Nyan Koi!

I must say that after the first 3 or 4 episodes I was really going for an 8 (Very Good) , but slowly I dropped at 4-5.This "romance/comedy" anime was one of those dissapointing shows where the producers failed miserably to develop new and unique ideas that could attract watchers. Story: 3 - Poor Yes it's the same old storyline with a boy , that is surrounded by girls and has an unexpected experience that changes the way he interacts with others.Nyan Koi has by far 1 or 2 romantic moments and the "comedy" moments can only make you laugh about how bad these scenes were made. Therelations between the characters is simple , as Junpei doesn't get to approach them very much (few exceptions).And when you think finally something interesting happens the moment gets ruined by another character (including the cats).In some cases this could be considered funny (depending on what's happening) but after countless times it gets boring and it's not even "funny" , so we can't even think about enjoying this. Art: 6 - Fair When I watch an anime I don't really care about art but indeed there are a few points that need some attention. Well, the characters were pretty easy to remark since they where indeed made to look different from each other , but nothing that can catch your eye was in. The design of the cats was better (um..yes better) then the characters' one: a twist of colours for each cat making it easy to remark even in a croud of cats and again, everything was defined in a boring way that doesn't attracts your eye. Sound: 3 - Poor The opening/ending songs are pretty lame and practically sends to the watcher "waves" of confusion (I mainly talk about the lyrics of the opening song) since it's not even a true love triangle (if you watched animes where there is a good accent on love triangle you know what I mean) and the curse is not an opportunity or even help to Junpei for almost all episodes. Character: 5 - Mediocre The characters of this series are totally predictable after watching them in action for like 5 minutes.Junpei is your nice doggy when he's around Kaede that is happy but still doesn't know how to express this (well he's a human in this anime so being incapable to discuss with the person you like it's not comic or romantic). Kaede is your innocent anime girl, with a childish look that could make almost all boys fall for her (in the anime of course).Of course , this innocence is taken to an extreme in situations like: talking about love, discussing with the boy she likes, understanding the meaning of things related to love, etc.She's the type of girl that would say in the middle of a Nyan Koi episode:"Junpei, will you let me wait for you in season 2 , too?". "Kana-chan" is the final person completing the so-called love triangle that realize that she loves Junpei , can't confess , but she manifests in different ways.I would say that she is the most normal person from the love triangle when taking things serious and her "cons" are excessivly "attacking" Junpei and of course incapacity to make him understand what she feels. (but I guess that goes for this kind of anime , excepting one thing: see Nyan Koi , genres, ROMANCE). In this case, Junpei it's the brainless one too because he tries figuring out something at some point ..but of course fails. Kotone and Akari are just 2 more characters added to fill the story and make it more boring.Of course they chain some events to them so we can't say they can miss from the anime. After watching the whole anime I really think the best character was Nyamsus (seriously). Overall: 3 - Poor I can't say I enjoyed this anime.For normal people that aren't addicted to this genre and just look an anime I frankly tell you to search another one because this isn't worth wasting your time.For people addicted to comedy/rom/harem I tell you the same thing a bit more detailed.This isn't your com/rom/har anime , it's just a pathetic fail that tries to impress the watchers with lame and hilarious scenes. In conclusion I truly regret watching this and I don't recommand it to you!

First of all, i must said, this review based on my opinion and the enjoyment i got from the anime, if you think i am wrong, well,,, thats just my opinion. and i am gonna just straight to the point without any babbling in my review, so, here we go! Nowdays, harem is the kind of mainstream genre that easily can make it into a top anime. since, what do you need is big boobs, pantsy scenes, and of course beautiful girl.... well, thats the truth. Including Nyan Koi, this harem anime is maybe like another harem anime that you've ever watch, BUT WAIT! how about harem +cat? hmm..... thats WORKS! STORY : 8/10 The story involves about the man who is been cursed by cat statue because of some accident, and for erase that curse, that man aka Junpei, must grant 100 wishes from cats or he will turned into a cat! - The story itself makes me interest to watch it, since usually harem anime is focussing on the development between each character, and for this anime is focussing on how Junpei cure the curse but i didnt said there aren't any development, there are. but its just the "side dish". - The jokes itself is refreshing, i mean i laughed a lot when watching this anime. the jokes really got the spot. - Its a light story, so its easy to understand. you dont have to think too much to see this anime. - Usually, based on what i seen, the "main story" just come in early minutes. like when minutes 1 - 13 and the others is just the fillers. but i didnt mind, since what i seek is "Enjoyment" ART 9/10 - Here is, the strongest point of this anime. the artwork of character seems so mature, and its so different between another harem anime which is usually using "kid" character. - The background is so well made. rich colours,and again, the character artwork. SOUND 7/10 - The opening of the nyan koi, is surely attractive. "Nyanderful" is so fit with the anime itself. The lyrics i mean. - As for BGM, i think its just so so. there is nothing special on it. - The OP and ED is surely attractive, but for myself, but it doesnt so catchy. so dont expect too high on this OP or ED. CHARACTER 8/10 - In this anime, we have a tsundere girl, a twin, a machosist, and a cute girl. What else? its just full of unique girls. Well, Typical of harem anime. - The development between the character is maybe the biggest problem in this anime since it just got 12 episodes, but it doesnt really matter, since once again, the attractive of how Nyan Koi presents of the character is surely interesting in so many ways. Overall 8/10 - If you really like with harem anime, this will be worth to try. since, it was interesting for me if i should say, i've never enjoyed harem anime this much. - one more thing, You better put this anime into your PTW. lol.

