Eh. All he does is react to her. It'd be fine if his tsukkomis were funny.

It's the evaluation by Nico^2 users of a live broadcast of the first episode:
1. Very good - 86.5%
2. It was okay - 10.7%
3. Not so good - 1.3%
4. Bad - 1.5%

So overall it's 97.2% in favour of the first episode, which going by the comments, is very good, even better than Accel World's results of:
Interesting - 65%
Kinda interesting - 29%
(I would consider these as the equal of 1 & 2 of Nyarlko's poll)

Well, admittedly most of his retorts involve forking her so it's not effective it isn't considered funny. There really isn't much he can do except react to the absurdity around him, except maybe resist being drawn into Nyarlko's pace.

Yes, Nyarlko's VA is Kana Asumi (Popura, Miya Amagami, Yuno Hidamari).

Much thanks.

This show gave me Keroro Gunsou vibes, making my sides hurt.

Wrap your brain around that for a second... somebody says something silly, and he grabs a fork and stabs them... he stabs them because he dislikes what they said.

I the great anime pantheon of FailMales to hate, there are useless characters, there are whiney characters, there are emo's and navel-gazers; but cheap little self absorbed flip-out spazzes Mahiro are the utter nadir.

I wish he was real, if only so I could make sure his fingers could never grip a fork again.

Whatever hack writer thought beating and stabbing women, or women like entities makes great comedy, deserves a kick in the jewels too.
just so you know, the writer of the original novel is female. and what mahiro beat up here is Nyarlathotep, The Crawling Chaos, him of a thousand masks. she could change her form into a tentacle monster or a man if she like.

Why is the main character voiced by a girl imitating a boy?

Were Satoshi Hino, Yuuki Kaji, Hiro Shimono, etc. not available to voice the harem lead character?

They probably just wanted an excuse to have KitaEri sing with the other girls in the OP so it'll sell better. Nah, it's because she already voiced him in the flash shorts and they decided to carry everyone over to the new series. This isn't the first time a (non-shota) male lead's been voiced a female anyway.

Such is the way of feminists. They want their cake and eat it too.

The manliest man in anime thus far is Kamijou Touma from the anime Toaru Majutsu no Index. Touma falcon punches guys and girls without discrimination between gender for the evil deeds they have done. Reading comments on blogs/discussion sites however, quite a number of people actually scrutinize Touma for hitting a girl even if she's a evil sadistic bitch. Yet they have no qualms about him doing the same to a guy (Equality lol).

They have even given Touma the nickname "Wife Beater" for daring to defend himself from death. Seemingly disregarding the fact that Touma is usually in a near death state due to the torture inflicted upon by his female opponent BEFORE he delivers justice to their face.

Yea Touma can get bones broken, skin ripped off, limbs cut off, etc. but as soon as he so much as touches a woman to stop the torture, he gets labeled a wife beater.

Steins Gate where Okabe falcon punches a woman for the evil deeds she has committed. People bitch and cry foul about him hitting a woman and completely ignoring the evil deeds she has done in the past. If it were a man that did the same deeds, they'd be cheering him on and want the protagonist to castrate the man. I believe that Touma has actually gotten a reputation among anime fans for falcon punching women.

Now I know the old doctrine of "chivalry" and not hitting women (what about self-defense?) but still, doesn't this take it too far in hypocrisy? It doesn't matter if that person is a mass murdering psychopath, as long as she's female, don't hit her (Equality lol)?

Note to guys: If a woman is ever violently assaulting you, do not defend yourself and let them kill you or you (and your family) will live a life of harassment/vigilantism by white knights and feminists.

Not for harems unless the guy is per-pubescent or very effeminate like the one from Girls Bravo or Kanokon. Rito from To-Love Ru too but he has gender bender mode.

So much seriousness about the mere mortal poking a fork at the moe Eldritch Abomination.

if you think he's gay because he rejected Nyaruko. then i think you should consider that the main guy know Nyaruko's true form is an Eldritch Abomination, and do you really want to romance with this?

i'm afraid something like this will come out
Spoiler for Cthulhu:

Ooh, this first episode for this anime was a bunch of laughs. It's nice to see Kana Asumi doing the lead heroine's voice, she perfect for that character and her voice is so much fun.

I am however surprised that Kitamura Eri is voicing for the male lead. I'm so used to her girly loli voice most of the time.

This is the most random anime I had seen in a long time. I am already busy with many other animes (HEY FATE ZERO + BF-15J) but I will keep watching this since the first episode was so random and funny at the same time.

Seriously, it's funnier since it is a non-issue. Because, you know, he was forking a Cosmic Abomination. "She" could have taken "her" true form, and suddenly all that fuss about "omg man hitting woman" mean jackshit. In Lovecraft's way, "her" transformation would have been the stuff of nightmares like Carpenter's "The Thing", just much worse

Also: Eldritch Abomination, Go Mad From The Revelation.

I'm not too fussed about the forking. From what I know of Lovecraft, the human appearance is just that, a appearance. I've spent the entire episode trying to come to terms of "my imouto eldritch abomination can't be this cute human", it's jarring. Sure, you don't smack around your ally, but that thing is not a girl. Trying to bring gender into this and looking only skin deep is iffy IMO. Sure, if that thing stays as a person as understood by humans and won't drive everyone insane, it deserves respect as equal to anyone, but if it starts to bring about Armageddon then fry the damn squidlike creature.
