Oh man it looks so good, I wonder if the studios going to ditch the highlight or not. It was everywhere in Puyo's manga.

The girls look alright but all the guys look a little weird. Except for Kunikida, but no one cares about him anyway.

Looks like Kyon got the most from the makeover, looks out of place and weird, maybe I'm just used to the old one, but still I guess it kinda makes sense that they all look younger/smooth(for lack of a better word) since this is going to be a romance anime.

Are these new characters? Where the hell is Kyon? LOL

I kinda like Nagato's Design though. And it seems that Haruhi will have long hair in this one.

Thats because this anime is completely different to the melancholy series, from the studios to what universe the story takes place. also the characters look exactly like they do in the Vanishing of Nagato Yuki-chan manga. Except Kyon, his head isn't as round in the manga.

What the fuck is this shit! They don't even look like the original characters. They're better off just calling this a f-ing spin off with new characters. I bet the studio is going to catch unholy hell for murdering the characters original look.

The thing is...it's a spin-off...and the character did change since it's an alternate timeline(probably since I didn't read the LN/manga).

The girls are fine, the guys are fine for the most part too but kyon...



If he retains his sarcastic personality from the original show then I'll be somewhat okay with this.

Edit: I decided to go through a bit of the manga for this and I guess I can't blame the studio for Kyon's design because that indeed how he looks in the manga sadly.

They aren't so bad, but it sure is goingf to take a while to get used to these new designs seeing as I'm so used to the Kyoani designs. Kyon's in particular looks so different to the Kyoani version that it's somewhat jarring.

Oh well, it's an alternate universe and a different studio so I can live with it.

I suppose I should have expected Internet Overreaction here. The designs are fine, but I do agree Kyon's look is the most different. Of course I'd prefer them to look exactly the same, but I'll adjust when it comes out.

At the risk of sounding like "one of those guys", however, Haruhi is a gorgeous bastion of sheer gorgeousness in any universe.
The interesting and strong female characters in this franchise, though, has always been one of its core strengths, so it's nice to see characters like Asakura and Tsuruya here along with the three SOS Brigade girls.

I'm also interested to see if they give a little more attention to the guys, as well. I'd like to see Taniguchi and Kunikida have a little more to do.

I heard that Kyon looks exactly like this in the manga spinoff so these are accurate accurate designs from the spinoff.

I think most of them look fine, but I don't remember Kyon having such a round face in the spin-off series... It's definately going to feel like a whole new series.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he's transformed into the "kind" and "thoughtful" kind of guy in this one. This will not be the Kyon we all know and love, which is for shame. The spin-off is great for a series by itself, but it's very different from the original work.

Did they seriously butcher one of my favorite characters - Kyon? Not only desingwise but also characterwise? I was looking forward for this, but now I feel disgusted.
At least there's still Fate/stay to save the season.


Something that needs to be understood is this is a completely different series, author, character. This isn't melancholy season 3 - this is not Kyon from melancholy - this is a character named Kyon from a series based completely off a different series of manga.

Something to keep in mind: Kyon is not the MC anymore, we don't get inside his head, where most of his sarcasm really was. And since he doesn't have Haruhi making him "miserable", then he ends up like he would have been if he hadn't had her influence in his life.

Remember the very very beginning of Melancholy and how happy/polite/friendly Kyon was when introducing himself to the class (for like 5 whole seconds)? He was trying to be like that to make friends, but then Haruhi happened. In this version of reality, he kept trying to be like that and made different friends: friends like Yuki who liked his easygoing friendliness and kindness. So Kyon continued to cultivate and display those qualities.

It's not a butchering of a character, just an alternate telling. It's still Kyon.

I get what you're saying but, no, don't give out inaccurate info, they are both written Nagaru Tanigawa and both use Noizi Ito's characters.

This is however a spin off of the alternate universe that was in fact in the movie, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. But it's taking place from scratch as if we know nothing of the original series. So the personalities are different. That has nothing to do with the terrible art, thanks to an artist change and we have an fairly inexperienced director whose only done episodes here and there. I foresee constant cliche repetitive jokes that aren't funny or cute with chibi caricatures thrown everywhere.

What made the Haruhi series good was the clever writing and consistent art. Watch the Haruhi-chan shorts to get an idea of what this will probably be like art wise. I loved the way Yuki was in The Disappearance. That's what a lot of people wanted, the same quality production with the new story. Instead they moe it up and turn it into a really cheesy comedy, with terribly cliche personality traits and a generic premise. I'm not looking forward to it, but hopefully it surprises us all.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but this anime is based on a manga that neither Tanigawa nor Ito had anything to do with. It was both written and illustrated by somebody named Puyo.

This guy is right. As far as I know, Nagaru Tanigawa has nothing to do with the story and the direction of the manga.

I personally can't wait for this to come out. The manga is so warm and great to read.

Truth. Definitely a fuzzy story, makes you feel good about the simple things in life and appreciate the friends you have.

Although, TMoHS also made me really appreciate my friends, too.
