Nyaruko: Crawling with Love: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

The series has been well-received in Japan, spawning numerous drama CDs and a nine-episode short-flash anime called ''Haiyoru! Nyarani''. An 11 episode TV flash series called '''Haiyoru! Nyarani Remember my Love(craft-sensei)''' aired in Winter 2010, followed by a traditional animation season come the [[Spring 2012 Anime Season]]. The opening for said anime would achieve [[Memetic Mutation|memetic status]] on [[Nico Nico Douga]] with the [[Ear Worm|Un! Nya! Let's GO!]] [http://youtube.com/watch?v=rv6iuCtQXkE portion of the opening].

Being a slapstick comedy based on the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], it's a pretty violent story. It is also a hurricane of anime and manga [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]] and [[Mythology Gag|Mythos-ology Gags]].

Crunchyroll has also simulcasted the anime and it [http://www.crunchyroll.com/nyarko-san-another-crawling-chaos can be found here.]

Line 39:

* [[Beach Episode]]: Episodes 6-7 of the second anime.

* [[Big Book of War]]: The Nyarlathotepians have Citizen Bright's ''Amazing! Our Space CQC''. Basically, it's summed up as "CQC is what you want it to be, even if others disagree."

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]/[[Double Standard Rape Female On Male]]: The end of Episode 6. Ultimately subverted come next episode, because Mahiro managed to fend Nyarko off [[Crazy Prepared|with a bunch of forks from beneath his futon]], then bound her onto a table beneath a bed sheet affixed by forks.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]/[[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]]: The end of Episode 6. Ultimately subverted come next episode, because Mahiro managed to fend Nyarko off [[Crazy Prepared|with a bunch of forks from beneath his futon]], then bound her onto a table beneath a bed sheet affixed by forks.

* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Nyarko practically begged to take the job of protecting Mahiro after seeing his picture.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Nyarko reminds Mahiro to be careful with that fork or they might be taken off the air in the first episode of the second anime series.

Line 64:

** Also happens with Nyarko in Episode 8.

* [[Creator Cameo]]: That little ghostly devilfish that sometimes appears in monstrous crowds or flying quickly across the screen is Aisora's avatar.

* [[Cross Dressing Voices]]

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]

** [[Only Sane Man|Mahiro Yasaka]] is voiced by [[Eri Kitamura]] -- which happens to be probably her only teenage male role.

* [[Cultural Cross-Reference]]: ''[[Call of Cthulhu]]'' blatant [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]] are quite surprising when you consider they are jokes about a classic, but not "mainstream", Western tabletop RPG.

* [[Cultural Cross-Reference]]: ''[[Call of Cthulhu]]'' blatant [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] are quite surprising when you consider they are jokes about a classic, but not "mainstream", Western tabletop RPG.

* [[Dating Sim]]: [[Love Plus|Lovecraft Plus]], mentioned in the fourth episode of the short flash, is an inverted version of the standard dating sim that happens to have [[Sanity Meter|SAN]] [[Call of Cthulhu|among its stats]]. Instead of getting the girls to fall for you, the girls try to get ''you'' to fall for ''them'' Your SAN points are basically your resistance to the [[Yandere]] [[Stalker With a Crush]]'s advances. Lose enough SAN and you end up with her forever, wallowing in your mutual insanity. Definitely a game worthy of the title.

** This is also the premise of [[Trapped in TV Land|episode 8]]. The characters are stuck in ''Doki Doki High School'' until Mahiro scores with either Nyarko, Cuuko, Hasta or Tamao.

Line 74:

* [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?|Did You Just Romance Nyarlathotep?]]: [[Subverted Trope|A subversion]] -- while Mahiro does have feelings for Nyarko, being an astute Lovecraft reader, he doubts that having an affair with Nyarlathotep is a good idea. As a result, his attitude can be [[Tsundere]] at times.

* [[Disney Dog Fight]]: In the Flash animation Nyarko tests Shanta-kun's loyalty when it looks like it is getting too attached to Mahiro. He chooses her. After some concussive convincing.

* [[Do It Yourself Theme Tune]]: [[Kana Asumi]] [Nyarko] sings the themes of all three adaptations -- solo on the first flash opening ("Like, Like, Love") and the anime ending ("Always Be With You"), collaborative on the second flash ending ("Catharsis of a Woman's Love", with Azusa Kataoka [Atko] and Sayuri Hara [Nyarue]) and the anime opening ("The Sun Says 'Burn, Chaos'" with [[Miyu Matsuki]] [Cuuko] and Yuka Ootsubo [Tamao]).

* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: [[Kana Asumi]] [Nyarko] sings the themes of all three adaptations -- solo on the first flash opening ("Like, Like, Love") and the anime ending ("Always Be With You"), collaborative on the second flash ending ("Catharsis of a Woman's Love", with Azusa Kataoka [Atko] and Sayuri Hara [Nyarue]) and the anime opening ("The Sun Says 'Burn, Chaos'" with [[Miyu Matsuki]] [Cuuko] and Yuka Ootsubo [Tamao]).

