Chalk this one up as another ending that wasn’t. I’ll always have a real affection for Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, because it was the first series that really went at Ishihara Shintaro head on, and the only one that’s savaged him the way he deserves to be savaged. That episode in the […] Read more
Han Megumi is all mixed up with giant bugs everywhere you look these days… Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 11 All in all I think this was one of the livelier and funnier eps of the second season of Haiyore!, with Nyaruko at probably the least annoying she’s been at any […] Read more
Sengoku warlords just keep turning up in the strangest places. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san – 10 I’ll say this much for Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, it’s definitely embraced the stupid unreservedly again. I think the humor is about the same as it was in the first season, but a little bit of the novelty […] Read more
It’s nice to be right from time to time. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 09 Another fairly forgettable episode of Haiyore this week, though it was just about saved with some more fireworks between Kuuko and Mahiro there at the end. I think one issue with this series is that among […] Read more
She’s back, whether you want her or not… Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 08 It’s official: I pretty much like everyone better as a potential romantic partner for Mahiro than Nyaruko – including a guy, his mother and now a Shantak. Nothing too fancy going on with Haiyore! this week, but […] Read more
Yep, definitely still in Kuuko’s camp. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san – 07 Not even Cthulhu Deities are immune from the immutable power of table tennis, but Haiyore! is back after its short hiatus this week with a pool episode that pretty much continues the theme and style of the second season uninterrupted. […] Read more
I don’t think I reacted to this development in Haiyore! as I was intended to. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 06 I don’t tend to think much of the episodes where Haiyore! Nyaruko-san tries to get serious, but this is one of the better examples so far. It certainly isn’t thanks […] Read more
Cyclone! Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 05 I haven’t generally been all that crazy about the character-driven episodes of Haiyore! – or is the plot-driven ones? In any event, less drive and more comedy is usually the forumla for success here, but for an ep that was plot and character heavy […] Read more
Why is is that the little ones are scarier than the big ones when it comes to mushi? Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 04 I must confess I find the episodes focused around Tamao and Yoichi to be consistently boring, and this one was no exception. More so than with almost […] Read more
The folks behind Kamisama no Memochou must be thrilled, because the series hasn’t gotten this much free pub since the anime went off the air. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 03 It struck me this week that Haiyore! is really sort of cheating – in a way, they’ve found a loophole […] Read more
