A pretty solid sequel to an already pretty solid show. It’s pretty much more of the same, fast paced slapstick and reference humor delivered very expressively which makes the entire viewing experience fun. I also appreciate how it worked out a lot of the kinks in season 1, notably with Mahrio, who is (somewhat understandably) very irritable and downright rude in the majority of his interactions in the previous season. Here he’s mellowed out a little bit more and starts to soften up on Nyaruko despite her not letting the foot off the gas in her advances.
Much like in season 1, the comedy is overwhelmingly the strong suit of this show and any attempt at progressing any semblance of a story is quickly sidelined for more gags. Personally I find this works more often than it doesn’t although…

What happens when you mix the greatness of H.P. Lovecraft and the greed of corporate execs trying to make a quick buck on Moe? Total nonsensical fun, that's what!
There's not much to say about the remarkable cultural phenomenon that is Haiyore! Nyaruko-san and its sequel, other than the fact that it's otaku pandering at its most masochistic. One way to describe the show in one word is "references," and oh boy, are there plenty of them in the next installment. It's important to realize, though, that the show is a satire of otaku culture and decides to put Lovecraft's mythology into it to make it seem more like it has different lore like all other shows like it. Thankfully with all of this in mind, the show isn't as terrible or pandering as many claims it to be.
Again the comedy of Haiyore…

The show stays the same tropey parody that sucked the first season.
Yes many things are there for people not to understand unless they watched other animes, and know the inside joke, others are just overused.
The same crappy harem style continues despite the nil points being given to each of the harem members. Imagine the harem you don't want and this is where Mahiro stands.
The same stupidity and hijinx that bored me senseless in season 1, bored me senseless in season 2. So as much as they try to push their comedy and harem, it just felt like a steamy bag of dog poo trash.
The fact no one still listens to Mahiro is more infuriating and as much as is their way of humour is pretty much stupid, if i stalked and sexually harassed someone, funny enough it wouldn't be humour. Doing it in an…

I finished rewatching this, so I feel that I should write a review as a sort of update to my initial thoughts from a long time ago. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san is a great example of how to have a gag show while still capturing the love and attention needed for the gags that they pull off. While, yes, there are moments where you've already seen the cliche numerous times, and the story isn't the most fleshed out thing ever, this benefits the show as it is able to focus on what it does best, which is to crack jokes and have a great time. Nyaruko is entertaining from the beginning to the end, and that's what makes this show so special.
Story: As stated above, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san doesn't really have a ridiculously fleshed out story line. The story that they do give is more episodal and serves to fle…

This is the obligatory second season of "Nyarko-san: Her panties drop as fast as your sanity". This isn't the actual title of the show, but it might just as well be.
It's a borderline hentai, harem comedy show centered around a group of the most horny anthropomorphised lovecraftian deities of various species and genders stalking a possibly asexual teenage boy to have themselves, or, in some cases, the boy, impregnated.
It sounds cruel and horrific, and it is. What it also is, is stunningly captivating and hilarious in its lack of dignity. The show is highly self-aware and takes advantage of not taking itself seriously in every way possible.
This is the most "anime" show you could possibly find. Example:
[MC enters room, main love interest kneeling on bed in maid costume,…

Mindless enjoyment, that is enhanced through a working knowledge of pop culture (both american and japanese)
I found this second season to fall back on many of the more common harem/ecchi tropes, but still enjoyed it. Characters have been established, and there is little development to be had. This isn't that kind of anime.
The really key point to this review, though is Nyaruko-san herself. Never have I been more irritated by a character, yet wanted that character to succeed in winning the hapless/gutless/herbivore MC's heart. I had to pause episodes I was so bothered by Nyrauko, yet I still found myself rooting for her.
Absolutely worth watching if you liked the first season, and if you haven't seen the first season then I would recommend that too.

With my review of the first season of this my main complaints were the Harem,Annoying MC, The Trap and that i think Nyaruko should have been the MC.
While the fact that this is a Harem still slightly annoy's me it's not that bad when compared to other shows with them. Harems are always annoying cause there will always be one character you like more over the others and want them to be with the MC. While i don't want Cthuko to be with the MC ( Witch has started to happen and is annoying) I do want her to be with Nyaruko. They in my opinion make the best couple of them all.
The MC while not as annoying as the 1st season doesn't mean he isn't as annoying. There just isn't much likable about him. He tends to be overly rude to the girls of the show and you start to question his sexuality. Esp…

Never in my life did I think that Haiyore! Nyaruko-san would get a sequel but here we are. I won't sugarcoat this; it's garbage.
Story: 3/10
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W is by far one of the most generic shows I have seen in some time. Its first season was barely passable as an anime and by god this season remains the same. The story picks off directly after the first with Mahiro housing crime fighting Nyaruko, Cthuko, and Hasuta. A bunch of stuff happens where the gang has to defeat bad guys bla bla bla. While I wish I could tell you what they did this season…I cannot recollect what the hell went on. I was just so mind numbingly bored that nothing really stuck through. The whole Nyaruko crushing on Mahiro continues this season with Cthuko even edging towar…

Do you shout at your vacuum cleaner?
Do you want more stupidity in your life?
Do you have any sanity points left?
Do you think Lovecraft would be better with a lot more Kamen Rider and Space CQC?
Sit your ass down and turn off your brain, just not too much, because you will need it for all the references. If you liked Nyaralthotep S1, this is just more of the same absurd jokes and premises. After all, who doesn't want, no NEED, more video game and Cthulhu mythos in their life?
Don't expect any big reveals, revelations, or character progression--everyone's pretty much the same and the stupid adventures are just as stupid.
If I can find any criticism, is that Mahiro (the protagonist/love interest) has given up the straight man act this season, which was one of the funniest parts of S1,…

Somehow despite having two subpar experiences with this franchise prior to this series, I found myself yet again giving the devoted Nyaruko one more shot.
Nyaruko is a series that you need to watch with a certain frame of mind. Forget intricate stories and forget meaningful character development, this series is all about fun and making fun of stuff. The second season of Nyaruko is essentially more of what you found in the first season, which is a lot of nonsense, a lot of girl-girl and guy-guy relationships, and a lot of parodies of other series. If you like Nyaruko's over-the-top personality, she will most likely be enough to carry you through the season. While an interesting ride overall, the second season doesn't contribute much plot-wise on top of the first season. In short, this is a…

2014 couldnt start better!! I have watch alot of different anime, and I have a taste for lots of different things on anime, I like smart, well thought, with character and story plots anime... and I like anime that doesnt care about those 4 points I just stated but that still entertains you! IF BY ANY MEANS you are looking for any one of those 4 points in this series, I suggest you just skip it! This is crazy japonese harem madness (generally harems arent much my thing, but this anime is a few of those exceptions)!! Almost nothing, if something at all, that happens in Nyaruko-san series is on check with reality!! Truly a japonese anime, they dont hold anything back on this (dont expect this to be a ecchi show like To LOVE-Ru thought, Xebec another production), I have watch all of To LOVE-Ru…

May contain some slight spoilers.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W being the sequel of Haiyore Nyaruko-san gains it's character names in chtulhu mythos. Being character based series there is basically no meaningful plot. Plot driven by series of short arcs lasting from one episode to maximum of three episodes. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san follows simple pattern in progression of the story. First the event is introduced, then we have some attempt at building up tension only to end up in absurd anticlimax. The ridiculousness of the anticlimax divides people maybe to two groups ones who laugh and to ones who stare dazed trying not to cry. Being the former group I enjoyed this series. Nyaruko-san has it's "deeper" moments which take up 5 whole minutes out of twelve episodes. For the plot i would give: 2 but to…
