After watching Scum's Wish, I was placed in a melancholic daze of epic proportions where I almost killed myself. Just kidding. It was a coma not a daze.
I needed something light-hearted, silly, mindless, and fun that didn't take itself seriously and also had a happy ending.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san fit the bill perfectly. Season 1 pulled me out of my perpetual melancholic state and had me smiling and laughing again.
Then I watched Plastic Memories and got sucked like a Cyclone vacuum cleaner into the void of depression again.
But Season 2 of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san bailed me out from the pits of despair yet again.
The entire
...
series has little to no plot and hardly any character development. It revolves around the static traits of the characters and the conflicts they get into with their situations and each other using much satire and parody. It's mindless, brainless, stupid fun with some warm moments thrown in. Mahiro, the male protagonist, probably has the most character "development" if you can call it that. He is perpetually annoyed by Nyaruko's constant advances and confessions throughout the series until the very end where...well just watch it and don't skip the final OVA Haiyore! Nyaruko-san - F.
Season 2 Episode 6 was probably the most heart-felt as Nyaruko does a very serious confession and I was hoping this would give the remaining episodes a little more serious tone (as much as I was enjoying the light-hearted comedy of it all). Nope. But for me the overall series still had a happy and satisfying ending.
If you're looking for something serious then stay away from this one and go watch something like Your Lie In April.
If you like turning off your brain for the sake of comedic laughs, or maybe you need to get out of a funk from being depressed from other gut-wrenching anime, then this might just do the trick as it did for me.
I loved the whole series and highly recommend it!
