Anime Review: Haiyore! Nyaruko-san

"I'm Nyarlathotep, the creeping chaos always smiling beside you." One of your typical everyday harem animes. This particular anime casts an ordinary boy named Mahiro who just wants to live out his normal high school days. He’s in for a surprise when he’s targeted by monsters from the Cthulhu mythology but is in for an even bigger surprise when he is protected by one of them, Nyarlothotep or Nyaruko for short. Well here’s my review on the anime, let’s Nya!

Story: 6
As with most harem animes, there really is no plot whatsoever. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san is definitely no exception. If you enjoy repetitiveness and practically the same jokes being told over and over, then I guess you have no real reason to hate the story. However, as with most people, I prefer new things happening occasionally as well with all the “lovey-dovey” that goes around in this anime.

Art and Sound: 9
Anime began looking good (and where they are today) since typically around 2008. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san being made in 2012 should have no trouble keeping up this standard and to their extent, they do. The art is cool and flashy with animations good enough to keep kids in school. I have to admit though, that their music is absolutely one of my favorites. Oh! Nya! Oh! Nya!

Characters: 6
As much as I adore harem animes, this wasn’t one. Well, I mean, your typical one with a typical cast. No Haiyore! Nyaruko-san brings a lot more to the plate. For some that’s good, but for others, ehh well, let’s just say it’s weird. I don’t want to dig into the details, but if you’re interested in the cast you can always check the anime out.

Overall: 7

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san is a twelve episode anime with good laughs and has some (and I mean some) really sweet moments. On top of the weirdly characterized cast and occasional monster fights, there really aren’t many differences from your other typical harem animes. If you’re interested in a wide cast of unique people, comedy, occasional action, and random romance, then this anime is for you.