Nyan Koi had me hook, line and sinker at the part about cats. In fact, that was the sole reason I picked this up, blinded by my usual bias towards these kinds of things. Which is why I had no idea what I was getting in to. Arguably, it was probably for the best, since I wouldn't be expecting too much out of it. Despite the fact that most of the story was episodic at best, there was some semblance of a plot. Given the premise of our fearless protagonist trying to remove a curse from himself all the while trying tomaintain the masquerade in front of anyone else out of the loop and chasing after his clueless crush, the set up was thrown aside pretty quickly in favour of the standard romantic comedy episodes; which are not bad by themselves but it is kind of a shame. I thought it was going to evenly split the attention between the the cats and the girls but in the end the plot ended up putting emphasis on only half of the premise. The better half of man that is. During my time following the show, there seemed to be only two choices of which are, introduce new character, or silly harem-induced hijinks. That is, until the last two episodes. I bet the writers (since the anime differs from the manga plotwise, mostly) suddenly remembered that our dear protagonist was cursed. In the supposed finale, I was waiting for them to milk the drama for all its worth, but, apparently it isn't worth a lot given the amount of time it took to resolve the mess and it let me down. Any consolation for the poor overall plot is in the form of a sequel hook. The art is a different story. Its colourful, solid and bold. In fact, a lot of our protagonist's feline friends are even well drawn and animated like the cutesy critters that cats are. It is hard to find fault in the art for Nyan Koi even as it shifts style for various effects. Sound is also an artful triumph. Though I don't follow Voice Actors, I have to give mad props to Yuu Kobayashi, Nagi's VA, who does stellar job of conveying the two extremes of character. As for the normal background sound, we get various subtle but catchy and instantly recognisable tunes. They'll burrow in to your ear and enhance the action on screen like any good soundtrack does. Character-wise, its unsound; the majority of characters are not given much in this department. If there were any development it seemed I missed it. In fact, a main offender of a rather typical archetype is Mizuno, the ditzy little lady that our protagonist has crushed on since they entered high school together. To some, its always nice to see a cutesy character who seems to be perpetually locked out of a loop, to others, its "been there, done that." As it all centres around our male protagonist the developments the harem has towards him is almost boringly predictable. The near uni-dimensional nature of the characters extends to our supporting cast as well, but that's to be expected. Flaws aside, it is supposed to elicit a chuckle and be enjoyed moment by moment. And chuckle I did. In fact, the nature in which I enjoyed it reminded me of another anime with humour in the same vein (which I also greatly enjoyed). Since its a quickie, it works well for me. Also, I love cats, so if all else fails, the cats will at the very least distract me, in a good way, with their presence. If you are not looking for some nice and quick laughs, you might want to pass. Best summed up as came for the cats, and stayed for the silly antics, and cats. Oh before I forget, did I mention I love cats?

So have you ever wondered what would happen if you pissed off a animal’s shrine? They are just like human shrines and would curse you of course. That’s pretty much how this story starts. A guy breaks a shrine for a cat and so is cursed by being able to talk to cats. Wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t allergic. Add this to a slice of life school life anime like this and well…. you have Nyan Koi. What kind of family would keep a cat when their son is allergic to them? At least get him some meds or something for it becauseit’s really taking over his life. They are jerks in that aspect. Almost all the people around him are jerks to a pretty big extent. Take for example Kanako who is a perfect example of a Tsundere character. She always fights with him, even when she finds out what she hated him for was her own misunderstanding. All the characters are pretty much normal characters you would expect from a school life anime. The dunce love interest, the Tsundere and childhood friend, the crazy butch girl, the stacker, and the almost nonexistent male friends for the main character… It’s a basic romance. And then there is the random mail carrier who always gets lost. She has pretty much no reason to even be part of the show, just for comedic affect I guess. The animation is pretty ok, looking very similar to that of newer shows but you can tell that something isn’t exactly right. I’m not really sure what it is but as I sit and watch the show, it leaves a strange feeling when looking at the art style. Its that little bit of something off that makes this show hard to watch, not just because of the voices that I will get to in a bit. Weather it’s the faces looking a bit too pointy, Junpei’s eye balls looking really small, or even the background… I just can’t get into how the designs are for this show. The English voices are very close to ear shattering with how that script was made. Sometimes I want to bang my head against the desk with out annoying many of the characters sound including the main character. They all just sound stupid and the only thing that seems to save it (And that is very rare) is when Nyamsus talks about some things even though she has the voice of a smoker. Marcy Bannor who dubs her sounds like a raspy old timer. I guess that’s what she needed to be but it’s hard to listen to against all the other voices. Junpei sounds like a typical guy and yet seems to be too loud no matter what he is doing. Even when he’s trying to be quiet, he has a forceful tone that is way to loud for it like he has one volume. Kaede sounds like a dunce, especially when talking to Junpei. In fact, I think she is the only one out of the whole world who does not get that Junpei has a crush on her. That is exactly how she sounds too. You might say that’s good script writing or dubbing but it’s hard to listen to the whole time. That and Kanako screaming and fighting all the time and you make one show that is very hard on the ears. It was a ok show but I couldn’t marathon it. Between the animation and the voice acting, it just seemed to whittle me down. And like most shows that are based on the manga, they didn’t even give it a second season to have a decent ending.
