Line 6:
This strange girl -- "Nyarko" as she prefers to be called -- is an agent of the Planetary Defense Organization, tasked to stop a smuggling ring revolving around a precious cosmic commodity... Earth's entertainment, specifically manga (and especially hentai). But she's not only out to perform her task. She also takes it to herself to protect Mahiro.
'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110303210103/http://ga.sbcr.jp/novel/nyaruko/index.html Haiyore! Nyarko-san]''''' is a 2009 [[Romantic Comedy]] [[Light Novel]] series written by Manta Aisora and illustrated by Koin (of ''[[Kanokon]]'' fame) with elements from [[Toku]] and the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. [[Lovecraft Lite|It isn't as bad as you think, though]], especially since [[Affectionate Parody|it doesn't take itself all that seriously]]. As it turns out that while the mythos beings are real, [[H.P. Lovecraft]] pretty much exaggerated the stories from his [[Humanoid Alien|Nyarlathotepian]] friend and turned them into horror tales.
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]]. 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].
Line 72:
* [[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.
* [[Dive Kick]]: As Nyarko-san is a massive ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' fangirl, she tries her best to recreate variations of the Rider Kick to the best of her ability.
* [[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|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|Final]] [[Gratuitous English|fusion]]" all bets are off.
