It won't be visible to anybody since MAL's BBcode for sharing images is being homosexual, I'll just leave a link to the image in the top post.

She lost the original 'haruhi series' essence but still looks cute, as expected of best girl. I like it.

I don't think any studio will be able to beat KyoAni's adorable Chara. design but satelight didn't do too bad. I mean, it's good enough that I'll watch it

Not bad. Not bad at all. I for one am quite glad it isn't simply a carbon copy of KyoAni's style.

Oh serious, she looks like something out of Love Live! School Idol Project, is this seriously the new Nagato? I'd much prefer her with grey hair instead of this light purple grape

They made her too 'cute', but still better than Kyo ani's design.

I like both versions of Nagato's character design. They're nicely fitting for their respective characterizations.

These appear so much better than those stale looking designs from the Kyoto Animation adaptation.

RE post #21: Haruhi looks very different here, but everyone else looks good.

I'm hoping this particular artwork is a fluke and Haruhi doesn't look that different in the show. Every other piece of work showing Haruhi looks great, so I think that's that case.

Oh, you think so?
Personally, I like his design here much more.

I agree that Kyon and Haruhi faces look kinda weird in this design.
Even tho this design doesnt appeal to me ill wait till i see the animation maybe its better than Kyoto's one.
Personally i think the change in the design is to easier/faster make more of these in the future.

Man, I don't know if I'll get used to these faces. Haruhi looked pretty cute. Now she looks like a freaking monkey...

Yuki and the rest looks pretty cute, but Haruhi looks way off, and Kyon looks like a little kid... Hoping the animated designs would be better.

Nope. So much nope. Requires less Nagato. Requires more Haruhi. Not disgusting movie universe Haruhi. Regular Haruhi. And Kyon. Koizumi and Asahina can come too.

Looking at haruhi, it kind of reminds me of the sword art online animated style.

I don't like the new style, I prefer the other one, but i guess things have to change

My least favorite visual so far. I've been pretty positive on this adaptation, up to this point. This visual is my first real sign of worry.
