Why are half the things I watch turning into complete crap? First Torchwood had the most crappy, unsatisfying ending possible, so I decided to download the latest episode of Haruhi and even THAT was rubbish! I mean seriously, they're extending this plot arc for another episode next week? Really?
I'd like to rant in detail, but I shall avoid spoilers by just saying: second season of Haruhi? Don't bother, seriously. Okay, maybe the first episode, but the Endless Eight arc is going to have to run for at least five episodes now, and there was barely enough plot in it for three. It's not even an original idea, which is pretty sad for Haruhi. This has been done in a few sci-fi series I've watched, and Stargate did it so much better :/
I'm not sure I'll even bother with keeping up downloading the episodes for now. I think next week I'll just check the end on youtube to see if they've FINALLY WRAPPED IT UP and not bother with the rest of the episode.
I mean, I've read this bit in the novel. It wasn't even dragged out this much there. And because I've read it, I know how they have to end the plot arc and it's REALLY ANTI-CLIMATIC with this much build-up. People who've watched the entire five episodes (at least) to lead up to it are going to be pissed off.
I wouldn't be this irritated, but Haruhi is one of my favourite anime series, and the only one I'm keeping up with at the moment - and if I'm waiting a week between episodes, I want it to be worth the wait. And they kept the fans waiting for three years after the first series for another one, what the hell were Kyoto Animation doing all that time if this is what they've produced?
