  • Saw this last night. Pretty awesome movie!

  • i just saw this yesterday i loved it

  • This is the first time I've watched one of your reviews and It's been very funny and well argued. The video editing was good too, but I think you should appear on screen and not hide behind static screenshots. I give you a 9 out of 10.

  • Finishing Endless 8 was finishing taking a shit after being constipated. It's so rough and scary at times, And sometimes you even want to cry. But once it's over, this Weight is just lifted off of your shoulders...And you lower intestine...Yeah...

  • I enjoyed EE, though not in its default state. I did a few things: firstly, I multi-tasked through episodes 3-7 (and most of eight) and only really heard the audio (English), not watching the video. So why does this improve it? Well, because I can be doing something else with my time, but I still get to hear Crispin Freeman go off the rails with his ad-libs.

  • @gigguk, I feel a need to offer a correction for around 6:10 where you say "half the Haruhi fanbase simultaneously..." I'd have to say slightly less than a quarter because blushing Yuki has to compete with Asahina-san, grown-up Asahina-san, Haruhi, little Haruhi who'll call you "Hentai" the first time she sees you, Asakura (who even Kyon admits is more interesting than Yuki), Tsuruya-san, and all the girls from Lucky Star shamelessly singing about their uniform's midriff gap.

  • I just finished watching this, and I have to agree with you on pretty much all of your points, man. I liked the original seasons more than you did, so I knew I'd like it, but wow. I mean, it was GREAT. I definitely won't forget it any time soon.

    And gigguk, you keep doing what you do.

  • if you were to judge MLP FiM show by its fanbase (aka bronies (and pegasisters some call as "sis"bronies)) what would you have to say?

  • Comment removed

  • @christian7750 serie otherwise you will not understand at all

  • Gawd damnit, I have a coldsore and now I can't stop smiling because of this; DAMN YOU GIGGUK!

  • I clicked like as soon as i saw the how to be gangsta in japan =D

  • 10/10 yay

  • First time watching your stuff, and I gotta compliment you big time. Very fun review, I enjoyed it alot.

  • "OBEY"

    haha!! I love that xD

  • Recently found your Account and now I'm waiting for the top 3 cool characters^^. Good job on your reviews.

    I just wanted to ask, if you know Gintama and it would be really great if you review it, but it would take some time, if you didn't watched it yet.

  • whoa, i didnt know johnny yong bosch was koizumi haha awesome review

  • You should be a voice actor for kyon....lol

  • THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. Except for the part where you weren't a fan of season one. This more than made up for Endless Eight

  • That haruhi is terrifying :l

  • epic indeed and mainly because the inception sounds

  • Loved this movie! I kind of liked the show, but it wasn't great, but this movie is amazing!

  • It was truly an EPIC Anime Movie! :D <3

  • @gigguk You are entering a place where common sense has no meaning. A place where fanservice and giant fighting robots are the norm. A place that not only of body,but of mind. You are entering the Anime Zone. (insert Twilight Zone theme here)

  • 0:29 i usually hear the sub version for melancholy of haruhi suzumiya but is it me or that voice kind of reminds me of lelouch

  • i love that sound

  • an Air Gear review would be great

  • 3:49 ...and this is Nagato with a cock across her face because I got bored...

  • watch it in the correct order, my brain had to repair itself after watching it in the broadcast order.

  • try baka and test it a good show nad for once it not moe

  • I really want to see you review ouran highschool host club just for the rant it will produce :D

  • You're like the Zero Punctuation of anime. It's awesome.

  • This anime is great, BUT!!!! The episodes outline within the story is really, really fucked up cause on every site I go on, for example ep 5 on Anime freak TV would be diffrent ep than anime revolution one. I am like wtf!!! So thats I why i stopped watching the anime cause I couldn't follow the storyline. So from where are you wathcing anime like whats the main website is called that you watch animes?

  • I'm with you gigguk but the only problem I have is that the movie is too fucking long so i'm giving the movie a 9 out of 10

  • yo i watched the whole thing you got another sub. never laughed so much in a review ever.

  • LIKED JUST FOR THE INCEPTION INTRO! LOLOLOL

  • mate, this is a sickass review, peace!

