Haruhi-chan: Difference between revisions

''The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan'' (''Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yūutsu'') and ''[[Nyoron Churuya-san]]'' are two gag manga spinoffs of ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', animated and broadcast on [[YouTube]] as three to five-minute shorts. Though famous for "trolling" on their fanbase as of late, Kyoto Animation was rumored to produce this series' as a way to pacify the fans for waiting 3 years for an actual 2nd Season of ''Haruhi''!

Both series have now reached their conclusions, with Haruhi-chan 25 and Nyoro~n 13 being the last episodes. Both are available on [http://www.crunchyroll.com/the-melancholy-of-haruhi-suzumiya Crunchyroll], along with the regular [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]] episodes.

'''''The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-chan''''' takes the characters and situations from ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', [[Chibi|chibifies]] them, and turns the madness and comedy up to eleven while adding copious amounts of [[Rule of Cute|High-Octane Cute]].

** Yuki Nagato sings "[[Ga Rei Zero|Paradise Lost]]" by Minori Chihara at the end of Episode 6. She also plays Kagura Tsuchimuya in that series.

* [[Anachronic Order]] - Just like with [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|the anime]]'s first run and the [[Light Novels]], the ''Haruhi-chan'' shorts are arranged differently than the manga.

* [[Blue With Shock]]

** Koizumi has stopped being ''remotely'' subtle in his [[Shipper On Deck]] activities, taking every opportunity to try to convince Kyon to couple up with Haruhi. Kyon's having none of it, although in volume 4 he's able to force Kyon and Haruhi to go on a scripted date together as a penalty game. {{spoiler|They nearly die.}}

* [[Depending On the Writer]] - Deliberately exaggerated with Yuki, [[Gamer Chick|who]] [[Otaku Surrogate|doesn't]] [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|just]] [[Covert Pervert|read]] [[Yaoi Fangirl|books]] in this series.

* [[Drives Like Crazy]] - Arakawa. With how that car was spinning he's even worse than [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Yukari-sensei]].

* [[The End of the World As We Know It]]

*Haruhi [http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk318/Anime_Fan_Otaku/Haruhi_feelings_shattered.jpg faints, dark aura appearing,] [[Divide By Zero|reality starts to crack]]* }}

* [[Everything's Better With Spinning]] - Yuki spins Achakura [[Memetic Mutation|right round]] in episodes 6 and 8.

* [[Everything's Worse With Bears]] - Inverted. Tsuruya claims she once defeated a bear.

* [[I'm Taking Her Home With Me]] - What Yuki does with Achakura. Although she doesn't do it because Achakura is cute, but rather so she can keep an eye on her.

* [[Info Dump]] - Parodied. When Yuki was describing a particularly nasty [[Sealed Evil in A Can]], everyone else promptly announced that the explanation was too long and they couldn't understand it.

* [[The Rival]] - Tsuruya vs Mori. This reaches ''[[Dragonball]]'' levels.

** Kyon shouting "Hikari ni naru~" (see [[Disappears Into Light]]) is a direct [[Shout-Out]] to [[Gao Gai Gar]].

** One of the lines in the intro is [[Dragonball|KA-ME-HA-ME-HA]]!

** The fighting game that Nagato offers to play with Kyon is [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]] with all the characters as cute girls

* [[Spit Take]] - Kyon's understandable reaction to finding out [[H Game|what Yuki was doing on her laptop.]]

** And from the same episode - ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''-style ''doodling''.

* [[X Meets Y]] - ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' meets ''[[Lucky Star]]''.

'''''[[Nyoron Churuya-san]]''''' follows the adventures of Tsuruya's super deformed counterpart Churuya as she quests for smoked cheese, [[Failure Is the Only Option|almost always unsuccessfully.]] Also featured is Ashakura, Ryoko's counterpart with a [[Stalker With a Crush|massive, but ultimately doomed crush]] on Kyon.

* [[Stalker With a Crush]] - Ashakura towards Kyon.

* [[Throw the Dog A Bone]]
