HOLY FUCK WHO GAVE A SHOW TOP TIER FILM LEVEL OF AN OPENING START?!?!

Seriously, watching the start, and honestly, the entire first episode, it really does come off as a movie like. While the show goes on however, you'll see why it fits more a episodic format. But still, that was a HUGE opening, that really hit home, and really showcases not only what the show is about, but also really shows the animes best points, in terms of it's story, and concept, so that you'll want to see episode two, then see episode three, and so on.

Story and characters: 8
Think of this as ... if Senko-san, but if she was a big cat, that was very cat like, while having some human like qualities to it to boot. Along without certain elements of it's story. But I'm sure, as the show goes on, will know more story, and more about it. But for what it does present us, as the natural bond between a human and their pet, and how our pet views us. If you're a cat lover, you certainly will love this show.

If one show really showcases the what is humanity truly. Then this show really showcases what it means to be human in a different light. How our relationship with our pets truly shows. Episode 2 really highlights this for me. Understanding that humans need to go work in order to provide, in order to get certain elements. No matter how annoying it may be, it's a need. Otherwise, we won't be able to live. It's hard hitting, and it's stuff we'd want to watch anime to escape from, as the reality of life can really blow, but through this show, it's done in a realistic way, and through it's colourful cast of characters, makes for an enjoyable watch.

Speaking of characters, you'll really relate to them in every sense of the world. There is a bunch that you could really relate to. Even the cat funny enough. Being a perfect blend of cat, and having some human qualities to them. It's weird yes, but it's very fun and cute to watch also.

Senko-san had a story behind it, while this show feels like it's more relaxed and fun experience. Not that Senko-san couldn't have been. But more so far, there isn't anything massive to get suoer worked up by, which only makes for a relaxing watch all together.

Art and sound: 9
As I've talked about at the start. The show really hits hard with it;s quality of style within the first couple of moments of the show's existence. Sure, it calms down afterwards, but it really drives a good look, and a great style. Even when the show calms from it's massive opening, it still presents itself as a great looking show that's great on the eyes, while also being meshed with a great and fitting sound design that goes so well together. The OP is fun, the quality the voice actors put in is top tier. You can tell that they have so much fun with this show, and it's clear as day.

Dekiru Neko hits like a storm, with it's killer opening, and remains strong with it's fun characters, good pacing, and good writing. An enjoyable experience for sure.

GoHands going 2-for-2 with a surprisingly good comeback? What kind of world are we living in — a 2.5D animation-cum-3DCG-ready world?!

As you may (or may not) know, GoHands is the studio responsible for the atrocity that was Winter 2017's Hand Shakers, which, over the years, spawned its own series that had the exact same setting and action that never seemed to take off. That is until this season, where GoHands debuted with not 1, but 2 shows: the more popular Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta a.k.a The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, and the less popular one, which is this show right ... here: Dekiru Neko wa Kyou mo Yuuutsu a.k.a The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today, by mangaka Hitsuji Yamada. And for both shows to really hit the mark when it comes to enjoyability, one would question: How, in the infinite hell, did GoHands manage to produce 2 shows that are both good, considering that their previous shows were mediocre at best?

The anthropomorphic theme in anime form may not have seen better days but shows like Spring 2020's Gal to Kyouryuu a.k.a Gal & Dino, Doukyonin wa Hiza, Winter 2019's Tokidoki, Atama no Ue. a.k.a My Roommate is a Cat, and Spring 2019's Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san a.k.a The Helpful Fox Senko-san, which this show has the closest similarity to, do exist. In Hitsuji Yamada's case, it's of a working woman finding a stray cat in the midst of a cold Winter day and then bringing it to her home...which is a literate rat's nest of trash and garbage so foul that I'm surprised that not one of her next-door neighbours filed a complaint against her. Seeing that this woman's room is filled with filth, this stray cat wants out, but something tells it that if his occupant's owner continues her lifestyle as is, it's not going to be good. And so, the time has come for a helper, but not in the way that you expect: the stray black cat, named Yukichi, makes it upon himself to be the masterful cat to be the solution to the owner of Saku Fukuzawa, the typical office worker who, in more of a need for a partner, doesn't have her life together!

