On another note I just watched the last episode of Endless Eight well that's a relief. The episode itself was pretty boring but the ending wasn't bad. I guess because it was actually new material. I wonder if someone will create I survived Endless Eight shirts. Not that I should buy one because I skipped episode 7 & 8 of this season and don't plan to watch them.