  • PEOPLE if SOPA goes through Gigguk will die DO SOMETHING!!!

  • WOW homie! 10 outta 10. Guess I gotta go watch the second season and the movie now...

  • It shocks me that you actually like this movie. I will undoubtedly never watch this movie, ever. I just don't see how such a boring anime could make a brilliant movie.

  • Holy balls, this video just made me realize how frickin' scary anime faces really are; I'm referring to all those close ups of Haruhi's face with the sudden orchestra hits! Especially that black and white one, WHAT THE SPANK!?

  • "Nagato: Character of a rock."

    HAHAHAH!!!!

    But I loved her :o).

    Excellent review as always, Gigguk.

    - Lathan

  • woahh princess tutu track

  • In Response to GamerThreeThousand's comment:

    NO GIGGUK, DON'T DO IT!

    DON'T!

    CAPTAIN AKBARS NOW HAS ASMER FROM THAT SHOW, DON'T DO IT MAN!

    DON'T DOOD!

  • i fully agree with this review movie was amazing although did you really have to watch season 2 for it i felt season 1 was enough

  • WOW huh .... really ....

  • I don't know what shocks me more, you liking the haruhi series more of the fact that you gave the film 10/10? because when I was listening and watching the review my jaw dorp and my eyes went like this O.O but I can understand why you'd like it.

  • To be honest, I think you guys should finish up ALL the Endless Eight episodes as well.. ( - -) Then you'll completely understand how Nagato feels and thus doing all this (Disappearance)

    Oh well, at least I think you should watch the first 2 and last 2 episodes of the Endless Eight series..

    I've watched all the novels including astonishment so ya, here's my suggestion :3

  • @jwan1996 Of course it's best finish ALL the anime episodes (1st AND 2nd season) before watching the movie so you'll understand a lot more about the characters and the plot

  • As much as I hated sitting through all 8 episodes, I can't help but agree with you.

  • Great Scott! This movie was dreadfully boring.

    Seen mine share of time travel movies but this one had really bad pacing.

    If you're unsure about the movie, watch it on Youtube before buying it.

    I'll stick with the "Girl Who Leapt Through Time" as my fav. anime movie.

    Love your ranting and reviews thro. Keep it going.

  • its ironic that what gigguk says is the best of the haruhi series is something that barely has haruhi in it (well except for part of the movie)

  • omg that movie was so cool man thx u i thought it would be crap ...... now cool

  • i saw film though youtube by ramdom i didnt even know what the fuck was going on

  • @staplekey I live in Canada and it's still fucking ridiculous

  • shit man i knew you would like this but i never thought you'd give this a 10/10 yes i would to but I'm not a complete haruhi fan boy i just wanna see all the plot twists and the explanation of what the fuck haruhi is and the time travel plot holes hopefully the next season will be epic also I have not watched baccono so this is the first 10/10 i can agree on since I just can't get in the mood to watch baccono sorry

  • i got it on blu-ray like 2 days and re-watched it. perfect timing for anime review

  • YOU should review Summer Wars... Unless you know nothing about a lil' ol movie named War Games...

  • OMFG!!! I thought you'de never become a haruhi fan. Guess we lost annother one to God...

  • i skipped the endless 8 because it was boring

  • Anyway try watching Valkyria Chornicles i just want to see what you think of it>>>

  • dude what happen to you???

  • Is it absolutely required to watch the first two seasons of Haruhi Suzumiya to watch this movie? I have no desire to watch the show, but want to see this movie however, I"m afraid that I would be missing too much required info from the show to know what is going on, or even to appreciate the movie.

  • Wait, so did you guys watch all the episodes of the infamous Endless 8? I haven't seen Haruhi, but I did some research on it, and I would imagine people rage quitting the show during that part.

  • Hey Gigguk have you seen Eden of the East? I recently gave it a chance after years of not watching any anime due to all the moe crap [I too enjoy seinen] and was pleasantly surprised. If you haven't give it a chance. Drawings make it seem like it's meant for women, but it's actually a sort of scifi death note.

  • Is there a way I can watch the movie without having to watch the whole series? Or is best to watch all 8 episode from season 1 and season 2?

