Aya Hirano: “Endless Eight was Awful for Viewers!”

as long as she gets payed for her, I believe she didn't really mind it

It doesn’t matter how many times I’m told to do it, I don’t want to do it anymore, enough already, enough! I can’t do it more than 8 times, that’s the limit!

and that's what she said

The part that kills me is that worthless weeaboos and otaku will buy the bullshit dvd's and bullshit merchandise anyway because they're fucking weak.

i wonder who is the genius who pushed to have endless eight like that? >.>

Just waitin for Nice Boat-esque meme, here.

Oh, wait that's right, CATCH AND RELEASE.

anybody else's stomach just turn after reading that?

Well I can say though that I'm not wanting to watch anymore episodes of this series until the aftershock is gone....

-_-

Come on guys. She has no control over what the production team does with the show. She simply voices the lines she's told to voice.

Also this is kind of the Japanese way of apologizing without actually apologizing.

So I doubt she's just saying this for 'attention' or whatever. Christ...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~!!!

ALL SCRIPTED!!! THAT INTERVIEW IS A SHAM!!! BAH!

I can't imagine the higher-ups will take kindly to this.

Too bad Hirano's limits weren't one ep only. Lawl XD

Endlesss eight Ka?.....At least respect the fans of the show you dumbasss kyotoAnimation....I like the show but the e.e arc was too much for me.....

"we were like what? Eh? Eh? Eh?"

hmm... I'd really want to hear that "eh? eh? eh?" probably cute to hear

Wow, pathetic.She's just saying that so people won't hate her giant foreheaded , crosseyed,jap radiated self.I bet she didn't give a rat's that she's saying same lines 8 fucking times; all she care was she's getting paid for doing a shitty job like all jap voice actors.

DVD sales will reveal all.

When are they due for release?

I liked that Haruhi had like eight different Bikinis!- lol. I'd love to see Aya Hirano model in each one of the "E.E." Bikini's - My Fav was the red one towards then. This Arc would've been so much more 'watchable' if they changed the list of things they had to do every episode. Like: Go to the Beach, Have a picnic, Ball game, Paint ball, water park, Crab hunting (on a boat), life guarding, paint a house, pass out free samples of something, volunteer at a Old Age home, Perform in play, work the phones at a the suicide hotline- lol.
It would've been cool to see different versions of the same events. Like Mikuru gets more Cicadas or Koisomi has to wear the Frog costume...it would keep fans guessing as to what the 'changes' meant.
But no. The Image Below is what I will always remember about "Endless Eight"- The End (lol). that and Haruhi's excellent Butt shot.

it's designed that way to identify the true believers, the rest of you won't get a ticket when the ark arrives.

I loved Endless Eight! the producers were so brave to pull it! i really enjoyed!

I'm actually quite glad they ran the Endless Eight arc. Now, every time a boneheaded Haruhi fan likens the series to the second coming of Christ, I've got two handy little words to shoot right back at them.

She's right.

After an epic fail of the series, all rats escape form the sinking ship hahah

The thing Im confused about is what they saw in doing the same stuff eight times over. Seriously, none could possible like to watch a rerun of the same episode of any tv show straight in a row.

Hopefully it wasn't greed or laziness that struck them and all of this was a unintentially error from dope or similar. However, not to offend the staff at Kyoto or anything.But, with all that happened right before the second season it's not a complete surprise, that they screwded up even more.

Hopefully someday they can plug open their ears and listen to the fans so they don't make the same horrible misstake eight times in a row again...

Evangelion last 2 episodes
Haruhi Endless 8
Reading people comments about them is the real watching

So if everyone working on it hated it then why the fuck did KyoAni even go through with it?

Hm, I liked the EE-Arc... but mor than 8 would start to be annoying.

You could really hear their relief in Endless Eight 8 when it ended. I didn't think that it was all acting. lol

I'll bet she'd do another episode if they asked her to. :)

Here's hoping! *crosses fingers*

"It doesn’t matter how many times I’m told to do it, I don’t want to do it anymore, enough already, enough! I can’t do it more than 8 times, that’s the limit!"

mommmmmmmmmmm...these words are making me feel funny...

Fine, whatever, does it really matter anymore, Aya should've said these comments long time ago, it seems that this is probably to appease the idiots out there that don't get that this was all to make money, and at the end of the day Kadokawa doesn't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

I still believe that everyone in Japan should boycott the DVDs, however knowing how stupid every otaku is, the DVDs will probably break record sales :(

Heh. I find it quite amusing how the higher-ups are trying to make out they are masterminds and that the arc will forever be remembered for positive reasons, when infact it was the death of the Haruhi franchaise. How these people are still in a job is beyond me.

That's why she's my big fore-headed waifu.

And the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children, yea even unto the 8th fucking generation of rehashes.

(But I still loved every minute of it, think Minimalism)

I bet thy had the easiest days of their lives recording these. But I can't seriously expect her to be honest about this.

At least she apologized.

My question then becomes, if the former director, voice actors, and artists all thought this was a horrible idea why did they think the fans would think it was great?

As infuriating as Endless Eight was, I have to on some level admire the wit and cynicism that informed it. Assuming that wit and cynicism was involved, ofcourse.

My only real regret now that it has passed and we can stand back survey the damage, is they didn't show what happened during, say, the 11,054th reset, when they DIDN'T go to the Bon Festival. What DID they do instead, and so on. Or...it would have been nice to have thrown in one of the resets where they worked the cash registers instead of handing out balloons while wearing frog suits.

But I suppose that will have to wait for the OVA's.
