I was digging through my hard disk when this picture comes up:-


The column to the furthest left are the seiyus of the characters in the anime 涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱 (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu). The five columns in the middle are various versions of the characters drawn by (from left) Eretto, Mizuno Makoto, Tsuganogaku, Ito Noizi and Kyoto Animation.
And as for the last column on the right it’s the spinoff of Suzumiya Haruhi by Japanese Adult Video Studio TMA (Total Media Agency). It is of course a JAV (Japanese Adult Video), titled the Melancholy of Suzumiya Hahiru. TMA is also known for its spinoff of Fate Stay Night (Faith Stay Night), Lucky Star (Kira Star), etc etc. Interestingly, safe-for-all version has also been made (basically leaving out all the NSFW scenes from the video) like this. Now I personally don’t mind Yuri Kousaka cosplaying Haruhi (or in this case acting as Hahiru), she is quite a good looking AV Idol.

Here’s a few screenshots of Yuri Kousaka hairstyle change (just like the one in the anime):-







Now I think she is pretty good looking, BUT the rest of the cast is, sadly UGLY! There are of course better version of this sorta spinoff (read AV) like this one by Ifrit, starring AV actress Yume Kimino and titled The Melancholy of Suzumiya Hiharu.

Yume Kimino even did the opening dance of the anime in this:-
Ifrit is probably the professional in filming this sort of spinoff (read AV) and they even made a few more others featuring the rest of the characters:-
And the compilation:-
But it seems like the new trend in Harushism is gender bending. Don’t understand? Watch the video below:-
Female Kyon? Adore! But I just simply cannot get my head round a tsundere-male-form-haruhi… NOOOOO!
Don’t worry. Haruki is not tsundere. He’s a hot blooded douchebag. =D
Hahaha. But I really like female Kyon, especially with the pony tail. Moe!
