Cats Don't Come When Called

Eneeli★ 7

As a cat person, I adored how this short series captured the inexplicable simple pleasure of being around cats without going over the top about the bonds between pet and owner. A wannabe pro boxer ends up taking care of two strays which his manga artist brother brings home. Each episode is a snippet into their daily lives living with the cats. From the personalities of each cat to how a novice cat owner learns to live with them, the stories told are charming in its lack of a plot. There's no grand mystery into the secret lives of cats whatsoever. The ordinary slice of lifeapproach this anime takes is as close to real life with cats as it can be. At 90 seconds per episode, you can easily finish all 12 episodes at one go or save each episode as a short and sweet way to perk up your day.

"In this house, the one at the bottom of the hierarchy right now is probably...me" damn straight. Nekoyon was made for the cat lover segment of the anime community. If you enjoy watching cute cats doing cute and sometimes diabolical things as much as I do, this will be an njoyable watch for a low time commitment. Only twelve minutes worth of shorts about two stray kittens taken in by an amateur boxer who quickly discovers it is not you who controls the cats, but they that control and change you. Each episode offers a brief look how difficult, but ultimately rewarding it can be toown a pair of kittens. This was obviously made on the cheap, but we don't need a Kyoto Animation quality staff to execute a concept as menial as this. NekoYon does a great job with the resources that it has and delivers a product that any fan of the adorable can find brief satisfaction in.
