The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]
 

What would you think if Kyon became a girl with tremendous moe appeal? If Haruhi became a man that defines new pinnacle of hotbloodedness? And what about the other characters of this already legendary story? Interested? Then please read on.

This thread is for the discussion of the fan project entitled “The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya”, where we will be attempting to reconstruct the series as if Haruhi was a boy, Kyon was a girl, and everyone else’s genders have also been turned topsy-turvy.

We are constantly looking for people's help with this project. Feel free to jump in at any time. You will be welcomed with open arms.

Please continue to adhere to the forum’s posting rules while participating in this discussion.

As of 3/28/08 please post any genderbending related images to the The Genderbending Images of Haruhi Suzumiya thread. ~Manju

SPOILER WARNING: Be warned of spoilers ahead. As this project is a rewrite of the original Suzumiya Haruhi novels, there will be discussion of story events from the series that may not have been shown in animated form.

Gaaaaaaah!

Why is Girl-Kyon so insanely moe?

WHY?

And suddenly I approve of Itsuki gaying on Kyon :p

Incidentally, I think Itsuki would be much better received if he were a she.

Rikitmasu > What is that XD it's so funny XD

@rikimatsu's pics

my goodness!
male mikuru looks like a trap of some sort...

Yuki looks weird but the ones where "he" catches the knife is cool!

kyon is... crap! too moe!
itsuki... i like this version than the original...

taniguchi!? O_o

matta ne~

^ Kyon's delicious flat chest is too irresistible for Itsuki to ignore.

A female Kyon is very fine. And of course ponytails are moe.

OHH YEAAAHHH Ponytails RLZ!!!! XD

Something just came to me... About that gender swapping pic, the president of the computer club would be female too, right? Now imagine in Day of Sagitarius, male Haruhi performs a flying kick into the president's head... Not that I have anything against boys hitting girls, but it just looks wrong...

Maybe Female-Kyon delivers the kick instead.

It could work. Half of the scenarios are swapped for gender consistency, while some are retained for the old humor.

Someone should so totally redo the entire second episode, like they did with Eva's first episode.

Mind sparing me details about this?

Heh, a male Haruhi would be like Kamina, except in denial about his feelings w/ regards to Kyonette.

The Genderbending of Suzumiya Haruhi, continued in 4koma form!

Shamelessly stolen from here:

The LOLWUT Of Suzumiya Haruhi

I consider this the BEST IDEA EVER.

I'm glad you agree.

:heh: :heh: :heh:

ROTFL! OMG thats too funny

Lol. That's is probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

That picture of Kyon and Itsuki in the baseball scene w/ the gender bender is hot.

the genderbender pics arent an idea i dont like too much but the pic that teresa/claire posted 2 pages back wasnt done that badly. took a second to figure out who it was in the pic.

You know, Haruhi would never be as popular like it is today if the gender swap is real... One should agree that one of the main reasons that it is successful is because it has lots of cute and beautiful girls.

Kyon-ko and Itsuko are cute and beautiful too...

But I agree with you. One of the reasons this is so awesome is because we have an already established idea of the way the characters SHOULD be.

Simply brilliant. Most of the character description and seiyuu suggestion by that guy are right on the spot, though I would imagine Kyon-ko to be more of a girl with a cynical attitude to life, like Chiaki in Minami-ke, who if you are aware is voiced by Chihara Minori. Fancy having Minorin in both the gender-proper and gender-bending versions? :cool:

Minorin's Chiaki voice would work too, and I think she could handle the tsundere transitions if she's given enough time to work on it.

Plus it's an excuse to get her to sing the OP. :D

We might want a separate thread for "The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya" soon enough. :heh:

I'm actually thinking about rewriting the first novel with this idea in mind...

Legendary fan-project? Let's get us our own thread. :heh:

We've derailed this topic too much already.

Maybe we should request one in the new threads topic...

great idea...
but we need to change a lot of things...
i mean... simple things like...
if the computer president is a girl, then you can't use the same blackmail as haruhi did.

but first... a thread of our own

* Neo- refers to reversed gender.

Given Haruhi's lack of inhabitation, and her general "cluelessness" of gender sensibilities in the first novels, it is not far-fetched to have her counterpart be unwittingly "cruel" to girls, not because Neo-Haruhi is a MCP, but because he really sees equality in all genders.

Neo-Haruhi flying-kicks the CSP: "Woo-ha!"
CSP: "Nani!"
Neo-Kyon: "You kicked a girl?!?!"
Neo-Haruhi: "I kicked the threat to our brigade! *glances at cowering CSP* Oh, it's just you."
Neo-Kyon: "Is that all you got to say?!?!"

So long as we realise that we are doing a parody on a what-if situation, we should be more than capable enough of laughing at the resulting absurd situations that will occur.

As for the blackmail scenario, it can still be a case of "molestation", as Neo-Mikuru is meek enough for this to be a plausible explanation. The difference is in the implication. For guys, it implies forcing themselves on a girl. For girls, it implies that they are being slutty and whorish.

Cheers.

I wholeheartedly approve of such an endevour. Endevoaour. Whatever.

The male Mikuru is moe~:love:

And ItsukoXKyouko FTW!

Someone should make a picture of what the computer president looks like as a girl and her getting kicks. Hehe...

The male Haruhi reminds me of Marth (from fire emblem) with that hairband. Their personalities obviously don't match though.

The technical term would be "trap!" :heh:

:cool:

come to think of it: would a male Haruhi use a male Mikuru's "trap-ness" to its fullest extent? :uhoh:
