Haiyoru! Nyaruani: Remember My Love (Craft-sensei) TV episode 01
這いよる!ニャルアニ リメンバー・マイ・ラブ(クラフト先生)
SPOILER Summary/Synopsis
A girl with gray hair named Nyarlko has made breakfast for a teen male whom she addresses as “Mahiro-san” and for whom she makes sexually suggestive statements. A red-haired girl enters (Cthuko?) and states that Nyarlko should have her while the boy has breakfast. Nyarlko blows that suggestion off, suggesting that Mahiro eat some sausage. When a small dragon-creature eats it and collapses panting heavily, Mahiro sees that the food has been spiked. When confronted, Nyarlko acts innocent. The red-haired girl and a girl in a black kimono eat these spiked sausages and express a positive reaction to them.
In space, a Borg cube approaches Earth, which apparently has 70 days left.
Thoughts/Review
OK. Well, I guess this is all there is and a massive disappointment it is too.
When I selected this anime as one of the two new ones I would watch, I did so because the description made it sound like Mahiro was being chased by aliens, saved by Nyarlko, a girl who is actually Cthulhu as Nyarlko can take any form she chooses. To me, that sounded interesting. Instead, what we got was a 2-minute comedy centering around sexual innuendo and overt sexual references with some characters unnamed and an ending suggesting aliens are coming in a spacecraft looking like a Borg cube from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Meh! I had hoped that the first episode would actually be the ONA put on TV but I guess not.
Episode 2 is also a short so I guess that’s how the series is. Bummer but I’ll watch just because.
