The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Forum

With the current arc of "Endless Eight" we all feel like Nagato. From what I read and a gut feeling I have I fear "Endless Eight" will be in fact eight episodes. That is really a pain but what could have made this better? One of the simplest solutons would have been not to have so many dam episodes. But I think if KyoAni were going to have that many eiposeds they could have taken this opprotnity to experimant with them. The problem is that the episodes are to similar to one another. If KyoAni changed the art style (radically in some cases) with each telling of "Endless Eight" if could have been something interesting.

What do you think could have made it better, other than having less episodes?

I don't... it should have been
1) The slice of life episode
2) The episode where they realise, Kyon fails the first time
3) Kyon solves it
 
Done!
But since you say other than being shorter... I.. don't know. Focusing on different personalities.. showing new things they did.
  *shrugs* They just shouldn't have done this.

Showing each day from a different perspective, maybe?

I agree, these episodes were a bloody outrage, eight episodes of the exact same thing pretty much, they even tried to sell the episodes as seperate dvds lol
