Main characters designs now and in colors.
I saw that the other day. I'm a little iffy about it. Either way I'm gonna watch it. Wish they at least attempt to make it a little more like the original

No colored Taniguchi and Kunikida for now.
At least they're doing something with the franchise, unlike Kyoani.
>>121527909
why does he look like that?
Clearly prefer kyoani design.

Jesus Christ
Why are they cosplaying as Haruhi characters?
>>121528232
It all makes sense now.
Haruhi and Kyon look terrible.
Everyone else is kind of allright.
Still gonnatorrentthe BD.
the art just looks like all the bullshit that's been coming out lately. I don't mind it for new shit but i mean c'mon you gotta know only haruhi fans are gonna watch it consistently so why not make the arts a little bit similar to the original. How do those with a haruhi waifu feel about the new look?
>>121528056
Damn how could they fuck her up so bad?
They changed it, so now it sucks.
I don't actually think there is anything wrong with these character designs per se. It's just... different to what we're used to. Shitsux
death threats when?
>>121528285
Who cares if it's different?
They're not doing S3, only a spin-off.
>>121528285
The Kyon design is definitely worse. Too fresh-faced.
>>121528056
>that giant forehead tho
>>121528322
'Who cares'
Almost everyone in this thread?
>>121528285
Honestly they're pretty horrible. They're not appealing to look at. It's like what happened to Hayate when it went to Manglobe. The character designs suffered.
>>121528322
Something tells me they're doing this to gauge interest for S3. If it sells well, then S3 may be a possibility in the near future.
>>121528185
>>121528347
then s3 is fucked at this rate
>>121528266
shit
>>121528285
No, Kyon's design is actually shit.
>>121528343
And I don't understand why they do.
Did they get butthurt over the chibi designs of haruhi-chan because they were "different"?
Nope, there was no reason because it was a spin-off, same thing here.
>>121528347
Just hope If s3 will come true, and it isn't kyoAni at least they don't butchered as fuck (like this spin-off) the kyoAni's design
>>121528360
His butt hurts from his awful character design.
>>121527883
T-that's not the Nagato-san I know
>>121528285
Kyon design, and haruhi design are shit. I don't bother about yuki design tho.
>>121528431
Kyoani can butcher their own designs on their own.
We've seen that with the K-onified Haruhi S2.
>>121528411
haruhi chan were shorts with no real direction, they advertised it as fan service. silliness was expected, even then the chibi style atleast didn't make them look like fluffy bitches, they still had sharp angles. This is a story that we all secretly wanted when the movie came out. Its not really fair to compare the too.
>>121528457
The Nagato san you know got rejected by Kyon.
So yeah it's not her.
>>121528497
but this story line is about her.
>>121528470
But it's still good, at least they didn't butcher hard the kyon design.
>>121528477
It's the exact same thing, a non canon spin-off with different character designs.
Just because this time you wish it was canon doesn't change anything.
The girls look great but Kyon looks a bit weird. Maybe it's just that pic, tho.
>>121528477
>a story that we all secretly wanted
That is fanservice though. Going so far as to make a spin-off to include what part of the audience wants.
>>121527989
Who is this cum collector?
>>121527909
People only whine about Kyon's design because its popular.
>>121528551
He looks strange in the manga as well.
kyon, haruhi and tsuruya's designs are unbearable to me.
fuck them.
>>121528545
one was to be silly, it called for the character design this one is supposed be a spin off yes but a spin off of an alternate timline that we saw in the cannon series. You would have a point if we never saw how the other universe looked but we did in the movie and this is supposed to be that same universe. Denial ain't just a river in egypt, friend.
>>121528585
Ok, then it's fine.
Who the fuck care?
KyoAni's design doesn't look anything like the LN either.
>>121528704
The difference is that the KyoAni character designs actually looked good. If anything, they improved on the original designs. By contrast, these designs look very unattractive and would easily turn off fans and non-fans alike.
>>121528056
>good
>bad
the keyword here is GENERIC
>>121528704
>Who the fuck care?
Why do you idiots keep saying this? Clearly people in this thread care.
>>121528766
>KyoAni character designs actually looked good
HA HA HA HA faggot.
>>121528641
Haruhi-chan was supposed to be silly, and this one is supposed to be a romance from Yuki's point of view.
Even if the story is set in an alternate timeline it doesn't have to have the same design as the main series, especially when the manga it's adapting already has a different character design.
>>121528799
>being in this much denial
>>121528799
>>121528837
>kyoanus shill
You will watch this anime.
>>121528704
Do the Kyon above has any Kyon's personality in it?
It is not about the difference in art style, it is totally about how you depict a character's personality.
>>121528834
but we are talking from a fan of the movies point of view. The manga art wasn't this bad.
>>121528856
This so much.
>>121527909
>>121528886
I'm a big fan of the movie, and this is my point of view.
It's a spin-off, deal with the new designs.
Be happy there's more Haruhi and that even if they fuck it up it doesn't matter because it's not canon.
>>121528958
As much as we're happy that there's more Haruhi on the way in whatever form, these character designs are unacceptable. I actually don't mind having a redesign, but even for a redesign these look poor. Oregairu's character design change when they moved to Feel looked better than this.
>>121528958
but the design ruins the whole feel of the series, but now it looks like everyone is gonna go to the new indoor pool that haruhi just so happened to receive the exact amount of free tickets for all her friends to go so that she can get nagato alone with kyon.
>>121527883
>>121527909
>>121527947
>>121527989
>>121528022
>>121528056
Who are these people?
I bet they sound wrong too.
>>121529015
I think they're fine.
More cutesy and round perfectly fitted for the type of story we're having.
Kyon's change makes sense considering he isn't the sarcastic protagonist, he's a love interest now.
>>121529078
>but the design ruins the whole feel of the series
How do you know how the series feel yet?
It's a spin-off so of course the goal isn't to feel the same as the main series. The new character designs help to achieve that.
>>121528958
If kyon's design is butchered to be 8man(s1)-ish design then I don't mind.
>>121529085
original cast is voicing them
>>121529126
>Kyon's change makes sense considering he isn't the sarcastic protagonist, he's a love interest now.
You've read the manga? Then it's okay even though I still prefer the sarcastic protagonist design.
>>121527909
He looks like he is from fucking Animal Crossing or some shit.
I hope this shit crashes and burns. A final death knell for an overrated garbage shitty series and its lazy-ass author.

