Nyaruko: Crawling with Love/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Actor Allusion]]

** Yoriko ([[Aya Hisakawa]]) has referenced [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Mercury's]] rollcall phrase "[douse yourself in water and] you should apologize" and [[Catch Phrase]] "Let's analyze that".

** The only difference between Cthugha and [[Hayate no Gotoku|Isumi Saginomiya]] are the lines themselves, they have the [[Miyu Matsuki|same delivery.]]

** When Nyarko sends out Shantak-kun [[Pokémon (anime)|poke-ball]], she copies Ash Ketchum, minus the hat spinning.

** In an episode of the first anime series, Cuuko mentions the line "swans look calm but are actually kicking furiously under the water" while a Fender bass guitar floats on the background, a reference to ''[[K-On!]]'''s first season ED song lyrics.

*** The third episode exclamations (Pazuzu, Nalagiri and Tezcatlipoca) are from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' (Nyarlathotep is a character there, too).

*** Fourth episode has only one yelp (Eroba!), this one from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''

** R'lyehland's mascot, Insmouthboy, looks a lot like another fish-boy, [[Ponyo]]

** The "trapezohedrons are unbreakable" from episode three is both yet another reference to ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' ("Diamonds are unbreakable") and the "shining trapezohedron" from Lovecraft's ''The Haunter in the Dark''.

** In the first episode, replace the miso soup bowl with a beer can and you get a perfect reference to ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' Misato Katsuragi's [[Beergasm]] moment. Also, Luhi makes the Ikari Gendo pose right down to the [[Scary Shiny Glasses]].

** Luhi Siston drives a [[Back to The Future|Delorean]] that leaves fire tracks when reaching warp-speed.

** Nyarko's car can use a ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''-style MAP attack.

** In episode five Hasta says he wants to "combine" with Mahiro. At the end of the preview for the next episode, Mahiro asks why Nyarko hasn't made a "combine" robot joke this time: Nyarko answers that "it was a little too adult". Of course, there's a [[Humongous Mecha]] series where mecha "combining" has a [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] quality, ''[[Sousei no Aquarion]]''. Hasta also has an unusually sharp sense of smell, just like Aquarion's Apollo, and he makes an absurdly long-reach love promise with Mahiro, too.

*** It should be noted that ''gattai'' [[Double Entendre|can mean just that.]]

*** Cuuko does a pretty good [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Ryoko Asakura]] impersonation, sans the [[Stepford Smiler|cheerful disposition]] and plus a [[BFS]] for Ryoko's knife.

*** This is immediately followed by Nyarko in a [[Playboy Bunny]] getup attempting to play the Lovecraftian version of "God Knows".

*** In the fight scene, Nyarko is dressed as [[Virtua Fighter|Pai Chan]], Cuuko as either [[Dead or Alive|Kasumi]] or [[Fatal Fury|Mai Shiranui]], and Hasta as [[Guilty Gear|Bridget]]. The stats given are their actual ones from the [[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]] RPG.

*** The [[Gay Option]] ending from ''True Love 95'' gets brought up as a possible route by Yoriko, who tells her son that even Yoichi, his [[Bromantic Foil]], might confess to having feelings for him, just like how Kazuhiko Miyoshi, the foil in that game, did the same towards the end of the game if the player was unable to choose a girl for Daisuke.
