Sweet! Haruhi Suzumiya is back with all new episodes that are airing during reruns of the first season but so far it has only been one new episode.
However, before the new episodes started airing Kadokawa gave us new Haruhi content in the form of a 25 mini-episode series on YouTube. Haruhi-chan is a take off of the 4koma comic strip and is a slapstick humorous take on the whole gang with less of the looking for Espers, time travelers and aliens and more about Haruhi high jinks though out the year even tossing in some holidays along the way.
I thought it was funny and a great way to kill a couple minutes while whoring about YouTube. The episodes have been gathered up and released in Japan on DVD so could that mean that the DVD's will find their way to the states? They might they would definitely be worth a rental for sure and depending on how many disks and the price point it might be worth buying as well.
I missed a lot of the episodes when they were first aired on the Kadokawa Channel so ended up just downloading them a little while latter but a quick search on YouTube for subbed episodes turns up a lot but I don't know if it's all 25 episodes.
However here is the first episode so that you can check it out for yourself.
