Good news to all anime fans as the release date for the Haruhi Suzumiya anime spin off, "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan" along with new cast members and plot details.
According to AnimeNewsNetwork, the release date of "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan" anime will premier on April 3, 2015 in Tokyo MX at 1:40 a.m.
Fandom Post reported the staff and crew of the anime spin off as Jun’ichi Wada is set to direct the series based on the written scripts by Touko Machida with Satelight handling the animation, and Takeish Yasuda for the overall planning. Character designs are being drawn by Ikuko Ito, while Kenichi Tajiri provides the art direction. Lantis is handling the music for the show as Tatsuya Katou will compose the original music for the anime show.
Crunchyroll previously reported that voice-actors in The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan anime show as it stars Minori Chihara as Yuki Nagato, along with the original cast members such as Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya, Tomokazu Sugita as Kyon, Natsuko Kuwatani as Ryouko Asakura, Yuko Goto as Mikuru Asahina and Daisuke Ono as Itsuki Koizumi.
Aside from the cast and crew, AnimeNewsNetwork revealed the plot synopsis of the anime based on the works of Nagaru Tanigawa's Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series.
"This spin-off of the Haruhi Suzumiya series takes place in the world of the "Disappearance" arc of the original novels, focusing on the high school life (and romance!) of a tentative and bashful Yuki Nagato quite unlike the one you've come to know and love through the usual exploits of the SOS Brigade... but no less charming!" according to Japanese publisher Yen Press.
It is been almost four years since anime fans last saw or heard of Haruhi Suzumiya in any form of media. Nagaru Tanigawa's light novel series has been a huge success, not only in Asia but around the world. It was Kyoto animation who produced the anime TV series way back in April 2-July 2 of 2006, and was rebroadcast from April 3-October 9 of 2009. It also spawned a spin-off, "The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya" and the anime film, "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya".