>>121529373
>watching dubbed anime
>not exploiting anime passion to learn a new language
>>121528056
probably the worst
>>121529373I actually really like Crispin Freeman
the designs are not half bad, they still have the general look down. If anything they are sticking to a more "modern feel"
>>121527909
I actually think this a better desing. Kyoani made Kyon too old for a 17 yo
>>121527989
Mikuro looks like Shoko from Koe no katachi
>>121528056
haruhi is terrible in every single way
>>121527909
He looks like a total FAG
>>121529648
What are you talking about, anon?
If anything these designs look dated compared to the originals.
>>121529669
Have you seen any 17 year olds in person before?
Kyon looks more like he is 14 in the new design.
>>121528056
And now imagine that you will see this body naked in anime.
>>121527909
This Kyon looks like a Yahari's 8man ripoff
>>121529503
>bothering to learn a new language just to watch their children's cartoons
I still believe they are rusing us. I really hope they are rusing us.
>>121527883

This thread and everything in it is horrible
>>121529714
>If anything these designs look dated compared to the originals.
Dude, all of the girls in the originals look like they came straight from an old Key VN with their ridiculously uguu faces. I mean SHIT look at how far apart their huge eyes are in most scenes and in most promo art. Nobody can defend this garbage (although the Yuki-chan artstyle is boring soft crap so it ain't much better either).
Well, the designs are based off the manga spin-off, and they're pretty close to that.
So comparing them to the Kyoani Haruhi show isn't that correct, when the source is different already.
That said Kyon and Haruhi are terrible.
The other aren't that bad, given that you're not comparing them to LN/Kyoani designs, as unrelated thing.
Because this is pretty much unrelated, not your S3never, deal with it.
>>121527883
I'm not a fan of this whole Yuki-chan thing, but I knew about it, so I can accept her "softer" design. The rest of the cast is okay, although Haruhi could have done with "sharper" eyes.
All except Kyon. He looks terrible. The other characters were merely "softened" to varying degrees, but he's outright replaced by the current generic anime boy.
So do we expect this to sell well or not?
>>121530827
it's mostly a bad, SOL. It won't sell more than 2000
>>121530959
What about the Haruhi fans?
>>121530827
>generic SOL with one of the better-known franchises behind it
I have no clue.
>>121530991
Don't most haruhi-fags like haruhi more instead yuki? Also prism ilya didn't sell well even though they're fate series franchise.
I doubt they would buy it tho if they don't give ultimatum like "If yuki-chan doesn't sell well, you would not get haruhi s3"
>>121531124
>Also prism ilya didn't sell well
Really?
>>121531293
>3k
It's technically shit compared other fate series franchise
>>121528056
At least those fangs are cute. That's the nicest thing I can say.
>>121531336

