Yutaka Yamamoto<\/a>, the director of the first season of Haruhi who left Kyoani in 2007, voiced his thoughts on the current Endless Eight arc during an Otakon panel.

To tell you the truth\u2026 I knew this was gonna happen a year ago.
\nNot to make self-excuses or anything\u2026 the concept of this idea was floating around when I was still at Kyoto Animation, and I was against it. I said, \u201cTwo episodes is the most you can do.\u201d But, as a person who left Kyoto Animation of his own volition, I can\u2019t help but feel somewhat responsible for the way Haruhi is now. So, I\u2019d like to say, as a member of the SOS Brigade Committee, I apologize.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
