* TearJerker: Nyaruko takes an [[TakingTheBullet attack meant for Mahiro]] and goes down, unmoving. Kuuko's [[TheScream reaction]] is bad enough, but [[TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Mahiro's is gutwrenching.]] He starts off telling Nyaruko to 'quit fooling around' in a trembling voice, as if he still can't believe what he's seeing. He gets more and more desperate as it goes, until he's finally ''screaming'' at her to get up, sobbing the entire time. [[spoiler: [[MoodWhiplash Then it turns out Nyaruko was playing dead the whole time, and uses Mahiro's lowered guard as an opportunity to french him.]]]]

* ValuesDissonance: This is a ''Japanese'' series based in characters written by [[Creator/HPLovecraft an infamous racist]] and they're mostly used for [[RuleOfCool coolness]] and [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]], possibly [[MisaimedFandom without knowing the cultural background of those stories]].

** The opening for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twLhgk2S2ZM second season]], W, also has a catchy tune as well.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mUkp7mKHDE first ending]] for W has a nice beat as well.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdYLbdMK8lY second ending]] for W.
** Another ending song for the second season, this time focusing on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEoIL63XvJg Tamao Kurei]].

* BadassDecay: Nyaro takes this to the logical extreme. At the beginning of the episode, he is introduced after having slain several gods, with bad lighting that barely reveals his features and apparently reveling in the carnage. By the end of the episode, he's been chased by the police, defeated several times ''by accident'', and his OneWingedAngel form [[ATwinkleInTheSky blasts off]] after basically having his toe stubbed. He actually puts up ''some'' of a fight in the light novels, but Nyarko still hands him his ass and sends him blasting off at the end.

** Mahiro leaves a BaseBreakingCharacter mixed first impression to the fans due to his treatment of his three companions. He [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap softens up]] to them overtime, though.

* TheScrappy:
** Mahiro leaves a [[BaseBreakingCharacter mixed first impression]] to the fans due to his treatment of his three companions. He [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap softens up]] to them overtime, though.
** Not a lot of people find Cunne's "incestuous PsychoLesbian" very funny. The fact she is blatantly older than Cuuko only makes it worse.
** Hasuta gets [[BaseBreakingCharacter some flak]] for being a perceived TheGenericGuy who only exists to please trap fans.

** Mahiro leaves a bad first impression to the fans due to his treatment of his three companions. He [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap softens up]] to them overtime, though.

** Hasuta is disliked by [[BaseBreakingCharacter some fans]] for being a perceived TheGenericGuy who only exists to please trap fans.

** Cuune. Not a lot of people find "incestuous PsychoLesbian" very funny. The fact she is blatantly older than Cuuko only makes it worse.
** Hasuta is disliked by some for being a perceived TheGenericGuy who only exists to please trap fans.

** Mahiro often drew a lot of hate from the fans due to his treatment of his three companions.

*** [[AscendedMeme The OVA itself also references them]]:

* ValuesDissonance: This is a ''Japanese'' series based in characters written by [[HPLovecraft an infamous racist]] and they're mostly used for [[RuleOfCool coolness]] and [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]], possibly [[MisaimedFandom without knowing the cultural background of those stories]].

** FridgeBrilliance or FridgeHorror: The gods of the Cthulhu mythos love Earth's anime, manga, and games - especially, apparently, the hentai stuff based on the doujin Nyaruko was buying in episode one. What's hentai [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles infamous for]]? Of course it would appeal to them!
* FridgeHorror: In the DatingSim episode, Mahiro is unwillingly jumped around between the key events of the game, skipping over large portions of the school year. We're never outright told how the others experience it, but the fact that Nyarko had the time to knit a (rather long) scarf for Mahiro's Christmas present implies they lived out the whole thing. That in and of itself is pretty scary, but then one has to wonder what happened to Mahiro in the meantime -- did he simply disappear, or was he on "autopilot" like Adam Sandler's character in ''{{Film/Click}}'' when he fast-forwarded time?

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Nyarko and Cuuko explain that this trope applies on a galactic scale; the conversation was triggered when Mahiro recognized Cuuko's manga as one that only lasted six issues, but the girls explain that it was revived by an alien publisher.

* HilariousInHindsight: TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Yoriko gives about how she thinks the Xoth-731 console is doomed to failure became a lot funnier after the reveal of the Xbox One at E3 2013.
** In episode 1 of the second season, Mahiro adopts the MadnessMantra "It's just ink...it's just ink..." as Nyarko slaughters a Nightgaunt off-screen; jump ahead to episode 11 of ''Nyarko-San W'', where the cast goes to a haunted house, and the mysterious stains on the carpet actually ''are'' ink.

* MemeticMutation: ''The Strange Circumstances of one Mahiro Yasaka, as written by H.P. Lovecr/a/ft'', from the /a/ board of 4chan, which is a re-imagining of the events of the episodes of the anime as if they were written and narrated by Lovecraft himself:

* TheScrappy: Mahiro often drew a lot of hate from the fans due to his treatment of his three companions.

** Cuune. Not a lot of people find "incestuous PsychoLesbian" very funny. The fact she is blatantly older than Cukoo only makes it worse.

*** The OVA itself also references them:

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKqpq52KjII Once Nyagain]], the opening for the 2015 OVA starts with the catchiest parts from the first and second intros overlapping.

* XMeetsY: ToLoveRu meets HP Lovecraft

* XMeetsY: ToLove-Ru meets HP Lovecraft

** On top of that, her breakdown is caused by the fact that Mahiro isn't willing to definitively say whether he's attracted to Nyarko or not -- in other words, because '''won't''' just say "Yes" or "No".

** Cuune. Not a lot of people find "incestuous PsychoLesbian" very funny. The fact she is blatantly older than Cuckoo only makes it worse.

* FridgeBrilliance: Considering the official explanation that [[KlingonsLoveShakespeare aliens love Earth culture]], all of the show's copious [[ReferenceOverdosed references]] can easily be explained as the alien characters being total {{Otaku}} who love to pepper their daily conversations with lines from their favorite shows -- just like Nyarko does.

* HarsherInHindsight: Or rather Creepier in Hindsight. Once you see Shantak-kun's [[TokenMiniMoe human form]], it's become much harder to laugh at joke involve its eggs, or how it snuck a sausage which apparently laced with aphrodisiacs in ''Remember my Love(craft-sensei)''.
