Nyan Koi!, Episode 7: Wait Until It's Getting Dark

Onto episode 7 of Nyan Koi! This episode takes us out of the shows normal setting and lets us see the characters on a school field trip to Kyoto. Things are definitely back to focusing on the comedy aspect over moving the story along, although there was still some story progression here. Full advantage of the change in locale was taken, and we got to have fun with plenty new cats, as well as a great moment with a cat back home.

The cat based humor is what really sparked my interest in this anime, and it's out in full force here. From cat marital spats to cat cell phone conversations, anyone who was interested in this series for similar reasons should enjoy this episode. It does feel like they're dragging out the relationship aspect of the show a little too much at this point, but I understand they're going for a big finish. It just seems like things between Junpei and Kaede have moved backwards from where they were in episode 5, and that's mildly frustrating.

I'm still enjoying this show a lot, and I'll be sad to see it end. At this point, I'm not sure how Junpei will complete his curse in time, but I imagine that he'll find a way, even some good deeds have to happen off camera. As long as there are still plenty of cute kitties and great humor, I'll stay a fan of this anime.
