An official interview with the Kyoto Animation production staff of Haruhi’s much loathed Endless Eight arc reveals that staff are angry enough to allow their displeasure a public airing.
The interview between “Kuroneko-man” and one of the animators, published on the official KyoAni website, seems to suggest staff are greatly aggrieved at the decision to air the same episode eight times with minor changes throughout:
What’s it like making the same episode over and over-nya?
There’s a variety of stuff to do for each production team and even with the subject material being the same there’s plenty which differs, so it’s interesting.
The answer of a model pupil-nya.
No, no, even with a normal series we often wonder “what would the other team do here?” Seeing that in actuality is very interesting!
I thought I heard one of the people behind groaning that he wants to get it done with-nya…
I think I understand how Nagato feels.
Everyone behind is strongly agreeing-nya. Everyone empathises with Yuki-nyan being really bored-nya…
I don’t know what you are talking about.
Sometimes we do get confused over which yukata or swimsuit goes in which episode though.
If you keep doing the same scene over, your outlook broadens as you can try a variety of methods.
Oh! Everyone behind you is booing loudly-nya! Isn’t that what they really think-nya!?
It’s true! I really think that!!

We're all getting fucking trolled desu.
The only thing that would justify another iteration would be the repeat with a wardrobe malfunction at the pool.
so if they hate it just stop it really
I'm not a Haruhi fan, though I've watched it and found Yuki's DFC quite pleasing. (Other KyoAni products make me vomit beecause of my severe moe-allergy)
Now... good job, KyoAni, good job in trolling the zerling mass of haruhi faggots. The amounts of hate they generate may definitely shift the balance of good and evil.
Kuroneko man?
Nyan!!!
Mew..
i'm still watching coz i LOVE haruhi, i don't mind the endless eight, but they should make the 2nd season 26 eps love with lots of haruhi fan service :D
You are officialy brainwashed.
just a thought about all this endless 8 eps...what if all these episodes are counted as one? o.o
thats an extremely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG shot, and if they did, there'd be a mob in front of the kyoto building
I know what happened.
Andy Kaufman never really died. He just moved to Japan and has spent the last three decades working his way up in the anime industry.
This is all his way of getting back at us for making that damn biopic with Jim Carrey, crap...
Oh no, not the Kaufman analogy.
Do you want to see my Jimmy Carter impression?

oh wow... does that mean that KyoAni has 8 teams working on it simultaneously and independently besides costumes?
Endless Eight is actually good then.
im convinced the dvd sales will drop tremendously. there is no way this scheme will give any positive effect on the company.
so if even the staff hates this who the hell thoguth this would be a good idea?
Sounds like Joe from Yugioh The Abridged Series ep 40..

lol
My biggest injustice is because of this prank/experiment/troll, Tsuruya-san may never appear now!
if they go any more than eight episodes...
And if they wanted to get us to understand the boredom that the characters feel... they would probably give us an ENTIRE 15,524 EPISODES OF THIS SHIT-nya.
Well, the novel stated that almost half the times the heroes haven't noticed being in a time loop. That would make an almost different sort of episodes.
The best thing about the Endless Eight Arc is hearing Imouto-san saying "Kyon-kun, denwa". Gets me every time.
The episode is called "Endless Eight" so... I wouldn't be surprised if they ran it 8 times with slight changes...
nya! kyoani is washing their hands, but you cant lie to me, I knwo you love to troll!
never watched haruhi so all i can say is nya~
I can't even understand what the fuck is being said in this interview.
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
I thought Endless Eight wasn't so fucking long. I don't think I'm going to watch all of this crap.
everytime i heard "Nya"
i always remember seto gozaburo~~~
what if the dvds are actually teh new episodedes and kyoani will make some sort of blazing comeback?! O_O after all the trolling the most unexpected thing would be doing things properly XD *demands money from kyonani for hint*
That was kinda weird but of course they wouldnt say anything more harsh...or would XD
Bravo, what a way to fuck your own best money making franchise. If S2 is 12-13 eps series, this is like 50 percent content gone to looping Endless Eight story. It is like KyoAni thumbing their nose and show middle finger at impatient Haruhi fans after 2006 success.
BROOKLYN RAAAAGE!
Seriously, I just got into Haruhi Suzumiya like 2 weeks ago and now I come across this?
I can't even think about suffering for 3 years for something like this and just hitting a huge wall.
I really don't know what KyoAni is trying to pull off..
I had them in my top position for anime... Clannad, Clannad Afterstory, Lucky star, etc.
Cheers,
Nick
People are seriously overreacting to this. It is ANIME ffs. Get your shit together and wait 8 episodes. ITS NOT GOING TO KILL YOU
.....My whole body was nyaaed...
moe moe nya~~~ ^^
Sounds like KyoAni is in despair.
I think I like Kuroneko-man already.
Some of the reactions to this Endless Eight debacle make it seem as though KyoAni was involved in something much worse, like slave labor or genocide.
KyoAni have committed crime against humanity nya~.
Most Japanese companies have their roots in that from WW2 nya
the endless 8 arc should have ended 12 episodes ago.
Certainly feels like it was more than TWELVE episodes now pasts.
Fuck. Maybe they'll just air this shit till All twelve new episodes are done.
Personally, I like the artistic concept behind the Endless Eight arc - is there a better way to illustrate the boredom and repetition of being stuck in a Groundhog Day situation for an unimaginable length of time, than this? Ideally, the viewer would experience something similar to the characters, but keep watching in the hope that something new happens to break the pattern, or some small detail is revealed that reflects it all in a new light.
That said, I would still somewhat like to know what the bloody fuck they're trying to pull. I mean, come on! Are they seriously going to force it out to eight? That'd so damn pretentious. And boring, Jesus holy Christ... How many people are even bothering to watch the episodes anymore, rather than checking the first scene, and buggering off?
I can sorta appreciate what they're trying to do, but only because I don't have to pay for the DVDs or even make time in my schedule to watch it as it airs. If I did have to, I'd be pissed.
What I can't really stand is thinking about what arcs are going to have to wait till season three because this arc is so long.
The fanboys are still watching it >_> And some are even calling it a masterpiece.. Pfft yeah right
...this STILL continues to be an ENDLESS issue-nya!
Very interesting insight-nya.
Not this clown again...So who the hell are you? Time-independent or time-dependent?
It would've been more exciting if there was moar scenes of Mikuru being groped by Haruhi -nya
The disaster that is the Endless Loop can be saved if the next loop would have nopan and nobra female characters.
I think I just killed a braincell reading that.
Only one? xD meh hoped that people will lose moar then only 1 brain cell xD
Please fall down some stairs.
Even if it's just one, it'd make me feel better.