Some might say it's definitely the supernatural realm of how Yukichi could evolve into a state akin to a human being, though we don't really need that answer, do we? All you need to know is that Yukichi is the big fat black cat who takes pride in his housekeeping skills, all in an effort to earn the coveted cat can. And to get there, he has to take care of his nonchalant owner, Saku, from day to night, covering her three meals and her small apartment like a maid who is loyal to the one who hired her. From home to the supermarket, everyone knows Yukichi and gets used to his usual shenanigans. With the smug looks of his that he gets to be masterful each and every day! From the usual cashier girl that he meets (Rio Nishina) to his idol interest with the young girl (Yume), Yukichi's life is abundant, fun and fulfilling. All that matters is how his owner Saku always treats him with both goodness and disdain; as the title goes, the Masterful Cat sometimes get Depressed all over again! But in all seriousness, Saku needs a helper to get through her life in one piece, and she should be glad that Yukichi never gave up on her as her personal housekeeping life partner.

Never did I think that GoHands would come back with vengeance for not 1, but 2 shows, but their 2.5D to 3DCG aesthetic is so well-known that you can't unsee it. In this case, it seems to be well produced, and with that fake cinematic production of a weird animation combi that's uniquely GoHands, they did a good job with the adaptation, all things considered, unlike Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta, where they knew that that show would pop more with the audience. Simplicity is best, and this anime has done that.

somei and asmi's OST theme songs as per OP and ED songs, respectively, are good, though I find the songs to be on the slow side, which is exactly what the anime is trying to achieve here. It's decent as far as the typical average Joe is concerned.

All in all, this is a show where comfort takes centre stage, and with a big cat taking care of a young woman who is struggling in life, what more could you ask for from an anthropomorphic caretaker who constantly has smug faces for confidantes but whose owner is a lazy prick whom he doesn't mind taking care of? It's simply fun entertainment, and that's all that matters.

Before you do anything, i recommend just watching the first 3 minutes of this anime. The animation quality was just absolutely ridiculous and you should watch that even if you are not interested in the rest of the anime.

A lady with a huge cat. The hook is that the cat is "masterful" and can do basically all things a maid does like shopping, cooking, cleaning etc.. Everything else about this world is normal including MC's work or other characters. The anime is 90% about the daily ordinary life of our MC and her maid cat with some potential office romance. So, as long as ... you understand that, you will love the anime.

The production seems to be one of the best in the current season. Especially the first episode was movie level in terms of direction and animation. Even the rest of the episodes are definitely great and makes me feel like i am watching a KyoAni series.

This series has one job to do: drown the audience with super sweet moments. And this series does that job very well. The cat and its shenanigans are funny and heartwarming. Although, i would have loved it if the cat could talk, but that is a minor complaint.

This is probably the most perfect series for cat owners to indulge in. It's such an amazingly happy and light hearted series and every episode you cannot help but smile the entire time. The characters are super fun, and the main is less one dimensional than you would think considering this is a comedy.

This is what GoHands is capable of when they tone down with their wild ideas, some of the best animation I've ever seen in a series of this type, maybe ever. It's refreshing to see an anime where every second of it's run time was made for the purpose of the scene ... and we don't get many of those now a days, and what I mean by that is there are no close up frames that are super simple that purposely omits background details to make it easier to animate, or inconsistent art. Every frame of the series, every single nanosecond is perfectly drawn and animated with care, they even put in the effort of going the extra mile. With the amount of effort put in and they probably knew that it likely wasn't going to break any records or being immensely popular and for that alone this deserve immense praise. I'll be keeping an eye on GoHands from now on and see what they cook up next!

A very strong 8/10 and it's killing me to not put it up higher. Extremely underrated, and a must watch for cat owners.

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today is an anime gem, offering a captivating blend of emotion, storytelling, and endearing characters. This series transcends typical anime boundaries by exploring the profound connection between humans and their feline companions. Its touching narrative unveils the complexities of life, love, and loneliness through the eyes of a cat. Viewers will find themselves engrossed in a richly developed world filled with relatable characters.

The anime's strong start with a cinematic feel draws you in, and though it adopts an episodic format, it continues to engage with its thought-provoking themes. Fans of cat lovers and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of ... the human condition will appreciate this masterpiece. It's a heartfelt journey that leaves a lasting impact, making it an absolute recommendation for those looking for a unique and emotionally resonant anime experience. Don't miss this extraordinary series.

