Currently there are 4 volumes released of this manga.

Covers:



Mangaka: Fujiwara Sato

Genre: Shounen, Comedy, Romance

So this show is about girls and cats? Isn't that kind of like eating your chocolate and peanut butter without combining them?

I saw this one mentioned a lot (since it's from the same comics brand that Hyakko came from) during commercials last fall, so I'm interested out of curiosity. As long as what they say about curiosity and cats doesn't prove true.

Homepage
 

The official homepage of the anime (without content atm) is: http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/nyankoi/

The anime will start broadcast in 2009 on TBS.

Two short articles:

Sounds like fun, from the manga summary. Though TBS means the 4:3/16:9 thing again, right?

Unfortunately so.

There are lineart sketches of two cats (Nyamusasu and Tama) in different online magazines: 1 2 3.

ETA: Two sketches of the main character (Junpei Kousaka) were posted in the same places: 1 2 3.

ETA: The staff (see post from NeoSam below) and two sketches of Mizuno Kaede were posted in the same magazines: 1 2 3.

ETA: The (probably) last update contains two sketches of Kanako Sumiyoshi. The anime will start airing in September 2009. 1 2 3.

The staff for the Nyan Koi! TV anime series:

Director: Kawaguchi Keiichirou
Series Composition: Inotsume Shinichi
Character Design: Morita Kazuaki
General Animation Director: Sakou Yukie
Cat Animation Director: Yamane Masahiro
Art Director: Kosakabe Naoko
Audio Director: Iida Satoki
Backgrounds/Scenery: GREEN
Animation Production: AIC

If only by chance, I stumbled upon the staff list and decided to read. The director's previous works include Moetan, the first season of Hayate, and Zettai Karen Children.

I'm sold.

Two short articles with colored sketches of the cats Nyamusasu and Tama: 1 2

ETA: Second update with the colored sketches of the three protagonists, but still no cast list: 1 2

The series will start airing in October 2009.

The official website has been revamped to its final form. Which is good, because I'm interested in this one, 4:3 aspect ratio be damned.

Ahh, I'm torn between whether I should watch this or not. The staff has done some great work ( if the humor is anything like Hayate's first season, this is worth watching), but the manga hasn't progressed very far has it :upset: .. As much as I'm really tempted to see this, I'd rather save myself watching it get butchered by fillers. Also, anyone have any comments on the manga?

A time slot and date have been confirmed. This show will be on the first of October, inheriting the time slot now held by Taisho Yakyuu Musume.

Some sketches of additional characters: 1 2 3 or 1 2 3.

The homepage was updated with the airing dates and times of two channels (October 1 on TBS, October 31 on BS-TBS).

There is also a page with the OP and ED:

OP: "にゃんだふる！" by Yui Sakakibara

ED: "Strawberry～甘く切ない涙～" by Asami Imai

*sigh* this means it's going to be a broadcast crop, by the sounds of it. :(

What a title. "Nyanderful!".

This series looks like it's shaping up to be good. About the only thing left to be confirmed at this point is the cast.

There is an interview with the main cast and the director at mycom.

* Junpei Kousaka: Shintaro Asanuma
* Kaede Mizuno: Yuka Iguchi
* Kanako Sumiyoshi: Ryoko Shiraishi
* Nyamusasu: Atsuko Tanaka
* Tama: Jun Fukuyama

ETA: Two other cast members are:
* Nagisa Ichinose: Yu Kobayashi
* Kumaneko: Yui Sakakibara

Nice!

Fukuyama Jun is voicing a cat, nyaa~

hehe I take it he's voicing the big fat one?:)

Its a nice cast, really can't wait for this seem pretty interesting.

A promotional video can now be watched on the official site, featuring what sounds like the theme songs. I believe the same video was shown at the latest Comiket?