>>121531124
>Don't most haruhi-fags like haruhi more instead yuki?
Nagato has a lot of followers, especially after the movie came out.
However this Yuki-chan will probably have a clearly distinct personality from the one we are accustomed to, so I'm not sure if it will be liked or not.
>>121531336
it's a midbudget spinoff by Silverlink, it did a decent job

I know they are not Kyoani but GOD DMAN.
>>121532009
I don't always telling people this butyou have such a shit taste, anon
I guess nobody cares enough about Mikuru to give opinions about her design either way
Look closely you will find that Sth. is missing on the north high uniform.
I think it is intended.
Abandon ship
>>121531617
I guess becaue sarcastic Kyon might actually have a personality. This could cause problems with disapperance-Yuki that they would have to work out instead of asspull-'Then she got hit by a car'-drama! Can't have that, they're the perfect match made in heaven after all!
>>121527909
The fuck is this?
>>121532074
She looks the best because the artstyle kind of suits her personality.
Koizumi looks okay too.
>>121527909
>>121528056
Well done, fucking well done.
>>121532074
She is a useless character in this spin off...I don't even remember what she has done in the story.
>>121532216
Alternate universe Haruhi where Nagato is a moeblob instead of an emotionless reality-warping alien.
I assume this normalcy extends to everybody: Mikuru isn't a time traveler, Koizumi isn't an Esper, and Haruhi isn't a god oblivious to her own powers?
>>121531852
This. I don't like the other ones much either, but at least I can stand them. Yuki and Kyon? No way.
It looks more like Working! S3 than Haruhi
>>121527909
who is this guy

And most people will still thought Kyoani did this even after it finished airing.
>>121532602
also of course
>>121532074
I don't really mind at all, to be honest, the "softer" look work quite well for her.
Kyon and Haruhi on the other hand are even worse than the manga, which isn't that good either.
>>121532602
Please tell me that Kyon doesn't start to slip and fall into tits like a retard
PLEASE
>>121528056
WHAT THE FUCK
WHY
NO
WHYYYYY
I can't. I can't even.
When season 2 came along, I was disgruntled with the change in artstyle, but I came to accept it because it was some semblance of tolerable.
This? This is bullshit, especially Kyon's design. It might as well be a different character.
You know that you'll watch it anyway and liking it no matter what.
Honestly, I don't mind these designs that much. Yuki & Mikuru look extremely fucking cute.
>>121528056
What is this?
>>121533051
The future, anon. The S3 replacement. And it hasn't even begun yet.
The only change I actually like is Mikuru
Maybe yuki too
The rest can suck my dick
>>121528056
Besides Koizumi and Mikuru (Who are not terribad), I like this design. Can't wait to see her steal the show.
>>121532942
>I was disgruntled with the change in artstyle
Yeah, they should totally keep Alien Uguu faces.
Because there's much artistic integrity in those.
fuck everyone in this thread
>>121533262
Why?
>>121532860
Well, across whole manga there are two cases when he ends falling on Yuki. But never it was really his fault. First time it was Yuki who was falling and pulled him to herself, Second time he was brutally kicked by his sister.
>just finished Surprise

Could be worse.Never liked Asakura anyway. Taniguchi has shit taste
>>121527989
Moeblob looks even more moeblob. Noting wrong here.
>>121528022
Like with Mikuru, the style is works here.
>>121528056
No.
>>121533258
I'm saying the first season was the better one, if not the best style that they should've kept with.
>>121532860
>muh Kyon never doe anything like he's a protagonist from romantic comedy loosely mixed with sci-fi elements
>he surely never walked into room while Haruhi changed clothes of Mikuru or even fall on the floor and saw her panties

