Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 17: Endless Eight 6
I feel like we’ve regressed here. KyoAni seems to have shattered the hope that each episode would be progressively moving towards the resolution of the arc. The only small change I noticed was that Haruhi herself seems to be showing the smallest of hints that she’s getting deja vu as well. And I guess we’re in for at least two more episodes of this. Sorry, but I would like to limit my “repeating time frames” series to just one per season.
Again, I really feel like that the resolution of this arc is really not worth the effort in animating all these episodes. It’s going to feel very anti-climatic, and only fuel the interweb fires even more. Unless KyoAni changes the ending as well, which I wouldn’t put past them at this point. But I feel that they’re just gonna end this arc normally and everyone is going to be left wondering what the heck the past 6-8 weeks was all about.
On a side note, is anyone else having difficulty in seeing how Kyon has his deja vu at the moments he does?
