Let us compare the way the characters from Haruhi look across the various different medias that have appeared so far.
From the left to right:
Cancelled manga, current manga, novel illustrations, anime, cosplay porn movie
For once I think the anime has the best art of them all. The original cancelled manga has horrible art that looks nothing similar to the rest of the images. The current manga art is fairly similar to the novel illustration art. The haruhi and Yuki in the cosplay porn looks passable if not somewhat old but the other characters are a horrific travesty.
p/s Sorry, Alkan, but this is an hijacking from Impz because he found such a uber cute website….The tsuruya is way too cute T_T

of course, anime has to get the best art…IT’S KYOTO ANIMATION
=O Wow wow wow @_@;;;
And the website with all the chibis are so so so so so so so so so so so so so so cute! A waste it’s all copyrighted T_T
You’ve just proven further that Kunikida gets no love, ya know that?
UGH. ITSUKI LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE AN ALIEN IN THE PORN FILM. I like the novel art for everyone except Kyon.
…Look at that…is that supposed to be Kyon…and Itsuki?
I think Yuki got the worst deal of all. Itsuki and Ryouko are the only ones that look decent in the original manga.
Well you know you’re not supposed to look at the faces of the guys in porn hahaha
How can anyone not like Noizi Ito’s illustration of SHnY more than the anime itself?
Because Noizi Itoh’s illustration sucks?
lol, mikuru totally doesn’t look like mikuru in the cancelled manga. looks more like some cheerleader or some sorts.
I want bunny suit mikuru!!!
i thought the illustration and the anime both have their merits ^+^;;;
The art of the cancelled manga looks like it was drawn about a decade ago
Anime and novel illustrations (Noizi Ito is godly) are top-notch here with the current manga designs coming in second.
ROFL @ the porn movie stuff. Horrible stuff man. XD
Wahaha jw~ I like the anime and novel illustrations~ But the zell?!?! Porn movie? EGADS they look horrible DX
Yeah the novel illustrations are not bad; they have a rather soft look to them and are quite similar to the anime.
I don’t understand the lack of love for the movie. It’s clearly the superior version. And could Itsuki BE more bishounen? I think not.
Sarcasm aside, interesting comparisons. In some cases there’s almost a linear progression of refinement to the anime versions – to my uneducated eye anyway.
the novel illustrations and the anime are both good, and the current manga is close enough… but really, both extremes of the images (first manga and movie) *shudder*
nice
may i take a pic???:)
Novel illustration Ryouko is win o_o
