Endless Eight Ends

Even newspapers have been reporting that the seemingly interminable Endless Eight arc has finally ended, perhaps in order to prevent civil unrest.
Speculation now falls on whether all or part of “Disappearance” will make its way into the season. A cliffhanger or lack of the arc would probably mean the story will never see the light of day as an animation, as it is hard to see another season arising out of this fiasco, and even the novels are in a state of indefinite hiatus.
Observers are united in their curiousity as to how well DVDs containing the episodes will sell; Kadokawa looks set to employ some underhanded means to avoid the humiliation of having four DVDs of the same episode being bought only by Haruhi fetishists…

Seriously I hope they die. Waste of air time.

Suicide rate in japan increased as endless eight start lol!
they blaming 'economy' But i am sure it just another word for 'anime'. :D
Geez.. I really wanted this to continue until 31th of August...
pardon my stupidity, *31st
"pardon my stupidity, *31st"
There's no pardons for anyone who would wish for more Endless Eight. You die by firing squad tomorrow.
Jesus Christ has this been a long summer.

Still not reason enough for me to start watching this tripe.
finally its over, I can start watching this series again without my brain shuting off. "or at least the last few episodes"
There is no forgiving what they have done.
And there is no way they can make up for it.
Mikuru=Kyon's Sister
Question. If Mikuru was actually Kyon’s Sister, wouldn't he had realized her sister's star shaped mole on her left chest during early childhood?
Also, could anyone find any star shaped mole on Kyon's sister's chest on any official art work, scenes, figures and so forth.
If true, may explain future mikuru's warning "Not to get close to me" toward Kyon.
Also, pity Kyon staring at his own sister's boobs on the PC. Maybe it would crush his poor soul...or not.
That would make a faptastic doujin.
i only waiting what upload the video "KYON-KUN DENWA"x8.
Anyone noticed the credits at the end of the episode? What does that mean? Are they packing up and "season 2" goes byebye?
I will never truly forgive or forget this fiasco, but if KyoAni go on to attempt to surprise us by treating the entire Endless Eight arc as a single episode and giving us another 10 new episodes in the second season I will at least tolerate their continued handling of the series. If, however, the new series ends in another 3 episodes without doing ANYTHING of worth then I will personally see their entire studio lynched. Out of gratitude for Clannad ~After Story~, I will at least kill them quickly.
NOOOO!!! Why must this fantastic troll end now?!?!
I'M NOT BEING SARCASTIC HERE. I was actually expecting it to go for 1 more episode you know... I heard it would end in the 3rd week of august... I think.
So ehm... how did it end?
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
and thus the season ends... When do we get season 3?
Thank god it ended leave us alone!
FINALLY
So sad that people eat this shit up and will still buy the DVDs thus proving kyoani dont need to put in any effort whatsoever cuz their fans will praise them regardless.
Cancer of Anime.
Fucking signed
I'm genuinely curious as to how the DVDs will do. If were lucky, those SOS twerps will finally drop off the radar again soon.
So how's the persistent loyal ones who still bought the whole series? how's it worth for the lost money? was it epic for an OVA? was it "OMG the moment of truth was so coool i could die now! *faint orgasm*, was the last episode ever made you the happiest loyalist in the world because what should happen there had to be soooo epic it should change the very foundation of your whole life like a new religion? Stand your ground dear loyal ones who would still like to defend the very last episode that it was so worth it made you cry for epic joy!
+1
There is NO fucking hell I'll buy this SHIT !
Oh my...
no moar "Kyon-ku Denwa~"
yeah that could run about a hundred times at least.
Thank god its over but I wish you retards would stop dissing kyoani. They make one mistake and you wish for them to go bankrupt. I would probably ahte it if they went bankrupt. Their past record has been good so far.
I won't forgive them for butchering Haruhi season 2, but i definitely think it would be a waste for them to the go bankrupt.
Don't be stupid folks. Good production companies are hard to come by.
We don't wish for them to go bankrupt. We wish for you to die.
HUNDREDS OF MISTAKES
GTH!
Hitler will be happy now.
god's in his heaven all's right in the world.
never before has this quote been more fitting for an anime
ahhh :(
I so wish I'd gone through Sankoku's link for the first six episodes. But I couldn't make it out... maybe if the subtitles had lasted a bit longer.
I've watched perfectly good animes two or three at once. Too bad I forgot I could do that.
"Someday we'll remember this and laugh, and laugh, and laugh..."
I liked the Endless Eight......... It was like Groundhog's Day (Bill Murray movie...), but... in anime form... Or maybe more like Higurashi? But without the gore... and every episode was the same... except for the animation in every episode. I bet the animators HATED the directors after this arc.
It finished on my birthday :D
well endless eight shoved a lot of haruhi fans away already.wonder if they'll come back next week :(
FINALYY!!!
Does anybody know whose (it would have been one person who drove it) brilliant idea this was??
Who is the actual name behind perpetrating this nonsense?
I was so happy to see the end that I watched it twice. To finally see Kyon put an end to this. Just...so happy it's finally over.
happy you watched 8 episodes of total fail for that ending? I expected something more intriguing than that since there was so much buildup of the 15 thousand plus loops. Disappointing really. happy it ending, sad it ended the way it did.
happy it ended, not ending dumb tard
So Endlees Eight has an ending? Go figutre...
Endless Eight highlights:
- Haruhi's ass
- Nagato in sukumizu
All in all it was a little annoying but those two made it tolerable.
Finally, it's over for the endless eight which is making crazy for over 8 episodes of the same shit.
I heard a random rumor that someone said that this episode is the end of the season. Their reason for stating this was because of the credits and how there was real action in the credits as opposed to your usual credits.
True to form of most shows. But you have to remember that kyutard wants to be "edgy" and "unexpected".
Just FF'd thru the latest episode and saw the last 6 minutes -because of course the rest was yet another recap of the last half dozen plus eps- that solved this dumb ass piece of shit. Seriously, this fucking story could of been done in THREE EPISODES.
THREE FUCKING EPISODES!
An EPIC Fuck-Up-Beyond-All-Recall FUBAR
Kyutard, please disappear and let go all those great animators (you already got rid of a great director-director of the original'~Haruhi'-)to go somewhere else and do greater things than that Piece Of Shit.
POS FUBAR EPIC SHAME...
Epic Shame.
Whatever anyone has to say about Haruhi these days, it's hard to deny the article pic here is damn fine.
Indeed!
And now see the DVD sales skyrocket!
LOL JAPAN
haruhiists reached a new level of retardation
That was the gayest ending ever! >:(
Why is everyone so happy? The next 6 episodes will be "The sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" (same shit all over again)
I don't care, I'm done with Haruhi. All those thousands of years, and the one thing holding everyone back was Kyon not wanting to do his homework?! What kind of shit is that!? >_<
I'm still not going to watch it.
Still lol'ing at all the losers who are complaining about Endless 8 xD

