Endless Eight with the airing of the ninth episode shown the ending when Kyon finally decides to have the group finish his homework at the cafe scene towards the end finally breaks the endless loop. Endless Eight is probably the worst, not because of the animation, but because of the repetition. This caused a mass outrage of Haruhi fans and also cause the rating of the show to nosedive to 7.28 just within a few weeks… but now that is over.
Endless Eight, because of the r repetition and how Kadokawa done it in the anime was horribly done. Although Kyoto Animation got the animation right towards the end, the lack of new content caused the arc to become very unwatchable and irritating. I would have done a 30-page long chapter with 2 episodes, 3-4 at the most, but they gone and decide to do 8 which is WAY TO MUCH and meanwhile irritating the whole fandom and causing some of them to give up on Haruhi all together. If they have done it within 2-3 episodes, the arc itself would not be as bad as it would.
Within the last 5 Episodes, the members at AnimeSuki have negatively voted majority of Endless Eight Episodes. Also, back where the episodes were aired, the reaction to the repetition of Endless Eight started to become negative. Atleast Kadokawa and Kyoto Animation have the sanity not to keep going on with the Endless Eight madness past Episode 9.
This doesn’t mean Kadokawa is off the hook, since I’m still angry about what they did with Endless Eight and remember the trolls they done with the first Episode of Haruhi-chan and Second Season being canceled. Although Endless Eight reduced my expectations drastically, I don’t except the rating of Haruhi S2 for what I see so far be any higher than a 7. Endless Eight… Worst… Anime… Arc… Adaptation… Ever… Just read the light novel for this one.
Hopefully when they Air Sighs in the next few episodes, hopefully it won’t turn out bad as the Endless Eight Fiasco.
Verdict
Endless Eight Arc: 4.275/10 (Average of all the ratings of the Episodes in the Endless Eight arc including Episode 9. Don’t complain about this score)
Episode 9: 7/10

Endless Eight Arc: 4.275/10…??
Give it an 8… :P…NOT!
The show was great until they repeated everything up to 3rd and beyond…It was better 4 at the most, but 8…it was preposterous!
I must admit it was a funride to blog it but now that it is over, better things should come.
I wonder now that it is over and my cousin want to watch it…should I show him the 8 episodes or any particular episodes to shorten the suffering…?… 😛
Going to watch…at least hoping that the ending is good.
Now that Endless Arc fiasco is over, I can start looking forward to rest of the episodes, but it was fun complaining about it every time it repeated and raging over it.
Although this episode had a okay ending (7/10 rating), it still didn’t do much for the overall rating of the 8 episodes since the last 5 episodes have bad ratings that brought down the score. I think the score for the overall arc is fair (don’t complain about it, I won’t make it any higher and it’s the average of all the episode ratings in the arc) due to the fact there is absolutely no new content and constant trolling except the second, third, and ninth episode of the whole season.
The ending should be good, but it’s so predictable since Kyon never does his homework.
Next week. Endless Eight ep. 1.
