She looks like a fucking Keion. Why did Kyoani do this?
>>141734225
Because it's better than looking like a retarded alien.
Is this a new bluray release?
>>141734269
The sameface gets stale after a while
>>141734225
haruhi is cute in all shapes and forms
>>141734357
>kyoani not samefacing
KEK
In season one they looked like Clannad, in season two they looked like K-On! and in the new album art they look like Eupho.
Kyoani sameface is getting to be almost as bad as A1 sameface
>>141734269
2006 designs had its own charm.

>>141734476
You could probably switch their faces and they'd still look relatively the same
>>141734225
Would you have preferred this?

Yes

It's an improvement.
>>141734476
>in the new album art they look like Eupho.
God, what did they do to Nagato?
>>141734225
I downloaded a batch in chronological order. At first I was disgusted by her bug face design, but I just assumed I got used to it.
I guess I never noticed her design going back and forth.
>>141734711
This is our future
>>141734845
*past.
>>141734845
At least Haruhi still looks good.
>>141734845
Haruhi peaked with this art.

>>141734845

Anybody who thinks the blob shit at the bottom looks better than the top can go ahead and dis-invite themselves from my wedding.
Haruhi is a dangerous psychopathic megalomaniac bitch and she should be drawn ugly. I hate Haruhi so much.

Mikuru is an improvement

>>141735180
Do you need to be escorted to miracle eye?
>>141735015

Best designs coming throughlol jk kill me
>>141734615
>>141734845
The only stuff that looks right on this picture are the curtains. Haruhi looks too fucking tall and curvaceous. Mah Haruhi is supposed to be nice and small. Kyon is supposed to be at least a foot taller than Haruhi, and he's not supposed to have sparkly eyes.
>>141734269
or esper, or time traveler, or slider
>>141734845
It's disgusting.
>>141734914
>>141734929
What the fuck is wrong with you? This is not Haruhi. This looks like some lame boring nice background girl who waters sensei's classroom cacti collection.
>>141734225
I never noticed how dramatic the change was.
>>141734619
looks fucking awesome actually and i would definitely watch this
>>141735544
Kyon is definitely taller than her with the way he's leaning there. And Haruhi has always been curvaceous.
yes, kyoani suffers from sameface syndrome
character design is hard.
>>141735592
Now that you mention it I'm having a hard time imagining that face doing the faces in OP's pic.

