PROS:
+ fluffy alternate universe (AU) for more SOS shenanigans
+ references to the main series...
+ everyone's in character...
NEUTRAL:
~ aimed at Yuki/Kyon shippers...
CONS:
- ... feel half-baked in this AU - ... except for Nagato
- ... but even they will find it disappointing
- main pairing feels awkward and forced
- Koizumi and Asahina get shafted
MIXED FEELINGS
The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan is a logical watch for Haruhi fans, but is it good? Not really. The show has a strong start as it rattles off the usual slice of life/comedy tropes (Valentine's Day, hot springs, etc), fanservice galore, but it quickly devolves into a snoozeworthy mini-arc that documents... well, the "disappearance" of Nagato. The real disappearance of Nagato is what happened to her character when writ…

This anime is the perfect example of "don't watch or drop an anime based on the review"
I don't usually write a review (especially an anime from 2015). But there's too many people that seems to misunderstood this anime. This is NOT a haruhi season 3 (and there will be probably none)
Sure the first episode feels like a really generic moeblob romcom.
But there's a 3 certain episode that really good that it should be on the main series. Also the change in the ending on those 3 episode is really a jpb welldone.
Overall, this is the type of anime that i don't even expect to gave me any feels, but it does.
but hey, people have difference taste though.

The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan.
Fuck this show. I hate it from the bottom of my heart. It was a disappointment in every regard.
I'm not going to pretend like the original series was a masterpiece, because it isn't. But it was entertaining and charming (exept for Haruhi being a bully sometimes)
Everything that made the original series fun is missing here.
I find Nagato the most interesting in the original series. She's so mysterious and kicks ass when it needs to be kicked. Her usual self and the version in the alternatetimeline of the movie are both endearing. So when i heard that a Spin-off with Nagato as the central character was coming up, I was soooo hyped. Exept for the movie, Nagato didn't get much screentime which i found particularly unfourtunate.
When i heard it was go…

The absurdity of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya franchise is without a doubt it's most endearing quality. The use of outlandish and bizarre science-fiction characters to create what an ultimately rather mundane high school comedy has a rather cunning, almost satirical bent to it which has allowed the series to endure far longer than most other work in the genre. But more than just being funny, the set-up also provides the opportunity to explore more philosophical matters from time to time.
In Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu, or "The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato" in English the balance between the mundane and the philosophical is tipped slightly in the former's favour. That's not to say the science fiction elements are absent completely, but it's far more like a traditional high school h…

I had some serious mixed feelings about the disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan after re-watching the series, I decided to do yet another review. To begin, for starters and obviously, the show itself was unique. To see the Yuki I knew from the OG series turn into a klutzy, nervous wreck was a bit strange and somewhat amusing. What I did not like about that though is she reminded me too much of Mikuru. This was something I noticed a lot by Nagato's action while re-watching. It was like having a second slightly more annoying yet tolerable Mikuru around and it just didn't appeal to me. Something else that bothered me a little was that there were too many characters used in this show. It took away some of my focus on Yuki for the most part along with her development as the main character. This o…

If you've watched the Haruhi Suzumiya series, I'm pretty sure, that at least once you asked yourself the question, "What if?" If you haven't watched it, stop reading this, there are spoilers in this, or go ahead, I don't care!
Many people will tell you what their fanficton-material stories would be, and somewhere you'll find someone asking, "What if Haruhi wasn't a god, and what if nobody had their powers?" And while I could just take that one scene from the Disappearance movie, and type out a thesis on Kyon's amazing monologue, I'll just throw this in your face: The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan...
It is a spin-off series that perfectly answers the above question. But before you jump off of your seat and start looking for the anime on the Internet, (yes, I'm talking to you, avid fans…

(This has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
In the school of thought, there are two areas that are often compared and contrasted: the conscious and the subconscious. The former is what we are aware of, the actions we take that we knowingly carry out, whereas the latter is what happens “without our knowledge,” the actions we take that we unknowingly carry out. We often say that “I subconsciously did this” in response to doing something that we are unable to explain. But what is interesting is that we accept this “hidden” part of ourselves. That is, despite having a main and understood self, we still believe there is a second, similar self within us. The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan is connected to this notion of two selves, generating an anime that somewhat sub…

