is it from the LN or just the flash series? if it was just the flash series then i don't think it canon and there were just one nyaruko in this Anime OP. and even if there were 2 nyarlathotep in the LN, i read somewhere that Nyarlathotep can have more than 1 avatar on the earth at once so Nyarlathotep maybe just split in 2 to troll Mahiro.

Here's one way to look at this: Everything that Lovecraft wrote was based on his experience with the aliens, with things being condensed to singular gods rather than a species (could be because he only met one examples). That could probably explain a few things. |

Not to mention that Lovecraft himself was pretty much a shut-in who showed contempt and repressed disgust for the unknown, kind of like an angry passive-agressive nerd who would not be out of place in 4chan's /b/. Yes, his litterary contribution is awesome for pop culture, but he is really not the kind of guy you'd like to meet irl if you are not a W.A.S.P and bourgeois.
i.e: he described black people, polish and italians in less than flattering terms. It's easier to guess how he would with aliens.

As I stated before, Rie Kugimiya (Hasta's VA) rarely voice male characters. Because she's always typecasted as either tsundere, loli or combination of both elements, I also remember she voiced the sole and only reverse trap she gets : it's Kaoru from Ladies Versus Butlers. Also, ultra-feminine guys (excluding MC) voiced by females like Hasta who appears in romcoms like this are hard to identify which his/her gender is.

I guess that the Japanese of that time period matched his idealized view of gentlemen. Even for a xenophobic, he had quite the standards, since he disapproved Hitler and his clique.

I was going for a play on the English translation of OreImo so while technically wrong about Nyarlathotep, it could be correct about the other Cthulu deities featured in the series. Was Cthuga an Elder God or an Outer God? |

It's a Great Old One, like Cthulhu and He Who Must Not Named. Wikisource have a sizable number of Lovecraft stories you can read for free. Otherwise, you can give a try to the Call of Cthulhu boardgame by Chaosium. You need friends and time for that, tho. If you don't mind vintage games, you can try Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice. More recent is Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

About the speculations on the gender of Hasuta (Hastur): Look at the school uniform. It's rare for a school to allow cross-dressing unless you happen to be Yukimura from Haganai (gender confusion) or Yui from TWGOK (have the backing of a prestigious family AND the school being a private school).

When watching the first episode, Mahiro always use a fork whenever Nyaruko do something indecent (like kissing), it became a running gag for the whole series. I can understand it's a boy who loves hitting the girl he loves, but why he always use that fork ?
