Cthuko = kasumi from Dead or Alive
I thought it was Mai Shiranui but then i realized the colors would be inverted. I don't remember seeing Kasumi with those whatever-it-is-underarm-ropes being red either though.
Also i'm dissapoined for lack of Darkstalerks' Morrigan outfit, with this should it would be a perfect fit.

I guess I was too quick to jump the conclusion base on color scheme alone. But with the outfit design(which I just took a carefully look at it) she has a more of Mai's outfit than Kasumi's one.

Here is the reason why I said it was kasumi:

That color scheme is one of her famous color scheme.

That's where I see it stands now as well. I think the moment he realized he was in the dating sim was when his sanity points went from plus to minus.

oh come on!
he took it quite well IMO - after all things that happened before, this is one of more normal...
What you say is true, but I think we all can agree his resolve to resist is crumbling and possibly irreversibly so. I see a future where he'll find himself changing diapers for a dozen babies he can't tell which end to put the diapers on.

Yup. Actually a nice episode. Even though this has been overdone in the past.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I believe there's a Street Fighter and King of Fighters reference during the battle: Nyaruko is dressed as Chun-Li and Kuuko dressed as Mai Shiranui.

I believe Nyaruko was Pai from Virtua Fighter, not Chun-Li.
Awesome episode, all the references were full of win. That Bridget Hastur was so spot on it almost made me fell off my chair from the laughs.

Meanwhile in a parallel universe. Or a dating simulation game universe to be precise. Pretty interesting concept though. He has to get a good ending before he can escape.

Also; the references the references! The one in the sunset lit classroom just like in Haruhi, the K-on concert and more. xD

Where the hell was Tamao all this time though? She was a love interest as well yet she didn't get any events until she jumped him at the end. I wonder if she has feelings for him IRL too, without the sarcasm.

Of course nobody remembers except the main character. How convenient. Although it looked like Nyariko remembered something though.

So this ep is all about parodies from other anime, but I kinda hate Mahiro for shoving Nayrlko aside.




That outfit looks better on Lady Gaga than with that fatso.

I think the big sakura tree was a part in the first two series (the only ones I've seen). My thought when seeing it was Da Capo as well.

I'm pretty sure the concert is a reference to Haruhi, not K-ON! She even lampshades it by commenting on its key animation (which the Haruhi concert is known for). Plus, her outfit is a dead give-away.

Heck, I don't even think there was a K-ON! reference in this episode.

So Mahiro finally gave in and kissed Nyaruko. Even though it was only in the game, to her it was as close to real as she could get. Plus, the fact that she remembers it as well will probably come into play later (though perhaps not directly).

I don't even think she would wear that but I still think it's a nice effort. Needs more like that at conventions.

Noticed a lot of references. Good episode all in all. I really like this show.

Haruhi -- endless eight, Kuuko imitating Yuki and the Haruhi school outfit.
Working -- Poplar's hair and her seiyuu too.
Sengoku Basara -- Nyaruko with the 6 swords and Kuuko with Yukimura's spear.
Index -- Hasuta's outfit during the brawl.


It's not an Index Reference. It's from a certain game, where Bridget is in reality... A boy.

A dating sims episode, oh hell yes. It was hilarious watching them trying to set flags and stuff. That game ending scene with Nyarlko and Mahiro was just so sweet to watch. Woooooooooooooooooot Nyarlko got her romantic kiss with him. Slowly but surely shes making some nice progress with Mahiro. Haha that idea of giving a marriage registration form as a present is great. And I am pretty sure she's just pretending to have forgotten.

Really enjoyed this episode. All the Haruhi references (Endless Eight, the Yandere Class President, the God Knows scene) were perfectly used. Their use of KamiNomi's "I see the ending" is absolutely genius. Oh and that tree from Clannad! xD

Oh god this episode was amazing. Probably the greatest since the pilot.

Laughed so many times at the references, especially the Haruhi ones. The end was a nice tease, Nyaruko would pretend to have forgotten afterall just to have a little more fun.

From all I knew: Obvious Endless Eight and KamiNomi parody. Then an obvious Asakura parody and a third Haruhi one, and a F/SN one.

I already had that feeling previously, but this only episode only made it stronger that perhaps Tamao does like Mahiro after all. At last they were joking about it, but there is a good possibility.

I loved the multiple Haruhi references and the Marimite(Maria-sama ga Miteru) parody scene with Kuuko and Mahiro, and loved the "Azaroth watches over us" bit too.

Nice that he picked Nyarko(although he really could have given Hastur more consideration). Of course, Kuuko is still my favorite of the 3 major "deity" characters. Luhy is always a pleasure to see too.

"Azathoth-sama watches over us."

Lol, Nice parody of staple anime cliches and list of anime references. "Childhood friend" style wake up (by his own mother, the hell?), "Running into late girl with toast in her mouth", and "Onee-sama style necktie fix" type of classics are there.

Kuuko's parody of Ryoko Asakura's scene from Haruhi takes the cake for me. And Kana Asumi "reprising" her role as Poplar with Nyaruko. Hell yeah. It's a darn shame Eri Kitamura can't do the same with Yachiyo as Mahiro, though... (Yes, the seiyuu for Mahiro and Yachiyo is one and the same person. <3)

The Working reference was very good considering it was parodying the voice actress's other character from the show, Popura. I haven't laughed this entire series but I have to admit the reference to the cross-dressing nun Bridget from Guilty Gear got me because it was so random. Good job show.
