Oh, I'd say the Disappearance of SH pretty much proved she snapped just a teeny-tiny bit. “If anything, the Endless Eight story arc only served to reinforce my perception of Yuki as non-human.

If anything, the Endless Eight story arc only served to reinforce my perception of Yuki as non-human. No regular person could have handled 500 years of repetition like that without going nuts.

It was a terrible read for me, and bored me out of my brains - if indeed this is the part of the literature that has to do with the making of the movie.

And after much deliberation I came to only one conclusion that could possibly describe their actions (aside from uber trolling). If we were driven insane by only 8 of the 15,532 repetitions, imagine what Yuki must feel like. We all know Yuki remembers every single repetition but the number is so large it doesn't become personal. It becomes a statistic. Now that we have a small, small, small, small, small taste of what she has been going through... I guess it was for character development? I can't find any other reason for this other than to make you sympathize with Yuki. Though I have to admit I watched every single episode of Endless 8 without any skipping around, and when I watched the final episode I was giddy as a school girl. I had a grin plastered onto my face the rest of the day. While watching the Endless 8, I first thought why they would torture us so.

I unequivocally loved CGR2 AND Endless Eight -- and as an artist, I would be thrilled at the opportunity to produce something like Endless Eight. I really find it that interesting, creative, and cool, and encapsulating so much of what I love about anime. LOL at the pictures!

The Sighs of Fangzhao? Somehow I get the feeling that story won’t move quite as many book sales.

@ Omisynth

Sad, but true I’m afraid. orz

I actually watched them all the way through, but toward the end I was half watching on one monitor while surfing the web on the other.