  • @Animeclass101 The minimum viewing you have to do is episodes 1-6 in the season 1 and episode 1 in season 2 which are important to the plot. Though there are alot of reference throughout the movie of stuff that happened in the two seasons, so like I said to fully "get" the movie you need to be familiar with the whole series. Though you can skip the endless 8 in season 2

  • @Animeclass101 Watch the episode with asakura from the first season and bamboo leaf rhapsody(make sure to pay attention in this episode) from the second season then ur good to from the moive

  • Aaawwwwwwwwwww yeah!!!!! The Inception of Haruhi Suzumiya! XD

  • OHHHHH YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!! :D You liked this film too! So pleased right now!

  • I did not watch the movie because I thought the series was just stupid and weird .. but now after seeing this review I'm deferentially going to watch it

  • epic review :D 

  • oh shit the dreams collapsing lol. love your reviews. keep up the good work.

  • is it necessary to've watched the serie to understand the film?

  • ahaha, You make me laugh :D but i couldn't get past the first few episodes of the tv series. So i think i'll have to give the movie a skip :P

  • Do I need to watch the first two seasons of haruhi to fully appreciate it? or can I just read what happens in them?

  • @rossignol746 Just watch it but when you get to the endless 8 episodes, dont be a dick and watch them... hint the story stops looping 8 episodes later.... The Show is very entertaining though and you wont have a fucking clue whats going on if you dont watch it so

    tl;dr Yes you must watch the show minus the 8 looping episodes so like 1 season really

  • Okay and I'm of to watch it :)

  • where can I watch this movie?? The art looks good.

  • Ok ive only seen the first season of this anime and i was bored as fuck so i didnt bother watching the second season, but if its a 10-10 is it worth watching the second season befor watching the movie or should i just skip the second season?

  • You should make an abridged series XDD

  • im not a big fan of MHS, but i LOVED the movie <3

  • Comment removed

  • I have to say I agree with him. I didn't really like it till i saw the movie.

  • I wish Gigguk could narrate my life. I don't think I'd ever frown again.

  •  can you review Ben-to.

  • am i the only person who wants to see an anime with gigguk as a man character? that would be funny to hear how he deals with people lol

  • Hey Gigguk, what's your opinion on style vs substance when it comes to Anime, is it even possible to merge the two bc for the most part we see one sacrificed for the other too often.

  • I really like this review!! And I love the the prequel to this!! I am going to watch it now!!! Thanks gigguk! ^.^

  • When I saw this review was made, I went out and watched the movie immediately so I could watch this and have it make sense. :D

  • To me, nothing will ever be able to make up for the idiocy that was Endless 8. I considered myself a big fan of the first series, but when it's "sequel" came out I was just plain pissed. Not that they didn't give a valiant effort with this movie. It was well done and I REALLY liked it, but it makes me angry that they were able to pull this off but they STILL gave us the same 8 episodes over and over (repeat 6x more) again. Idk. I guess it'll just be known as "the season that didn't happen"

  • Am I the only one who doesnt hate the Endless Eight? I find that so genious, I mean, I laughed my pants out when I noticed the third episode was still the same. Im not a big fan of the series, tho' I usually say I am just to annoy people by saying Haruhi is the best anime ever and if they disagree she will curse them all. Also, isnt it just fuuun to pretend to believe in a teenager god?

  • Awesome review man!  I've never seen the series because of the genre but the way you made the movie sound well....EPIC. haha anyway I was hoping for your next review, you could do Great Teacher Onizuka (or GTO) I don't really know if you do request or not but I'm a die hard fan and I would really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the series. Anyway keep your epic videos up!

  • your starting to use alot more audio-visual footage in your videos! i like!

    and i also enjoyed TDOHS for the same reasons as you, but it it was a bit "too long" for me which did knock off points in my book. Anyways great job!

  • Inception. Brilliant comparison.

  • coming out 2012 BLACK OTAKU REVIEWS COMING SOON WHERE YOUTUBE CAN BE VIEWED ;D

  • next subject... one outs or baka to test or ouran high school host club that would be pretty funny

  • 10 out of 10 for a haruhi film?!?!?! RELEASE THE TROOLLLLLLLLLS

  • Can you get this film if you only seen the first season?

