For those who still haven't figured it out

Spoiler :
1) The eighth month = August, they keep repeating August. This could also mean it will end in August or at the end of August.

2) 8 turned sideways is ∞

3) It may or may not mean it will continue for 8 episodes.

4) It's called Endless because it doesn't end, but everything must have an end somewhere, meaning it will end eventually.

Thanks for stating the obvious.

And while that may be true, that does not make this a good idea. Stop trying to justify crap ideas with irrelevant semantics.

Who said I was justifying it? I was just explaining the meaning behind the name for the idiots who still hadn't figured it out. I knew it before the episodes even started (I've read the light novels). Well other than when the episodes might end.

It's not like there are idiots like that out there. Or at least, not here. Also:

What Endless Eight means

Spoiler :
Endless = Repeated

Eight = Eighth month, or August


Way to be redundant.

As for the new ep, I liked how there were more differences than the other episodes, makes up for some even more interesting potential amv material.

Ah, for once, this song and video concept is freakishly appropriate.

And I forgot to mention, after watching the last episode, I want to strangle Kyon.

episode 8 of the season, the 7th endless eight ep, only 1 more to go...i hope.

if you check anime news network, this season has some of the most extreme diverging ratings on any series lol, about 2/4 rate it a masterpiece, 1/4 in the middle and 1/4 the worst ever.

I'll wait for the series to come to an end before giving my rate to it. Too hard to rate it for now.

Are we there yet are we there yet?

God I am soooo glad I don't watch anime as a tv broadcast show.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

Supposedly, this week's episode is going to resolve the Endless Eight storyline according to people with advanced copies of the September Newtype magazine. We shall see in a day or so.