What do you get when you take away the S.O.S Brigade? The "Godly" Haruhi Suzumiya? The espers, the time travelers and Yuki the alien? Well, you get this... A pile of horsesh*t. To be honest though, I did enjoy the show quite a bit but not as much as the Haruhi series.
[Story]: (4/10)
Yuki Nagato, the shy president of the literature club, has never been very sure of herself around other people. But around Kyon, the only boy in the tiny, three-person club, Yuki finds herself faltering even more than usual. For Kyon, and for her precious club, Yuki must find her confidence and let her true personality shine!
When I found out there was a spin off to the Haruhi series called "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan"..Man, was I hyped. I mean, the movie came out 5 years ago with no sight of…

For those who have never taken the time or have not been with anime long enough to have given the parent series of Yuki-chan a thorough viewing then what you are provided with when watching this series is a story of comical romance surrounding the the character of Yuki Nagato, hence the name. However is you are approaching this series because you are indeed a fan of the parent series then what you get is just a little bit more from the characters that you have likely come to love. Both are particularly good reasons to give the show a chance, even if this particular spin-off can be somewhat misleading with what the parent series actually provides. I present this review of Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu (The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato-chan) so you can decide if this show is for you.

After hearing that the Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan Manga will be turned into an anime, I was very excited to say the least. After the last episode aired, I watched the whole anime over the course of the weekend - After initially having somewhat mixed feelings, especially because of the art, I ended up enjoying the series as a whole. Please note that this is my first review, so it will most likely be far from perfect.
Story:
Satelight took the first five volumes of this spinoff-manga (which is set in the alternate universe established in "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya") as work material. It is basically about "how would everything look like if Kyon chose differently" - Which is a world without any aliens, time travelers, ESPs and the SOS Brigade. The story mainly revolves arou…

Its amazing how slight changes in perspective can cause something that on the surface seemed initially disjointed and disappointing, into an emotional experience that brings a surprising amount of satisfaction.
Like most, I went into the series expecting the enjoyably discordant storyline, animation, and voice acting that the original series and movie had. I was consequently confused by Kyon's noticeably different appearance and a number of other slight visual changes that I shamefully explained away by learning the original studio hadn't worked on it. The first few episodes made it abundantly clear that it was not "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", and finding that out annoyed me immensely.
However, as I continued to watch the series, I began to recollect parts of the "The Disappear…

While I've never been much of a fan of the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise, I can still say, at the very least, that I admired the off-kilter charm it had and understood the appeal that others would find in its self-aware meta-humor. It was quirky, upbeat and had a trademark style of doing things that were uniquely its own. By itself, that might not seem like much of an accomplishment, but when placed through a filter with the countless other school slice-of-life titles produced after its inception, it becomes more apparent why it gained its popularity. Despite the anime industry being saturated with these dime-a-dozen titles every year, the Haruhi franchise still manages to stay relevant by being one of the few to tinker with the formula in inventive ways. And like most things tend to, it had i…

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, an anime that when it was aired, has regard to be one of the most well known anime since its release on account of its overall wackiness and parodying of everything, it's odd set of characters including a time traveling moe girl, a kuudere alien, and an esper, and the one character to bring it all together, Haruhi, the hyperactive god character. So, with Satelight taking over the Haruhi franchise by producing us this spin-off, what are we as the audience to expect?
Story (6.22/10): The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki, contrary to the rest of the Haruhi series, is very different in its setting. Taking place in the Disappearance world of the Haruhi universe, where Haruhi and Koizumi go to a different school, Asakura isn't a homicidal alien, and Nagato is a mo…

The spring 2015 anime Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu also known as the disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan this is the 2nd just not appealing boring anime ive seen in the spring season next to triage x but at least triage had the fan service going for it.
Story- You can read the synopsis on it but to sum it up anime wise a shy girl named Nagato Yuki is the president of a club consisting of 3 members herself and a male and female who basically do club activities and stuff along those lines and also the love story that is on going throughout the series of Nagato having a crush on the male member of her club before the expansion of more members. the name doesn't fit the series until about episode 10 or 11 when the dramatic scene actually happens the "disappearance" part but to be honest the st…

