The "Endless Eight" episodes
| I believe you got it right. While many of the shots were reused. A surprising amount had slight alterations if not new scenes in them. Also to impart dDeja Vu to the viewer, One of the best ways to convey a semi long period of time passing is to force the reader or viewer to be along for the ride, though at an accelerated pace. Which is exactly what they did. (DEJA VU in 8 episodes rather than 65 million or whatever)
| I think 4 episodes would have been enough to make the point

I too thought that at first, but after thinking about it, and thinking back on how they made me feel, I realise that 8 episodes probably was the best way to do it. After a while, everything kind of started to blend together in my mind, while I was still remembering little quirks and details only present in one of the episodes, but couldn't really remember what happened when, just the fact that it happened.

Yeah. I agree. I also loved that they always had different clothes, camera angles, sitting positions etc. It made it so every episode was the same, but different.
| Endless Eight in the anime was fucking cancer. The original light novel had it as a short story that was like a 100ish pages.
| 8. Because 8 side ways looks like the infinity symbol. They made 8 episodes just so they could slowly tilt that 8 until it was side ways and all the words shaped an infinity symbol .
As much as I enjoyed it , I wouldn't watch all 8 again and it shouldn't be attempted again, honestly . I liked it but I came out of it with a better understanding of Nagato.
| Same day over and over and you start finding little ways to change it up or something . You start looking for the little differences . The subtle things . There are times where you consider forwarding a little... But you know you shouldn't .
You finish it realize you just spent 4 hours watching anime . And then you realize every week of your life is just an "Endless 7" because you just get up , go to work , come home and game/watch anime. You say and do the same thing .
| Then you start to wonder if those 8 episodes really are Meta... But then you realize you're just over reacting and might be crazy . So you just watch the next episode and shut up

| The first time I watched the endless I had no idea what was happening, I was loving the show and then it started, I expected things to end in the second episode because I noticed the subtle differences but then nothing, so I figure the next one would end it, but nothing, then the next and the next and so on, I was going insane I just wanted it to be over.
In the end, it was an experience.
Not the most pleasant one, but I can definitely respect it and look back at it and laugh.
| idk why people enjoy watching hitler~

I just finished watching the series, and those "Endless Eight" episodes were weird. I get the point of them, and it worked, and I don't know why, but they didn't bore me at all. I actually quite liked them.
I do find it kind of weird though, that they actually made 8 episodes of it. Was it just to get some filler in, or to better convey the fuckiness of the whole situation? I'm curious of what you gurls think about it.