Should be noted that these two cases are really the only ones in the entire manga.
>>121533814
And no value was lost.
>>121533924
Definitely not, this is too much.
>>121533801
Ah, right. The movie.
I suppose I can agree with you there that the movie was quite well done.
Maybe I was just too used to the first season. It took ages for S2 to come out.
>>121533864
You know what, Itsuki can be removed completely from the story without affecting the plot. He is even more pointless than Mikuru...
>>121534047
Surprisingly it's otherwise. Itsuki has some minor action in the storyline (in later chapters he is active even more). Mikuru is here just sidekick for Tsuruya.
>>121527883
A reminder that OST for this anime will be done by Tatsuya Katou!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAVsV7PyfaY
It's just a pachinko commercial. Kadokawa isn't even funding it. Just a pachinko company that owns Satelight
Mikuru is still a fucking midget.
>>121533389
We'll never get to see it. ;_;or not see it if it follows Kyon's POV but you know what I mean.
>>121534814
Thank you for clean-up based anon.
I prefer the Kyoani design but the satelight design is really cute.
>>121534885
here have then png, i am shit at this though
>>121534958
You are god!
>>121534814
>>121534958
Seriously, if it franchise premiered today Yuki would wear a pantyhose, and Haruhi a ZR
>>121535083
And Tsuruya spats of course
>manga has unique design
>people are surprised that the anime adaption also has a design different compared to the Kyoani anime
You are all a bunch of dumb idiots.
>>121534958
Kyon looks kinda small, I think they fucked up the scale.
>>121535209
The mangadesigns are acceptable.
>>121534814
THIS however.
>>121535110
How do you know Tsuruya doesn't already wear spats to protect her chastity?
She IS the daughter of a very influential man, after all.
>>121534752
Picked up my interest for this, nowadays I mostly watch anime for the great soundtracks.
>>121534814
Nobody cares about Mikuru anyway
>>121535284
They would've been slightly visable
My only hope is the original cast can bring some nostalgia to me.
>>121532531
It's the guy who told to pick up the phone by his sister, apparently
>>121534814
>>121535266
The only one whose design feels off is Kyon's to be honest.
Every other character seems like a nice cross between the manga designs and the original designs by the creator.
I don't see why the KyoAni designs get so much praise, they hardly look any different from any other KyoAni crap and compared to all the other versions, including the LN designs, they always looked incredibly bland.
Again, Kyon's the only one here I think who looks a little generic and unrecognizable here, but I'd rather wait and see his character in action in the series with the original VA, because I think what made Kyon look distinct from the other characters in the KyoAni series was mostly his bored sleepy eyed look.
>>121535433
our only hope is for sugita to do all of his lines in the most deadpan voice to maintain his original character
generic MC lines would still work if he kept the voice and tone
Should change the title to The Disappointment of Yuki Nagato
The girls looks fine, but Kyon is FUCKING disgusting.
>>121535573
Well there are a few parts in the manga where Kyon comes off as kind of a dick, like when he first meets Yuki in the library and tells her that she's hopeless.
I actually thought that was funny because that's when Yuki first meets and falls for Kyon, but he kind of lazily helped her cause she seemed really pathetic.
>>121535580
Why? She is pretty much happy here.
>>121535716
Did Kyon ever smile in S1 or 2? I honestly can't remember and now I'm curious

>>121536236
Because he doesn't have to bear with Haruhi's bullshit in this timeline, so he's much calm and happy with the same friends+a friendly Ryoko.
>>121533929
Actually there is one more case. Although it's more throwing than falling.
Anybody who's familiar with the source material: is there actual romantic resolution or does it just play will-they-or-won't-they until the bitter end?

>>121536518
The recurring gag or theme is that other people keep getting in the way, especially after Haruhi shows up. I wouldn't call it a will they or won't they situation or a harem. It's pretty obvious the two want to do it with each other specifically.
Why does she sit like that?
>>121536432
Well, let's see. Yuki confessed but then she got amnesia so she forgot. Then Kyon confessed but he intentionally did it during fireworks so she wouldn't hear. And now there's love triangle bullshit I'm not invested in enough to see get resolved.
>>121536575
maybe her book hurts
>>121536566
>I wouldn't call it a will they or won't they situation or a harem. It's pretty obvious the two want to do it with each other specifically.
The fact that they don't is what makes it a will-they-or-won't-they.
