The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 07

After the "camo cricket" incident, Kyon realized that Yuki plays a "behind the scenes" role, making her one of Haruhi's puppeteers whose goals are to ensure Haruhi is fully satisfied and to make sure that order and balance are maintained. Yuki joined the SOS Brigade to monitor Haruhi and prevent her from feeling bored or disappointed because it is generally believed by the Data Overmind that such a drastic event could mean the end of the universe.

Such a heavy responsible for a cute girl, but one Yuki can handle flawlessly! Thanks again to Michelle for sending this in!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi / Zeta Gundam: Nagato Yuki and RX-178 Gundam Mk-II

You can probably tell that's Nagato Yuki from The Menlancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi giving a notice to the Gundam; but that’s just the thing: I have no idea what Gundam model and make that is! And those “03” markings make me think it’s an Eva Unit more than a Gundam.

So I shall be leaving this in the Unknown section while I quietly sit down and wait for my readers to let me know from which series that Gundam is from… please? While I try to figure out how to title this blog entry properly seeing we have a crossover between two series. A very cute one at that. Thanks to again to Miriam for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for identifying the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II from the Zeta series!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 04

As according to the original light novels, Yuki has extremely pale skin, in which Kyon describes to be “white”. Once when Kyon, Haruhi, and Yuki went to the public library, Kyon notices that Yuki has the uncanny ability to walk soundlessly and is puzzled by it. Despite these strange qualities, Yuki has a lot of secret admirers and Taniguchi, one of Kyon’s friends, rates her with an “A-“.

I have to apologize for the lack of updates lately. Well, less than usual. There have been some problems in the real world, but hopefully I can have better time management now. Thanks to Jullian for sending this photo from Winter Comiket!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 05

Although very little is revealed about Haruhi’s childhood, she mentioned a revelatory incident when she attended a baseball game with her family. While she regarded her life as special as a child, the sheer number of people in the stadium brings her to the realization that they fit into the normal, everyday occurrences and habits of Japanese citizens and humans in general. Haruhi believes that at least one person in the world would have a truly unique and interesting life, and she searched for the extraordinary in order to become that person.

Stunning cosplay by Mizuno Shiro! I really like this outfit for Haruhi, although I have no idea whether this actually appeared in the series or not. I know there’s a figure though… Thanks again to Yuna for sending this!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 05

SOS Brigade's "indispensible silent character”, Nagato Yuki was included into the Brigade when Haruhi arrived in the room and declared it as her own. Similar to Koizumi Itsuki, Yuki is obedient when orders are given, but it is noted that her loyalties lie more with Kyon rather than Haruhi. She is also very protective of Kyon, as evident when she used her body to shield him from Asakura Ryoko’s attack.

Beautiful and daring cosplay! Though I don’t remember Yuki actually wearing a bunny outfit in the anime. I thought it was only Haruhi and Mikuru. Thanks to Padme for sending this in!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 03

The quiet, taciturn bibliophile of Suzumiya Haruhi's SOS brigade, Yuki is an artificial human created by the Integrated Data Entity who is sent to observe and prevent Haruhi's godlike powers. She hardly ever says anything, but whenever she does, it usually lacks emotion. Yuki is a rational thinker and finds it hard to communicate with other humans due to her intelligence and lack of empathy.

Another pretty cosplayer from this year's Comiket! Again, if anyone knows who the photographer or cosplayer is, please let me know so I can properly credit them. Thank you so much for your contributions!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 04

The eccentric and unpredictable heroine of the series, Suzumiya Haruhi does not care for any of the "normal" human beings in the world and only has interests in the paranormal; particularly aliens, espers, and time travelers.

What she doesn't know is that the people she is closely associated with are not normal at all. Nagato Yuki, for example, is an alien, while Asahina Mikuru, is a time traveler. They are all closely watching over her as she has the ability to create parallel universes known as Closed Spaces and create transparent creatures known as Titans that can destroy everything it comes in contact with.