* [[Double Entendre]]: Believe it or not, Hasta uses the crap out of this, most of the time he uses the term "[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)|gattai]]" to refer to doing it, this is not a corruption as the term '''can''' mean such an act, however when he refers to it as "[[GaoGaiGar (Anime)|Final]] [[Gratuitous English|fusion]]" all bets are off.

* [[Dragged By the Collar]]: Nyarko likes to grab Mahiro and run with him in tow.

Line 97:

* [[Harmless Villain|Harmless Villains]]: Both Nodens and Nyar-o went down with extreme anticlimax.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in Episode 7 by Nyarko (coupled with [[Color Failure]]), when Mahiro [[Brutal Honesty|bluntly tells her he doesn't like her]]. It took the sight of Cuuko [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma|about to exploit the chance to molest Nyarko]] to make Mahiro reconsider his stance, apologize to her and take her on a date.

* [[High Pressure Emotion]]: Cuuko full body blushing is actually harmful to the environment. Justified, considering she is a living fireball.

* [[High-Pressure Emotion]]: Cuuko full body blushing is actually harmful to the environment. Justified, considering she is a living fireball.

* [[Homage]]: In the first Flash animation series, Atoko and Nyarko re-enact the silent elevator ride from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.

* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: Episode 5 of second flash series downplay with this trope. As [[Comically Missing the Point|the camera was focus on bathing Shantak-kun for whole episode]], so the audience won't see anything despite all naughty dialogue. Atoko even lampshade that she feel bad for deceiving audiences.

** Happens for real in Episode 6 of the TV series, [[Mythology Gag|complete with Shantak-kun bathing scene]] with Aisora's [[Author Avatar]] next episode.

* [[Henshin Hero]]: Being Nyarlathotepian, Nyarko can transform into ''Full Force Form'' and her pet Shantak-kun will become [[Cool Bike|Machine Shantaker]] via [[Kamen Rider Decade|Final Form Ride]]. Pretty much a [[Shout Out]] to the [[Kamen Rider]] series.

* [[Henshin Hero]]: Being Nyarlathotepian, Nyarko can transform into ''Full Force Form'' and her pet Shantak-kun will become [[Cool Bike|Machine Shantaker]] via [[Kamen Rider Decade|Final Form Ride]]. Pretty much a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Kamen Rider]] series.

* [[Humans Are Special]]: On top of Earth's entertainment, humans are also sought after by aliens.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]

Line 148:

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Nyarko's hair goes below the hip. [[Godiva Hair|Useful for covering up]].

* [[Real Place Background]]: Nodens' action house front just looks like the Sagrada Familia, a famous church and touristic spot of Barcelona, Spain.

* [[Red Sky Take Warning]]: Nyarko's "convenient barrier" to keep [[The Masquerade]] turns the scene dark and tinted red, sky and Moon included.

* [[Red Sky, Take Warning]]: Nyarko's "convenient barrier" to keep [[The Masquerade]] turns the scene dark and tinted red, sky and Moon included.

* [[Reference Overdosed]]: Counting the ''[[Kamen Rider]]'', ''[[Gundam]]'' and ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'' [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]] alone is daunting.

* [[Reference Overdosed]]: Counting the ''[[Kamen Rider]]'', ''[[Gundam]]'' and ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'' [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] alone is daunting.

* [[Rule of Three]]: Whenever Mahiro asks somebody to make a [[It's a Long Story|long story]] short, he asks for three lines or less. [[Non Sequitur|The fourth will always be entirely unrelated.]]

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Cuuko has a one-sided crush on Nyarko. More of a post-schoolgirl case since both have already graduated from space elementary school but attend Mahiro's alma mater, Boryo Municipal High School to keep an eye on him.

Line 155:

{{quote| '''Nyarko''': I'm suffering from abnormal and blasphemous amounts of ominously chaotic pain. }}

* [[Share the Male Pain]]: A nightgaunt may be a creature seeking to abduct him for who knows what, but Mahiro definitely felt this way towards the poor sucker Nyarko kneed.

* [[Shout Out]]: See the the [[Nyarko San (Light Novel)/Trivia|subpage]] under the Trivia section.

* [[Shout-Out]]: See the the [[Nyarko San (Light Novel)/Trivia|subpage]] under the Trivia section.

* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: The comical abuse actually comes from Mahiro using a fork to stop Nyarko's crazed binges and unsolicited advances.

* [[Small Reference Pools]]: Those not familiar with the expanded Mythos won't know Cthugha or Atlach-Nacha. As a result, some have mistaken Cuuko as Cthulhu because of the similarities of their names. Also, Elder Gods, Great Old Ones and Outer Gods are not synonymous.
