This is a laugh riot.
Doug(Looney Toons) would probably respect that boy for threating the silver-haired girl with a fork, considering who she is.
Sometime on the 9th, the first episode will be released
http://www.crunchyroll.com/search?q=Nyaruani
Will be the site streaming it to us. They have the first two flash series already up and will be bringing the cel anime to us soon
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... n-tv-anime
Has more information.

Interesting... a male protagonist character who is not afraid to threaten the lead female with violence whenever she starts acting bizarrely.
EDIT: *Out of interest of a new twist, looks up more info on the anime* .... OMFG... Nyarlathotep as a cute girl? That is full so much wrong that it is probably made of win and awesome.

Well, it's supposed to have... was it 1001 or 1,000,001 forms? Either way, why couldn't one be a cute girl? There are few better ways to sow chaos among teenage boys, and like the dude who started the whole drill squad mess in Stalky & Company said, the boys of today are the men of tomorrow.

Yes. The silver haired girl is actually Nyarlthotep(Nyarko) and the red haired girl is Cthuga(Cuko) who has a crush on Nyarko. Mahiro(the boy) does know that Nyarko is an alien and does still threaten her with a fork.
1001 forms for Nyarlthortp

Oh dear god no.
... one of the most recent YouTube comments is simply "My Cthulhu Can't Be This Cute". Which I think pretty much sums it all up.

I'm reminded of a webcomic that has a similar concept. "Ah! My Sanity!" is the name, I think.

Found it here, Ebony. http://owmysanity.comicgenesis.com/
Really, very good. Almost like as though the sanity rending creatures of darkness are not really all that... some of them just have a bit of blue and orange morality and could use a bit of context.

With all the horror and hate directed at this version if Nyralthotep, the various mythos writers will probably grab it and make it an actuality. She probably already is.

It would appear that the first episode is now available.
On Usenet, Galen Musbach Wrote:I flee.
It was a dark night beneath a diseased red moon
as a winged abomination swept after me from a
blotchy sky.
I have no explanation for why this horror has
befallen me, nor knowledge of the nature of
the doom that seeks me.
I flee with all my strength through the unfamiliar
streets, unrecognizable in the twisting light -
No! A dead end! Is this my final moment?
The monster has landed and approaches me.
Clearly it is futile to fight so large and powerful
a foe .... unable to fight or flee, the best answer
that remains is to shout for help, futile though it seems.
Help comes.
Against all sanity, the monster is destroyed instantly
by my rescuer. The being appears human, a young
woman, perhaps 17. Her hair moves eerily, as though
driven by a will and not the wind. She names herself,
making alien and incomprehensible gestures as she speaks:
"I'm the chaos that always crawls up to you with a smile,
Nyarlathotep!"
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san
On Crunchyroll
From Xebec.
12 half-hour episodes scheduled.
I have returned home, rescuer following. My chaotic
thoughts allow no rest, so I bury my confusion in labor,
preparing an elaborate morning repast. My peculiar
guest speaks endlessly, while somehow saying nothing.
As normalcy returns, I begin to realize that there is
more to this situation than I know, and my rescuer
may have the answers I must seek. My attempts to question
her pass unnoticed; her incessant and meaningless
chatter becoming increasingly infuriating as my frustration
mounts. I resolve to demand my answers by fork!
My guest identifies herself as Nyarlathotep, the
Crawling Chaos. I ask her if this is referenced in
the Cthulhu Mythos, and she acknowledges that
it is. Her extended explanation consists of yet
more meaningless chatter, yet I manage to mine
some nuggets of information from it. My guest claims
that she is an alien sent to defend the Earth from
other aliens. In particular, that a specific criminal
organization is targeting Earth for drugs, contraband,
and slave trade. Nyarlathotep has been assigned to
protect me from the slave-takers. She demonstrates
knowledge of my life and my family - that my parents
were not married when I was born. This offends me.
Suddenly, my protector grabs me, and declares
the house to be dangerous. We flee down the
street and into the city. Nyarlathotep takes me
to a strange place of garish lighting, where shelf
after shelf of forbidden lore hangs heavy above
the customers. She becomes intoxicated by the
peculiar tomes, as I become suspicious that there
is no real cause for us to be here. I question my
protector forkfully, and she declares that this
forbidden lore is the contraband which the
criminal organization seeks to smuggle away
from Earth and out into space.
As we leave the store, Nyarlathotep unexpectedly
becomes romantically aggressive towards me;
then suddenly, we are under attack. Nyarlathotep
is unsurprised; she knew the lore repository would
be under observation, and brought me there to
draw the enemy out. We lingered at the door
to give them time to make their move!
Nyarlathotep engages the enemy with a savage
brutality that I cannot bear to watch, laughing
with abandon as she cheerfully dismembers him.
I return to self-awareness on the following day,
knowing that I must go to school.
Nyarlathotep, now Nyarko Yasaka, enters my
class as a transfer student, claiming to be my
cousin from overseas. She instantly becomes
popular with the other students - and immediately
wields that popularity as a weapon against me.
As Nyarko is sleeping through biology class, yet
another monster appears in the air outside the
window; I gently awaken my protector and we
head to the roof for the inevitable confrontation.
She identifies the enemy as a Nightgaunt, and
again the foe is helplessly slaughtered.
What can tomorrow bring?

OK, this is a bit necromantic, but I recently found out about this series and looked into it. One of the things I learned is that it has the nickname, "Ah My Elder Goddess!" Somewhat appropriate, given that Hisakawa Aya voices the male lead's mother in the anime ... and Inoue Kikuko voiced her in the drama CD.
Still curious, I checked out the second season's first episode. The episode opened with Nyaruko making a video she said would be a report to her superiors on how her task is going -- except she was claiming that she and Mahiro met "in an ordinary way" and had gotten married. More to the point, the visual part was unmistakably based on the opening credits animation from Bewitched: starting with Nyaruko flying around on a broomstick, vanishing when her "husband" kisses her cheek, and then a cat jumps into his arms and turns into Nyaruko again.... At about this point, Mahiro interrupts to gripe about how inaccurate this is.

Honestly, I loved the first season. I'm not really into the Mythos -- my experience consists of a couple of sessions of CoC, a few games of Arkham Horror, and the fanfic Osaka and the Yellow Sign. You're probably won't like this show if you are expecting incomprehensible, squamous Elder Gods.
But what I like about the anime is that it's a comic plot of love triangles driven by the characters' collective stupidity. That's pretty much like Urusei Yatsura, and I'm happy to see anime comedy returning to its roots, so to speak. Just a UY is a Japanese mythology crack fic, Nyaruko is a Lovecraft mythos crack fic.

Sooo.... What you're saying is what's now needed is a UY/Nyaruko crossover, preferably held at the Ah, Megami-sama! shrine simple because they have a place to host the Apocalyptic party?

Well, I'd probably set it on the Tsunami-fune; adding Tenchi Muyo would really bring on the apocalypse.

Nope. Poor guy is still getting himself sorted out I guess.

Bearing in mind that the cute eldritch abominations are apparently unable to dodge whenever the male lead attacks them with forks, it's plain that their apocalyptic powers are insignificant next to the power of the Fork.
Incidentally, there's a moment, again in the second season's first episode, where he shouts, "Shut up shut up shut up!" One of those he's yelling this at is voiced by Kugimiya Rie.

So we've been mis-hearing that famous line all these years? It's really "Use the Fork, Luke!"
