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!!
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*
everytime i heard “Nya”
i always remember seto gozaburo~~~
That was kinda weird but of course they wouldnt say anything more harsh…or would XD
People are seriously overreacting to this. It is ANIME ffs. Get your s♥♥t together and wait 8 episodes. ITS NOT GOING TO KILL YOU
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,
