Because conflicts are so easily resolved, there's not a lot of actual plot to draw the attention of the viewer, especially since the cute girls are probably the biggest selling point the show has. Even if the content is different, the general storytelling of the anime is centered solely around the girls acting like cats in every conceivable situation, and hardly anything really changes. One episode can be about something vastly different than another's, and I felt a little thrown off watching at times because one episode can have the girls telling stories in a blackout, and the next has two of them going through a giant, custom-built obstacle course that comes out of nowhere.ĭespite the surprising amount of variance the episodes have though, Nekopara just feels.boring to watch. The conflicts themselves though feel very random. Rather than spending time with Kashou, the cats' male master, practically everything in the series centers around how the cats interact with each other and any relationship changes that might occur as a result of the episode's conflict being resolved. As a result, conflicts for the anime typically only exist within the confines of the episode, so there really isn't any overarching things to keep track of.Īs for the content, the show is (of course) only focused on cat-based stuff. And thus (I guess) starts another chapter of their lives.Īside from the first three episodes which establish a completely new character to the Nekopara series, the anime comprises of only one-off stories that put one or two of the catgirls (who're conveniently put together in pairs) in some kind of situation that serves as the episode's focus, rarely deviating from that single story before the twenty four minutes are up before a different set takes their place in the next episode. When the older of the two siblings leaves to start his own patisserie business, the two youngest cats follow their master and appear in boxes as he's moving in while the other four cats and his little sister stay behind in their family home, occasionally coming by to Within the Minazuki household lives six different catgirls. It was a consistent and fun ride throughout and I look forward to future content.Ī question: I'm pretty sure it's established somewhere in the VNs that they're genetically engineered 'cat girls', so why call them 'cats'? Are there actual cats in this world aside from catgirls, or are all cats catgirls now? Yes, I seriously thought about this hypothetical question while watching the show. In conclusion, Nekopara despite being no masterpiece, was one of my favourite shows of the season and helped me to wind down at the end of the week after class. The art, however is extremely well done making the show nice and bright. This isn’t a battle shonen so there’s no real need for high quality animation. Technically, there’s not much to speak of. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking or revolutionary, but you will certainly get a laid back and cozy ride. uncertain times and pass time, enjoy CGDCT or cat girls, this is your show.

It’s very much a “monster” of the week type thing with each episode providing a new challenge or event for the girls to prepare for. Narratively, there’s not much on the way of plot in this show.

Nekopara is a fun and cozy way to spend 24 minutes.
