Fall Preview: Nyan Koi!

An early peek at an upcoming fall anime!


Title: Nyan Koi!
JP Title: にゃんこい!
Studio: AIC
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Airs: TBS, Fridays at 2am starting Oct. 2nd
 
 
Second-year high schooler Junpei Kousaka is allergic to and despises cats. Unfortunately, the girl he has a crush on adores the little fuzzbutts. One day he kicks an empty can and accidentally smacks the local guardian deity of cats, who puts a curse on Junpei: he must grant 100 wishes from cats or turn into one himself. Fortunately he was given one little ability to help out-- he can understand what cats say.

Now, as a cat-lover myself, I rather like the idea of seeing a cat-hater get his comeuppance. On the other hand, Junpei's actually allergic to cats, and as far as I can tell, his family still owns one-- that sucks! But it looks like it could be a cute show, if not the next ZOMG AWESOME! piece of animation, so I suppose we'll see.

This one sounds fun.... And as someone who is allergic to cats, I'd like to send death rays to Gia.

I really don't care for cats...they're so boring and don't play with you like dogs do...

@HeeroYuy: Depends on the cat. I've seen ones that'll fetch. More standard cat playfulness involves chasing around hair ties or little sparkly things dangled on a string...though I remember one cat that would chase a dish towel if you waved it around. And some cats really will go crazy with a ball of yarn.

Oh yeah, dogs are where its at. As terrible as it sounds, I want a pet who'll be dependent on me. Also, the fact that their dander doesn't constrict my throat is a plus.

will there be season two?

@hi725:  No, and you don't have to necro a 1 1/2 year-old thread to find that out. Even the manga this was based off of went on "indefinite hiatus" when the manga-ka got very sick, so there won't be a second season for a long time, if there even is one in the making.

Dig Deeper into Nyan Koi!

The story of a high school boy cursed by a cat-shaped god. He gains the power to talk with cats, but he is also forced to complete 100 of their wishes or he will turn into a cat himself.
