I was frustrated but I find it kind of...cool.. (lol) that we can be frustrated, at least for Nagato, who has been through it many, many...more times than we have, and hopefully, ever will.

What I don't really get is how is Nagato only got bored on the 15,498th time, and no time before it? (since they didn't come to the realization the 15,497th time)

It's not really that important or anything, just curious.

How would you all know it was the 15,497th time in episode 12? It could have been the first or 1377th time, too. There is nothing to prove this.

Personally I would like to believe it was the 1,337th time.

... argh. I assumed it would have finished this time around but no; now we'll go through another episode of this.

... god help us if this takes eight (endless) episodes.

P.S. Was I the only one who expected Nagato to say this time around was like 17,432nd time or something like that?

Yeah, I really liked it the first time, but now, it's getting kinda boring. =.=
If I can barely stand it being repeated twice, how can Yuki stand 15,499? o.O

If the next episode is like this, I'm gonna scream.

It has nothing to do with Nagato, Asahina just didn't try to contact the future in that loop. It's that easy...

Yeah I was expecting/hoping for something like that as well. Might have made a big impact to know that it's been many years since the last episode occurred. xD

(I realise that something like this wasn't in the novels... [not that it has to be 100% accurate anyway.. unless the number somehow plays a role later] but at least something new in this episode would have been greatly appreciated)

You can look at this two ways.

The first way is "KyoAni are trying something different, trying to make you feel the same way the characters do"

The second way is "What the FUCK, KyoAni?"

When you mixed the two, you end up with the view KyoAni tried to pull off something "deep", but showing an audience the same thing twice will never work and KyoAni are retards for thinking it will.

Haruhi has now lost all the credit it built up with the first season.

In the future, when talking about Haruhi, people will say "the first season was good, but the second one is shit."

A friend brought to my attention that this endless summer doesn't make sense, because if that was the case then Mikuru would not exist since she was born in the future outside of the time loop. Man my brain is gona hurt after this one, but I am in to deep to stop now.

It makes more "sense" (it's Haruhi, the show where rules can be made up out of nowhere) if you think of it as this summer being cut out of the timeline and being its own. The past and future still exist, you just can't reach them from the place "summer" is currently in.

I think I shall not make any judgment about the broadcasting of three almost-identical episodes in 3 weeks, until the season is over.

Right now, I'm rather upset I wasted the entire week expecting a conclusion to this timeloop thing this week. However, I'm hoping that KyoAni would be able to justify their direction of Endless Eight soon and redeem themselves in the episodes to come in this season.

Nagato being bored and Asahina contacting the future don't have anything to deal with each other. Nagato has the memory from each repeat, Asahina doesn't.

Then I probably didn't understand your problem. I just said that the meeting concerning "We are trapped in a loop" is caused by Asahina trying to contact the future. Nagato didn't just tell them out of boredom... she isn't even bored, she's an emotionless robot, she can't be bored in the first place.

No, no. Kyon was like 'what is this? Nagato seems....bored' or something. and then he did it again in ep 4 (so both 3 and 4, but not 2, the day I was assuming to be 15,497, but may as well not be)

And the meeting that happened in 3, that repeated in ep 4 (but didn't happen in 2-right? XD) may have also happend a bajillion times lol, but Kyon doesn't keep his memories.

I have no more questions, just wanted to clear up what I started, I guess XD

Oh, you were talking about that... oh well, I guess that's all the variation we can expect from Endless Eight. Kyon said something he di not say last episode!!!!!! Best episode ever, 5/5!

There are no more new episodes for the new season...IT'S ALL JUST ENDLESS EIGHT!!!!

...Is the reaction I'm having. Seriously though, did we really need to see this arc go up to 4 eps long? I'm hoping the 15,500th time is the charm, 'cause I'd like to see the actual 'disappearence' arc of this season.

I reread the chapter Endless Eight!
There were suppose to be 4 parts for Endless Eight!
Next week Endless Eight part 4 is the ending for that episodes!

Kyoani or kadokawa aren't trolling us with Endless Eight!
We should be Happy that we got season 2 of Haruhi instead of Trolling or waiting!
so please be patient!

Next new episode-
Endless eight part 4

Well, everyone is bashing that episode and I kind of understand it... it really is testing our patience and tightening it to the extreme, but... even though the script of both episodes were almost identical, both of them had really different mood - at least for me.

The previous episode (3rd, 13th, or simply Endless Eight II, to remove ambiguity) was much about the boredom of Nagato. Kyon even points it out himself, as we see the scene where he asks her if she's doing well.

Endless Eight III, on the other hand, emphasizes the deja vu impression that Kyon gets. Notice all the mysterious music where we had silence in EE2, and how he gets angry after Asahina&Koizumi's phone call, while he stayed calm in previous episode.

Endless Eight II was about Yuki, Endless Eight III is about Kyon. EE2 was about boredom, EE3 is about anger and... some mystery and fear for it, I would say. We all are getting angry at Kadokawa & KyoAni, just like Kyon was angry at his deja vu feeling. And he was scared of it, just like we are scared of having to watch Endless Eight endlessly.

I agree, though - four episodes for Endless Eight is too much. But nevertheless I enjoyed it surprisingly much, especially taking into account that after previous episode I thought that more than 3 Endless Eights would be unwatchable. But somehow it managed to get 4/5 from me.

KyoAni is so doing this on purpose! Ahhhhh! I love it. Everyone wanted Haruhi, well they got her on repeat.

Whatever man. I just hope they will NOT do this for fucking 8 episodes, if they do. Idk I think they are trolling our asses big times. I read the novels and I didn't expect this to last so long but oh well. Haruhi is Haruhi and if they want to give us the same shit I can deal and love.
