SOS-Dan Seiyuu 3 Years Later

The latest cover story of Voice Newtype (Newtype’s seiyuu-focused magazine) shows the collected seiyuu of Haruhi‘s SOS-Dan, much as it did in a previous 2006 cover.
Displaying the old (on the left) alongside the new makes for an interesting comparison, with the likely focus falling on how Tomokazu Sugita (Kyon) now appears ready to jump onboard a mecha in a leopard print plugsuit of sorts.
In case a primer on the brigade’s seiyuu is needed, they are from left to right:
Back Row
Daisuke Ono (Itsuki Koizumi), Tomokazu Sugita (Kyon)
Front Row
Minori Chihara (Nagato Yuki), Aya Hirano (Haruhi Suzumiya), Yuuko Gotou (Mikuru Asahina)
Some more information on Chihara and Gotou’s seiyuu careers is available at the past Seiyuu Surprises – Same Actor, Different Roles article.

Wow, Sugita-san changes A LOT. While others not much.
I do wish Aya Hirano would come to Malaysia (to meet fans) in the future though.
Anyone else notice how the price of the magazine has gone up 220 yen in three years?
I think I just failed a gay test.
Both guys can do cosplay of their respective characters convincingly...
well, Minorin is in Malaysia now, according to her blog. Live at DaiCon 11-12 July
Holy shi-!! Prepare for another Malaysian otaku's "Let's Hunt Minorin" again..
Just got home from her mini-concert at Daicon. I spent <10minutes at the mini-concert before i walked out.
Cookies for Sugita Tomokazu and Ono Daisuke LOL
...Did all of them grow younger or something...?
I never thought Yuuko Goto was very pretty. She's too thin.
It might explain why she'll allow herself to be in a cash -soon to die!- cow that has utterly pissed me off with FOUR goddamn episodes being repeated. And they aint done yet!@!! With this fucking shit!!!!!
FOUR FUCKING EPISODES with an end- but I know it will end by the overall title of the show.. that has EIGHT in it!!!!
So the audience will have to endure EIGHT CUNT SHITTING EPISODES to resolve a TWO part story! From what I've read, this little story filled up ONE FICKING CHAPTER inside one of those tiny books@@!@!!
God Damn it, how kyoturds has soured my appreciation for that company.
Left to right. Not right to left.
And Yuko Goto has Obama Ears.
Thanks - I'm not sure how I missed making that error...
does Aya have a fake glass eye ? her right eye just look dead
Gee... and i was at Daicon yesterday attending Minorin's Q&A session.
She's got a high-pitched voice, don't know if it's intentional.
Minori Chihara seems to want to prove the idea that Asian women age backwards. And is succeeding. She just looks amazing.
Yuuko Gotou seems to be frozen in time. The only difference between the two covers is the color temperature and her clothes.
Aya... I'm sorry, I'm a huge fan of pretty much every character Aya Hirano has done, but her new look sort of annoys me. But I know that's more of a personal taste, really. It's hard for me to ignore her eyes in these covers, too. For some reason, I always see it in the various covers she's been on, but when I see video of her, I don't notice it. I'm not sure what to make of that.
And, jeez! Both the guys stole their character's haircuts! Daisuke Ono is even wearing Koizumi's clothes. I know that outfit popped up in an episode at some point. I can't tell he's supposed to be cosplaying or he just drifted toward Koizumi's look naturally. It's like Lucky Channel all over again...
Tomokazu Sugita does have little bit of a Mr. Spock look sorta going, too. It oddly works for him. He might be the only man I could take seriously wearing that outfit, too.
I think Yuko's ears would look better if she didn't tucked her hair behind them. If she had a better hair style she would look a lot cuter.
Tomokazu became cooler day by day XD Like his voice alot !! All Hail Gin san!!
Daisuke Ono, Tomokazu Sugita and Minori Chihara have become alot better looking after 3 years. As for Aya and Goto well...no change at all.
2006 minori chihara does look that great. her current style today is much more commendable. great self transformation, indeed.
Did they get younger? lol
Aya hirano cute :3
wow..Only the nagato seiyuu suprises mee....
The seiyuu for nagato looks more like the seiyu for mikuru...but...voices never do seem to point out the faces of the seiyuu..
I'll take Aya anytime!
super true
Do you have a bigger-sized image of this?
I would like to use it as my wallpaper.
Never mind that. I just figured how.
