yep, although i was kinda expecting something a little more spectacular at the end, considering 7 episodes of buildup. looking forward to the rest of the epshasteroth wrote:Whoa whoa whoa holy shit holy shit.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Aaaah, enjoyed it throughly. I'm sad for those that just deemed endless eight as utter crap and skipped the episodes because the general content was the same. All the episodes had some specific focuses and ways to handle the two weeks time, be it making the spectator BE Kyon, through specific ways to wiggle the camera round and watching things, or perhaps being more focused on certain events rather than others. Some changes on these things were slight, but I felt that this episode was putting all the styles together, and the ending just went through the focuses of the various episodes to finally get what was lacking (which honestly, was kinda obvious since the beginning even if I hadn't read the light novel). I say that KyoAni handled it well, and I liked Endless Eight. Now if you didn't, too bad, I can't force my opinion on you, but I think that endless eight is worth watching more times through to get better all the focuses of the various episodes, and I might do just that... just not now.
EDIT: I just happened to write up a more in-depth report on how endless eight felt to me so I'll post it here (a bit on the longpost side, so under spoiler, even though I don't think I said anything actually spoilerous) - slightly redacted for typos et similia:
So yeah, I think I was able to enjoy endless eight because I actually tried to enjoy it. If I didn't try to look what KyoAni was exactly trying to do with every single episode, I think I'd be pretty much "meh, it finally ended" myself. Again, though, I might just be overanalyzing it, but I'd feel a bit surprised if it was the case.
I think I can safely compare Endless Eight to Bakemonogatari: if you go beyond just what you see and try to think what they are doing, it's much more enjoyable - the difference is that in EE you don't need specific knowledge, since everything gets set up and subtly explained in the first 2 eps, whilst in Bakemonogatari a small background is required, since you'd need to know something about Freud. Though I admit that Bakemonogatari, if you don't grasp the "behind the scene", still is a cool show, whereas EE is just boring if you don't get it.

Endless Eight has ended (which means it's not really endless). I'm sad to see this happen -- I got into a comfort zone.
No more Haruhi and co. in swimsuits at the pool.
No more Haruhi and co. in yukatas at a Bon Dance.
No more Haruhi and co. catching cicadas.
No more Haruhi and co. in frog suits (ok, everyone except Haruhi).
No more Haruhi and co. stargazing.
No more batting cages, karaoke, bowling, tests of courage, and other activities.
I guess summer vacation is over. /sigh

I'd really, really love them to show reruns of Endless 8 next week instead of a new ep.

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
it was anoyoing to wait a week for a new haruhi eps just to see it was 95% the same thing as the last one, so I decided i'd just wait till all 8 episodes come out and marathon watch it, which will be less anoying. Except now I don;t have a good internet connection to download them on yet. go figure ;p

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
somehow the latest episode seemed really annoying ... and the animation seemed worse than usual. Or was I imagining that ...?

Nope, KyoAni's finally ending up in the toilet...
Watching Gonzo's Shangri-la helps a bit, though their animation is starting to get inconsistent too [eep]
Looks like the only BIG high qual. animation I can look forward too will be the new Fate Stay UBW. [saw the preview for it? your very eyes will jizz on your pants...]

Re: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Haruhi Season 3. Yeah I actually saw mention of that eh.
Am I buying into it? No not on your life. That news item just hasn't got a chance.

Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

So I was going through my s1 DVDs and jumping randomly through them while filtering... and I noticed this...
