The story continues with the protagonist Ikki and his medabot Medabee. However, Ikki loses a battle to a new type of Medabot without emotions called Kilobots. Disturbed by the inherent nature of Kilobots, Ikki and Medabee fight Kam, the mastermind/creator of these Kilobots throughout the series.

Story: The story was decent at best. In all honesty, it was a disappointment. The plot did not pull you into the story nearly as much as the previous seasons. Additionally, the story follows a common archetype and fails to build up suspense in the fights.A good characteristic was the continuing motifs of friendship and teamwork, although very straightforward at ... times, it abided by the previous notions of the Medabot series. Lastly, a real disappointment was the absence of previous characters in the series. My favorite Medabot Rokusho did not partake in this series, however they made an awful imitation of him called Roks which just made the sereis feel like its been going on far too long. Henry and the Referee had also been eliminated. Henry was awesome and the Referee was humorous at times.

Sound: The sound effects were kinda crappy. I've taken into account that this is an older show, yet it does not live up to other series of the same period including various Gundam series and Hajime no Ippo.

Characters: My only complaint from this category is the character development. Kam, Ginkai and several other main characters histories are introduced at what I thought was a bad time or simply gave vague details to support the following actions. The author also gave many episodes to develop some characters, but many of these scenes give counterproductive insight.

I would rate this series a "6" or a "5" mainly because I enjoyed the prequels. Overall, I think this series killed Medabots.

Story:
The story of Nyan Koi! was decent. It is basically a love story with comedy incorporated into it.The protagonist Junpei Kōsaka has a crush on a girl who loves cats yet he's allergic to them. From reading this one line summary you can probably identify the irony from the plot. As mentioned above, the story was decent, but for me the funny comments here and there are what made the show interesting. It follows the archetype of one guy having a crush on a single girl and then having numerous girls falling for him. Just to make it interesting, his crush is on an ... airhead blonde who isn't aware of his feelings and eventually as the plot progresses she begins to develop feelings for Junpei. After watching a variety of shows you can probably predict a vague version of the story. There aren't really any interesting twists in the plot, however it is enjoyable to sit through and passes by relatively fast.

Comedy:
I had to make a different section for this because this either makes or breaks the show. I enjoyed the comedy. It made me laugh every here and there. The jokes are somewhat dirty. I liked them being a teenager with the references to puberty. The protagonists interest in girls tends to be good fillers along the way, however do not take this the wrong way. This is not a comedy. In my opinions it is more of a traditional love story with an odd event (cursed cat statue) tied in to make it seem unique.

Art:
The art was great. I was stunned when I began watching (I watched HD videos if it makes a difference). The art was easy on the eyes and didn't take any adjusting like katanagatari.

Sound:
Fair. No real songs just filler music along the way chosen to try and change the mood. Nothing really called out to me music wise. The voices were great! Each person matched the character and everything seemed to be in well order.

Characters:
Junpei was a well developed character. Truly, the characers I really liked were the mail carrier woman (for comedy), Junpei's mother and sister (for comedy), and the twins (for comedy). You can probably see what I'm talking about here.

Enjoyment:
Easy watch goes by fast. The short series actually serves to benefit this series. Doesn't feel dragged on. BEWARE, to me, this series didn't give me a nostalgic feeling probably because there aren't enough episodes for character development. You don't really form a bond with the characters throughout the series.

Overall Awesome Show!! I loved this series and it is one of my all time favorites. The plot is blended with intriguing questions of life and gives you an intellectual orgasm. It ties in alchemy, who doesn't love alchemy, and focuses on an elixir of immortality. At first, the story is a bit confusing yet at one point all the pieces come together and leave you awestruck. The shortness of the show is the only negative attribute; it leaves you wanting for much more compared to the regular feeling of " Does Naruto becomes Hokage" because thats all i care about after watching a show ... done like Naruto. You want to know what happened, who did it, when was it, where did it take place, why did they do that and how. Yay it's my first review.
