I was in your boat until I listened to that op on repeat for an hour, it hypnotized me into being hype.

Post by: Frog on April 04, 2013, 06:46:46 PM: Oh man, I wasn't a huge fan of the first season, in fact i thought it was fairly awful in parts but that song is so catchy... I might just have to pick it up again.

Stopped following the first season at ep6. Every time I look at this I wanna pick it up again even though I know it will never get anywhere.

Post by: Zerviscos on April 05, 2013, 03:12:55 PM: At first I thought it'll turn into a harem...I wasn't wrong. Well, 2 girls(1 actually in love with the other girl), and a trap.

I'm really into stuff like this, especially romantic comedy, or just plain comedy with satire. This one is definitely one of them.

Same. If it's more like the first half of series 1, then definitely want, but that romance in the second half was dreadful.

Although I freely admit that that opening is making me hype as hell.

- total screenshots taken: 90pics
- total points where I laughed so hard I had side pains: 12
- Nyaruko fanatic screaming and yelling: 7
THAT KARAOKE, THAT CTHULHU FINGER BITE, TSUGUMI WHY ARE IN THE WRONG SHOW... immediate references to W memories... immediate references to DIMENSION kick and Fourze drill kick... lol Will Smith jokes.

It's the M.I.B.'s, uhh, here come the M.I.B.'s
Here come the Men in Black
They won't let you remember
Nah nah nah

The good guys dress in black remember that
Just in case we ever face to face and make contact
The title held by me - M.I.B.
Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't blink be what was there
Is now gone, black suit with the black Ray Ban's on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against EXTRATERRESTRIAL VIOLENCE

*get it? Aliens defending against extraterrestrial violence, WITH violence that are extraterrestrial to begin with.

Well Nyaruko did mention something about Accel, Key, Bird that looked like USBs...which was from Kamen Rider I guess.

Also the fact that it was AKB.
And the song title was "Ue Kara Nyaruko" a reference to their song "Ue Kara Mariko".

Some of the references are way over my head but I don't feel like it detracts from the enjoyment or anything. I'm not Japanese so I don't expect myself to understand them all!

Post by: ♛ Apher-Forte on April 08, 2013, 10:05:23 PM: Yes, this implies the director may or may not know about THE original Bewitched (as in the television show back in the 60s or something)

yeah
beautiful

I didn't like this anime very much last year or whenever, but I think it's a lot better this season. I don't think there'll be any significant character development but the gags and parodies are hilarious.

Also: this thing (http://ompldr.org/vaTN3ZQ/9a8e18ffe3148f42e4694cd31914e73b5dbfd6b5.jpg). Too cute.
Title: Re: Terror returns to Japan - Haiyore Nyaruko-san W!
Post by: Quad City QBs on April 15, 2013, 07:11:05 PM: If we're talking Nyaruko-san's idea of character development, I think I'll pass. The boilerplate romance stuff made me drop the first season (that and timing constraints.)
Title: Re: Terror returns to Japan - Haiyore Nyaruko-san W!
Post by: Edible on April 15, 2013, 07:13:22 PM: Yeah, character devlopment really isn't nyarlko's strong point. Last season proved that pretty well.

If they keep to the gags and the comic violence, I will be so okay with that.

Post by: Zerviscos on April 17, 2013, 10:02:48 AM: REFERENCE TIME!!! [Episode 2]

-When Mahiro picked up a book named "The Diety's Memo Pad", it was referring to a JLN, "Heaven's Memo Pad"
-When Kuuko said "Our troubles are always Darkness", which was actually a pun(cause of how 'To-Love-Ru' and 'Trouble' are pronounced in Nihongo - toraburu) referring to the manga/anime "To-Love Ru Darkness"
-And...obviously more Kamen Rider references

Post by: Prody on April 17, 2013, 07:15:52 PM: Reference list for episode 2 (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20627725)

Most prominent references for me were the duel masters card rarities and toshokan sensou portions as stated directly in the episode title.

Also, goddamn it it requires a Ganbaride move to activate Hasuta...
Title: Re: Terror returns to Japan - Haiyore Nyaruko-san W!
Post by: Amraphenson on April 22, 2013, 07:16:51 PM: True King in Yellow would be a reference to Hastur, I think, and the play that inspired Hastur.

Hastur is an Old One in Lovecraftian mythos. The King In Yellow is a play written by Hastur (that is also Hastur himself, and about himself) that, when performed, drives the players and the audience mad. Hastur is also known for wearing a mask.