Modern Haruhi >>>> Keion and Clannad Haruhi
Here's a nice diagram that compares the Haruhi cast as drawn by different animators. In a few episodes from season 1, the Haruhi cast remind me of Kanon/Air characters.
>>141734619
...yes
>>141735015
I didn't even know I was invited for having good taste, but regardless you still my niggaEven though Disappearance looked fantastic, I like the iconic charm of S1 better and I have a nostalgia boner for early-mid 2000s anime art styles
>>141735364
Doors that way, senpai.
>>141734845
Why is Haruhi a hitler youth?
>>141735918
Is there a bigger one?
>Kyon
>170cm tall
What a fucking manlet.
>>141735646 Looks like her bust area and hips are equal in length. Here, her hips look much wider >>141734845 Weird
>>141734845
>>141735364
hey guys wats up
These were the best designs.
>>141735918
1: Good.
2: pretty bad, fucked up the eyes, Kyon's face is meh
3-4: Perfect. Face proportions are good, eyes are shiny just the way they should. Best episodes too.
5: Simple and good, the vidya episode was pretty funny
6: meh
7: Lots of efforts on hair and colors, I like it.
8: Perfect
9: Ok. Kinda moeish
10-11: it's fucking K-on
12: meh
What's with all these Haruhi threads. Is there a new announcement I'm not aware of?
>>141734845
S2 > S3 > S1.
K-On Haruhi > ??? Haruhi > Clannad Haruhi.
>>141734619
This art style makes me want tobullyMikuru so hard.
Kyon is a little to round faced in my opinion.
>>141736516
In the announcement of the new album that got us this image>>141734845
They also said to check out for news because the SOS brigade was going to be doing stuff together this year.
We all know what that means,sequel pachinko machine.
>>141735738
its not KyonJk it is faggot
>>141736549
Disappearance designs are perfect, they should just reuse them
>>141734619
What's Shinji doing there?
>>141734845
Quite frankly I don't see what's so terrible about this. Yeah, it'd their usual style but it's not so wildly different from '09 to be a big deal.
>>141736643
Everything about disappearance was great, maybe the reason S3 hasn't been made yet is because they know they've peaked.lol jk, it's cause of Bassist-kun.
>people unironically liking the clannad KAWAII UGUU tier faces
i thought this meme died 10 years ago
HARUHI IS A SLUT VOICED BY REAL LIFE SLUT AYA HIRANO
>>141736746
Good. I like sluts.
>>141736677
Kyon's face is too round and soft, Nagato's hair has too much volume and Koizumi's face is in a weird angle so it doesn't look good
>>141736697
Actually it's because Tanigawa doesn't release LN12 and no they could probably make something as good or better than Disappearance with the Dissociation+Surprise arc
Should I rewatch all of Haruhi before watching Disappearance?
>>141736787
It's probably not necessary. Disappearance is more or less a standalone story.
>>141734619
Haruhi is too generic, Kyon looks smug which doesn't fit with his characters. The rest are fine, Mikuru is even an improvement.
>>141735618
I wonder how much less sense the way this episode is cut at the end would make in chronological order.
>>141736746
Sluts are great. Haruhi is the god of sluts.
>>141734619
haruhi looks more like kyon than kyon does
>>141736787
Other than maybe skipping a few of the Endless Eight, yes.
>>141736787
As long as you watch all of Endless Eight, yes.
>>141736603
What's the possibility of a S3?
>>141736746
I don't see the issue. Haruhi is a pure slut, too.
>>141734619
Disgusting
>>141734225
Top looks like shit.
>>141737087
Haruhi is pure. She only has eyes for Kyon.
>>141734619
I want to have rough sex with that Nagato
>>141737120
She's pure for the reasons you just mentioned and some of the weirdly adorable reasons she's managed to fuck up space and time, but she also knows how hot she is and how to use it to get what she wants. And sometimes gropes futureslut.
>>141737182
She doesn´t
>>141736304
now this is a post I can get behind
So did Disappearance happen because Haruhi wanted to be around a slider as well?
>>141737050
0%. Kyoani hates Haruhi and pretends it never happened.
>>141734619
I like it for everyone but Kyon who went from an apathetic tall guy to smug Shinji.
>>141734619
Great except for Kyon. Kyon's design is just way too perfect for him.
>>141737247
I'll get her to understand the beauty of dicks
>>141736085
She's not. Red armbands signify leadership in Japan. She wears that band as the Brigade Leader.
>>141734619
Mikuru and Nagato are okay. Haruhi, Kyon and Koizumi look like shit.
>>141737285
Do they actually hate Haruhi? I thought they simply didn't want to animate anymore because it's an unfinished and dead franchise.
>>141736822
>Kyon
>not smug
>>141737499
when is he ever
>>141737474
It's a meme. It's Kadokawa who doesn't give the green light because Tanigawa haven't released a new novel since 2011.
>>141737595
Not even another movie of a single arc after how well the first one went?
>>141734845
I literally can't tell the difference.
>>141735592
Maybe this is the plot of S3. Some new similar looking girl shows up with Haruhi's ribbon in her hair and insists she's Haruhi.
>>141737679
that's because they need a new novel to promote. There's enough material for two cour and a movie but it's how that business work apparently
>>141737499
Exasperated and ironic aren't smug. Haruhi is smug.
>>141737895
Smug girls are best girls. Smug genki girls with some degree of tomboy in them are like triple best girls.
>>141734619
In a way
S2 Haruhi looks worse than Yui and she is not even retarded.
>>141738672
That's just an occasional silly face she makes. I'd say S2 Haruhi looks better in general
>>141738672
Swap P.A. Works with shaft and this would be in descending order of studio quality too.

>jk
Yeah, you may want to kill yourself.
>>141736304
Can't disagree.
>>141739127
I don't think that's the point. I think it's supposed to compare and contrast how similar (or how different) can one anime studio's different TV series' character designs and visuals be. For example, it seems like P.A. Works is very heterogeneous. J.C. Staff and A-1 Pictures have some really different characters who share more or less the same visual characteristics. Shaft's characters look a bit more homogeneous, and most post-2009 KyoAni anime has a buncha Keion faces.
>>141739506
You may want to stop trying so hard.
What are the best releases for Haruhi? How bad is the Blu-ray upscaling?
>>141739713
>>141736073
Leave.
>>141738672
There is a mistake in the P.A. Works one, the girl with the glasses and pale skin isn't a P.A. Works anime.
>>141735021

