I could have finish this series if it weren’t for my PC motherboard. Seriously, this series finish around the same time when Darker than Black finish, so its a shame that I only manage to finish it now. Of course now this review is kinda pointless since the series was concluded last year, but my policy is to finish what I started, so let’s get going !

Episode 11

I wasn’t particularly happy about Nyan Koi direction. I was more focusing on love triangle between Kanako, Junpei and Mizuno. The problem is, the pattern is the same over and over again, especially the interaction between Kanako and Junpei. I was wondering why near the end they decided to give another episode show development for Kanako, and it was kinda pointless and draggy for me.

The only worth thing was Junpei suddenly pop out cat ears, mainly because Keade overheard him talking to cats. Then again, she only THOUGHT that he can speak with cats, then she dismissed the whole thought, so why did the curse happen so quickly ?

Episode 12

So in the anime, we finally get to see Junpei becoming a cat, thanks to the previous incident in last episode. Despite that, there was particularly nothing interesting or funny about that. As I mention earlier, the jokes are becoming less funny and they rely on generic comedy which I’ve seen over and over again.

Though the part where Junpei transform back to a human naked was amusing though, heh. Other than that however, this episode wasn’t entertaining at all.

So they decided to leave the ending open for a second season, ending it with a New Year chapter from the manga. I guess this is understandable since the manga is on-going, and I think its better this way than to add unnecessary fillers.

Final Thoughts

In the beginning, although not spectacular, Nyan Koi started out very decent. However as the episode progress, it become more generic like the typical love comedy, ignoring and abandoning the cat jokes. Sometimes it tries to implement the cat jokes, but it seems out of place or not connecting very well. Overall, I was rate this series as average. You can give it a try, but expect it to lose steam as the series nears the end. It’s not a particularly bad idea to watch it since its short.
