Haiyoru! Nyaruani
Short Synopsis: Our lead character is a lovecraftian alien. Or at least that’s what she supposed to be.
This was just terrible, in every single way. This episode was pretty much three minutes of random talking with the characters trying to make jokes, with a huge emphasis on “trying”. The jokes were lame as hell, and to make matters worse the voice cast was completely hamming it up, making the jokes even worse. The animation is terrible. What happened to the times in which flash anime like Hanoka had some actual ambitions. Just skip this. What kind of TV station is crazy enough to air this kind of crap anyway? Even though this is the first new series of the Winter Season, I have no doubt that this will be the worst out of all of them.
ED: Why is this so long? Why the heck does this have conventional animation? It’s still crap, though.
Potential: -50%
Some Quick First Impressions: Haiyoru: Nyaruani
I’m pretty sure that this is not the Nyarlko anime, which has not started yet – it’s just a series of shorts that were distributed online to promote the light novels.
@wererat42
If only that was true. I’m almost 100% sure it is the actual 1st episode. Kind of disappointing considering how the episode was only 4 minutes and 15 seconds long, and that’s including the ED theme and next episode preview.
The actual episode was around 2 minutes long, all filled with random gags and stuff.
This is 這いよる! ニャルアニ which is 9 short anime episode that sold with DramaCD as a gift from last year. Those short videos were uploaded on niconico douga as a part of promotion, so wererat42 was correct.
The real anime series is call 這いよる! ニャルアニ リメンバー・マイ・ラブ（クラフト先生）which is full length 24min episodes.
Considering it airs at 00:30 +9GMT, it hasn’t even been on for more than a few minutes, much less a raw already being distributed.
@KL
Hmm, I stand corrected I guess. I wonder why it’s been labeled as episode 01 when I checked my sources. Maybe it’s supposed to be like a preview video or something… 😡
Um, I’m afraid to say it, but the version I checked out was called 這いよる! ニャルアニ リメンバー・マイ・ラブ 第01話 (I just shortened it because I didn’t feel like typing that really long title), and this was significantly different from episode 1 of the OVA that premiered on Nico Nico Douga.
Also, when you say that it airs at 00:30 +9 GMT, remember that there is a time difference. In my experience (I’m currently at GMT + 1), the really fast raws for shows like these always start popping up at around 20:00.
I realize the time difference, the problem is that I looked at the GMT-9 clock instead by accident. Oops.
But yeah it seems that I now agree with psgels review. Two minutes of flash animation with a (bad) ending that looks like they put 100 times the work into that compared to the main story. Why would they even bother to air something like this on TV…
If they had produced a proper full length NON flash episode, I might have enjoyed this series.
I wonder whether they’re trying to imitate Suzumiya Haruhi, by doing a first bad episode. There’s no reason to start off so badly when the ED suggests that they’re capable of much more.
@wererat42
I agree with you. in these 4 minutes episode there’s a scene that shows “70/63/56 days remaining until the humans become extinct” in each of three episodes, and as the new episode come out, the numbers began decreasing 7 days, or a week. Each episode came out each week, so, the numbers shows when the true Nyarlko anime will be released.