>>141734225
She used to look like a hamburger before.
>>141743499
That's an interesting point. Why couldn't Kyon be another of her creations? It seems plausible considering that he's the only person she isn't bored to tears by.
>>141734225
They both look good to me, you're just a faggot who's sucked too many dicks to have any discernment.
>>141743499
that hadn't even occurred to me. truly this show is endlessly fun to think about.
>>141734225
I'll gladly take moe blob over early-2000s moe face
>>141734225
Her eyes are a bit too low desu. Looks a little retarded
I don't see as much of a problem with it as others do
Half of my problem with the original "charming" Haruhi look is she looked like a bugfaced ayylmao and I was like "what the fuck do you ugly virgins see in her, she is a bitch too"
>>141734845
This looks great.
>>141734225
Well, she used to look like a shit, so it's definitely an improvement.

>>141743499
It reminds me of the mindfuck in FMP-Arm slaves, the lamba driver, and the rest of black technology aren't actually from the distant future- the information was sent back in time in the current era via a loop involving the whispered. The lambda driver is in fact impossible, and it will never be discovered, but it exists because it has to exist in order for it to have been sent back in time. It becomes apparent that the nature of the universe abruptly changed two decades ago, Chidori loves Sousuke, the end.
Actually considering when everything was written, I wonder if Gatoh and Tanigawa ever inspired each other.
>>141747214
What is it, anon?
>>141747214
I wonder how would Dissociation/Surprise story work in anime form.
>>141747214
What did Haruhi and Kyon do and why can't they speak about it ever again?
>>141747588
They fucked, obviously.
In my fantasy world, this gets an OVA.
>>141734269
Don't talk shit about Nagato, anon.
>>141734845
I don't see the problem here.
>>141747636
No no no, I'm sure they would have mentioned it latter if it went that far.
>>141747938
People always say this, but why? What if they didn't WANT to mention it ever again?
>>141748110
Because I can't imagine any sane man who gets to fuck Haruhi not mentioning it again.
>>141748371
I'm pretty sure Kyon lost his sanity a long time ago. Plus, he might be too terrified of what she would do to him, wittingly or unwittingly, if he ever spoke about it.
>>141748477
I could see that ending very badly for all involved, now that you mention it.
>>141734225
And she used to look like an AIR, why did Kyoani do that?
>>141734225
>preferring bug eyes
>>141734619
Koizumi, Nagato, Asahina, and Shamisen are perfect. Kyon looks nothing like Kyon.
>>141749269
Theoretically of course, the whole Haruhiverse is just a bunch of things waiting to end very badly for all involved. I think the Kyon in one of the doujins aptly summarized it as, "a world build on a sandcastle".
>>141749717
>liking a moeblob

Speaking of Shaft: >>141750965
Oh, by the way, fun fact: the description of "time planes" described in brief in the Haruhiverse bears a passing resemblance to the ADM formalism in general relativity.
>>141734225
8 years later and people STILL fucking bitch about this.

Sounds cute. I'd like to help cactus-chan with our class duties.
>>141744429
Haruhi has always had a nice rack. It's just not monstrous.
>>141735509
You do realize that swaping faces implies changing ALL of them, not just the eyes, right?
>>141751348
But, the eyes are the only distinct trait on either of their faces.
>>141751348
Was getting baited part of your plan?
>>141734845
Holy jesus, why did they do to my Nagato?
She looks like a retard, her head is just a mess.
>>141751317
She's the definition of well proportioned in almost all aspects.
>>141738672
Okay, I have to fucking ask. What the fuck is the deal with JC Staff and A-1 Pictures?
How come Anohana looks exactly like Toradora, and how come Henneko looks exactly like Oreimo?
>>141734845
I think Mikuru and other-not-kyon-male look ok
>>141751317
By Japanese standards, she's actually fairly well-endowed.
Why isn't there anything after Snowy Mountain
>>141735592
Why do people act like there's a default look when it comes to Haruhi? The series has had 2 seasons, 3 spinoffs, and a movie, and each one had it's own look.
>>141734845
>Shouko Ikeda redesigning the cast
S3 SOON
>>141751876
But is that what we really want?
>>141751915
More or less. The designs aren't perfect but they're more than good enough.
>>141752193
Only problem I see is I think Haruhi's face is a little too narrow. Other than that it's great.

