Nyarko W 01 - 50 Shades of G/Issue an Ultimatum
If Muromi is wacky comedy and Akibaranger S2 is toku reference central, than Nyarko stands at the direct center of those two, and in this paradise, I feel right at home. When they did the Wizard thing from the preview, that was so exciting. More than one Wizard reference, actually. Plus Fourze, and W, and Ryuki and AKB0048 and my god I love this show so much. The whole "pregnancy" discussion continues to be hilarious. Comedies can get away with that sort of thing, even if Nyarko will never become pregnant... but that it's teasing the idea makes the show feel that much better. Gender is no issue. And while lots of returning shows this season (see also: Samurai Bride) have to deal with the issue of reintroducing characters, Nyarko just flat out makes fun of it, shamelessly breaking the fourth wall in the process. The classroom intro scene being the most obvious instance. Couching the exposition in a game of Call of Cthulhu was delightfully meta. But, about making Sasami references, sorry, Nyarko. Namika already beat you to it one season ago. One last thing. I love that the April Fools' joke the show's website pulled wasn't just an April Fool. It was worked into the opening moments of the episode. That's the best kind of foreshadowing. Last edited by Midonin; 2013-04-07 at 13:12. |

It's strange when you think about it, that a 1960s American sitcom was so popular in Japan that it's parodied in a 2013 anime opening. Isn't that right Durward?
So many references, so many parodies, I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing because I don't get the reference, but it's all good fun from beginning to end. |

EP1: The madness is back!! Because I've sat through twelve episodes of this already, it doesn't hit me as hard as it did the first season. Despite that, this is what fans of the series would love to see.
