The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]

[shaoron]

ok, this is getting a tad bit out of hand.
yes, we get tons and tons of ideas, which is good...
but we have to finalize all the characters and how everything is played out...

with that said... we need someone in charge of this...
and it seems like kaisos and DJ_rockman is the one who started it...

who's going to be the writer again?

[Mitsu Aoi]

Something I have in my folders....
Nagato Marry me!!

How ever i have the frist one uploaded:

[Bean Bandit]

Wow. I've been watching this grow with interest (So much so that I even registered to make this comment.) I'd be happy to pitch in with whatever might be needed, writing-wise, or even drawing illustrations for the novel version, if needed.

If not, I look forward to seeing what comes of it!

[MercFH]

Female Kyon scares me..... and Male Haruhi just has to do away with the headband lol

Itsuko?

That would be me.

I nominate Rockman as our chief.

[shaoron]

right... *presents rockman the "danchou armband"*

let's define everyone's character/personality first...

[DJ_RockmanX]

I wake up and the first thing I see is that I've been made Danchou of Genderbending. o.o;;

Edit: I brought back some of the posts where we tried to define the characters. Let's start coming to an agreement on these, and then I'll put in some of the finalized results in the thread's intro post.

However his short attention span leaves him disinterested in pursuing relationships very far. Kyon-ko has interested him in that she does not reciprocate his advances, making her the only girl worth really going after.

Nagato: A slender, serious, no-nonsense megane shounen of few words. Kyon-ko is intrigued by his mysterious nature.

Asahina: A shouta trap for whom Suzumiya has big plans for. Suzumiya intends to make a man out of the timid Asahina, whose small stature and cute face attract all sorts of fangirls.

Koizumi: An intelligent and philosophical young girl with an impressive chest. She is extremely flirtatious, and has taken quite an interest in Kyon-ko.

Kyon-ko: A tsundere character with an underdeveloped chest. How does she view the world around her?

Anyway, first thing off my head before I forget it:

Instead of bunny girl costumes, Haruki and Mikuru would be dressed up as Hard Gay.


Since I was asked to throw in suggestions, here's some:

Suzumiya Haruki ("Haruki" in kanji instead of hiragana for the masculine feel): Hot-blooded youth, eccentric genius (I can stand eccentric people, but not idiots)

Kyonko: Her real name is unknown. Long ago, an uncle just called her "Kyonko-chan" and the nickname stuck to the point that everyone, including her little brother began to call her that, much to her annoyance.

Asahina Mikuru ("Mikuru" in kanji): Timid shy anorexic boy, trap. Fits into any costume, male or female.

Nagato Yuuki (different kanji for "Yuuki"): At first glance looks like a timid bookish boy, but is more than meets the eye. If he wasn't so emotionlessly quiet, one would think he would blush even more than Mikuru. Discards glasses after saving Kyonko.

Koizumi Itsuki ("Itsuki" in hiragana for feminine feel): Bright person, can be talkative, brains of the SOS Brigade. Neither admits nor denies yuri feelings for Kyonko.

Tsuruya-san: Gorgeous rich kid with a generous sense of humour.

Asakura Ryou: The idol class rep all the girls adore. Your typical shoujo manga guy idol.

Kyonko's brother: Your typical cute shota little brother.

Kimidori Emiri: I have no objection to the available fanart

Kunkida: Retains his male counterpart's "femininity", though of course now a girl, thinks like one of those generic girl sidekicks in shoujo mangas

Taniguchi: The girl sidekick that constantly likes to show off in order to impress guys. Should design her less like her male counterpart and be more moe, though not surpassing Kyonko or Itsuki.

Computer Club: No objection to fanart

Asahina Mikuru (big): Matured and "manly" in a shoujo manga way, not the muscular tough guy. Still retains his "cuteness". I'll let the yaoi fangirls do this.

Arakawa (in governess costume): I'm thinking of Miss Maria from Mai Otome

Mori Sonou (elegant butler): Hayate the Combat Butler?

I might as well throw in the latest chapters

Sasaki: Less genki than Haruki, though just as eccentric as his female counterpart


Fujiwara: Foul-mouthed b!tch.

Tachibana Kyou: Just stick in elements of the original Koizumi, adjust his personality to fit his female counterpart and you'll have male Tachibana.

That's it for now. I'll leave you with two niconico videos. Already the users are cursing Nagato for keeping Kyonko to himself. Who would have thought Nagato's name being cursed in such a way before?

Edit: Added Kyonko's brother.

Kyon-ko changes this because of her general disinterest of him and his ilk. Used to all the attention the girls give him, he starts to get intrigued by Kyon-ko's disinterest... (and wonders why the heck she looks so familiar!)

[Tyabann]

I don't think we need to worry about any of the characters not in the first novel yet.

If you ask me, though, those descriptions agree pretty well.

We just need to agree on names.

[Tangowr]

[shaoron]

the most important thing for the moment is to define haruhi (male) character properly.

if we retain haruhi's original character into the male persona, he becomes extreamly annoying.
we have to define what's his source of "melancholy" (if any) or do we change thing.
and how does the "alien, time traveler and esper" thing come into play? what's the main motivation of creating the brigade?

kyonko... most of us have already agreed on her (more or less).

[DJ_RockmanX]

Kyonko: Beyond awesome.

Asahina: Has way too much ass in the first pic for our plans of shota.

Itsuki-chan: She's the one cosplay raping Kyonko? I can approve of that idea.

The rest of the guys: Look pretty good.

rofl!! Switch genders and it makes total sense

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

Oh not to the extreme ItsukiKyon fangirls out there (me being one of them ) I like Koizumi as a guy and a guy he should stay

This thread is quite funny. Poor Kyon gets the underdeveloped chest XD

New 4-koma has surfaced. Lone Island Syndrome?

Got links? I've already seen at least one link to Chinese fanart on this idea recently, but I don't know the sources on the Korean sites.

[user76145]

This idea is hilarious and I'd like to support it. (Yes, I registered solely for this thread)

I don't know what I could do, but there will surely be something.^^

@Haruki's personality:
Maybe his behavior should show that he understands what he does; in contrast to Haruhi, who just does what she wants to do, without even thinking (Even though she is intelligent).
It would be a subtle difference, but prevent us from creating another shounen-like male lead character.
