[Notable pickings: consistency: 4 l harem: 7 l romance: 3 l cat content: 8 l school life: 5 l fantasy & supernatural: 6 ]
This series is particularly weak at romance, harem is a bit over. Unrequited love scenes are quite common, and concept of moe is strong (look at OP).
Story:8
Original story about someone who is cursed, but is weak against the attributes of the curse and even have to repenting thru doing things weak to the guy. However, note: Allergies, curse, fear of cats are inconsistent throughout the series, they come and go.
Storyline was pretty original for the episodes introducing the characters, and had kept the main focus on track throughout the series. However, after introduction of the characters, there was a lot of harem and fanservice.
A lot of content other than the main plot was added, thus the main plot was not fully developed, and only in the last few episodes were there complications regarding the pliot and finally a climax. Halfway felt like Hiyoko Brand anime, kinda mono. Romance was scarace since the harem seemed mostly stagnant.
Ending was kinda rushed and unsatisfactory. Cliffhangers remain, especially with the harem.
One bonus to this anime is that the atmosphere/mood stayed relatively constant throughout the series compared to Princess Diaries, and it is overall quite a relaxing series.
Art:9
Art was good especially with some special effects, like the magical shoujo episode and the climatic scene in the last episode. The rest were good, though nothing spectecular.
Sound:9
Kudos to the OP and ED. The lyrics of OP was especially well written and the ED was extremely fitting with the series, and there were tons of characters and cats in the story, which the voices brought out the personalities well with.
However, there were a lot of parts where some bgm could have made the mood better instead of mere narration.
Character:7
Way too many characters, too little development, even on some of the main ones. Character distribution throughout the series was rather random, some disappear for a few episodes before being involved again, while Junpei's father just come and go.
Characters' personalities were rather stable throughout the series, although lack of development made the whole series a little over on-the-surface.
The main male character had a cat allergy, yet he seemed unaffected for most of the times he makes contact with cats. Plus the curse didn't seem to deteriorate until the last few episodes.
And on a last note, there were a lot of personalities presented, making the harem interesting yet complex: tsundere, airhead, sadist, etc.
Enjoyment:7
Well, I enjoyed OP and ED and Mewview very much as they tell you 1 fun fact about cats every week. The relaxed mood of the series was good too, not much serious harem vying or so on. But, the lack of romance movement spoils the mood, with some of the main characters not confessing and not responding even when they knew their feelings for each other.
However, halfway through the series, I realised that there was only one main plot moving: helping 100 cats so that the curse can be broken (well this is in the 1st episode so I dun think this is a spoiler, plus later on they dun even care about the number anymore).
And eh... there were some conditions attached to it, but only in the last few episodes do you see the conditions being activated. And even in the last few episodes you still can see fan service. All in all, the plot is disappointing and this hurts the enjoyment.
But if you like cats you should like this series much more than me :D .
Overall:8
Actually is 6-8. I gave this series a 8 cos it was presented well, although there were some flaws with the content. Cats were heavily featured in this series, although some scenes with the cats seem strange.
Ending was pretty strange (given how the curse was broken), along with cliffhangers in relationships and poor ending of the romance between the main characters.
Plus: At the 11 min of the last episode of Nyan Koi, "Um, there's no season 2" was said by Minoru in one commercial scene. Then come the last few mins of the episode, and there was some hints of a second season. This is confusing, isn't it?
