (the most recent), where it basically repeats the same episode (or time frame) over and over again). Although the scenes are animated differently... It's pretty much the same...
Meh. It wasn't all that bad.
This anime got totally fucked (season 2) it got so SHIT that I'll NOT watch it anymore, and started to hate it.
Then don't watch it, let those who still appreciate it talk about it freely.
What makes me laugh is the 1st season fans who thought it was awesome...the 14th episode and the 10min-length where Yuki reads her book is much boring than 20 Endless Eights.
At that time I did not heard that much complain.
Konata did (complained)..
2nded
pretty obvious that they don't give a fuck anymore
Uhhh... Haruhi who?
Nerd rage is hilarious.
Haruhi S2 is fail and the soundtrack cover is fail too.
KyoAni have also announced plans to release the CD a further seven times, each with slightly different perspective used in the cover art. Each CD will be marketed as a new single, but will actually contain exactly the same songs as the previous ones.
Don't blame KyoAni for this. Blame Kadokawa!
I see what you did there.
garbage.
Turn the whole show into a hentai that involves haruhi being raped from various perspectives and I'll watch it again.
What is love ...?
Baby don't hurt me...
Don't hurt me...
No more.
( To what depths... this ship has sunk...)
Cheers,
Nick
bitches betta get back in da kitchen
*SMACK*
Stop indeed
Are our prayers in vain, oh Great Lady of the Schoolgirls! Accept this loli in sacrifice and bless thy rod with honey white as snow.
Artards.
The heads only? When I look at the picture it looks like Mikuru is way smaller than Haruhi.
Actually, its not a perspective failure
These are loli versions of Haruhi, Nagato and Mikuru
i love you, oh puru puru song.
Idiot...
whu? o_O
no you
you
That's what I was thinking.
Aspect Ratio, Motherfuckers!
Do you know it?!
EPIC Ratio, Motherfuckers!
Do you know it?!
corected*
Corrected*
PWND!
Connected*
Doesn't stop it from looking weird, even if it's correct :/
Calm down Anon. I know that's how it's supposed to be. But it still looks weird.
Also, it's not called aspect ratio. Its called view perspective.
same here.
Well, this IS Haruhi we're talking about here, the laws of physics are easily disregarded at her convenience.
What is love?
Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, No more.
~whoa oh oh~
Looks fine to me, they have clearly tried to make it looks like it has been shot on a wide angle lense (Which causes this "incorrect" perspective you seem to have noticed)
As always, whiny cunts will find something to complain about in something that is perfectly valid.
apparently she also has the ability to disregard how much endless eight a viewer can take
I LOL'd XD
you
PHailed
hey! since when did we have a ruler for anons like us ? that's unfair! going back , those pics reminds me how f*kcing repetitive EE had gone so far. (ie : first pic > first ep , second pic > sec ep , and it goes on and on and on....) endless indeed.
endless eight
endless eight

How can you not see the same ep again and again? Are you watching them with your eyes closed, This new season just blows.
I am watching the endless eight regardless what others say...I don't see the same episode again and again, but I am seeing nagato again and again, wich is fine with me.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeendleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess eiiiiiiight
chapter indeed ¬¬
thanks to 2ch i see the mistake.
I don't know by hearth though, but aren't they all different sizes in the anime anyway ? and thus the error isn't all that
Well I would agree if Mikuru's eyes were in the same height as Haruhi's boobs.
Mmmm... Boobs...
Well, using the writing on the road as a base, I'd say they're just simulating a fish-eye lens. Actually, that would've made the original Haruhi's head accurately sized...
Aw, fuck it. It's too screwed up to understand, much less fix.
>How far this franchise seems to have sunk…
BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ;__;
Maybe the road is too steep, not flat, and Mikuru is standing at lower part of the road than Nagato and Haruhi, so then she was drawn like that,,,
I thought it was steep too.
i dunno. from a dadaist POV, the whole 'Endless Eight' tomfoolery is brilliant. the fact that it is a post-modern aside on a genre MOHS was in no small part responsible for creating is just fantastic.
from a fan's perspective it is almost unforgivable.
Dead franchise. Move on.
QFT.
endless prespective? LOL!
actually endless eight is perfectly providing us the feeling of what the characters should be feeling
in that sense it's a very nice attempt, if not for us fans to just want what we're used to
Stop this profanity!!!!
stop sucking the corporate cock man.
stop sucking the masses their cocks
YUKKURI~~~~
Actually ~
Watching the gif image.. reminded me of ~ "Bobble-heads"
Exactly what I was gonna say... it's not an error, those are the 1:1 booblehead versions of the trio.
Or, judging by the head size, it could also be this:
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/23/kigurumi-cosplay-terror-gallery/
Hahah, the "fixed" version also gave Mikuru a boobjob
After more than 9000 hours of research, my investigation team came to the conclusion that 2ch did a good job fixing the perspective of the three characters situated in the picture.
Please see the following evidence:
http://i29.tinypic.com/2a6a8eo.png
Remember that photographic lenses also distort perspective.
You have to take that into account, as this picture IMO is very likely supposed to evoke the same effect an ultra-wide-angle camera lens would produce.
Bullshit. Mikuru's head is the size of her entire body.
Stop using the "artistic" card. Haruhi is crap now and you know it.
Quit trying to enjoy pure shit.
Watching the gif makes the song "What is love?" enter my mind... <_<
Someone needs to make a .gif placing them in the car from the "What is love?" video...Then they should replace the endless eight with that...