I like Chihara Minori's look in the present and I like Aya Hiranou's look 3 years back XDD
Minorin looks sooooo much better with long silky black hair
Daisuke is the most attractive of them all now.
Not gonna lie.
Aya Hirano=princess of the universe.
Is it just me or did Yuko Goto's ears get bigger?
agree about aya,
*crap to those aya haters*
Minori Chihara is stunningly beautifull, even more so in the recent picture.
:) Indeed. I saw her in a summer dress yesterday.
She's become prettier.
And her singing improved a lot.
<3 Minori
She looks great now that she ditched the fringe.
Agreed!
Mmmm yes. She is my favourite.
Yes, very much so. She is a lovely woman.
The change in the hairstyle is also a huge improvement for her.
aya hirano is an annoying cross eyed bitch
I hope someone shoots her
Shut your whore mouth...
your right,what's wrong with crossed eyes anyway?well im not crossed eyes but i dont find it wrong,
haruhi 2: greatest troll anime ever. three years of suspense and the fans get the same episode reanimated 3 times.
Well, they are being loyal to the novel, or just being lazy...it is up to the viewers to decide.
5 times it would seem
Correction: 8 times in a row
ahh minorin. Beautiful as ever
dont you mean from left to right?
it looks to me, in this 2 year difference. the guys got significantly older and the women got younger...
Look at Sugita's hair, he's actually become Kyon!
I think Ono looks quite a bit like koizumi as well.
I think you mean he looks like Kaoru Nagisa without the white body paint.
That's very true-
Sugita and Ono have both stolen their characters' haircuts...
The guys really look cooler...
I feel kinda jealous =/
...and look much better now.
Actually, if you gave pointy ears to Sugita, he would look like Spock.
*Insert Star Trek joke here*
Yeah, the guys look better and younger: they must eat a lot of fish.
Anyone still remember that Minori-san was Aya Natsume from TenTen or did the role as Kagura in Ga-Rei Zero?
She looks hella better, though. o.o
Indeed, he would make a fine Romulan.
BTW, Chihara Minori 's gotten prettier it seems.
They look younger too.
Fuck.. Look at Aya Hirano eyes.. she's cockeyed
I agree. Eyes are definitely cockeyed. D:
Aya looks just as cute as ever. Nagato's looks very classically pretty. You can still see the intensity of excitement in Aya's face- perfect for playing Haruhi
Sure Aya's cute if you get off to retards which is sick and creepy you sick fuck I bet you masterbate at the special olympics
lol wow.
Why The Fuck would you want to be a famous cunt who does jack shit for the besides make dipshits and japs waste money on useless shit you really don't need
Having problems such as being cross-eyed makes one a retard? Well that "retard" is much more successful than anyone on sancom, thats for sure.
What!? thats Asahina's seiyuu!?
I just realized that now!!!
Asians age backwards
Guys look older, girls look younger, Yuko looks scary with ears that totally defeat the woman from Pokemon Sunday.
Ryoko ears:
http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/328489/blue_hair-hakubi_ryoko-kagami_hiiragi-tenchi_muyo-
LOL at the Pokemon Sunday comment.
Shoko-tan doesn't look scary.
Until they get married..
Then its.. well..
Aya Hirano has gone downhill precipitously.
Should have kept her long black hair.
I agree
Oh Artefact, you cad.
most notable would be her singing. well maybe she wasn't even that good to begin with. She suck so much more now. Her singing is really getting annoying.
Totally agree~!
Hmm I guess that cross-eyed look never got fixed within those 3 years.
its one of her charms
I have never notice how retarded her eyes are (obviously never found her deserving of any attention).
I agree with that charm thing yo.
I don't know, when I look at her like that my eyes start to hurt X_x
You would think they would photoshop it or something for a magazine cover like this.
the power of time!!!!!
A... mazing!
Did they get younger?! O_o
That's because of the (improvement?) in makeup/photoshop etc.
aya's hair is just wrong... i think she looks worse than when she started
i thought it was cute
nothing wrong with her hair wtf
She looks like she dresses like a frikkin' child! What's NOT wrong with that? I mean, really!
you are crazy
there is nothing wrong with her hair
We all are children inside. Live with it!
Jesus... you could feel them staring straight into your soul.
It's creepy.
hehehe ~ its the SOS Brigade effect!
They don't look too bad at all in 2006 or now.
Sugita's awesome...
