Nyan Koi Ep 4 - Classic of Eastern Literature

Airhead cat lover with a yakuza fetish?  Sadistic childhood friend?  Reverse Trap high school yakuza boss?  Animators and writers who must be on acid?

Sense - this makes none

The plot this week introduces a new character, and again I have a new favorite.  Ichinose, to spoil the fairly obvious reveal of this episode, is the newest unintentional love interest for Kousaka.  I refer to her as a reverse trap - rather than the guy who looks like a girl, she is a girl who looks like a guy.  The method of the reveal is also pretty obvious.



The Japanese are a very clumsy people

Even the inflection in her voice changes depending on the situation.  Nothing like a bi-polar yakuza member to add to the fun.

The rest of the story has plot points that include the cliche



How many episodes will this go on?

The unexpected



This is not how you react to finding yourself in a Yakuza stronghold

To the WTF?



No.  God No.

The visual style of this show lands it firmly in the area of gag anime, with bizzare visual twists and turns like those below.

An important ecological message.

Also, I am convinced all Japanese people are muppets





There is a felt shortage in the Far East
