'Haruhi Suzumiya' Spinoff 'The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan' Release Date Revealed

Fans of the popular franchise "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" got some excitement this week as the spinoff, "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan," finally has its release date. The anime series will begin its broadcast late (or early) April 4 at 1:40am in Japan.

Late last December, Anime News Network released a full cast list for "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan" and fans were for the most part intrigued and pleased with the announcement. Mainly, they were happy to see the return of previous voice cast members from "Haruhi Suzumiya."

"Satellite huh? I got mixed feelings on that but the cast looks decent. I hope this airs at least Spring next year," commented Stark700 in an ANN forum.

"I'm so glad to hear the cast are reprising their roles! I was kinda sad about the character design change, but finding out that Ikuko Ito is doing them makes me feel better since I'm a fan of Maho Tsukai Tai," said Animexcel.

"It's been a fun ride to see this other version of Yuki getting centre stage. I really like the main cast of Yuki, Kyon and Ryoko," explained Ali07.

The full cast list in question is reported by Crunchyroll as follows:

Yuki Nagato: Minori Chihara

Kyon: Tomokazu Sugita

Ryouko Asakura: Natsuko Kuwatani

Mikuru Asahina: Yuko Goto

Tsuruya-san: Yuki Matsuoka

Taniguchi: Minoru Shiraishi

Kunikida: Megumi Matsumoto

Itsuki Koizumi: Daisuke Ono

Haruhi Suzumiya: Aya Hirano

The anime series will be directed by Junichi Wada with character designs by Ikuko Ito.
