New OP : Super Driver
*tap tap*
*stomp stomp*
The second new episode continues the finest Haruhi tradition, mixing a slice-of-life comedy with heavy sci-fi elements, except that’s a lie, as this episode has none of the time issues that make the “Endless” part of the title. My only guess is that it’s a two-parter.
EDIT: The current theory is that the next broadcast of Endless Eight, or the next episode, will basically be an ‘Alternate’ SideB-esque episode where the time-loop will be dealt with.
In any case, it’s Haruhi as you would expect; pretty art, Deadpan Snarking courtesy of Kyon, and the soundtrack is definitely worth a mention.
Perfect size is perfect.
The story is exactly the same – Haruhi assembles a list of “things to do in the two weeks before summer vacation is over” and they get on it: the pool, Obon, fireworks, insect catching, working part-time, stargazing, the batting centre, fishing, test of courage, a movie, the beach, bowling, karaoke, and on it goes… and I have just described the entirety of the episode.
There were several focus shots on Nagato, which is a pretty obvious nudge towards “Endless Eight II” sometime in the future. Hopefully. Like, next week.

In any case, this would make the previous airing schedule bogus, or at least misplacing an episode or two.
What I’m heading off to right now.
