Aside from what I mentioned earlier, I didn’t notice much that sets this iteration (#15521, which equals over 595 years as Kyon calculates) apart from the others. The brief conversation Kyon has with Yuki was done during the test of courage instead of at the batting center, and Kyon later doodles the number 8 on the completed list - I wonder if that’s a sign of how long this will go. I also thought I saw a few people in the background during the pool scene who resembled other characters from Kyoto Animation shows - specifically Nagisa and Ritsu - but those were distance shots where it’s hard to tell for sure, so it might have just been a coincidence. In any case, this’ll supposedly all end next week on the sixth Endless Eight episode, and while I of course will be watching, I’m not getting my hopes up.

Wow, this one looks quite a bit different from the others ^^
And I also noticed Nagisa D: I thought it was just me

I await the rage comments here now, I bet the users who comment below about this episode will be annoying as always stating the same thing from the last episode.

Isn’t it obvious how many times will this be repeated? Obviously, eight times. That’s why the title is Endless Eight ( endless because this, without doubts, is boring ). Why not reinterpreting the sense of the title. The ones living the loop are the fans. I mean the characters repeated it 15521 times. We will repeat it 8 times.
Makes sense: Endless eight.

This is what KyoAni calls “taking it real slow”. I gotta admit it’s a unique strategy for suspense though…

I’m starting to hope that it ends with Ushio and robo-tomoya bustin in there and saying “We’re tired of this shit.”
And then they beat KyoAni till they pass out.

i just don’t understand why they are even doing this. If you think about it, a regular season of anime is around 26 episodes. This on the other hand is less than 26. Now, 8 episodes out of this is roughly a little less than 1/3 or the entire plot. If this were any other series, it would be complete suicide for the entire series, because it’s 8 episodes with no new plot, no new character development, and no new anything. This can also be thought of as jumping the shark. Everyone bitches about this, and their are people that want it to end, but they completely wasted 8 weeks on this nonsense, and thats 8 weeks they cant use for anything new.
I’m not bitching, i’m just saying why this arc is completely ridiculous.
Kuya at 8:09 pm on July 16th, 2009
Lol, it’s nice to see where loyalties lie with the Suzumiya fanbase xD.
Yeah, kyoani is taking an unnecessary and weird step with this arc, but I think all their previous work warrants some forgiveness here. What was that saying?
“You fly hundreds of planes a year without a hitch, but you have one little mid-flight nervous breakdown and suddenly that’s all anyone thinks about.”

It wouldn’t be so bad if they did different activities each time, but they’re recycling it all and it’s getting to be pretty bad. Variety never hurt, yet, they seem to be avoiding it like the plague.

8 = august for all the people going on about 8 episodes

I guess they want to make a third season of this keem. I don’t see what’s all the fuss is about. They’re just repeating the same episode countless times. Its still Haruhi we’re talking about. Its still one of the best show out there (which just tell you how much BS is hitting the air nowadays) Now I have to take my foot out of my mouth since I just stuck up for KyoAni. Hell, this episode was so fucked up even Nagisa had to ‘fuzz’ up to see what the hell was going on…which means in the middle of clannad’s crap they repeated 2 weeks 15521 times. That’s unforgiveable. Haruhi needs to spend some time in hell for that. I’ll arrange her trip there shortly.
Kils at 8:27 pm on July 16th, 2009
Actually. Now after pondering on this, I finally understand the message. Haruhi’s favourite number is 8. Yes! It’s just japanese people are shy, they tend to complicate things 2 much.

same here~ i think i see nagisa~ XD

“and Kyon later doodles the number 8 on the completed list”
I think the 8 stands for Infinity sign…because if there are 2 more of this, I am sure the End of the world is near.
senefen at 8:52 pm on July 16th, 2009
Is he doodling 8 or ∞
Darma Shoten at 9:18 pm on July 16th, 2009
the 8 probably signifies both the number and the infinity sign…probably.
Skins T at 9:35 pm on July 16th, 2009
Personally there is no good reason for continuing this nonsense. -_-;

Yuki is getting cuter by each episode. xD
