The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan (長門有希ちゃんの消失 Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu) is a new anime series based off a manga spin-off based off the light novel that everyone knows about due to the 0% chance that someone actually wants to watch this without having seen or read any of the Haruhi series. As such, Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back Haruhi is back but not really.


You already know all this:

Yuki Nagato

everyone's favorite crazyeyes mcstabby :ese:


Mikuru Asahina

Other Characters:
:effort: eh, just imagine the other characters that you already know but drawn worse and/or with more sideburns.


Where to watch: streaming at Funimation, starting 3 days ago.

Nagato was cute as gently caress in the first episode.

Kyon not so much.

First episode was both cute and horribly boring, I might give it another to see which wins out.

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
I am fine with this becoming the Asakura and Tsuruya show.

They're fun and neither of them had any time in the Haruhi seasons. Also they both escaped largely unscathed by the art shift where Nagato and especially Kyon did not.

Kyon's head has definitely changed model to a noticeable extent.

Also, they turned up the -dere on Yuki as far as she could go and dialed back the Dan- just a hair.

It still remains the drag Kyon into hijinks show however

Yeah, I don't see this adaption working very well as an anime. As a manga it was mostly just cutesy flirting between Kyon and Nagato, so if you are expecting Haruhi hijinks, bail out now. This is an adorable show about adorable people doing adorable things and if you can't stomach that, Tsuruya can't save it.

Watch some Haruhi-chan instead. I promise it is better.

Yes, feelings are like ice cream. They are cold, tsun, and eventually melt, dere.

Yan is when it tastes terribly and dan is boring flavor.

I'll never watch this show but this is pretty good joke, even if it does highlight how much worse the animation is compared to actual Haruhi

I can get Yuki falling for Kyon in this, there is something striking about how Kyon looks, can't put my finger on it though.

I dunno if I'll watch this every week, I did like the manga and yes its 100% cutesy people doing cutesy things but I dunno, I still got around 200 chapters of Nisekoi to catch up on so, I just miss Haruhi content so I'll watch it for that.

Maybe if it does well they'll do more Haruhi?

Tip: just close your eyes or look at another part of the screen when Kyon is talking. I got through the episode without completely hating the new model by doing this.




Or just don't watch at all :v:

I like that a lot of the music takes its style cues from the alternate-world music of Disappearance.

Nagato in this new season isn't as dandare as she was in the original, meaning she's not the pilot of the future anymore

I don't really know anything about the greater Haruhi fiction beyond the first season and half of whatever the gently caress the second season was, but I always greatly wished that the super-powers were just complete bullshit that Kyon was embellishing his boring rear end life with. If that's what Disappearance is based around I think I will love this.

My theory is that Kyon is actually the all-powerful one, not Haruhi.
