To the very end you will never know if their mention of a second season is a joke or not. This show itself is a joke. I love every second of it.

Just when I thought an awesome series couldn’t get more awesome, I decided to rewatch the first few episodes and noticed the greatest thing ever.

Fabulous. Just absolutely fabulous.

And this is why Nyan Koi remains to this day one of the best shows of 2009. You better believe it!

Saki is great too. So when you have one making references to another, it rips space-time itself.

Without a doubt, it’s Nyan Koi! I know, I waited too long in making this.

You sad sad dimwit. You'll be a virgin forever, but let me smile for you now.

This anime is awesome. In one way, it’s nothing more than a generic harem anime. Actually, that’s all it is. Be that as it may, even if the genre is festering; Nyan Koi is full of vitality and reminds us all that even old cats can land on their feet.

One of the highlights of the show is that its comedy is actually genuinely funny. Though the show tends to fall back towards more generic antics after the first episode; be rest assured that it will not disappoint you in the end. It’s also nice that, Mizuno the main love interest, isn’t some violent prude that strikes whenever there’s a misunderstanding like some stupid tsundere. Unfortunately, there appears to be some indications that she’s actually mentally retarded, as she doesn’t understand situations even when they are laid out in big bold letters.

Why did I choose this picture? You know why.

But the real con of the show is that Junpei, our token protagonist, is extremely, unbelievably, good-god-he’s-so thick-headed. Which is actually quite contrary to his otherwise reliable and quick witted persona, as displayed throughout the series as he helps out felines (both human and cats) with their troubles and issues. Of course, he’s no genius; and there’s nothing saying he can’t be both retarded and reliable. So I’ll excuse the show of its one major flaw.

Another key point of interest is that the annoying headache inducing opening theme is sung by none other than Yui Sakakibara, whose only other musical role I know of is as the singer of Phantasm, FES from the game/anime Chaos;Head. The difference is clear, clear eye.

The brand may not be original, but at least the design is... sorta.

Oh, another interesting fact. For some reason, I don’t really like Mizuno’s voice. I guess it could be the poor voice acting, or maybe there is something strikingly amateurish to it. Still, it is a really cute voice and I guess the Japanese people like it. About nine episodes in, it hit me that I know this voice. I looked up Yuka Iguchi on the internet and bam, there it was. She was the voice of Index from Toaru Majutsu no Index. I didn’t like Index’s voice either. What a coincidence.

By the way, does Junpei remind anyone else of Hei?

The black hair, that stern face, and they both talk to cats.
