Nyanpire The Animation

I have to admit, I started Nyanpire with pretty low expectations. My friend's recommendation had been a less-than-glowing "we just watched Nyanpire; it was really freakin' weird!" Going solely off of that vague statement and the rather silly title (I mean really, Nyanpire?), I started watching it without high hopes. Fortunately, I can say quite confidently that my initial impressions turned out to be wrong. That's not to say that Nyanpire isn't exactly what it sounds like: a silly collection of short episodes about a cat vampire and his friends. It's exactly that - nothing more, nothing less. But Nyanpire takes this ridiculous concept and doesit well, managing to fit less than three minutes of deliciously cute story into four and a half minute long episodes. The remaining minute and a half is devoted to an ending theme that is as enjoyable, cute, and ridiculous as the anime itself. While there was no real overarching storyline (the final episode had the opportunity to set up an actual plot, but instead opted for the cheesy ending), the plots of the individual episodes were executed smoothly enough that I didn't really mind. Each episode moved along so quickly that I always found myself surprised when it was over, while at the same time feeling completely satisfied that it had been exactly as long as it needed to be. Combined with the light touches of orchestral accompaniment and adorably simple art, Nyanpire was the perfect short anime to watch between class and while doing work without having to worry about getting completely absorbed for hours. It really is just as it appears to be on the surface, but that's by no means a bad thing. Compared to anime which try too hard to be philosophical, or go way overboard with plot twists and complex character designs, Nyanpire is refreshingly honest and simple. If you're not into the cute and silly, then Nyanpire probably isn't for you. But hey, at less than an hour of total watch time, there's no harm in giving it a try.

Nyanpire the Animation is a nondescript little anime with an odd concept, where a cat is turned into a vampire. There's not that much that's really notable about it, beyond the live action outro music video, and the fact that the titular Nyanpire doesn't abide by many of the typical vampire rules, as he frolics in the sunshine and eats copious amounts of garlic. Anyway, the story is simple hijinks that result from Nyanpire's innocence and impulsivity. It's alright, but not really actively that funny. The art is simplistic, without much character to it. It feels as though it exists simply to portray Nyanpire asdirectly as possible. The sound is generally unremarkable, though the outro song is pretty catchy. The characters are purely their archetypes, and do not do much beyond their simplest attributes. Overall, Nyanpire is only passingly entertaining, and it doesn't really hit home as something that stands out in particular.

This anime is a lot of fun. It delivers a gothic atmosphere while remaining kid friendly. Anyone can enjoy this anime, as it runs on pure cuteness. Nyanpire pulls off feel good, relaxing entertainment wonderfully. If you're looking for a chill anime to watch for Halloween, this would be a very good choice. Note that if you are looking for a intellectually challenging or "adult" anime, this is not for you. This is just a cute silly show. Great for fans of things mixing cute and dark, and cat lovers. It's a very short show, so even if you don't enjoy it, not much of your life is wasted. All that'smissing is a season 2.
