The latest episode of Haruhi brings the start of a new and much anticipated arc, The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya / 涼宮ハルヒの溜息 (- no Tameiki), originally expected by many to air much earlier in the second season’s schedule until the looping of the Endless Eight became evident.
The episode is clearly marked as “Part I”, so a continuation is obvious, putting into some confusion where exactly the few unaired episodes from the first season will be shown in the reportedly 28-episode long broadcast.
Aside from the obvious fan relief to see another multi-part arc commence, sharp eyed 2ch-goers did note one likely in–studio reference from KyoAni: these seemingly Mio and Yui lookalikes in the train near the end of the episode:
Many comments regarding the significant resemblance between the character designs used for the new Haruhi episodes and that used for K-ON! are also circling about, perhaps making this cameo all the more fitting.

Endless Hate has pretty much turned me totally off...
I got the light novels, so I might as well just read them and get over with the story.
KyoAni.. I'm dissapointed in you.
Kanon, Clannad, Afterstory, Lucky Star, Haruhi Suzumiya 1st season... K-On.
And now, you think that you'll still have HUGE audiences...?
Cheers;

Hankyu! Kewl.

The animator of all those hands is still amazing.. but... The faces.
Wow. This isn't the first season by far; what with the spec sheets being utterly ignored in many shots of Haruhi. Since this is the newest episode of the show, I actually watched it thru to.. the... end.....- No I lied!
I lied! I dozed off halfway thru~ I look at those pictures but don't remember nearly half of them! The carter malaise of '~Haruhi' still exists!!!
I am going to drink some More coffee, wait till the afternoon. and Watch. This. Episode.
But back to the first paragraph: Maybe it really means that most of the original animation crew who worked on the first one are not working for kyu-tard.
Outside of that astounding hand animation, the rest -Haruhi the most glaring- is somewhat less then the past.
Haruhi FUCKING SUCKS! I say Mikuru sends them all back to the morning of August 6th ,1945 and watch the beautiful Fiyawerks!!!!!!!! EVERYONE WINS OOHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
except for you.
I wasn't born in japan , so I do win dipshit.
U realize that wouldnt end well for anyone.
Haruhi:What was that? Where are Mikuru, Koizumi, and Kyon?
Yuki:They died.
Haruhi:I will make whoever killed them pay. Wiat, why are u still alive Yuki?
Soldier:Those clothes violate the Bushido code, u will be executed for treason.(fires his gun)
Haruhi(stops bullet):What? I can do that? Now I will destroy u all for hurting my brigade members.
Gods second coming, a hundred years early.
1. She's not god. 2. They all be destroyed in a nuclear blast and if they lived they be irradiated 3. She can't change the past dumbass , if she did she probably wouldn't exist.
obviously you're a fucking loser if you go so in depth of a retarded ass anime. And none can be god because japs originally worshipped many gods,cause they're freaks
Technically, based on the information we have so far, any one of the characters could be god, but the general assumption in discussions unless stated otherwise is that Haruhi is god. And one of them must be god considering that the world, including Haruhi and the IDE, was totally rewritten in Disappearance. Also the reason Mikuru's faction showed interest in Haruhi in the first place is because they were unable to travel back to before Haruhi's data explosion so 1945 does not exist in that universe. And even if Haruhi somehow died Yuki still wouldnt be affected at all. According to Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya she can block anything from lasers to mini-black holes with minimal damage so a pre-fusion power A-bomb wounldnt do much.
Except Kyon is god, not Haruhi. :P
post test under way
Sigh... i hope this can repair damage done by endless boredom...
The endless eight is finally over? I...I feel so at peace now.
lol... finally... i´ve got pretty high hopes for this arc^^
DO WANT!
After reading the novels, I can guarantee that Sighs is an awesome arc. Lots of weird things going on. Oh - and don't forget the talking cat.

2nd line / 1st picture...
These two girls resemble me of Azu-Nyan and Ritsu a little
duh
New animation is a lot more detailed and better looking if you ask me. Look at the old and new side by side and the difference is pretty clear.
Now it would be interesting if the rest of the eps being aired are all new ones, and they don't actually bother finish re-airing the first season in between, just to make things more confusing
wont happen according to this timeline:

