Call of Cthulhu.

THAT was it! Thanks!

Not much fan of Lovecraft, just a meh from me. Nyaruko is cute, but if that's all there is, I dunno if it's gonna be enough to hold my interest till the end. Will wait for more of the cast to show up.

ars89 · 2012-04-09, 18:17

That was insanely ridiculous, but i liked every minute of it.

sikvod00 · 2012-04-09, 18:18

Aww, man. I was hoping I wouldn't enjoy this episode. But now that I do, that's another anime to add to my never-ending list. That backlog is getting bigger and bigger.

SagaraSouske · 2012-04-09, 19:36

Insanely hilarious!!!

Flower · 2012-04-09, 19:43

Ok ... very like the short flash series before, ep 1 was absolutely ridiculous, weird and idiotic - and to be honest, I enjoyed it.

About 90 seconds after Nyaruko popped up on screen I began scratching my head and wondering "where have I heard this VA use this 'style' of acting before?" ... and then I suddenly remembered Ran from Shugo Chara and began to laugh so hard it began to hurt....

I believe I have found my "guilty pleasure" series for the season.

PURE HATE!!! towards mahiro!! how can he be so mean to nyaruko!!??, anyways im very pleased with this series, and i love nyaruko, its like if kuroko and konata did a fusion, and if the rest of the episodes are as half as fun of this one this is gonna be great.

Crazy'O · 2012-04-09, 20:13

Loved it, favourite anime this season so far.
It somehow reminds me a little of Excel Saga, which is a good thing as far as Im concerned.

Random Wanderer · 2012-04-09, 20:24

I've just been doing some minor research about the various Cthulhu mythos name-drops Nyaruko's been doing, and ran across a tidbit concerning Shanta-kun and his quick loss against the nightgaunt.

Quote:

A shantak is a huge, scaly, birdlike creature with batlike wings, slimy skin, and two strong talons that lives in the Cold Waste of Earth's Dreamlands. Shantaks are sometimes summoned to serve as steeds. They are hunted by the Elder God Nodens and greatly fear nightgaunts.

All in all, a very poor choice as a beast to fight a nightgaunt. As we saw.

Midonin · 2012-04-09, 20:28

Maybe it was her starter. People always have a close attachment to those things, even if the type matchup doesn't work.

KyriaL · 2012-04-09, 21:00

One of the few lively and loud characters that are hard to hate, Let this be the relaxation show for this season which I can always look forward to after a hard day's work!

She's a Lovecraftian monster. The fact that you can't see the tentacles means they must be someplace ... hmm ... now that I consider it, that might be kinda fun. Mahiro!! You moron!

Kakkou · 2012-04-09, 21:29

Glad to see the fork abuse is still there, albeit offscreen now. The energy and silliness is still the same, which is good, good, very good! Gonna stick with this for sure.

Xacual · 2012-04-09, 21:33

This was pretty much as expected after watching both seasons of the 2 minute shorts. So it was hilarious and I will continue to watch with enjoyment.

Nah, you do not mate with an eldritch abomination. I'm pretty sure it's never turned out well. Besides, Mahiro's probably going to have a hard enough time keeping Kuuko from lighting him on fire next episode. If the flamey one thinks Mahiro's been involved with her girl, things might get ugly.

kagato3 · 2012-04-09, 21:56

loved it.
Lovecaft as a japanesee widgit series. its all clear now everything fits.

serenade_beta 天使な悪魔型 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: U~ Nya~ U~ Nya~ U~ Nya~ U~ Mya~ U~ Nya~ ...Hm? The episode felt like the flash shorts extended over a longer period with a little more story-focus. It was pretty enjoyable, but time felt like it was moving so slow while watching this... Maybe it will feel faster as the characters start appearing and the entire episode wasn't about Asumi talking 24-7 at a very high tension. Also, compared to the flash, the protagonist seems like a whole lot more... normal. Maybe it's because they don't actually show him stabbing her... __________________ -Tried to start a blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
