Nyan†Pia The Animation - Detailed Review and Recommendation

"Nyanpire The Animation" is a short anime series that aired in 2011, based on the doujinshi comic "Nyanpire -the Gothic World of Nyanpire-" by yukiusa. This anime is a heartwarming and comical story about the daily life of Nyanpire, a black cat who was baptized with the blood of a vampire. Below, we will explain in detail the appeal and features of this anime, as well as the recommended points.

Story and Characters

Nyanpire is an abandoned black cat who was baptized in blood by a vampire and gained eternal life. Although he craves blood, he is picked up by a human named Misaki and lives a happy life as a house cat. Nyanpire's character loves blood and is a bit self-centered, but he also has a naive side, which makes him beloved by viewers.

Other unique characters include Masamunya, the one-eyed dragon who worships Date Masamune, Nyatenshi, who was banished from angel status, Chachamaru, who has a sharp tongue, and the vampire bats Mouri-kun and Komori-kun. The everyday episodes woven by these characters will entertain viewers with a mix of laughter and emotion.

Animation and performance

GONZO, the animation production company, has succeeded in bringing out Nyanpaia's cuteness and individuality to the fullest. Nyanpaia's movements and expressions are particularly detailed, conveying her charm to the viewers. The production is also impressive, as it is able to fully depict the story in the short 5-minute time frame.

Director Takahiro Yoshimatsu, who is also in charge of character design, plays a major role in visually expressing the world of Nyanpire. Series composer Natsuko Takahashi also skillfully constructs the story of each episode, creating an exciting plot that keeps viewers interested.

Voice actors and music

Ami Koshimizu, who plays Nyanpaia, perfectly expresses the cuteness and naturalness of Nyanpaia. Other great voice actors, such as Noriaki Sugiyama as Masamunya the One-Eyed Dragon and Jun Fukuyama as Nyatenshi, bring the characters to life.

The theme song, "Nyanpire Exercise," was written, composed, and arranged by Kenichi Maeyamada, and sung by Asou Nyatsuko & Nyadain. This song not only enhances the atmosphere of the anime, but is also an important element in providing enjoyment to viewers.

Recommended points

"Nyan†Pia The Animation" is an entertaining work that provides laughter and emotion in a short time. It is especially recommended for people who like cats and vampires. The characters also have strong personalities, making it a work that is loved by viewers.

This anime is perfect for watching with family and friends, and can be enjoyed by both children and adults. In addition, each episode is independent, so it can be easily watched even by busy people.

Also, the original doujinshi comic "Nyanpire - the Gothic World of Nyanpire-" is also very interesting, so I recommend reading the original after watching the anime. You will be able to enjoy the differences between the anime and the original.