>>141736304
Yeah.
>>141751915
I just want another season already, man.
>>141734225
First one has too big a mouth.
Second one has better proportions
>>141751640
Because the LN is the original work and Ito Noizi made the original designs. Even though her style has changed over the years, the first anime did definitely a good job at adapting the design.
>>141753075
I don't want any if it's done by kyoani, those fuckers can't do shit anymore.
>>141752918
Now this actually looks like Clannad's artstyle.
>>141753170
Yeah, I agree. They are so good that it's impossible for them to make shit like Haruhi anymore.
>>141751417
Well she is an alien.
>>141737363
That midriff is out of control
>>141736643
>perfect
Yep
>>141753105
I think the original look is striking.
>>141734845
It seems like they tried to mesh S1 Kyon with S2 Kyon together
>>141755252
It's not, they just slapped Eupho design to Haruhi characters
There are still people who don't know how kyoani keeps costs low and employees well paided and happy.
I mean they don't even outsource any of their animation. Everything is done IN HOUSE.
And it only takes two keystrokes to do all of these things: CTRL+V.
>>141736423
yamada did that episode?
>>141755299
I don't see it. Kyon's hair reminds me a lot of s1s, but the facial structure looks a lot like S2s and S1's mixed. He has a more masculine build just like S1 in comparison to slimjim S2, but his facial structure is similar to that of masculine S1 and prettyboy S2

>>141755299
In all fairness, Haruhi has first dibs on the 'everybody is always glowing' look.
>>141734225
Because the first season was made before KyoAni's sameface era began.
>>141734619
miles better and better artist than the modern kyoani character designer
>>141756228
definitely not
>>141755933
I will never be as much of a man as Kyon is and that makes me sad.
>>141751442
AnoHana and ToraDora had the same character designer. I don't know why you think OreImo looks like Henneko though, since one is a close rendition of the original art style and the other is a simplified-for-animation Kantoku.
I guess the industry as a whole also has it's most prominent style based on what's marketable.
>>141734619

Reminder that nobody wants to see 00 designs in the 10s. Disgusting.
>>141757649
I'm calling bullshit on that.
>>141734845
>We redesigned the entire cast of a loved classic that's never quite been over just for the cover of a CD
For some reason I don't quite buy that.
>>141757910
I told you, all people who worked on pre-K-ON anime like Haruhi, Clannad, etc, leaved KyoAni years ago.
And their current artist/animators aren't so talented, they can only copypast "current iconic" character design.
>>141751507
The Nippon people were extremely short sighted in pursuing androgyny. It left them with a generation of flat chested onaholes.

Not only in Japan.
>>141734845
As a casual fan, the only one who looks noticeably different to me is Haruhi herself. Old Haruhi looked like (and was) a total youknowwhat. But this one looks like you could actually walk up to her and have a decent conversation.
As someone who hated the old art style and pushed back watching it for so long and then finally forced myself to to see what all the hype was about, this style change might be for the better. More people might be drawn to this cuter, more accessible look. Which means more money, which means actually getting a season 3.
Haruhi is evolving. Sometimes it's okay to not be afraid of the future and embrace change, even if where it's going makes you uncomfortable. That's how we grow.

Surprise'stwo worldlineswere one of the most interesting writing moves I've personally read, especially the part wherealpha and beta converge.

what did he mean by this
>>141761443
He means he's going to be 'eating' Haruhi's 'hotpot'.
>>141761821
Well it must be a nice hotpot then
>>141761946
I'd like to eat her hotpot, if you know what I mean.
DEAD FRANCHISE!!

>>141762560
That is the correct reaction.

I think they just got used to drawing male characters when Tamako Market was released, and Free! was in celebration of this. It explains why Kyon looks so weird in Haruhi S2 and K-On! has no male characters above the age of 9.
>>141761443
Why the hell was that movie so good? I don't get it.
>>141762721
I think Free! Was a play for the yaoi market to counterbalance their considerable yuri contribution over the years. Hopefully they get back to the hetro core with Haruhi sooner rather than later.

Seriously though, it's just about the only post-2000 anime film I've seen that even feels justified being a film.
>>141734619
What is this? Harry Potter?
>>141734845
Only Koizumi and Asahina looks like from the 09 version
>>141734845
What the fuck they ruined Kyon
