I want to watch this show, but what the heck happened to the art style???? Is that Kyon?? Man, what the f@ck? Why do they look like this??

I'm going to start this anime today because I really liked the original, but I don't know if I'm going to like this. I wanted to know how fans of the original perceived this series and if it's better, worse, or the same.

Please lemme know your thoughts.

the reception from fans I remember wasn't good. I remember something that Arkada said which I found fitting
If you watched Haruhi for the supernatural aspect you will not like this show
but if you watched it simply for the characters you'll more often than not like this show

Of course there is the problem Nagoto isn't a alien robot anymore but that gets expanded upon later

Thanks for your input. I didn't watch it for anything initially. Just to say I watched it really. I hope the characters arent too different from how they were before (personality wise), asides from Yuki of course.

Personality wise they're the same with the exception of Ryouko and Yuki

From what I have watched, it's definitely worse overall. No doubt. It's not bad, but definitely could not hold a candle with the original series. As for my enjoyment, I definitely disliked it. It felt more like an anime for Nagato fans more than for the series fans. And even Nagato acted differently than the original Disappearance universe.

Don't watch it. Most of the episodes are shit.
I still can't get over how terrible Kyon's new design is. It hurts to look at.


Thanks you guys for letting me know. I wont go in with any overwhelming expectations then. At least it's only 16 episodes long though!

I realized this is basically necroposting(?) but I just wanted to say this just in case someone stumbles on this forum thread in the future.

I loved both the original franchise and this show! The characters and art looks different sure, but they are still your familiar Haruhi characters—you'll feel right at home here.

I cannot for the life of me understand the low ratings for this show. It's one wonderful, sweet, and cute romcom. What more could you ask for? We get to see more voice lines from otherwise "side characters" from the original franchise and get to see more sides of them. The entire show felt very much like a "gift" to the fans... well, I guess only to a small group of fans like me since this show clearly wasn't received well.

From the episode names, to the characters' mannerisms, to familiar scenes, and nostalgic soundtracks—it's definitely more than I bargained for. I felt like I got to "go home" and re-experience everything all over again.

This is my pure speculation, but a stubborn part of me believes the ratings have been tampered with or have been intentionally bombed by ""fans"" of the original franchise (do they even deserve to be called "fans" at this point?), so pay no attention to it and enjoy the show as it is—a sweet romcom in an alternate Haruhi universe.


Don't know if this counts as a spoiler, so read my thoughts here with caution: I went in this spin-off with the full mindset of liking Yuki Nagato, and I did, but funnily enough, I ended up liking Haruhi Suzumiya even more! xD

I hope future viewers would get to enjoy this show just as much as I did. What a treat it is!

This little spin-off is exactly what I would call adorable. When I first discovered this, I really didn’t know what to think since it has such a bad rating. But I can say as a fan of the Haruhi Suzumiya series, that this was completely worth my time. It made me love Yuki even more than I already did. The dude above is right in every single way.

I realize this is late, but also wanted to add agreement to the recent posts. This show is highly underrated and doesn't deserve the 6.7 rating it has (I rated it 8 and the original Haruhi series as 9). I've seen the original, the film, and read all Haruhi LN to date. A few thoughts:
- Don't watch this series before watching the "Disappearance..." movie from the original as this series is basically set in the universe that occurs during a large part of the movie
- The art is fine, Satelight did a good job. The characters have more of a moe affect than the original, but that is intended, as...
- This series has a far more relaxed and homey feel. The characters are cuter (this Nagato will kill you with cuteness, you'll literally fall over), the situations are less intense, there's very little action. Because Haruhi's involvement is minimized, this Kyon is sweeter and less cynical (and his design reflects that)...he's a far more likable person in my opinion. By the way, the Haruhi that is in this series is also a kinder and overall more likable person, she's just not the icon we also know and love
- This is far more character driven and less focused on the supernatural. If you want more Haruhi, or more Asahina or more Koizumi, this ain't it. If you are a Yuki fan or you watched the movie and shipped Yuki and Kyon, this is for you
- Remember, this is a side story it's not intended to continue on from Haruhi...sorry, it's not Haruhi season 3 (all of our wishes probably won't ever make that happen) but it does a great job maintaining continuity from the original and the movie and it includes a ton of easter eggs for Haruhi fans.

Plenty of fans of the original love this series. Clearly plenty don't, and that's ok, but I really think many of those who hate it went in with the wrong expectations and should rewatch it without the expectation that it's Haruhi Season 3.

This spin-off is really wholesome if you've watched the parent story.

I don't mind the studio change tho, in-fact it made nagato 10x much cuter.

There are also scenes here that you can't find in the original, like Haruhi sometimes not acting the way she is and more.

I think the reason (in my own opinion) this show is so low is because of the ending at episode 16 where [/spoiler]Kyon confesses at nagato in the middle of the fireworks show, that scene made all of the entire build up from the past couple of episodes wasted.

I'm sure i'm not the only one who is disappointed.

Some of you might say, "Kyon and Nagato will end up later in the series"

If that was included in the anime, the score will be much higher.

7/10 for me, if there will be season 2 (which will never come) i'll look forward to it and score it much higher. (if it will satisfy me)

I’m late, but if you wanna watch this, and you’re a Nagato fan, then I’d say, give it a shot.
For me, I hated it. It sucked a whole lot, but everyone has opinions.

I quite enjoyed this... dare I say... more than the original and it's garbage second season??

That being said, I haven't seen the movie yet, but from the hype I bet I'll like that the most out of all of them

The general consensus of the Haruhi community is that it is indeed, trash. So much so that only the more veteran Haruhi fans even know about this show's existence.

Basically, this is what Handa-kun was to Barakamon.

God no. Never trust a Haruhi fan who liked this or the manga it's based off of.

I completed the movie yesterday and I just wanted to see KyonXYuki, so this spinoff counts as nothing but a gift
I was kinda apprehensive because of the ratings, but after reading your opinions, I think I’ll love it
If you are from South East Asia, then I request you, when you will start an anime, you search if it is available on Muse Asia and Ani-one Asia, before looking through piracy websites

I absolutely love it. Anything with Haruhi is perfection and God Tier status.

Hell yes. I knew I'd see you here due to your signature picture and I'm happy I did.

The characters may look familiar, but they don't behave anything like the characters I know and love. This show only uses the Haruhi brand because nobody would watch it otherwise.