Iit's important to judge shows for what they, this is a wholesome slice of life about a giant cat who is helping his owner to be a better person and get more out of life. Yukichi (the cat) doesn't talk and despite what he is capable and his size he is still very much a cat in personality and behavior. As a cat owner and lover this is one of the best parts of the show as he feels like he's actually a cat who just happened to be giant and smart, figuring out the world around him. The way Yukichi has been fit into ... the world because of a combination of people's love for cats, the overly conscientious of people and skepticism leading to him just being left alone as he goes about errands is a delightful way of subverting expectations and setting up interesting interactions. Overall this is one of the best representations of a cat as a character in any anime and the supporting cast is endearing and the dialogue is well written and hits alot on the classic "misunderstanding" stye of humor present in alot of slice of life anime.

Dekineko is the best GoHands show of the season. It’s a wholesome, cute and fluffy watch that while simple, is not lacking in impact. It’s a beautiful story of a girl and her cat, a tale as old as time itself. With some gorgeous animation, a touching story and arguably the waifu of the season, it’s a must watch for any slice of life fan or cat lover.

Dekineko is essentially a way better “Senko-San”. While we’ve seen these types of stories with an inept adult who’s taken care of by a magical spirit before, Dekineko is unique in that Saku subverts some common tropes. Instead ... of it being a guy who’s useless with things around the house, it’s a beautiful woman who literally can’t do anything besides getting drunk and practicing martial arts. The unique take on the set-up makes for some really hilarious situations.

To the outside world, Saku has everything figured out and is the ideal “high-spec” senpai who anyone would want to marry. In reality, she’s only able to put on such a strong front for the world because of the support that Yukichi gives her. While the two often buttheads, it’s undeniable how much love they have between them. The wholesome dynamic and mutual sense of appreciation between Saku and her cat are palpable. I mean seriously, can you imagine cleaning up after someone every single morning, afternoon and night? That’s real love. We all need a Yukichi.

Saku also happens to be one of the most relatable characters I’ve seen in anime. She is the personification of a young adult trying to make it in this world and it’s easy to see yourself in her. Obviously things are played up for laughs and dramatized, but there is a degree of realism to her that few characters capture. Sadly, we don’t all have a Yukichi to care for us.

Many will praise the gorgeous art and animation and point to that as a reason you should watch this, and while true it does have some amazing production values, I think that’s selling Dekineko short. It’s a good anime simply put and the straightforward, but effective story can stand on its own merits. The daily adventures of Saku and Yukichi are so fun to watch. It’s stories like these that remind us of what’s important in life. As long as you come home to people that love and appreciate you, you’re living a great life. Endearing moments like Saku calling Yukichi on the phone because she misses him and his cooking, or thanking him for putting up with her incompetence just work so well in this one. It’s truly fluff in the best sense of the word. Airing on Fridays after a long week was a perfect spot for this one.

Saku and Yukichi are the heart of the story, but there’s some really good side characters in this one as well! Saku’s manager and co-workers are awesome and I loved seeing them praise her the whole time not knowing Yukichi is behind her success. Lots of really funny scenes between all of them. There were some subtle romance hints between Saku and one character that I wish would have got explored more, but when you got someone as good as Yukichi at home, how could you date someone?

When all’s said and done, Dekineko should go down as one of the best slice of life shows of the year. Film like production values, a waifu of the season candidate in Saku, adorable slice of life moments and a heartwarming plot that you can’t get enough of. Simply put, this was like anime crack and I want it injected straight into my veins, asap. A brilliant watch.

Dekineko gets 9 out of 10.

Here is my review of this anime in 2023!

The story is about someone who is very lazy and accidentally finds a stray cat near Her house. This person rarely maintained Her health and his room looked like trash.

The cat is not normal, He's very huge and can do human activities like cooking, walking, etc.

Overall (9)
Recommended for those who love slice-of-life, comedy, and adventure anime.

*I thought that this anime was bad after seeing the cover but after watching it, it's not bad at all.

Dekiru Neko does something I think is a death sentence in most shows: constraining one of the main characters into a singular room nearly all the time. Several shows did this, the most recent that I remember being isekai Ojisan, and all of them get so stale due to the lack of scenes and variety that comes with the almost suffocating lack of room for any sort of creativity to create new scenes.

However, Dekiru Neko kept me hooked for the whole 13 episodes. The charm is already apparent in the first episode, introducing Fukuzuawa being exasperated at having such a big cat that can ... cook and clean. The pilot episode doesn't feel like an info dump and instead serves to show the close relationship between Yukichi and Fukuzawa. And this relationship is obviously what carries the show. Both characters are cute, and the slice-of-life scenes of their mundane relationship living together in an apartment are just nice to watch. It reminds me of Minami ke in terms of transforming day-to-day activities into something fun to watch. The character archetypes are pretty typical, but the show clearly has something that other shows just don't get right. Even a typical scene of Fukuzawa overeating Yukichi's meals and getting fat, and Yukichi and Fukuzawa's subsequent attempts at slimming down become something that's actually fun to watch.

