"the Crawling Chaos" a.k.a. the shapeshifting horror of Lovecraftian lore is assuming his weirdest form yet. He'll be starring in the Japanese anime show Haiyore! Nyaruko-San as a super-cute girl who helps a high-schooler fight aliens. Hail Kawaiithu? Nyarlathotep, who's generally portrayed as an insanity-inducing, thousand-faced Outer God, will be getting the Sailor Moon treatment as Nyaruko, a plucky silver-haired girl who helps a schoolboy fend off extraterrestrials. The show is based on Manta Aisora's illustrated novel series. I've never read them before, but I assume Cthulhu appears as a jovial puce hippopotamus and Azathoth the Blind Idiot God cameos as a giant singing candy bar.[/quote] [url=http://io9.com/5608324/hp-lovecrafts-nyarlathotep-is-getting-an-uber+cute-anime-series]Linky...[/url]
Lovecraft is turning in his grave due to shame.
What is this I don't even.
I'm just going to kill myself now.
What, anime and stupid in the same context? Never!
you know, at some point the people running this anime shit have to realize how shitty it is and that they shouldn't disgrace good things. Like, I watch anime and I acknowledge and fully understand that it's extremely shitty and terrible, they shouldn't ruin lovecrafts work like this.
Just wait till JohnnyMo1 gets in here.
He's going to have a field day.
[QUOTE=LeonS;24057619]Lovecraft is turning in his grave due to shame.[/QUOTE] That's probably more to do with someone who isn't white using his work
You could play pool with those eyeballs.
What an utter disgrace to Lovecrafts name.
[QUOTE=acds;24057785]Just wait till JohnnyMo1 gets in here.[/QUOTE] Hoo boy, is he gonna be pissed.
Awesome.
asfdfgads what is this I dont even
Hahahaha, this is incredible. I'm a huge weaboo faggot but even i can see this is silly
Lovecraft is overrated. But then again, so is anime.
Blasphemy!
This is going to suck so hard.
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;24058336]Lovecraft is overrated. But then again, so is anime.[/QUOTE] Not always. [IMG]http://www.thecartoonpictures.com/data/media/10/Minnie_Mouse_avatar.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://s3.amazonaws.com/lcp/elcalabozodejade/myfiles/sexy-anime-girl.gif[/IMG] Atleast with anime, it brings some life to imagination once in a while :pervert:. But at younger age, yeah.
I hope she turns into this: [IMG]http://userdisk.webry.biglobe.ne.jp/014/152/03/N000/000/000/nyarlathotep.jpg[/IMG] at some point and goes nuts.
It just looks like they named a character in tribute to Lovecraft's Nyarlathotep. None of this is based on any of Lovecraft's stories. What's the big deal?
Japan likes to disguise monsters of pure horror and power in cute girl disguises. It happens alot.
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;24058336]Lovecraft is overrated. But then again, so is anime.[/QUOTE] I disagree, I really don't think Lovecraft is overrated.
Motherfuckers. Those goddamn mother[I]fuckers.[/I] Might as well have raped my mother.
That jus' ain't right. At MOST he should be portrayed as some tall, swarthy man who resembles an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, but Nyarlathotep as a young anime girl is just CROSSING THE BLOODY LINE. If I were Him i'd have some SERIOUS mind-snapping to do.

[editline]10:42PM[/editline] Is this really so hard to understand.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;24059347]oh so it's either an insult or blatant thievery well that makes everything better tossers[/QUOTE] Try "tribute" or "reference". It's not like these things are uncommon.
I really don't give a damn. Probably not going to seriously watch this anime anyway. Just another piece of crap that people will use to say "HERF DERF ALL ANIME IS BAD HERPADERP". Unless it turns out to be good, I don't give a single fuck. Even if it does, I still wouldn't give a fuck that a character is named after another.
cthulhu kawaii desu XD
