Pretty much the same reason Konosuba was popular >>161657871

I get it, but the jokes aren't good. They are really forced.

Lucky Star on the other hand did it 100% right.

Aggressive marketing and bright flashy visuals. That's literally all an anime needs nowadays.

Tired old memes aside, the show has Lovecraftian monsters turned uber cute girls, tokusatsu references, some okay humor, and a crappy MC.

Smut like Nisekoi is far worse and look at how popular it became. Makes sense that anything remotely better may stand a chance, you know.

The marketing part would help a hell of a lot.

Because Kuuko x Mahiro OTP.

If I'm being honest I loved it.

I fully realize the show is terrible, most of the references fly over my head and a good number of them are forced as fuck. But I just can't hate it. I love Nyaruko. I never had a character I ever wanted to wife as hard as I wanted to wife Nyaruko. Maybe it was the clingy adoration, maybe it was the stockings or skirt. I don't know what it was, but I will watch everything that has her in it.

>too autistic to find comedy/drama/tragedy funny/shocking/sad? Just call it 'forced'!

>>161661934
The issue is that it was unfunny, though.
>mc stabs nyaruko for the millionth time
>OHHH ZAKU GYAZA CEEEE (tl note: epic obscure japanese power rangers/transformers reference. means "ow" here)

>>161661976
Kana MADE that fun to hear 100 times.

>>161661976
But it's fun

Nyaruko the show sucks. Nyaruko the character does not, and all otaku care about are cute girls.