They sticked to the chronolgical order with this new Season. I guess it ends with someday in the rain..sadly.
I, for one, enjoyed Endless Eight. After that arc, I really started respecting KyoAni more. I think Endless Eight proved that KyoAni aren't just doing whatever their fans ask. And that they value being artistic over being rich. Things like Endless Eight is what a show like Haruhi is really all about, really, only the people who started watching it just because everyone else did won't get that.
Anime fans act like they are so damn full of love and respect for their shows their creators. But things like Endless Eight prove just how full of shit they really are. I thought that the arc was an unique experience, and that it was a very brave move for any animation studio to do. The people who didn't enjoy or understand Endless Eight weren't the ones who enjoyed the first season of Haruhi for the right reasons.
I haven't seen the new episode yet, but I'm really looking forward to the new arc. I didn't like Haruhi that much BEFORE Endless Eight, honestly, but now I'm really loving it. So all you EE-haters, get out of this fandom quick so that I can have all of this entertaining show all for myself. <3
About the animation, I can't say that "I hate it" or that "it's bad", but... I saw the leaning towards the K-On! style from episode one of the new season. It's "different", and I don't know if I think this kind of style suits Haruhi the way it did K-On!, but as long as the animation flow and details are good I can't really find a good reason to complain.
MAKE THE EPS COME FASTER KYO ANI!! hell you had wasted 2 eps..you should have had the time to create more eps...
oh man sooo many haters. i thought this episode was great. i lol'd so much, especially over everyones assignments for the movie xD.
The amount of QUALITY in this episode is horrible. KyoAni must of run out of money making the endless eight arc.
I like how the screenshots make it look indistinguishable from any other episode.
2010 haruhi calendar: the same picture for 8 months.
What? No more Endless Eight?? :(
where is Tsuruya-san?
in the 10th image... The fourth square... ¿k-on? XD
..lmao, the last picture got me, where shes carrying a Desert Eagle.
That's not a Desert Eagle it's replica toy,cause Japan sucks . Can't own or sell guns there , instead you can buy BB & Air Soft WOOPTY FUCKING DOO!!
Make Haruhi looks like Haruhi. NOT YUI!!!
They already destroyed this thing, so NO THANKS!
...the characters look less cute than last season...
hell yeah, more haruhi.....not endless eight
Haruhi's face looks extra retarded.
Geesh, for the luv of otakus, there's nothing for the series anymore, the story's just that and that's it.
Itsuki's face in pic no.5 started to show some sign of QUALITY..
And your comment here shows a sign of retardedness.
Stop attempting to start a flame war with your random trolling and go back to bed, Little Jim.
Awesome Kong is not awesome. At all.
samefag^
MeidoNiac, go suck a elephants cock bitch
That Itsuki pic makes me blood boil.I hate the new art style and that picture makes it blatantly obvious that it's not the same awesome style from season 1.
I thought it looked rather good, actually. On that pic, mind you, I'm not watching season 2.
TOTALLY NOT MAI YUI AND MIO. Their skirts are different colors, and the hair lengths are also too short - Yui's hair comes a little more past her neck, and Mio's hair is waaaaay longer. Their heights are also wrong (but then again, knowing Kyoto Animation and that last fiasco with the album and perspective...).
But if it really was Yui and Mio, I'm a little mad. I support more Ritsu x Mio...
They look nothing like mio, and man, what happened to kyoani ? they really dont care about haruhi, this episode looks like it was animated by trainees. Substandart animation, inconcistente character design, and none of the features from kyoani previous animation, gonne is the hair detail of mikuru and haruhi.
the hell
doesn't look like them at all
You need to be a little bit more creative to spot them I guess.
I can make them out.
IMO, the new art style SUCKS. Bring back the old one, KyoAni!
yeah the new art style does suk. Nagato especially looks weird. Haruhi reminds me too much of Yui for some reason. Bring back the old style!
hell yes, the old style was much better. haruhi is now a bit ugly whenever she does an expression... stupid kyoani and their money-saving scheme to simply use the K-ON artists.
I never lreally noticed till you said that, but you're right. She is rather Yui-ish. (How observant I are...)
I think the only real difference is how Haruhi looks in these new episodes. IMO, the others still look the same.
New style? When did it ever change?
Haven't you noticed how different Haruhi looks in this season compared to the 2006 season?
Yuki has super speed.
Yuki can kick superman's ass.
Superman's ass?! Wha..?
Rule 34.
But only Wesley Willis can whoop Batman's ass.
Especially when he gets on his nerbs.
XD

Ban get.
ban yourself too, it's just a fake news website, and you on purpose attract the 4chan crowd who does shit like this, you're not allowed to be annoyed with their actions. sell the site and leave the internet, or harden the fuck up, chinko.

"Bang yourself in the Artefact's butthole" get.
PWNGE!!
KyoAni should've aired this arc in reverse order just to piss everyone off. It would've been awesome. :)
They should air another endless 8 next
They should've aired the remaining 1st season eps before finishing e8. Now THAT would be a troll.
Nah,a better idea would have been alternating endless arc and this arc in total random order XD
They should've end Endless Eight on the 2nd part, & aired this one instead.
