Nyan Koi! Episode 4
There is something about the fourth episode of series. Gurren Lagann’s 4th episode was done by a different studio, full of crack, and weird animation that most people ended up angry over it.
Nyan Koi! has done the same thing, except that this is just… crack.
I will come right and say this now before I begin my description- I did not like this episode. My words may be biased.
Now-
This episode introduces a new character, Ichinose. In the beginning everyone believed he was in love with Mizuno. After all, he watched her adoringly at track practice and seemed to really like her. So he challenges Junpei. Of course, Junpei ignores this.
Unfortunately for him, Ichinose is persistent and goes to Junpei’s classroom to give him a more direct challenge… but then passes out. Turns out, Ichinose has a cold.
Junpei, Mizuno, and Kana all take him to his house… which looks to be part of the Japanese underground (that’s what the fansub I watched says, they might mean Yakuza.) While there, Junpei meets Ichinose’s cat- a male cat named Josephine and has a giant red bow tied around it’s neck. Josephine instantly recognizes Junpei and asks him to help his master fall in love.
Ichinose’s grandfather leads Junpei to where Ichinose is, where he begins to spazz out asking Junpei for a duel again and freaking out about the lightning. It is there, where Ichinose is revealed to be a woman.
And then she pretty much falls in love with what Junpei says. And that’s pretty much the ending of the episode.
My Thoughts
Like I stated before, I did not like this episode. The animation, while still decent, did a lot of the whole ‘weird anime cliche shit’… like people turning into formless blobs, angry purple smoke, lightning behind them… all the stupid stuff that anime is famous for. It was all complied into this episode and really made me dislike this episode. It was too much of silliness, not enough of plot.
The only part I really liked about this episode was Josephine.

“like people turning into formless blobs, angry purple smoke, lightning behind them”
Boy, it’s like you missed the whole essence behind this whole episode. Ok, take this comparison for example… Nyan Koi episode 4 really looked like an episode of FLCL… now if you don’t like FLCL, then I can understand by now your more likely a serious/shounen lover or something around that. But if you like FLCL, then you can clearly see that this episode was actually one of the Best so far, not the worst.
Take the cats for instance, they normally don’t play a big role, but in this episode the wish that this cat had was actually a hard one… you know, since Junpei didn’t even know Nagi was a chick…
anyways…

Hm… I didn’t look at it that way. I do agree an the aspect of the cats. It was a hard task and I loved Josephine. And I do like FLCL, but I do tend to tire of animation studios taking that course. FLCL is… well, FLCL. It’s hard to compare it, personally. It’s animation was always weird and I took it for that, but when anime start to do the ‘one episode with crazy animation’ thing, it kind of urks me and from Gurren Lagann experience, I’m not alone on that front.
Which is why I put that gripe in my thoughts. Over all, the episode wasn’t bad at all I just tend to tire of that kind of animation now and again. Perhaps I shouldn’t have judged too harshly.
Either way, thank you for reading my blog!

Hey… no problem.
I actually enjoy reading other peoples opinions, and I guess your right on the fact that a lot of anime do have the same type of crazy episode.
