Haiyore! Nyaruko-san

Mahiro Yasaka is just an ordinary high school student, until one day he is suddenly attacked by a dangerous monster. Just when everything seems to be lost, he is saved by a silver-haired girl named Nyaruko, who claims to be the shape-shifting deity Nyarlathotep from horror author H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, sent by the Space Defense Agency to Earth. She explains to Mahiro that the creature chasing him was an alien called Nightgaunt, who had planned on abducting and selling him as a slave.

After rescuing him from the alien, the Lovecraftian deity falls madly in love with Mahiro and forces herself into his household, much to his chagrin. Moreover, they are soon joined by two others from the fictional universe: Cthuko, a girl obsessed with Nyaruko, and Hasuta, a young boy easily mistaken for a beautiful female. Together, the three eccentric aliens protect Mahiro from the various extraterrestrial dangers that threaten both his and Earth's well-being, all the while making his life a living hell.

Experiencing post-anime depression syndrome after watching this masterpiece is inevitable. Inspired by Lovecraft, the story is both intriguing and captivating. While the premise might seem familiar, the execution is unique and refreshing, keeping you engaged throughout.

The humor is top-notch, with jokes that are genuinely funny and will likely make anyone laugh. The art style is impressive and visually appealing, perfectly fitting the eerie and comedic tone of the story. It enhances the overall experience, making each scene a visual treat.

The characters are well-rounded, each with their own flaws and strengths, making them relatable and memorable. Their reactions to situations and events feel realistic, grounding the ... fantastical elements of the story in a believable way.

While some jokes contain sexual content, they are tastefully done and should not be disturbing to most viewers. Fans of sci-fi and comedy will find this anime a must-watch, as it balances both genres exceptionally well.

I believe others will enjoy this series for its unique blend of humor, art, and storytelling, even if they aren't typically fans of the genre.

Mixed Feelings

I want to like this. I do. Unfortunately, there is just too much nonsense for that to be possible.

There are too many repetitious scenes and behaviors that just get under my skin. They don't even try to hide the fact that that's what they're doing and it makes some of the episodes drag badly. The show can get serious and do serious things and do it well, as in episode 12, but there's not enough substance to carry an episode. There is just too much crap. I won't be watching the second season, though I'm sure that there is hope for it once the finale ... gets going.

I'm going to slap a mixed feelings on this because it might be somebody's cup of tea, though I personally would not advocated if somebody asked for a referral.

Sadly another anime, another show that just isn't for me.

I mainly select most of my animes to watch of top lists, ratings on anime sites, and try to look for something at least that will keep me interested, this pretty much failed in it.
I know there are people out there who love the type of comedy it offers, but to me, the show was a bag of trash layered with a steaming pile of dog shit.

The show pretty much seems to float around protecting our MC as option 2, and the path to the lewd otaku as the main part of two as is it ... is limited how much if at all aliens can take of it from the earth. It is almost as if this is how they predict normal human behavior.

If you're in tropey jokes of pokemon etc, your typical tsundere male uninterested in women, etc, your fine or jokes about food from alien territories. Fine. Me I just got annoyed how repetitive the jokes were, after being bad jokes and situations in the first place.

Supposed NYaruko is sent to protect our MC, but as the story goes on, being around him seems to draw more and more problems from various aliens whether they come in peace or as enemies. As much as it pushes as a harem, its OTT mocking of how much harem members love an MC just was too OTT and the constant level of throwing themselves at each other made it feel like trash, as our MC rejects all.

The idea of the story was fine but badly rolled out. The action was fine if you like OP/d MCs, I can't say I do. When you got multiple ones of them too, just makes battles predictable and the show a bit boring. The variety of monster types in the art are fine even if the art isn't the best always. Sound fine, but to me, the enjoyment and overall were trash as the way the story was carried out.

I know some people love when an anime mocks the genre like this, or what i hope it is trying. But it wasn't for me.
