Just watched the fansub, that was funny, and began to tie together some strings, but just a little.

[Lan]

i know there are currently 9 novels availible, but roughly how many episodes should there be from this content?

The new episode "Endless Eight" has aired, with the new beginning intro-

Next week's will be the conclusion to Endless Eight. I don't see why they showed this weeks(it wasn't in the novel, I get why they showed it, but they could've used it to make Bamboo Leaf a 2 parter so that a lot of the skipped details could've been shown) but what can ye do?

[Lan]

to be honest this weeks was a total waste of time. completely boring and bland. so what, they ran around doing little things here and there over summer? big deal...

the bamboo leaf episode a few weeks back was great. can you tell me what they missed out from the novel?

[Dechan]

I probably worded it wrong, but basically, they never skipped anything, but a lot of Kyon's thoughts(I can't remember what they were) and Kyon and Koizumi's conversations(again, I can't remember, long time ago) were cut short. In fact, a LOT of stuff was cut short or rushed because they were trying to fit too much into 30 minutes. I mean it probably didn't warrant 2 episodes, but it certainly should've filled more than one. They could've just had the part with Kyon and Asahina in after it. I won't go into it just in case they show it at another point.

But yeah, Endless Eight was meant to be like it was last week, but with a different ending. It does make sense to have this weeks as it was, but I didn't see why they did it, as overall it was a pretty poor episode. I assume next week will be the proper Endless Eight.

I watched that episode on-line, not bad, but as you say could have been better.

[Dechan]

Man, I can't believe they've made it a three parter. This means that other episodes are probably gonna shortened as well.

[Lan]

Well, at least this weeks episode puts last weeks in context. But really, I do think some of this story should have been in last weeks episode. A nice 2 parter, not 3 parts.

[Dechan]

Well neither this week's or last week's part were in the novel. The novel basically only showed the "last rotation" if you will.

I agree. I'm sorry to say the second new episode did nothing for me. Felt too much like an unnecessary filler episode.
Still, I'm optimistic that better episodes are on the way.

[Dechan]

Someone said that the main story from this series is Disappearance. If that is true, then we're in for a good one.

[exckilla]

Is there any idea on how many episodes there are going to be

[Dechan]

I think they said 28 episodes, so I assume that it's gonna be 14 like last series since they're obviously including the first series in the showing.