As a fan of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I won't hesitate to watch or read (or at least plan to) anything related to that series. Of course, that includes this spin-off, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan. I read a few volumes of the manga and loved it, so when this anime was announced, my excitement was only doubled! However, I admit that I also had my concerns, as Kyoto Animation, the studio that worked on the original anime, didn't work on the spin-off. As it aired, I found that it wasn't received that well, either. However, that doesn't change the fact that I still really enjoyed The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan.
Okay, so does anyone remember The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya? This anime takes place in the alternate world from that movie, where everything is normal an…

I'm honestly not against spin-off series, after all my lovely Illya Prisma is just a spin-off of Fate, and so I wasn't against a spin-off focusing on Nagato either. After all practically everyone loved Nagato in the original, almost as much as they hated Haruhi (aka a lot). There are just 2 major problems. 1)The audience came to sympathise with the tortured lonely Nagato of Haruhi's universe, remaking her into a girl whose only characteristic is being clumsy was stupid to begin with. 2)Haruhi didn't have a "just bad" response from the audiences, she practically got kicked out of her own show and the movie had no relation to her other than the name. So tell me dear animators, WHY does the b£$%& with Lucy's voice need to come back?! I thought it was clear by now, we HATE her. And of course u…

I don’t envy anyone who sits down and tries to come up with a spin-off story. Picture it: Here you are with a bunch of fun, memorable characters who each have a purpose but you want to change those around to create something new. If that wasn’t hard enough already, strip away one of the major genres that underpinned the original. Hand someone some paper and a pen and tell them to come up with something new with that added rule. It would certainly leave them scratching their head for a while. I’ve found the anime that shows why that’s not a simple task.
Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu is an attempted creation along that line, a romantic comedy created from the Suzumiya Haruhi series, with studio Satelight putting it to screen. In place of the supernatural we have a focus on romance. In pla…

SPOILERS AHEAD
If you're a person like me who shipped Kyon and Yuki since The Disappearance movie (it's even in my nickname), then don't expect that much from this adaption, because you will only get a pretty cliché romcom. Why? Well, it has everything that would define something like it: ruined love confessions (check), misunderstandings (check), fluffy scenes between the main characters (check), an ending that doesn't round up anything thanks to some freaking fireworks (check).
I expected a good resolution from this, something that would only be read or seen in fanfictions, something that would make my "dreams come true", but the series took the easy way, wasting 13 episodes with absolutely nothing and 3 amazing ones to end with a "you didn't hear what I said because of the fireworks,…

If you come into The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan with expectations that this will be on the level of the original Haruhi series, you will be in for severe disappointment. To watch this anime, you must be a fan of the Haruhi Suzumiya universe, but you must also leave any such expectations at the door. When you do that, then, and only then, will you be able to enjoy this anime. Somewhat. Sometimes. Maybe?
Nagato Yuki-chan is essentially a “what-if” story. What if, in Disappearance, that world became canon? Or, better to say, what-if the world from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya was the true world? How would things be different? While the titular Yuki Nagato was more fragile in the movie, the anime draws upon that material (as well as Nagato playing games from The Melancholy of H…

It’s like something born out of a fairy tale story. Nagato Yuki-Chan no Shoushitsu (The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) is no Haruhi Season 3. In fact, it’s more a spinoff taking place in an alternate universe where aliens don’t exist, Kyon seems normal, and Nagato Yuki is almost nothing like what fans remember her from the original series. As far that goes, this spinoff is more or less of a slice of life story that mixes in elements of drama, romance, and some SOS shenanigans.
Based on the manga of the same name, the series consists of 16 episodes that depicts the life of Nagato Yuki. Unlike the stoic girl that many fans remember her as, she is rather timid and shows much more human emotions than her Haruhi counterpart. Make no mistake though, she still retains some characteristics s…
