Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, Boy meets Great Old One

Are low prices even a thing in Japan...?

"Ruuhii Jisutoun"? Seems like she's called "Kuuru". Will be disappointed if she isn't a kuurudere rimshot.

This is the entire appeal of the show for me, other than Asumin that is. It's one of those tongue-in-cheek shows that knows exactly what it's doing: it's cliched for the sake of being cliche. But man, speaking of Asumin, is there anyone who does that pouty getting bullied voice better?

No, it's describing her "cool" demeanor.

kūdere (クーデレ?)
A character type, mostly of a female character, who is normally cold and unassuming but later reveals a softer and kinder side.

Clearly the subs for this show should include the sped up bits.

When I read merchandise advertising for anime, it sounds like Mel Brooks.

That's what I get for not bothering to really read it
Need to learn more kanji.

Seems like the Japanese refer to Cthulhu as クトゥルフ (Kuturufu).

On another note. I was thinking that "lets have a baby" was just the twin-tails being silly but considering that underneath they are really those monster-type aliens maybe they actually can have babies...

But how would they prepare and serve it?

Lovecraftian critters are not constrained by minor things like gender. I would be more surprised if they couldn't have kids together than if they could.

Hah, that one blind sided me a little.

Haven't you heard of R'chael R'yleh?

Mom: "I'll be home in 40 seconds" = Biggest buzz kill EVAR!

Please ignore any posts you may have seen that somehow ended up in this thread by mistake. I'm not sure how I managed to post about a different series altogether in here, but this is obviously not the anime I meant to talk about. I must be more tired than I thought.

Episode 4 had a lot of things that were great, but the one thing that caused me to burst out laughing was the 'dunwich sandwich'.

that took a second to kick in...

i missed his post for some reason. lol.

anyway, ep4 was pretty fun. more of the same, that said. i probably should rewatch it since i kind of dozed off a couple times.

least we now know where he learned how to give such a good forking...

I wouldn't be surprised if the "Yes/No" pillow went up for sale at some point
Very loose translation (e.g. the intent of it):
Yes: "Bring it!"
No: "Sometimes 'no' also means 'yes'."

Mom's a diety hunter huh? You can see his little view of the world around him begin to crumble.

Only as a part time job...

And by "view of the world", you of course mean his SAN.

I only recently saw the first episode. I can't really say how I feel about this one way or another yet. Its okay, but her character hasn't drawn me in yet.
<3 that picture from 4chan.

I don't really agree with this... but I am not really familair with Nobunaga either.
However, there was a bit of a forced feel to a few things in the first episode, so it does seem like some traits were being blatantly shown to show she had his traits.
Also, while its easy to think anyone could have done what she did, if you think about the historical figures, there were several things she did that they wouldn't have done. As such, some of the typical things she did made her less like other historical figures.

What could the mysterious woman have said to Kuko to make her turn on Nyaruko like that?

What indeed. Well, anything involving giving Nyaruko to Kuuko for starters...

Were there a couple Milky Holmes references in ep4? There were certainly a few sentai show references... but I have no idea what they would be, exactly.
