Robazoid 09/24/22 4:24:44 PM #197:	120. Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos https://myanimelist.net/anime/11785/Haiyore_Nyaruko-san Spring 2012 (12 episodes), Spring 2013 (12 episodes) My Score: 6/10, MAL Score: 7.01/10 S1, 7.23/10 S2 Best Character: Nyarko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Wk_XWWa9E Premise: Yasaka Mahiro is rescued from an alien monster by a girl named Nyarko. It turns out that she is an eldritch horror too, Nyarlathotep, and she winds up moving into Mahiros house! The Good: Nyarko-san is a comedy that takes inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. I was hyped when I first heard of it since I love eldritch horror. Also, while its no secret that anime can and will turn anything into a cute girl (historical figures, animals, zodiac signs, warships), it was still neat to think itd happened to Nyarlahotep of all things. While this anime didnt do as much with the idea as it could have, it was still lots of fun! Its a mixture of a few genres. Theres fanservice and romantic comedy and occasional action where Nyarko battles horrors from beyond understanding. I mostly enjoyed the slapstick of a purposefully bland guy, Mahiro, suddenly living with zany roommates. Nyarko was my favorite. Her over-the-top lust for Mahiro was fun. Despite how powerful she was, he could always fight her off by stabbing her with forks which was a nice running gag. I also liked the slight twist that Kuuko the Cthughan was obsessed with Nyarko and not the main dude, which kept it from being a harem. The Bad: Since the H.P. Lovecraft inspiration was what drew me in initially, I was a bit disappointed that Nyarko-san didnt do more with it. It felt like eldritch horror was a coat of paint rather than something that set out to adapt anything from those works, if that makes sense. Nyarko is a Nyarlathotepian, but she couldve been any random alien and it wouldnt change much. I enjoyed catching the references (Carcosa Computer Entertainment, aw yeah). It just wasnt as much as it couldve been. Overall: Nyarko-san is an over-the-top anime with many moods and genres. I mostly enjoyed the slapstick where Nyarko was ultra annoying and Mahiro would stab her with forks and then Kuuko would get jealous. I also liked the references to stuff from H.P. Lovecraft, though Id have preferred if it was used for more. This was still a fun and zany anime. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:968266836] in Robazoid R...
