New Episode 'Spoilers'

I'm disappointed. After KyoAni trolled everyone for three years, they return with this. WTH?

I was also little disappointed with the episode. The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody was amazing, but this was an ok episode at best. The lack of plot advancement is one thing but I felt there was too much focus on fanservice and the whole episode felt cheaply done - the lack of movement in the pool scenes with a lot of people and the static images during the bug hunting. I would simply expect better from such show.

However from what I've heard this was only first half of the Endles Eight story and the next part should "blow you away". I have a basic idea what is going to happen because I've read bits of spoilers over the past years and it surely sounds interesting. Don't lose your hopes yet.

I actually really liked it! I dont' know. Sometimes I like the filler, or more quieter slice of life episodes. And this one, I think was exceptionally good. It had a good paste, not too slow or dragging on things. It was very etertaining, light hearted, funny, and a drastic change of mood from the last episode. I dont' know, I think thats what makes this series so special; how they're able to blend everything from drama, fantasy, sci-fi, slice of life themes so well together w/o having it be forced or awkward. Were there not these quiet episodes in the first season? Like episode 14?

I dont' know, if there was a drop in quality in story telling or whatnot, I didn't notice it.
:D I'mloving the second season so far.
