>>986964 Nah, I was talking about the characters' personality, not strictly the roles they play. Haruhi F. is the heroine, and Haruhi S. is the heroine in the other series; like you said, they are incongruous when translating them based on their roles, so their personalities have to draw analogues from each other to some extent.
Female Kyon => Ouran Haruhi, personality wise. Male Haruhi => Tamaki, more or less.
Ouran works, because it doesn't appear so misogynistic in comparison to gender-bended Haruhi- they portray the male cast as caricatures of people removed from ordinary people's (i.e. Haruhi Fujioka's) circumstances. And then hilarity ensues because it's more wackier than that other Haruhi show.
Fans are still trying to get around the fact that if you have a psychotic world-destroying girl and change her sex along with other people, personalities and interactions have to change drastically. The closest thing to the target is Ouran, so a gender-bended Haruhi is, at best, an Ouran-wannabe.
