The discussions that happened when the 2nd and 3rd repeat hit were great, like "surely they won't keep doing this". The exasperation from fans on loops after that, plus the fact that KyoAni actually treated and animated each episode as it's own entity, it was perfect. Two solid months of episodes and agony. It was living art, you had to be there. Anyone watching it now is a lunatic.

Larryb posted:Speaking of which, has there been anything from the light novels that still hasn't appeared in animated form yet? A lot. I think people were expecting at least Snow Mountain Syndrome to show up, but there's still a few books' worth that never made it. Endless Eight is probably the consequence of having a certain number of episodes to fill, needing to leave Disappearance until the movie that comes afterwards, and not reusing the out-of-order gimmick.

Alright, so there's enough material left over for another season or two at least. Only question is whether or not they'd ever be willing to bring it back one day.

Yeah, those odds look rather slim. Like, part of the reason that things like the Monogatari franchise have lasted so long is that they keep making Seasons/OVA's/Movies every year for the last decade (oh, and that both the novels and the DVD/BD's sell fairly well). I mean, it took over 4 years for Durarara!! to get a 2nd season and it took A Certain Magical Index over 5 years to get a 3rd season, so it's not a complete impossibility, but yeah, still a fairly long shot.

Honestly, my favorite character in the series was introduced in the part that hasn't been animated yet, but while there's kind of a big arc that gets built up and ends, nothing about it feels conclusive enough to finish a full new season, imo.

Namtab posted:The slow realisation that,yes, they are doing it for eight episodes was excellent It was so, so good. I have memory problems because of epilepsy and so I tend to doubt my own recollections of things, so when that second episode started going it was like I was loving tripping. After a minute or two I was feeling mostly sure I had seen these things happen last week, but also, it didn't really seem like I had seen this episode before, somehow? But that didn't make any sense. I remember stopping the episode to check and make sure I was playing the right one, just to be certain I wasn't playing last week's, and it was right, so I kept watching. But the longer I watched the more loving confused I got. Surely, I just watched this last week! I didn't remember every single aspect of it but it was extremely familiar! I'm pretty sure that I actually went back and looked at the previous week's episode just to be sure that I wasn't completely losing my mind. Unfortunately, learning that in this case it really was the world that had gone mad, and not me, and that for some reason they really had completely reanimated and reproduced an entire episode and were airing it again after fans had waited (years?), was, well... a distinctly surreal comfort. Seeing them draw that out into eight episodes and experiencing that along with an increasingly apoplectic fanbase was sublime. That must have been what it was like to watch the K Foundation burn that pile of £1,000,000 cash.

I watched it with my gf and was cackling like an rear end in a top hat each time she realized it was looping again. I wish I was able to watch it as it aired, but for some reason I didn't bother at the time.Wark Say posted:Yeah, those odds look rather slim.

Hey, we finally got a new season of Full Metal Panic after thirteen goddamn years, so it's certainly possible. Haruhi was definitely way more popular than FMP, and it's at least similar to the kind of stuff KyoAni likes to put out now. Are they even still the hot-poo poo animation studio they were back in the day? I haven't followed that kind of stuff for a long-rear end time, so I don't even know if we'd want them to be the ones doing anything new.

It's been a while since I watched, but there's an argument to be made that Endless Eight provides a big portion of the context that gives Disappearance its emotional punch, especially the really meta bit with Yuki at the end.

As much as I appreciated it for the community art aspect, watching everyone lose their poo poo etc, I do genuinely believe it was tremendously effective at generating empathy with Yuki and conveying, even in a small way, what it would really be like to be stuck in the hell of a time loop. It's also pretty cool just as an artifact to see eight different directors give their own take on the same story. After a couple episodes I began to actually enjoy that aspect of it, simply seeing the changes in costuming or composition or acting or dialogue and what kind of impact that did or didn't have. Probably a bit of Stockholm's but I thought it was fun.

Another contributing factor to not continuing the show was that as far as I recall, Aya Hirano had a huuuuge fall from grace and went just a bit bat poo poo crazy in part due to a tumor, and made worse by the massive amounts of negative attention she was getting from the fans at the time. Either way, Watching endless 8 at the time was honestly hilarious if you were not too invested in the whole thing. People were losing their minds over the whole thing both in Japan and in the western communities and if you could detach yourself from that outrage, it was incredibly impressive how much kyoani committed to the whole thing. They reanimated the same episode more or less from scratch like 6 times, only deviating at the end when the story was resolving itself. They really nailed themselves to that cross and people hated them for it. I guess the question to ask in retrospect, is was it worth it? I would say yes but of course lots of people feel very differently.

Hearing Aya Hirano as Haruhi again made watching Nagato Yuki-Chan completely worth it. Regarding a Season 3, most anime adaptations are made to advertise the original work. The Haruhi Light Novels I believe were the best selling Light Novels ever until they were eventually surpassed by Monogatari. So combine that with the fact that there hasn't been a new light novel to advertise since 2011, makes it seem that a season 3 is very unlikely. I will still never give up hope though. The Disappearence is my favorite anime ever, and one of my favorite movies period. To see all the great poo poo that comes after it would be amazing. fucking love Fiona Apple fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Mar 13, 2019 |

Watching it as it aired, one episode per week, without knowing what was happening, was amazing. Miserable, but amazing. If you sit down and binge watch it now and you know how it works, you deserve the suffering you get.