Fukuzawa is slothful by nature. She's entirely dependent on her cat of all things, to cook, clean, and do all household chores. Yet, she's also nice, and kind and loves her cat, which is why Yukichi deals with her. Yukichi, the cat is more bitter and acts like he doesn't care about Fukuzawa at all, but overall finds joy in his life housekeeping the home and keeping her healthy.

There are a few points that elevate the show. Of course, the main takeaway of the show is Yukichi maintaining his persona as a cat. While he's a big cat that's got human-like intelligence, he never talks. He empathizes and loves Fukuzawa and Fukuzawa does too, but he's...a cat. Indeed, if he could talk and was a regular guy, this show might have been a regular slice-of-life romance show. But the show never does that. There's no actual romance...after all, Yukichi's a cat. Fukuzawa doesn't have a boyfriend and there's practically no talk of romance when it comes to Fukuzawa, and nor are there any love interests of particular note. Instead, it's just a big old bitter cat that lives with Fukuzawa.

Fukuzawa's voice acting also carries the show. Her voice isn't too high, the comedic moments are well executed, and her complaining tone hits just right whenever she vents to Yukichi. Yui Ishikawa, the VA for Fukuzawa carries the show, especially since Yukichi doesn't talk outside of his monologues. This means that Fukuzawa is basically monologuing to herself half the time.

There are a few things that hold the show back. Yukichi's backstory is shown 100 times in order to save the show budget which interferes with some of the pacing, but the more important thing is how the animation is just okay. The backgrounds are clearly done in CGI in some parts and they actually look pretty good, but the character animation, facial features, and overall fluidity are a bit rigid. It's not terribly bad and it doesn't take me away from the show at all, but if the animation was superb, then this show would have ranked much higher.

I almost forgot to mention the soundtrack. Again, normally soundtracks in these types of shows are just "there." The OST fits in as background music and emphasizes the scene and that's about it. However, the standard for the soundtracks in the show are just abysmal. I understand that the show wanted to be a bit different and introduce some synth, chill, electronic vibes but honestly, it just sounds like AI generated garage band music. It's terribly generic and actually distracts me from the dialogue and scene sometimes for how jarring and awful it sounds. Some parts of the OST are much better than others, but overall, this experimentation with the OST was a definite failure.



Fukuzawa and Yukichi carried this show as the two --and basically the only characters--main characters of the show. However, there are a few side characters that could have been expanded upon. It's a shame since it's not like there weren't any side characters to be taken advantage of: the show merely focuses on Yukichi and Fukuzawa and leaves little for the other characters to have their own screen time.

These complaints are merely nitpicks, though, and really don't take away from how fun to watch the interaction between Fukuzawa and Yukichi.

I went into this anime having watched the other GoHands animation that came out recently not even knowing it was by the studio, and immediately recognized the style in the first episode, but once that logo popped up, I knew my eyes and entertainment was going to be in good hands.

What can be said that hasn't about this anime is that many people take shows too seriously, much like they do in real life, and this show isn't meant to please any of those people. Instead, here you will find a story for a seasoned veteran in Slice of Life who wants a comfy feel-good ... show in this tragic day and age, and it does a damn good job at ticking every box for how you make a completely void of any true negativity anime.

First you have the lovely character, Saku Fuzukawa. With not only perfectly medium-is-premium character design, but also a great and close to home personality. It goes without saying that she should be the standard. She's really nice, good with kids and loves cats. What more could you ask for?

Speaking of cats, of course, the star of the show, Yukichi. How could you possibly design a human-like cat any better? We all know cats are secretly fed up with us humans, so he hits all the spots for what a cat may think to itself when having to deal with one. However it is important to note that as the show depicts, the reason this cat much like others decide to stay and take care of their owner, is because otherwise they'd have a huge inconvenience of finding a food source.

All in all character design is great, the story without spoiling too much really goes into the details of a cat's mind, and honestly it may be one of the most life-changing anime this year.

