Haruhi is supposed to be this huge sendup of cliched anime characters and tropes. It's also primarily a comedy.

Besides, Yuki looks nothing like Rei except for the general hair shape. (Different builds, etc.) This girl, on the other hand, well, is pretty much recolored Haruhi from what we can see. The way she's described makes her sound exactly like Haruhi, as well. And then there's the whole "SSS" thing...

This honestly looks more like a ripoff than a parody. Parodies are usually comedic, and this does not look comedic.

However, even then, this will still be great because it's written by Jun Maeda. I'm watching it.
