Amazing. The sixth iteration of Endless 8 still did not end the loop.

UPDATE: You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of Wish you were here by Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd was a successful rock group in the 1960's and 1970's who built up a loyal fan following and were comfortable with the fans they had.

Then, for whatever reason, they released Dark Side of the Moon, which was a spectacular commercial success, selling something like 35 million copies. It attracted lots and lots of new fans to the group, and what I've heard is that the group members didn't like it. In fact, they hated it.

Wish you were here Dark Side of the Moon was intended for the old-school hard core fans, and it was intended to drive away the newbies. Or so I've heard. (And maybe also to reduce studio pressure. You can hear the bitterness in the lyrics of "Have a Cigar.")

I'm beginning to wonder if Endless 8 is deliberately intended to fuck over and to alienate all the fanbois that were created by the original series. Maybe KyoAni doesn't like the kind of attention it's been getting.

For instance, maybe they hated all the "Where's more Haruhi?" nagging from the fanbois while they were working on Lucky Star and Clannad.

So the answer is "HERE is your Haruhi. Stick it where the sun don't shine, and leave us the hell alone!"

UPDATE: Rats, I got the wrong name at one point. Fixed.
