I still need time to adjust around Asakura.

She scares me, especially when her eyes go missing or when she emits her evil aura... and holding a freaking knife!!!

My heart stopped when she suddenly went to grab Kyon's face. Reminded me of the original, lol.
I think the studio or the original did this on purpose. It is to remind us that Asakura is actually not the person you think she is....

I expect more of those reminiscing scenes from the original that doesn't really end up really bad for Kyon since this is a spinoff xDD

It was alright. All the characters seems lovable and funny and I'm already getting used to the new art style.

I'm curious how and when Haruhi will appear and interact with the characters in this series.

Not bad. I thought the art was going to look really bad, but it kinda looks ok. Not as good as before, but I don't think it'll bother me at all.

Kinda cool to see Nagato look this cute. She's much more likeable than her super robotic self now. Not sure if the plot will get anywhere, but I guess we'll see.

It's gonna take me a while to get used to the new character designs. The only ones I can dig so far are Mikuru's and Tsuruya's.

That being said; Ganbare, Yuki!

Still don't like the art. But it was enjoyable. If I wasn't a huge Haruhi fan. It would have been a subpar episode.

Since kyoAni isn't doing this, it's expected the art has changed. (something that I wasn't bothered about at all)

It wasn't great, but I found this really enjoyable anyways

The episode was cute and I didn't dislike watching it, but it was very weird to watch. I kept expecting there to be a shift from the "cute fluff" aura to more dramatic stuff like from the movie.

If this was a series with new characters and the same story, I think I could get into it, but it's so weird to take the TMOHS characters out of setting. I don't know if I will be able to get into it. I will probably at least keep watching until Haruhi's character shows up, anyway.

This show is so boring without Haruhi... What the hell happened with Nagato?! Is it one of the alternative dimensions made by her? Her personality is so meh, no charm at all. And the new character visuals really suck! For the first time I need to give credit to KyoAni! Two more episodes before I drop it.

I still don't know how to feel about this.

It was strange to see such a different art after all those years. Still wish KyoAni would have handled this.

I didn't really like Yuki before, but her new personnality is really the kind I find annoying, hopefully Tsuruya & Ryouko are here, and of course Kyon.
Actually Kyon's voice & lines giving life to the writing of Nagaru Tanigawa is what kept me until the end of this episode.

Still missing Haruhi, but well.. I just hope this will not be some slow paced romance lovey dovey show, lets's hope for the best.

Well, that wasn't so bad. I'm not a LN person, so I was expecting to hate it, but I quite enjoyed this first episode. If it keeps up for 2 more then this will be a keeper. Nagato's voice is really annoying though.

Most of the antics were pretty funny, lol "It was erotic,nice childbearing belly"

This is just regular Haruhi but with Haruhi replaced with some lovey-dovey infantilized moe-chick. Whoopie

That book scene at the end with Yuki and Kyon reminds me on how Haruka fell in love with Takayuki in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien/Rumbling Hearts. :]

I'd say I prefer Yuki's KyoAni's character design than Statelight's. But I guess Statelight's design complements her personality in this spin-off.

Nothing too exciting this Ep. But probably later with this "Disappearance" thing. Anyway looking forward to what this spin-off has to show

That god awful lighting and character design that makes them look like a bunch of Capuchins (especially Haruhi and Kyon), hurts my eyes. Still, I did like episode. The usual slow pacing and atmosphere was still there. Just wish KyoAni had produced this one too. And I hope we don't get an annoying love triangle with Haruhi and Nagato fighting for Kyon.

Hmm, hopefully it gets better than this. First off, Kyon looks awful and it gets very distracting whenever he's in a scene. I didn't like Yuki's new character, the shyness/moe feels so forced.

Even though I loved the first Haruhi season I couldn't get myself to enjoy this episode.

So this is the spin-off of what would have happened if Kyon accepted the world Nagato created right? I'm not sure about this... That would mean the show is taking place in a normal world with no weird Haruhi-esque paranormal things happening. I really hope this will be more than a generic slice of life/romance anime with nothing really happening at all.

Didn't really like the character designs, but maybe they'll grow on me over the season.

Also, was never much a fan of Yuki, but I have always liked this version of Haruhi.

Who knows, maybe Yuki'll grow on me too.

So different from Haruhi series, but I dig it so far! So nice to see the familiar faces we all love <3

Loving the new emotional Yuki-chan, she makes the most adorable facial expressions ever! Sugita's deep Kyon voice feels so funny with Kyon's new kawaii character design. I also like the new non-yandere Asakura, she is quite cute. Mikuru, and Tsuruya are as cute as they've always been.

Relaxing and fun first episode, I'm liking it so far. Although they play lesser roles, I hope Haruhi and Koizumi get some screen time in the future.

Man. I knew this was a spin-off, and I knew they would be altering a lot of character settings, but Nagato's change was too much for me. They tried so hard to dump "moe" characteristics on her, and it was, well, counter-effective. Sitting through 20 minutes of this was a pain. Pretty sad since I was quite a fan of the original series.

I would instantly drop, but I will wait for Haruhi and Koizumi to make an appearance. Then drop. Derp.

That was a nice first episode, though the art and Japanese VAs are going to take a while for me to get used to. That aside, it was odd that the episode didn't have the OP but had the ED (although the ED was quite nice). I don't think I've seen an episode without the OP but with the ED before this one.

While watching I said out loud multiple times. "What the hell is this." They should've kept the original character designs, Im very dissappointed so far, I wont drop it cause im a fan though. Hopefully we get a good story at least.

I greatly dislike the new character designs. They're so different, even the seiyuu don't seem to fit anymore. That's quite the problem for me, as I only watch this for Nagato and she does feel strange to me like that, like a different person.

Aside from that it's okay. The humor is nice, the romance is cute, the characters are likeable. I also really enjoyed the soundtrack. Kato Tatsuya may be far away from the pure brilliance of Kosaki Satoru, but every track was soothing in some way and using the Pavane pour une infant defunte, my favourite piece of music ever, as opening track was a great choice

Eh... Nagato has always been my least favourite, but in the original she was at least somewhat interesting. This was very weird to watch, like some bad fanfic or I don't know, but I couldn't finish the episode.

I'm still not used to this...
It feels like a rip-off with everything stolen from KyoAni.
The clothes, the voices, the scenery (like the whole school), the jokes (belly fetish), opening humming
Are they even allowed to do that? A lot of work went into all that stuff and they just take it...
Well whatever...I'm going to see this through to the end for my waifu Nagato.

Wow, this Nagato is SO ANNOYING. She's turning into that level of blushy dithering idiot that I can't stand. How does she function on a daily basis when anything that happens just makes her make stupid "weeeeeh" noises and throw her arms around like a tomato that's been thrust into life and doesn't know how to deal with it because it can only manage to grow in a straight line without outside interference in normal situations?

Also the thing that made the show good was Haruhi... and the thing that made the movie good was plot, tense drama, and Asakura stabbing the shit out of Kyon. Obvious we ain't gonna get any of those things, 'cept some minor Haruhi cameos probably judging by the ED. Laaaame. Dunno why you'd take a show, remove everything good from it, and make the characters plain archetypes instead of using the stuff that worked in the original show/movie to make a new show that also works.

Also I plain don't like the art. Nagato and Kyon look the worst out of everyone in this style by far, which is unfortunate considering they're the two mains. Asakura's the only person I think it rly suits so far, but I still prefer her KyoAni long hair.

I can't be really sure since I haven't read the manga for this but I can tell this is not that universe. The Nagato there is more timid and vulnerable and cute. At least that Nagato is charming.. not this piece of whatever it is.
