The first Nyaruko it does not appear a second series, the atmosphere seems to be that of the first season, and as if I had never stopped to wait for the second season began. How do I start it was fun, especially the couple NyarukoXKuuko review XD I hope it's better than the first! ^ ^

Ah yes, Nyaruko is back! The only thing Mahiro does is whine still, but I enjoyed her comeback nonetheless. Seems like Mahiro has a new fan too. Wonder what happened to her.

Oh and of course all the references!

Yayyy~~ hopefully Mahiro will accept her this time around. Nyaruko being awesome as usual.

I caught about a billion references in this episode.

5/5, amazing as usual.

The VA cast for this show is top-notch.

Asumi Kana is awesome and it is nice to see Rie Kugimiya in a dere role instead of a tsundere role.

It was also nice to see Mahiro at least put forth a reason why he doesn't trust Nyaruko, even if it wasn't really flushed out properly. The biggest failure of this show, is the inability of the director to make Mahiro a more likeable character.

He doesn't even need to change his actions. They just need to be explained better. I am hopeful the second season will do this.

I actually noticed a reference that was missed on the NyaruReferences site. at 19:08 Hastur said "Even if you hate me, please don't hate Mahiro-kun." It's a line from one of the members of AKB48 and was also used in the anime AKB0048.

EDIT: Looks like they got it in the comments at the end, never think you're the first one to notice something, you'll only be disappointed :(

So glad to see this show is back, I managed to notice about 4-5 of the references! Progress.

You know what I thought was the best in this episode? Well, like Nyaruko in general? Her facial expressions. They are among the best in anime.

also, yggdrasil dew was pretty clever.

Way too many references to follow... ended up spending almost 2 hours watching this episode as I kept checking the references that kept popping up, from Gundam, to Kamen Rider, to Cthulhu mythology and RPG, to all those publication by GA Bunko (I see Nourin, Nobuna, Polyphonica, and of course OreShura), to unexpectedly a bunch of AKB48 references.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yes! Nyarlko and Cthuko are back and they're as awesome as ever. Lol at all the hilarious and random antics that went on in this episode. Great stuff as always. And lmao at that so called "rock-paper-sissors" final.

Loved that move by Nyarlko to get themselves cramped in a locker together. Soooo close to getting another kiss :(.

Nyaroko's Back beaches!
Been waiting like a boss for this.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

This was pretty funny right away, I expected some stupid introduction but it was great comedy right away. There is a shitload of fan service though, the first season had less than this IIRC.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh after that episode, I'm really not sure if I want to continue this series. That Lucky Star reference made me cringe like a motherfucker. Nothing AT ALL against Lucky Star (hence my avatar) it was just extremely poorly done and very out of place. Almost inappropriate. After finishing the first season I feel like I've watched nothing. I mean, so little happens. I often found myself bored of watching Nyarko-san. Meh, I might finish the second season.....I don't know.

Catching this show back up after a good 3/4 of a year and well I must say I quite liked it, while it was pretty random and didn't had a vast structure what I remember from the first season was pretty much the same so well it's off with a good start so lets see what this season has to offer!