Although her hair is a little long, she makes a very convincing Haruhi. Although she could also be Mikuru wearing Haruhi's headband? Thanks to Deb Aoki for sharing this awesome picture!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 02

Nagato Yuki is no ordinary first year high school student. At first, she is thought to have been an alien from another planet, since Haruhi classifies the 3 types of supernatural beings she wishes to meet as "Aliens", "Espers", and "Time Travelers". As the novel progresses, however, it is revealed that Yuki is an artificial human created by the Integrated Data Entity to investigate Suzumiya Haruhi.

Yuki has the ability to change her surroundings as she sees fit. She also deters any force that wishes to make Haruhi release her true powers in order to keep the universe from falling into nothingness.

Beautiful Yuki! I really love how the cosplayer portrayed her. How do you think she fairs against the first Yuki cosplayer?

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Asahina Mikuru

Considered to be one of the most beautiful students in North high, Asahina Mikuru is very shy and easily flustered, especially by her SOS Brigade president, Suzumiya Haruhi.

Unlike Yuki and Haruhi, she has no athletic ability, but she does make excellent tea and was thereby elected by Haruhi to be the club’s waitress. Unbeknownst to Haruhi, however, Mikuru is actually a time traveler, one of the "strange beings" Haruhi longs to meet, yet has no idea about the people surrounding her.

She makes a really cute Mikuru. She has the cute, innocent look about her, and I really adore her pose. Excellent work!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 03

I should remind myself to check my emails more often.

I received this picture from §oL some time ago, and it got buried under all the requests. I only got to feature this now, sadly.

Isn’t she such a cute Haruhi? She’s definitely among the Chibi Category, and a young professional I’d say.

Thanks for the email, §oL! You can find two other Haruhi cosplayers here and here. Enjoy!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 02

Suzumiya Haruhi in her cheerleading outfit. I think I like this better than the first one. I can’t remember if she did have a cheerleading episode anymore… It’s been a while since I saw this series.

I’ve heard there a second season of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. I wonder if they’re going to juggle the episodes again like they did the first season? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki

The alien who was recruited in the S.O.S. Brigade, Nagato Yuki is an expert in electronic equipment and can practically do anything Haruhi asks her to do.

Take for example that one episode… Haruhi needed someone to play lead guitar in a school presentation as she sings an original song made by their upperclassmen. She took one look at the notes, picked up the guitar, and played like she’s practiced long and hard for that day. Amazing isn’t it?

Nagato isn’t wearing their usual school uniform here because this was the episode where they had to play a game against the computer club. Something like a battleship game…

Cute cosplayer isn’t she? She really has that Nagato blank stare… It’s quite captivating.

Prisoners Dancing to Haruhi-ism

Remember that time I posted a World-Wide version of the Haruhi Dance? Well, now the Philippines is in the spotlight. The very same prison that brought you Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the Algorithm March give you… Haruhi-ism!

This is apparently just practice… Should be interesting to see if they perform this seriously.

This is making me think I’m missing something for giving up on the anime… I need to try and find time to watch it again.

Article found from Kotaku and Dark Diamond.

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi World-Wide Dance Group

Apparently, the world loves the S.O.S. Brigade more than I thought. The video clip shows a world wide variety of people who memorized the dance of the ending theme in The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.

I found it hard to take in (the anime series) and dropped the series after 5 or so episodes. Apparently, I may have to give this series another chance, as it has taken the world by storm. I’d hate to be left out once it does take over the world, would you?

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi

Another redundant title, same with my Inuyasha entry… I find it rather amusing that the titles of the anime are the same with the character’s… Makes me wonder if they had a hard time thinking about a proper title or something…

Not that I’m complaining of course..!

I suppose the only critique I can give about this photo is… her smile… It looks a bit forced, but I’m guessing it’s because of the unnatural pose/look..?

*look in the mirror trying to smile and wink at the same time without distorting any facial muscles*

Yeah, it’s possible alright, but extremely hard to look natural. But the risky pose is worth it; I think she really captured Haruhi’s feisty nature… She looks like she’s up to something again… I wonder it’s aliens? Hm…
