Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Doesn't change the fact that it bored not only me, but the vast majority of viewers to tears and was a massive let-down to what had been shaping up to be a second season that was just as good as the first. Not to mention the time wasted by something that could have been done in two episodes meant that a whole arc wasn't animated, and if I recall it was going to be a pretty good one if it did.

Just look up one of those 8-in-1 side-by-side compilations. That doesn't change the fact that it's not as interesting or as effective as they wanted it to be.

Also, that's not what the errors were. Kyon explains in Disappearance explicitly that the "errors" were emotions, which Nagato had clearly been developing throughout the course of the entire show. All of her interactions with Kyon were leading up to it, not just Endless Eight, which, if it were the case, would, quite frankly, devalue what happened in Disappearance.

The reason they did endless eight is because time was in a loop due to Haruhi never wanting summer to end. BUT, while most of the Brigade was unaware of the loop, Nagato Yuki remembered every single iteration, because she experienced them all sequentially.
People complain about having to sit and watch a 24 minute show, eight times in a row. Grow a backbone! Nagato experienced everything 15,532 times. That's where the error data came from. That's why she became aberrant. When I first watched the movie, it made no sense to me how Nagato could do something like that. But after watching Endless Eight all in one sitting (actually twice; we watched the entire second season twice in one weekend) I totally understood. It made the whole thing real, instead of just accepting it as a detached fact.
For people who will inevitably reply "yeah, well that may be but I still think it was dumb", have any of you listened to a song on your ipod more than 8 times? Funny, that didn't kill you and you didn't boycott the musician, did you?
Sorry if this comes across as harsh, but too many people are just bandwagon fans who don't bother to understand the real meaning behind an amazing work. Whatever, they'll always have their 500th season of Naruto to cheer on.
