No idea how this got onto cosplay, but anyway, reply times O:

Funny Idea, but it will never be more than an Illusion.
Kyon has to be male !!

but it would be funny if he was a cute girl. Anyway, then would male Haruhi dress up in a Buny Costume

NEVA !!!
If they were all lesbian girls ^^ That'd be nice thought.
I don't think it's sick 'n weird, I think the idea poses a rather interesting question. I mean, some events would be completely different once their genders were reversed, for example, Haruhi (as a guy) kicking the computer club president (as a girl) would be just... wtf. Not to mention this scene here:
As for the bunny suit issue, it's actually been discussed on animesuki (I gave the link in my first post, have fun reading through the 40+ pages to find it.

Lmao I know, actually suddenly Koizumi's gayness seems to be a whole lot more acceptable now xD
Like this...

But, I tend to like shows for their own original magic, so while I don't think anything ill of the notions put forward here, I like the original cast make up of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi as it is.
There's something specially addictive about how Haruhi is drawn. And the other personalities also have their charm I think because they were crafted well.
Yeah well, this is just a fan made project, and I can't help find the entire concept really interesting.

Jury's still out but solid character designs and an interesting premise are leading me on towards the former right now

Yeah. Actually if you read the thread things have started moving in a strange direction. Not only have fans on the internet all agreed on the character designs, but they are dealing with other issues that genderbending the show would bring.

I mean Haruhi, when a girl talks about that she is only interested in aliens and that stuff and she does all this weird things it’s still consider kind of cute by others (ok mostly by males

), but if it’s a boy he would probably be consider some kind of strange geek.
As for Mikuru, a cute little boy might work, but not as well as our cute, shy, clumsy fanservice-device!
Yuki, well I don’t think it really matters if she’s a girl or boy, but I still prefer the girl!
Of course that is if they keep their currant personalities, if they get new/other personalities that might work. But than it’s not a genderbending but different characters that only resemble them.
Still the idea is interesting.
I´m still supporting the all-girl version!!!!
Oh and that 4koma about Yuuki requesting Kyon-ko to come to his room is absolute win!

Yes. Kyon and Koizumi would make good girls o3o
As for your other points, they have already been discussed and dealt with on the official thread for the project on animesuki. You'd be surprised how well Haruhi and Mikuru translate into guys.