  • @TheOtakuKat Totally.

  • @TheOtakuKat You need to have watched the first episode of the second season, Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. That is essential to understanding the major plot point of the story.

  • God I love this movie so much. But I'm a tremendous Haruhi fanboy who even loved Endless Eight. Still, I'm glad to see it's so widely appreciated for the masterpiece that it is.

  • Great job i loved the vid! Your commentary is both funny and informative so it's best of both worlds again great and hats off to you.

  • 10/10 perfect! and it's known as the best longest anime film!

  • I watched the movie before season 1, only knowing the setting and basic story....

    I did like It a lot especially he ending!

  • When would this come to Netflix? I can't afford to buy anime

  • Holy crap, you gave it a 10 out of 10. I hardly ever do that. O_O

    It deserves it. I loved the movie more than I did the show. :D

    Now review CLANNAD.

  • @GamerThreeThousand He can't review Clannad, cuz not even him could say something bad about it, that and a horde of otaku would most probably drag him to Hell to be tortured seeing the "Lucky Star" op over and over again for an eternaty :)

  • @GamerThreeThousand PLEASE DONT REVIEW IT

  • exactly how i felt when i first watched it

    

  • Does this have spoilers?

  • Since when have you bleeped out the cuss words? o.O

    Anyway, nice review.

  • should i rewatch the 1st season and watch the movie next

    cus i havent seen the 1st season in about a year

  • i always liked haruhi, but not in the way i like a good show like darker than black, more like the way i like dbz because it got me into anime back when i was young and had no taste in anime, and honestly yeah i really like this movie, genuinely like, not just like because its a movie of a show that i liked 4 years ago.

  • Dude 100% agree with you, this is one of my favorite anime movies, hell, movie, of all time. 10/10

  • WOW! I knew gigguk liked it, but WOW! First 10 since Baccano!

  • Why did you change your channel?

  • @Eva413 HE already watched both 1.0 and 2.0 and likes them alot.

  • its like those 2 seasons were just build up for the movie

  • I sat throught all of the endless eight in a row. I think I died a little inside.

    However, I wholeheartedly agree. This movie was nothing short of epic

  • I want to see this movie so bad.

  • Lol I almost choke eating my food wil watching this review. never doing that again

    LOL

  • Great review!! I subscribe now.

  • Not that I'm a fan-boy or anything *cough* *username*... But, you should review the recent Evangelion Rebuild films, I need to hear more about Tit Wank and THE CUNT, and their spectacular adventures into pretentious solipsistic wanks. Yes, I am a git. So fuck all and do it. Thanks.

  • did you give up on the list then?

  • @WhiterunUK List has been delayed till christmas holiday, which is coming soon :D

  • @gigguk great review man, this defenitly deserves a 10 out of 10. the best anime film in my opinion is 5 centimeters per second. its a masterpiece.

  • @gigguk omg you replied to me :D i feel like i'm talking to a celebrity(in a non fangirly way of course lol) - looking forward to the rest of the list man (:

  • @gigguk i think i know what haruhi is THE WRITER OF THIS SHOW (joke) good review

  • Good review

  • I fucking hated those repeated eight episodes.

  • Ok gigg, I'm going to watch the "Haruhi" film. If it's not good, Satan will rain down your throat with hot acid.

  • Y U NO put up video up I put up video which I was going to do today/tomorrow?! D:

    That's k, I'll pots it as a video response. AND GAIN ALL THE VIEWS! :D

  • @FightingforNippon Haha be my guest, though I swear you've already reviewed this movie b4 (at least I think it was your review I watched while I was making this...)

    btw was thinking about joining your 12 days of anime thingy, but not sure if I have the time to make 12 videos within the next week :-/. Love the Idea though.

  • @gigguk Yeah I made one in January on the film, now I have the Blu-Ray from Madman and need to do a proper one.

    Just do what everyone else is doing, making them all at once when you have time, I know I am and just uploading them on the days. I hope you do join, I'd love to watch yours!

  • @gigguk i could help though ill need to update my software

  • damn 10 out of 10 i knew it came out but i was soo over it after season 2... now i have to give it a shot....