C-C-C-Combo Breaker
Too little too late?
Haven't all the sane, not boring people gotten over this season already?
oh i thought more endless eight. make it endless 24
Endless 24? Jack Bauer would've pwned that show... he'd solve everything in the first episode...
oh hell yes. i dont even want to think if well get to see disappearance T_T
I don't know if there was a preview, if not, I wonder if they're going to troll us next week with a Haruhi 2 recap episode. Or more Endless Eight for the hell of it.
Yes, I have gone mad, I will never trust anime makers again.
Hah... EE Recap... hahahahaa.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Kyoani will officially announce a marriage of Haruhi and the lucky Otaku who got the highest number of complete 2nd Season DVD Sets.
YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.
I might have made the sacrifice for Tsuruya.
I enjoy the series. I don't think the series itself is bad at all. In fact, the story is pretty well-done (especially if you read ahead in the novels) and is one of my favorites. The big problem with the series is just... the creators are doing the worst possible things they can to ruin it for us all... >.>;;;
BTW, anyone else just think the staff is stubborn and wanted to have 14 episodes, but because of the future events of the novels, they didn't have enough room in the second season to put it all? So they used Endless Eight to fill up the season instead of fillers, which they don't want to get into at all...
And possibly, the third season will not be as stupid?
Disappearance is not the biggest story in the series so far, to me... Just one of the most confusing...
I'm not buying one DVD. And that pic makes Haruhi's oppai malformed.
It's mostly because of the tan lines... Well, that, or the fact that the left one is bigger and has the nipple set higher than on the right one.
Either way, whoever drew this needs to look at an anatomy textbook; and practice more, but that goes without saying.
Yes I was thinking the same, that oppai seems rare for me
they should extend the 14 episode limit, into maybe 24 or 26 episodes
otherwise im still pissed
I've been doing some thinking (rarely happens, but bare with me). This "series" is supposedly 28 episodes long including the old episodes thrown in. Assuming they include all episodes of series 1 (inc Mikuru movie) then that's 14 new episodes in total. 8 of those endless eight, one bamboo leaf rhapsody. That leaves 5 episodes for other stories. For disappearance to be done properly, they'd need to dedicate at least 4 of those to it so it doesn't seem like glossing over the story. Alternatively, they could air random short stories and piss everyone off even more.
I'm hoping for a 3rd season or even a short OVA series. They need something to make up for what they did.
i think the melancholy of haruhi-chan and nyoron churuya san were a sort of pre-emptive apology they need to put them on the dvds with the e8 eps. either that of give nagato and mini asakura a spin off series :3
> They need something to make up for what they did.
K-ON!
While I did like K-On!, it isn't something that can replace Haruhi for me.
They have the problem of not having that much light novel left.
Yes, but they don't own the rights to those novels. There was already a legal battle over the current ones.
Have you even READ the novels? They have only covered around 2~3 volumes' worth so far in two 'seasons', with 4~5 volumes still untouched.
You call that 'not having that much left'?!
You read that "NitTWIT"?
There is NINE novelles already made! Problem with lack of novelles?!
what is "witnit"?
Uhh...there's a lot of light novel left. They've covered all of books one and three, and have had stories from books five and six. There are still chapters from five and six, not to mention books four, seven, and eight, so there's still a lot of material they can cover. I doubt they'll cover two, and nine is a two-parter which hasn't been concluded yet, but they still have quite a bit of material to work through.
Aren't DVDs for collecting purposes anyways? It shouldn't matter which episodes are in them, just give them pretty covers or something.
Or they can include some dancing in the final episode and regain the sympathy of most of the fans. It's not like otakus are a complex kind.
Believe it or not, some people actually watches the contents of their DVDs. Legends say you can watch it in your TV and even get some extra stuff as a bonus.
I wouldn't give that last part much credit, however.
I know, I heard of this DVD watching stuff too. I for one just leave my DVDs sitting on a shelf and never watch them. As for the legend of the extras, I heard if you see them some how, you go crazy and chop your own penis off.
mmm. Controversy does generate a shitload of publicity, that is certain.
In the next episode kyon bangs haurhi in the ass
thats the only way people would watch this shit again
Amen.
This will have to do untill then http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/513001/haruhi_suzumiya-nude-sex
That's a dead link you turkey.
If you all want to fap to some Haruhi, select the Images tab and just type:
Haruhi sex
Group gang banging, Kyon(or mysterious boy) fucking(or raping), yuri scissoring and gay "Ranma" style boy to girl shit is to be found there.
Well, I had a feeling that that pic was floating around SanChan, and I tried to find it, but it was taking forever. So, I uploaded it myself and posted that link. Guess I'll just have to sift through pages upon pages of Haruhi images... >sigh<
I finally found it. This one is of better quality any ways.

