Ah, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, a parody anime talking about the existence of HP Lovecraft's cthulu monsters in female human versions of themselves in a show that's about as wacky as you can probably think of. So, with the new OVA, what's there to see? Story (7.89/10): The story for this OVA is very simple. Nyaruko, Mahiro, and co. are given tickets to a new attraction in town thanks to Tamao being suddenly given enough tickets for the entire cast. (How convenient) Upon entering this attraction, Mahiro and Nyaruko are thrown into a dangerous situation that requires them to get out, and there, wehave our story.
Since this is an OVA, the story of it doesn't really go all out, however unlike most OVA, this one actually has a more story-like aspect rather than just a random fun episode filled with fanservice or what have you. Rather, this OVA showcases our main two characters being thrown into a situation which in turn, has our signature male tsundere Mahiro, to think about the relationship he has with the strange cthulu girl that has invaded his life for about 2 seasons + 2 OVA's already.
The OVA itself ends with a bit of a cliffhanger ending, making me think that we might have something of a third season of the show (even though it's considered a sequel to W.) because at the end, it introduces us to a new character and progression with the relationship between our main two characters, but only one can hope. Still though, overall, this was a nice OVA. Nothing to really get scared over because this is Nyaruko after all, and issues in this show always seem to resolves themselves.
Overview:
+ Nice, new story
+ Character relationship progression (and it's between Nyaruko and Mahiro. That's even more surprising.)
Characters (7.77/10): Like the rest of the series before "F" here, there really isn't any change in cast. We still have Nyaruko with her lovesick/thirsty behavior towards Mahiro, we still have Kuuko and Hasuta being their normal same sex lovey selves (not that there's anything wrong with that), and the others.
The only real big change with this OVA in terms of characters is, as I've stated before, the relationship between Mahiro and Nyaruko. There is actually some progress with specifically, how Mahiro actually sees the crazy Cthulu girl, and makes some decent headway towards what we're all probably (hopefully) thinking, which is the pairing of the two. (At least, I hope I'm not the only one praying for that to happen.)
Overview:
+ Cast is the same memorable selves as they are
+ Character development
Art and Sound (7.88/10 and 7.11/10): The art for Nyaruko-san F is style-wise, relatively unchanged. There really isn't much difference in the actual style of the show, but quality-wise, since there's been a gap between the last OVA and this one, it looks significantly better, a whole lot brighter, clearer, and better quality. I like it.
In terms of sound, it's a bit of an interesting call this one. For this OVA, it's actually given rather than the original tracks from the previous season, a new set of OP and ED tracks that are completely different in terms of OP and ED visuals, and the actual track itself. What bothers me is that for some reason, they're not really as addicting or soul-crushingly annoying as the first two were (especially the first season one...), so that was a bit of a letdown.
Overview:
+ Much better art quality
+ New OP and ED tracks
- New tracks weren't all that memorable sadly
Personal Enjoyment (8.10/10): The Nyaruko series has always been a very enjoyable series to me personally. It has a lot of parodies within it, it's a wacky series that really doesn't require much thought when watching it (cause lord knows you'll be even more confused if you try and make some sense out of it), and the odd relationship between Mahiro and Nyaruko always interested me.
Did I like this OVA?
Yes, I did. It's always fun to watch a series you enjoy again with new material, so there wasn't really any reason for me to not enjoy this to some extent.
What didn't I like about this OVA?
Nothing really, except that it wasn't longer.
Would I recommend this OVA?
Yeah, if you're a fan of Nyaruko. Likewise to the rest of the series, this OVA plays out relatively the same, if not a little bit more deeper into the relationship between the characters. Personally, I hope that this isn't the end to the Nyaruko anime because tbh, with the way this ended, they're either trolling us, or hinting at it, and I hope it's the latter, because this show is really fun to watch.
Overall Score: 7.66/10