I continuously asked myself "What the hell is wrong with this anime?" while watching this anime. The animation is so absolutely ridiculously good that it's confusing. They aren't animating anything that needs that much detail. This show rides and dies on its dialogue and comedy, which is does very well. And this show would have still gotten a very high score without having the quality of animation it had. But right off the top, every little movement of the characters and their environments is so detailed and deeply-imagined that I was constantly replaying scenes to catch all the details. ... Little stuff like the way carrots roll, or the way rain hits an umbrella, they're so insanely well-animated in this series. It feels like the writing and plot would have made the series a nice tasty slice of cake already, but the animation just makes it like galaxy mirror cake. To find out that this came from the same studio that made the absolute abhorrent trash that was Hand Shakers is just amazing to me. I hope they can continue to put out stuff which caters to a more mature audience.

I recommend this anime to anyone who likes saccharine comedies, who likes cats, or who likes ridiculous animation for scenes that do not require it at all.

Cat owners usually clean up after their cats; we clean our cats’ litter tray, their food bowl, and their fur off furniture and other objects. We usually have to do checkups with the vet to ensure our cats are healthy, and that’s only a few of the things we need to do. But what if there was a cat that not only takes care of itself, but is an absolute clean freak, cooks meals for its owner and makes sure its owner is healthy? It wouldn’t be us that would clean up after the cat, it would be it cleaning up after us! Well, meet ... Yukichi from Dekiru Neko wa Kyou mo Yuuutsu, or The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today. With him, you wouldn’t have to worry about keeping your lifestyle at home organized again! (Do watch out for when you tick him off though).

So, you’re probably wondering, how the heck did owner and cat switch roles? I’ll give a short explanation here:

Fukuzawa Saku is a woman who works at an office and comes home drunk nearly every day. Her life at her apartment room is a total mess because she can’t for the life of her clean anything up or cook properly! She lives alone so there isn’t really anyone that could really assist her. So, when Saku takes in a stray cat from outside and names it ‘Yukichi’, her lifestyle would begin to take a turn. Little did she know, this cat would grow and grow... until it was bigger than a normal human! Moreover, the cat would start to take care of Saku and her apartment room and learn to go outside for groceries! So that’s how all of this started.

Dekineko is a mostly chill slice of life-ish comedy anime focusing around our two main characters, Saku and Yukichi. Saku is usually the one to start all the funny stuff by being lazy, drunk, and trying to hide from her coworkers that she has a giant cat in her house. Yukichi is always cleaning up after her, is always reluctant to give her alcohol and attempts to wake her up for work, but most of the time she ends up oversleeping anyway. It’s kind of like a battle between the two, except Saku only wants her fix of alcohol and time off from work. That’s all this anime really is about – it’s so simple and I love it.

Something to give praise to is the animation handling. A few of us have seen what GoHands has done with Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta this season, and the animation handling and art in that is quite a bit nauseating. It seems they’ve toned down on the 2.5D animation thing in this anime, which, thank goodness, works perfectly. (However, the first few minutes do use 2.5D animation which wasn’t a very good first impression for me. Don’t be fooled though!!!). The animation handling is clean and feels smooth. It’s not stiff but the animators didn’t bust their guts trying to animate in fifty frames a second, either… although there are some scenes where the characters look like they use sixty bottles of conditioner a day, which looks ridiculous. There is barely any use of 3D except for some cars and sometimes the background.

The artstyle that’s used fits really well with the animation handling. Nothing is overdone, but it definitely doesn’t look generic. I especially liked the way they designed the eyes. It’s kinda like the way the eyes in Steins;Gate look if they didn’t have the white dot in the center. Some expressions the characters make are quite ridiculous but honestly, they work just fine, especially since it’s a comedy anime. They have quite a bit of variety to them too, so you won’t be fed the same thing expecting to laugh each time. One gripe I do have is the lighting in the anime, especially at daytime. It’s kind of weird and hard to look at and ruins a bit of the enjoyability. It does have a nice realistic air to it though.

Unlike many other comedy anime, Dekineko has a good selection of music. What do I mean by a good selection? It’s balanced and nothing sounds like it came from a random royalty-free music site. Not every track portrays “Haha, lol!!”, there are some genuinely good tracks you could just vibe to by itself without it feeling weird. The sound effects are also a nice touch; they really add to the whole funny vibe without feeling intrusive. There’s also a narrator.