it worked awhile ago.....
Thank fucking god. Maybe the suicide rates will calm down a bit.
It's about time...
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES~!!
I'm So AGREE!!!!!!!!
i seriously wanted to die. xD
Moments ago at the White House,
My fellow Americans, at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in Anime history that will come to be known as the Endless Era, eight long weeks characterized by unprecedented aggression, a sharp decrease in fanservice, and sustained trolling from overseas. The insanity is over. After a long, dark period, the sun is finally rising again over America, and the world at large. We look forward to a bright new dawn not seen since the glory days of season one. The time has come to put Endless Eight behind us. - The President
YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN
And anime... anime never changes.
It's more than 30 pages, you know. Page 7 through 85, to be exact. In the original, anyway. Most people probably have to read those sub-par "translations" which really are quite terrible.
But yeah. Glad it's over. Episode 2, 3 and the last...5 or 6 minutes of number 9 is all you need. Sad.
"Anime never changes."
+1 Internet for hilarious Fallout reference.
Endless references.
Not fallout. MGS4!
Sweet fuckin' ^&%$#~!- I'm soo glad it's over! In a way the last 5-6 minutes was such a weight lifted off - It almost felt cathartic.
Why didn't Nagato just say "Hey!- shit head do your homework!" or why can't future Mikuru warn someone to make Kyon do his friggin' list the first time! - I know, no story.
So glad it's fuckin' over.
What was the point of the censorship after the word "fuckin'" if you already swore?
What a huge Fucking waste of animation was this huge Ass-Raping waste of a great NOVELLE 30 PAGE story telling.
Oh. I still hope that kyotard goes bankrupt soon when the 'K-ON' money dries up and they see Nothing in sells for this crap.
And this piece of shit handled story can be watched by the unknowing public with a HUGE warning to NOT watch ep 4 thru 8 because they'd only be pressing the FF button first during 5 and then Skipping till 9... in fact.
=====================
NOTE to Japanese english reading otakus: Skip the renting of volume 2 (which includes ep.3 but I'd still advice you skip it to Not waste money) to volume 4. You'll enjoy it if such steps where had.
Ep 2,3 & 9 of the NEW releases is ALL you need to watch for this story to fully enjoy '~Haruhi'.
=====================
...And even those three where too GodDamn much for such a tale!
Wasn't funny on Random Curiosity, not funny here.
Wakka wakka! Did you hear the one about the priest and the lolicon? Me neither! Wakka wakka!
The only thing funny in Sankaku Complex is the commentaries, really.
+5
Can we get through this? YES, Yes we can! Im dissapointed though, all this time i was awaiting Haruhi for the piece of shit they released. In the end overhyped series are doomed to fail. Well overhyped series that have a plot anyway, im sure K-ON and others as such will survive no matter how much shit they dish out. If Endless Eight was constant reruns of Haruhis sex events with Kyon, im sure none would've complained. They did it wrong.
