After their jolly little marketing jape to drum up a storm of conversation amongst the sad remnants of Haruhi’s fanbase, Kadokawa have graciously deigned to broadcast Haruhi-chan on YouTube after all.
You can view the first episode of Haruhi-chan here, and in quality subs here (running for only 5 minutes you may find the fuss to have not been worth the wait).
Episode one of Churuya-san resides here (running for an even briefer 2 minutes). English version here.
Fans will doubtless want to savour the seven minutes of actual content, for who knows when Kadokawa will decide to release the next episodes…
The actual content of Haruhi-chan is somewhat disappointing – the manga was excellent, but the first episode does not seem to quite capture this. Churuya-san is on the other hand is mildly charming, but so brief as to not make too great an impression.
Haruhi-ists will just have to put with this until their precious rerun arrives…

the vids are gone.
When will they just release the second season of the original anime?
I’m tired of waiting and this video just made me want it even more. 🙁
The novels are excellent though and I’m currently waiting for the 10th one which looks like it will ACTUALLY be released soon.
Haruhi-chan was kinda meh imo. But Churuya was basically an animated 4koma, which translated fairly well. Poor Churuya kept getting owned.
That was pretty nice, Haruhi-chan was amusing, but idk…Churuya-san was kind of bland…probably because it was LOL…
and that makes me sad because I really liked the 4koma Churuya….