All in all, Dekiru Neko wa Kyou mo Yuuutsu is a fun little comedy anime with slice of life elements mixed in. Our two main characters have a hilarious dynamic together; it’s a friendly-fire war between a clean freak and a messy freak, and you’ll enjoy just about every moment. From Fukuzawa Saku’s tiring work life and funnily disorganized lifestyle, to Yukichi and his obsessive cleanliness disorder, to meeting new people who think Yukichi is just a man in a costume, to, uh… well… that’s basically all this anime is about. Yet it’s such an enjoyable anime! Even if half of the anime is set in Saku’s apartment room, it’s all about her and Yukichi’s chaotic and hilarious life there.

Trust me, you're never gonna wanna leave Yukichi after watching this.

Thank you for reading my review.

While a lot of anime is lightly veiled wish fulfillment, The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today shows that anime has not yet used every possible combination of ideas in coming up with a somewhat novel premise: What if your cat grew to be the size of a human and became your domestic caretaker?

This show speaks to the overworked single while sidestepping whatever complicated feelings they might have about parents or significant others, getting to the core idea: Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to take care of you at home?

Now I'll be completely straight with you here: This show is largely ... a slice of life, is mostly episodic and has a little bit of (very light) situational humour. While any individual episode has a plot of sorts and there is some continuity throughout the series, this is not the place to come if you're looking for a plots twists and dramatic character development. That said, the characters are lively, and the story, given the parameters it's working with, is reasonably engaging.

If what you've read piques your interest, I encourage you to check it out; you'll know within an episode or two if it's for you.

One of the best short-story anime I have seen. There's just something very special about it.

The plot is rather simple: the life of an office worker and her servant cat that tends to her home and her wellbeing. Each episode unfolds much like a day of interesting events. There is no grand scheme or designs incorporated such as politics or an evil organisation trying to take over the world. I suppose you could say it tries to adhere to the simple slice-of-life genre, keeping things rather simple, but in an interesting way.

Most of the characters focused on have a level of depth and uniqueness that ... make them interesting to watch.

The art is particularly interesting. While it maintains the expectations of the current generation, there's a continuous theme of green that overlays the entirety of the anime. This is often seen throughout the episodes.

I'm not sure if I am watching this show wrong by wanting to be the cat spoiling my overworked human (even my mannerisms are the same dangit!), but alas, there's definitely some enjoyment to be had. This was one of those rare series that might just actually be improved by the weekly release format, with small, self-contained episodes of light humor, pretty food, and general cuteness.
Thats about it, the biggest plot twist you'll find is the animation studio ABSOLUTELY FLEXING ON YOU for a silly lil show about a ridiculously tall cat and his pet drunk, so even if caretaker type shows arent your deal, ... watch the first 5 minutes for the crazy rotoscope shots

A complete delight! Fukuzawa is a seemingly well put-together salarywoman, but behind closed doors is the very definition of a hot mess! Her secret weapon: Yukichi, her giant bipedal cat - think Totoro but more attitude - that has taken to cooking, cleaning, and carrying her (often literally) through all of the responsibilities of adulting! We all know this girl, and have probably been her at some point. Fukuzawa’s utter helplessness is hilariously relatable, and Yukichi is that coveted supporter we all seek. Lighthearted, easy to watch, and gorgeous to look at. This is the perfect Sunday morning show, offering a certain warmth and coziness ... with each episode. Whether or not you’re a cat person, you will 100% find yourself wishing you had your own Yukichi to look after you, and let’s face it, you’ll be wishing you could squeeze those toe beans!

Sometimes live become too overwelming and you just want to have someone to look after you.
In „The Masterful Cat is depressed again today", Saku Fukuzawa, young corporate salarywoman, who is the protagonist, brings that someone home with her. Of course, without her knowledge.

The story contains every day „normal" life of a cat owner and her so-called cat. But there is one minor inconvenience. The cat, named Yukichi, is abnormaly big. Why? Well, nobody knows. That's just how it is, and we, the viewers, just have to go with the flow.
This show is slow but also engaging, and lives of our two protagonists is very ... entertaining. Because Saku can't do anything on her own, so her pet takes over the role of a caregiver.
Yukichi does the cooking, cleaning and shopping. He even gives his mistress baths. How bizzare is that!

Saku and Yukichi have a strong bond even if the cat is not always very happy with its owner. Seeing it made my heart grow and I felt that we all have, or should have, that special someone who help us survive our days. And at the end of it raise with us a toast with a „beer" in hand.

Both protagonists have their own motives that drives them through their daily lives. We don't get all the answers for „why" or „for what" but this show it's just too lovable to miss.
