Soon to arrive Nagato-centric anime adaptation “The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan” has unveiled some rough sketches of its all too familiar characters, showcasing the new art-style provided by Satelight – who have been handed the reigns in place of the legendary KyoAni.
The sketches were brought to light by way of the show’s official website:
The anime is due to air during the rather hectic spring block in April.

Where the fuck is Sasaki.
Sasaki shows up eventually, in volume 6 of the manga, but I doubt they'll get to her before season 2.
There's an arc in volume 4, terminating at the beginning of volume 5, that would seem to me to be an obvious place to end the first cour (season).
I know, but this animation could be better with Sasaki.
All you haters can keep hating. I'm going to have no problem enjoying this with out you :p
Haruhi without KyoAni = FAIL Fuckaz!!
after endless 8 its for the better beta fag
oh ya, I forgot about that...lol. That did NOT need to be 8 episodes. They probably could've accomplished the EXACT same effect in 2 episodes, 3 max.
3 would have been ideal. One to show a fail, one to tease a success only to fail (could even give it the same iteration number that succeeded in the LN, to heighten the tease), then one to succeed. Eight was just too damn many. At least if they'd really gotten weird with a few of them it would have been interesting, since the start of each new iteration was the ultimate retcon (outside of Nagato's memories, and she isn't talking). But no, we basically get the same episode seven and a half times.
I know it was partially to make us empathize with Yuki's having to "live through" every iteration (set up for Disappearance), and partially to keep from having to adapt anything that happened after Disappearance before the Disappearance movie (which they would have known about already), but they could have definitely handled it better.
...handled the *reins*, not reigns.
So Haruhi is going to have a speaking role?? Because, well you know, all of drama with her VA..
She still works as voice actor without any problems, just saying.
Namely Migi from Parasyte.
They have a main cast list on the site and Suzumiya Haruhi will be voiced by Hirano Aya.
And I'm glad!
Haruhi without Aya is heresy.
Where did Yuki go??
Hey, not bad. KyoAni could learn a thing or two about distinctive character designs from these guys.
i dont have a clue... u have inbuild renderer machine? i dont. sketches, lineart... preview of what is coming soon i guess...
movie or series?
they turned off the series and decided to move the series to a place i cant reach
no power rangers please
I liked Yuki better when she was called Tokiko Mima.
WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO YO KYON!? Not done by KyoAni, DROPPED.
Actually, Kyon's design is fairly faithful to the YUKI-CHAN manga, where he's drawn with a far less cynical face compared to the traditional MELANCHOLY version, being a far less cynical character in this universe.
It's also because the YUKI-CHAN manga is drawn by Puyo, who already took a lot of liberties with the original Noizi Ito designs from the light novels in the HARUHI-CHAN manga, also drawn by Puyo, and he (?) doubles-down on the character design changes in YUKI-CHAN.
I admit I do miss the intelligence inherent in the 2006 designs. While the K-on style does have its place, and definitely did show intelligence behind the girls' faces in K-on which I attribute to why they were likable, compared to original Haruhi's smoothly angular designs, this does feel like it lacks the same mystery of the original.
That said, I agree with Sasazuka's assessment, this is not a bad derivative. It, like everything, will take a bit of getting used to considering my nostalgic enjoyment of the original. But to do so I just have to do what most otaku seem to be immune to doing when it comes to anything new or different: get their head out of their ass.
Character design sucked.
+ 1.0 from me.
Yes, because the people behind Endless Eight were such great caretakers of the franchise.
Meanwhile Kyon is voiced by Sugita,he is still fine
Without him he is not Kyon.
it's not only kyon. the other characters look also mainstream generic. yes, dropped.
Wait... This is still happening?
Obvious... Now that Hirano Aya is dubbing again we'll probably even see a 3rd season i thnk
It just doesn't look right. After nine years of the KyoAni designs, it just doesn't look right.
exactly.
That new design is weird and looks outdated somehow.
Haruhi no longer looks like a stuck-up b*tch?
That's not good, I might actually like her :(
You don't like Haruhi?! Sometimes I would pray for her to come a abuse me!
It's been a while since I've looked forward to a show as much as I'm looking forward to this one.
Do you have to have watched Suzumiya Haruhi to understand this?
Yes
no, this is a fan made series, based around the Haruhi Movie, but you don't have to know anything about Haruhi to enjoy it. The universe is self contained.
>this is a fan made series
Someone doesn't know what term "official spin-off" means.
I see Best Girl Tsuruya. That's enough to make me check it out for old times sake.
The character in the first picture looks like Gowther
It's not much of a stretch to say that Yuki is is the Haruhi-verse's Gowther.
Character designs are ok, slightly better than the ones made by that fuckin hentai artist.
Haruhi S3, this time without any trolling, please.
No idea why you're getting negative votes. I thought the way they did Endless Eight was bullshit. Especially for the DVD/BD releases.
no KyoAni = fail
The return of Kyon the generic mc.
please upvote this comment
bad (-.06) ROFL.
