Jun’ichi Wada directed the series based on the scripts by Touko Machida with Satelight handling the animation. Ikuko Ito worked on the character designs for it with Takeish Yasuda handling the overall planning while Kenichi Tajiri worked on the art direction. Lantis is, unsurprisingly, handling the music for the show while Tatsuya Katou composed the original music for it.

Together, the trio defends their high school literature club from extermination and from the pestering of Haruhi Suzumiya and her lovable friend Koizumi! Watch as Yuki navigates normal high school life, like Christmas parties, festivals, and feelings. And when another side of Yuki comes out will full-force, will her chances with Kyon be obliterated? No true Haruhi devotee should miss The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan!
