There is something else I want to do, Haruhi...

Uuuuuuugh...

So like, the Suzumiya Haruhi series is being taken off Crunchyroll in... 17 hours, so I felt the need to watch the second season since I have yet to do it. But how's it been going?

Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody: Interesting enough.
Endless Eight, Part 1: Oh man. Here we go.
Endless Eight, Part 2: They said where the conflict is, but that's all for today.
Endless Eight, Part 3: This again? Crap.
Endless Eight, Part 4: Complained on the Project Im@s forums.
Endless Eight, Part 5: Probably nodding off too much to catch any differences.
Endless Eight, Part 6: Complaining on my blog. Also going to sleep.

I've decided that every two episodes of Endless Hate Eight, I'll either ragequit for the day or grumble somewhere. Incidentally, I'm doing both right now.

Seriously, there was so much more in the light novels, why'd they feel the need to do eight freaking episodes where hardly anything changes? Strange as it may sound, they could have sped through some of these loops and fit a bunch of them in the same episode. Or heck... here's a better idea: adapt other arcs in the light novel and not this one.

Aaagh, I feel like banging my head against something hard right now. Haruhi even starts off saying that they have to do things that people normally do during summer vacation, and that they can't reclaim the time they've lost.

... Haruhi, I agree with you for all the wrong reasons. It's strangely fitting that it's 31 August right now.

UPDATE (10 hours later): Finished Endless Eight. How did I feel?

Endless Eight, Part 7: Maybe I should have turned this into a drinking game.
Endless Eight, Part 8: Dang it, I FIGURED THIS OUT AT PART TWO!

Yep, the very first day I watched this, I pretty much knew what was going to stop all this madness from continuing. That was what, two and a half hours of watching time ago? A full six episodes ago? And I still had to watch all this crap?

If the point was to make us kinda feel like Yuki felt (incredibly tired and bored), then I would say that they fail at knowing what they should make anime to do.

It's the same thing you make manga to do. The same thing you make video games to do. Or sports, or card games, or just about any leisure activity you can imagine.

It's called fun.

Massive fail.
