(L+CR) Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (Xebec)

[MakubeX2]

You people just go read Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror for the official take on what a sexual union between and elder god and a human can result in.

Not the brother, but another spawn of Yog-Sothoth and another woman.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Well he calls him sibling in the second game...

And all of Yog's kids are as good as blood siblings since they're so special and all...

Spoiler for Episode 12 (End):

I cannot feel Mahiro living in his world without Nyaruko. Fortunately, she saves him and Gutatan from Jonathan (the latter's butler) turning into a Nighthaunt forming his harem of minions, and Kuuko, Hastur, Yoriko and Luhi are present as well to fight them. The fight end with Nyaruko transforming her stick into a legendary sword to kill Jonathan. And I'm glad Mahiro ends up with Nyaruko, despite still being oblivious to her feelings. Really loved this show due to a nice combination of Lovecraftian comedy with action, and I'm looking forward to the second season if it happens.

Nyarko 12 - PARADISE LOST

Even if the first half of the episode was a little clipshow-y, it did a wonderful job with atmosphere. The birds, the clouds, the layer of gray coating everything. It was exactly the kind of thing Lovecraft would've liked. As this show is wont to do, of course it ends on an anticlimax, done for the love of eroge. (I completely understand the villains' motivations. I, myself, have a pretty sizable backlog of ges of the ero nature. Though exploiting Ghuta to do it is kinda dickish.) It did make for an awesome final battle, with everyone playing a role in the proceedings, save for Yoichi and Tamao.

Ghuta even ended up joining Mahiro's harem by the end.

I've been saying it since the first week, but I absoloutely love this show, for many of the same reasons I love Akibaranger. It mocks and celebrates nerd culture at the same time, mostly through having a plot simple enough that it can be anything, while also being ridiculous in and of itself. (Chtulu Mythos + love comedy. Japan, don't stop doing what you do.) In a lot of ways, it reminds me of the first season of Hayate no Gotoku (ie. my favorite season), and probably has the highest density of toku references I've seen in any anime. The love for Kamen Rider that permeates through this program is truly admirable.

It also had just about every form of relationship imaginable, all played for laughs, and some wonderful comedic timing. I am and will continue to be a big KuuNyaru fan, but Mahiro/Nyarko actually isn't too bad. Kana Asumi proved she can be as manic as anyone else in the VA scene - everyone brought in a good performance.

I will wait for the day when a second season is announced, because Nyarko and friends will always be at the top of my priority list.

Great final episode, I'm looking forward to a second season!

[flack]

Fan service all the way until the last moment.

[Kimidori]

I expected Excalibur reference when nyaruko pull out the sword, but it not

[Dragoshi1]

Exciting end to a great anime.

Can't wait for a season 2 if they do one.

[taichi-kun]

Yeah the final episode was quite good

It doesn't matter now but Where is mahiro's father ? I wonder if he is absent in the novels too

Too busy at work to come home

[taichi-kun]

haha yeah but It's so weird

summoning light novels readers(?)

[FlavoryFantasy]

Haha what a good ending for this show. Love of eroge. Loved how the crowbar helped Nyarko out there
Mondays won't be the same without this show... Season 2 announcement whennnn~?

[justsomeguy]

There's not much to say, other than that Xebec surprised me. It's not a deep show, but the humor was mostly right, and they managed to squeeze in some sort of plot. The situation was never dire enough to warrant the constant cliffhangers, but that was a nice technique to keep me watching to see how anticlimactic things turn out to be. The last episode even had a suitable final boss, and epilogue plot.

8/10. I was thinking 7, but the finale was too good for that.

[DezoPenguin]

I loved the first six episodes of the show to death. Starting with Ep. 7, the growing success of the romance kind of took hold like a tumor of seriousness, turning Mahiro from a guy bewildered and swamped by the craziness around him into just another tsundere that happened to be male. Those antics caused me to start actively disliking Nyarko, which is not good when she's the center of the humor (and also made Kuuko and the Trap in Yellow seem less funny in their pursuit of Nyarko and Mahiro, respectively, and more just sad and pathetic).

...I guess I just don't want romantic hijinks in my comedy? Or maybe it's because I've seen too many "I will pursue you until you give in! 'No' just means 'try harder'!" types to find them appealing when it's taken at all seriously...

The finale, though, definitely brought things back up a notch, with an appropriately anticlimactic-yet-somehow-interesting final boss, some poignancy, and more humor. I'd be happy to see a second season, though less loli and more Atoko would be my cast preference. I think I shall now start shipping Mahiro with Shanta-kun, now that he has declared his love!

[DorkingtonPugsly]

Great last episode for a great fun series. Past Me has no idea what nyaruko's gonna be like when fully animated.
