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.
