Why oh why does Japan get all the awesome/cool/funny novels, while over here in the west we're stuck with Twilight and shitty fanfic being published professionaly?
It just isn't fair, I say. |

This book blows and so does the anime. I caught a lot of crap for saying it in the preview thread, but I don't care. Lovecraft doesn't need this inane drivel poaching his awesome mythos.
Incidentally, I recently saw this "anime-inspired" video (NSFW): http://youtu.be/6QFwo57WKwg?hd=1 Now that's Lovecraft done right! 
God damnit Japan, I know you have it in you. Why can't we have more anime of this kind? I'm sure it'd have the otaku shitting in their pants and making their boners fall off, but it would be epic! People complain about milquetoast male leads, I say this is how to handle them and crappy moeblobs! Kill two birds with one stone! Do it Lovecraft style!

@dragon695
Some people either were born without a funny bone or do not comprehend what a parody is about. |

Yes, yes we all know about parody. Gee, I wonder what Japan will think of next to rip off and turn into a show about cute things. A-Hyuck Hyuck. Like we haven't seen it a million times. 
On the other hand, an anime that was a true adaptation of Lovecraft, that was truly nightmare-inducing horror would be fairly fresh and exciting, |

I'm going to guess you haven't read the book.
Yes, because Saya no Uta totally doesn't exist.
Yes, a direct adaption of 70 year old books is "fresh and exciting" |

It's been thought of already. It just hasn't been adapted to anime form yet.
Well, the current Nyaruko anime seems to be a nightmare-inducing horror for people like you, so, it's actually working out that way. |

Figured you'd show up. As a matter of fact, I haven't. But if it is anything like the anime, I don't care to.
Hmm, is that recent anime? Oh, its a VN, thanks for the rec I hadn't heard of it. Still, would certainly like to see more pure horror anime.
Well, old can be new when applied in a vacuum. Anime certainly could use a good enema. |

So why are you making direct statements about its quality? |

Its a comedy about Lovecraft elder gods. Call me skeptical, but if the anime is a true adaption that all the otaku are making it out to be, I don't think the source material above inane drivel. It is kind of like how I don't need to read Twilight to know it blows based on having to sit through the movies with my ex. It is my opinion and you are free to disagree, as I know you do. |

Repeat after me, pa-ro-dy. Parodies might be comical, but not all comedies are parodies nor all parodies are comical. |

Maybe it's because I have never read anything from Lovecraft, but I am finding the T.V. Anime of Nyaruko-san to be funny. It's pure parody and not supposed to be taken seriously in anything it does. Plus I like how the girl is the perverted/crazy one, although the male lead is still a clichéd drag. But I don't watch the show for him, I watch it for his MILF of a mother. Oh, and the Yuri overtones.
