Today I rewatched endless 8.
It was really interesting to watch it again without being pissed every week that they redid the same episode.
You start to notice how they mix it up in terms of scene composition and music to reproduce the same feelings of endlessness in other ways. I have a new appreciation for it, even if I would've rather they adapted more material.
Which version did you like the best?
What about the one-off lines in each version?
Mines
>THREE DAYS in engrish.
Why does she sit like that?
she has brain cancer
I just want to fuck Mikuru.
Give me an argument to convince my younger bro to sit through it. He's dropped Haruhi at the first E8 episode because a friend told him about it and it sounded lame.
Were they not called the Endless Eight back then?
AH RAAB YUU
Maybe her butt hurts.
She pissed herself.
If your his Aniki beat the shit out of him, if your his Onee san, fuck him.
>mfw otouto is bigger than me
I downloaded S2 but never watched it because of the E8 rage threads here.
I'd like to go back and see if it's OK artistically, like you said.
Watching it in two episode "bites" over a period of four days makes it bearable.
They could have done more variation such as having done other things, etc..
I did like the Haruhi character wearing the 69 jersey shirt in I think, episode 5. Shows someone at Kyo-ani had a sense of humor.
From what?
I liked how kyon constantly made Gundam references.
I liked when kyon was denwa
It sounds lame and it is lame. Even the people in charge acknowledged it was a dumb idea. Only worth for the few cynical people who were there during the original broadcast, watching the shitshow live.
You do have to admire the sheer balls of it, can you imagine any other anime that's as popular as haruhi was then doing this shit? No, because haruhi already showed it's a horrible idea, but still
>69 shirt
The oppai was strong.
It's been 3 years - this rings true but I can't remember any specific reference..?
I found myself laughing out loud at how hard i was being trolled.
This.
Endless eight is for strict canon/chronological puritans (in this case, anime only but who wants to read LNs?)
You do it because that's how it was aired and meant to be experienced by the the people who put it out
Endless eight was fine for me but I was a NEET when I watched it and watched it all from like 10 pm to 1 am one night
If I browsed Zig Forums in 09 and got nearly the same episode every week I wouldn't have dropped it but would've been upset for sure
It's all about both context and the viewer
There is one thing everyone forgets.
Imagine an anime that took up half the board.
Now imagine that you don't really care for it, and the constant spam (everywhere, even in fucking Zig Forums, not Zig Forums ironically though, then they were still the serious board compared to Zig Forums) makes you almost hate it.
Now imagine that anime starts trolling everyone so hard they punch their tube monitors in fits of rage.
I fucking love the endless eight.
Sounds top kek and based user. I would love to have been there, but I'm a faggot.
this was truly the era of retarded overly-spaced anime eyes. how is that shit considered kawaii? i didn't even understand it at the time
For reasons I don't want to share, I've been scouring the archives for those threads, as I wasn't there either.
These are some of the funniest posts in hindsight. This was made right after the first episode, when people who had read the books were saying how there had to be more since there wasn't any timeloop shenanigans.
oh no
>picks the toddler as an example
Ass cancer
No. If someone can't be bothered to sit through it, then they don't deserve nirvana.
HAHA! That's fucking great.
