You may have heard of Haruhi spinoff/parody manga 涼宮ハルヒちゃんの憂鬱 / The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan (see below), by ぷよ / Puyo, a superb and most amusing manga using the SOS-dan, but eschewing the ridiculous story and serious elements of the original in favour of parody and absurdity (famously Nagato is a determined erogamer, for example).
It has gained great popularity, and even the authors of the original have stated that they should probably made the main story like it; the popularity has allowed an anime adaptation, just announced.
However, in something of a twist the anime will be distributed online via YouTube (Nico must be weeping), rather than be a conventional anime. Quite disappointing; really it is better than the original and deserves a full series, though maybe one will be forthcoming later. At any rate, even a YouTube anime may be better than none, perhaps.

Nyoron (puchi Tsuruya-san) also seems set to get a mini-anime.
In case you’re not familiar with the manga in question (it comes highly recommended):



















































hmmmm, while I am appalled that you would consider this better than the original novels/anime, it does look rather interesting. from the raw manga posted i can see it's really funny...but is there a translated version?!?! i must read it!!!!
lol yeah is there a translation? D=
So this is how it looks like, I hear abt it ffrom the local magazines.
Looks nice, tranlations plz?
Hell yeah, furigana!
Hahahaha, man, after reading of little bit of this I've changed my mind about this turning into an anime (even if it is only on youtube). It will breath some life back into the Haruhi franchise that seems like it's at a standstill right now.
This is quite hilarious, just judging from the pictures. It's really cutely done, considering it'll be like 4-koma.
Scanslations where?
