I KNEW IT!!! I JUST KNEW THEY WOULD PULL SOMETHING AS ABSOLUTELY RETARDED AS ENDING ENDLESS EIGHT ON EP8.

You can see a raw of the last half of the ep here. And they kept the original lameass, anti-climactic ending of the novels, too! Having the music swell in the background and having Kyon and Haruhi SCREAM AT EACH OTHER LIKE THIS ISN'T GOING TO MAKE THE CONCLUSION ANY MORE EPIC, KYOANI.

EDIT: I think all Haruhi episodes should end with a reflective conversation between Itsuki and Kyon from here on out. :D

EDIT 2: Damn, I was totally supposed to reserve today's post for Zoku Natsume gushing! Haruhi, you've ruined me again!
