Fan-made remake videos inspired by these opening credit movies began to be uploaded to NND during the 1st season. The first hit video is a hand-drawn animation reproducing the last episode's version by the characters from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It was posted on February 27th, 2008.



Inspired by pioneering challenges by motivated users like this, this hand-drawn animated video meme finally took off around the end of the 2nd season, and it has been continuing modestly even after the anime ended.[3] Because of this, almost all videos in this series are made by reference to the 2nd season's one.