  • I liked the inclusion of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei at 1:57 and the Kyon monologues just had me doubled in laughter. The most surprising thing is I never once dreamed that you would give anything other than Baccano a 10/10 rating. Great work as always and yes, the movie is fucking rad. I went through the exact same crisis with Haruhi first enjoying the first series, despising the second and then recouping my love for the franchise with the movie. My only questions is where could KyoAni take this?

  • @historymanZP There are a few things I would give a 10/10, I just don't want to review them all at once, plus its harder to be funny when there are very little flaws to talk about (I'm sure you know that by now)

    As for where kyo ani could take this, well after they finish the K-ON movie....season 3? Though I haven't read any of the light novels so I don't know where the story goes after this

  • @gigguk Oh, I know what you mean. I have to deliberately pick shows I know I will hate to keep it interesting. That's pretty much what I'm thinking, and there is certainly a lot of material in the novels to cover, but I have this sinking feeling that KyoAni knows this is the last hurrah and decided to end it gloriously. Considering how KyoAni is still hung up on the moe genre (K-On, Nichijou, etc) despite it being its last throes, it might be quite a while before we see Season 3.

  • @historymanZP i just want full metal panic sigma then i'll shut up about kyoto

  • @gigguk I read the Light Novels btw and IMHO the light novel was waaay better than the anime not sure about the movie though all I know is that my intrest with this series only sparked after I read the light novels not sure about your intrest though :P

  • Dunnnnnnn!

  • 1 person is getting stared down at by Haruhi

    DUNNNN!!

    ...I do love that sound

  • OH MY GOD!!!! Do more Kyon monologues! That was brilliant!

  • Can you review Kodacha?

  • Comment removed

  • wow i feel like a noob, never knew there was a Haruhi movie. I must go out and buy!

  • OMG BEST REVIEW CUZ I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!! this ranks up there with ghost in the shell being my favorite anime movie and sci fi movie of all time (besides tron lol)

  • I've watched Season 1 and 2 but I never saw this movie, now I just gotta go see it. Btw, the english dubbed version is actully here on YouTube and it's not cut up in parts!!!!

  • Now that you're back (Welcome back, yay!), I know that everybody is chiming in on what they think you should do next and you probably give exactly zero fucks.

    Nevertheless, I'd like to say that, if you have time, please check out the Aria franchise (50 episodes for 3 seasons). I did not think I would enjoy it at all before watching it and I ended up loving it. It blew away my expectations.

  • Ok season 1 I saw but after hearing about all the crap that was season 2 do I really REALLY have to sit through it to understand the movie?

  • @LostMercenary99 yes you do. season two was not the greatest but if you skip 6 of the episodes you should not get bored with it. and this movie rocks.

  • so wha-? your gonna review GITS solid state society? :D

    thanks

  • DAMN, now i need to watch the show and the movie -____-

    oh and Inception ftw

  • damn you made me want to watch it. Thats what I will probably do now.

  • He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

    Your're one of us now. DUNNN!!!

    God I love that sound.

  • Aint gonna lie, it was pretty fuckin good. I thought the anime was good, to a standard, but the movie was AMAZING. Really kept me hooked

  • Nice review, you should be a voice actor

    Please review Golden Boy

  • Totally agree with this review Loved that movie so much haha, you should try watching madoka soon it gives you the same kind of feeling.

  • Review angel beats! i have yet to actually see it

  • did anyone else just read a review for the same thing on ANN?

  • Great review, also been a while since I've seen that. LOLed at your dubbing, I would watch the whole season like that if I could. Saw you had Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei in there for a moment, one of my favorites, which you should totally review :D

  • Hey Gigguk, have you ever seen Sword of the Stranger?

    Its quite a good movie. Reminds me of Samurai Champloo(minus Mugen) with the animation style of FMA.

    Badass fights, badass characters, badass......gore....

    plz respond

  • @gnarlycharly1 that is one of my favourite anime movies, i took a risk a couple years ago and it was totally badass

  • @gonzo191 Yeah, Im watching it for the first time just today.

    Found out about it about 2 hours ago, decided to watch it.

    Great movie.
