Just about all the Kyoto Animation anime characters (Haruhi, Lucky Star, Clannad, etc.) to date appear in this performance of the Haruhi ED, with the whole thing being executed in rather good quality.

Couldn’t resist translating this image; classic Nagato?

This itasha, spotted parked in Akihabara, sports an interesting motif, incorporating as it does Kyonko, the long suffering gender swapped companion of Haruhi. Feminised Koizumi also makes an appearance.

You can see some rather fantastic craftsmanship in this Suzumiya Haruhi doll, and in certain very special respects (see below), there is exceptional attention to detail.
The cost? If this auction is anything to go by, a mere ¥90,000 ($900). The one you see here has apparently been modified, and is most definitely not for sale.

These two compilation images offer an exhaustive look at some of the most popular art depicting the chests of anime idols Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato. If you look closely, you can see there does appear to be some variation in the bust size of Haruhi, perhaps mainly down to the artist and medium, though apparently very little in that of Nagato.

Cosplay JAVs seems to be a thriving genre lately, with recent titles based on Code Geass, Clannad, Haruhi, Eva and even inverted bikini fashion star Aya Hirano. The latest, featuring a performer “resembling” haruhi cos-raep character Mikuru, is 朝比奈クルミの素股で大冒険 つぼみ / Asahina Kurumi no Sumata de Daibouken Tsubomi, or “The Great Intercrural Sex Adventure of Asahina Kurumi, with Tsubomi“; the sample movie certainly seems to fit the title.

Not just Kyonko, but also Haruhi and Nagato, and the rest of the SOS-dan, get some witty/sexy/strange gender swap treatment in this gallery. Bishonen Nagato actually gets my vote for most interesting, though Haruhiko (an actual male name) preparing for Kyonko raep in various images is also entertaining.
Also included are a variety of crossover/untoward/strange type images (for example the bizarre Simpsons parody image, or Nendoroid Kyonko).
Naturally, you can also view them on the Channel (as ever, feel free to participate in tagging and voting).

Here we have a spot of relaxing “delivery therapy” promised by a gurning Mikuru, taking the usual anime themed advertising of these services a little far. It does not say whether the dispatch of a girl cosplaying Mikuru is an option for relaxation enhancement.

According to the official announcement by way of this poster, the much anticpated Haruhi dance game, Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou, due late November and which we saw much of earlier, is to have its dance portion cancelled in favour of some intriguing minigames.

A Haruhi/Nagato cosplayer shows very sporting attention to detail in this interesting crouching pose, wearing classic shimapan/striped pantsu. From her top it must be Nagato, but she has Haruhi-ish hair, I’d say.
I’m not sure how common striped pantsu are amongst the general female populace in Japan or elsewhere, but my guess is quite uncommon?

As if the upcoming dance game and DS game weren’t enough, now the Wii is set to receive a second Haruhi game, provisionally titled 涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱 / Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (strangely familiar title there).

Idol and dabbling seiyuu Aya Hirano sustained no less than two serious injuries in recent days, both perhaps related to her long and losing battle with obesity, we hear.
