I've never watched Haruhi, but I know a bunch of buddies of mine who have and they said it's a really good show (then again, they're massive weeaboos), but a lot of them complained about this Endless 8 thing.
Honestly, while it's pretty bad in a technical way, it's still definitely new and different from the typical things you're getting in cartoons and anime nowadays for sure. Most cartoons now are nothing like they used to be and just try to hard to be funny. Anime is starting to grow into a bunch of shows with School Girls, then again, that sparks from the Manga, but still. I miss my classic Anime/Manga like Dragon Ball and Inuyasha. That's why this is such a nice twist, even if it's basically the same thing over and over.
I don't have a problem with these Animes, but I just want to see something neat again. That's why I'm so glad they're continuing the Inuyasha Anime <3
