Anime 51916 Dekiru Neko Wa Kyou Mo Yuuutsu Reviews Filter Check 2

So, this is slice of life anime easy to watch. The plot is quite simple, even though at the end we just assume how the cat gets as big as a human, but aside from that is sweet and fun. Can be enjoyable just at times were you don't want to drain your brain with more complex stories.

The animation was very good, I think the studio did a great job with that. The character designs are pretty too. I was quite surprised in that fact.

But, I would have liked a little bit more of plot itself. It's a personal preference but I like when stories ... seem to move forward, even if is just in a small matter. And since I didn't feel any character development either, I think it's just 'okay' . Nothing more

I find this anime to be too simple. They put so much effort in the animation and design yet fail to create a story or character development. The first episode got me hooked as it looked promising yet 13 episodes later nothing really happened. The character relationships developed ever so slightly and the characters themselves haven't changed at all. I really don't understand how they decided to animate this for 13 episodes when it could have been a pretty good OVA (maybe 40 min).

As it stands, I did enjoy the first few episodes but it became tiring after the 5th or 6th episode especially with ... the soundtrack repeating over and over. I also liked the overall story and the characters. If this had been an OVA or perhaps short episodes I would have rated it higher.

The Maneko of the House.

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today is the antithesis of a Studio GoHands anime. Not only is it a GoHands anime that is actually watchable without vomiting all over yourself due to the studio's nauseating gimmicks, but it also captures its strengths as an animation studio without relying on those very same gimmicks.

The story is simple. Adult mess and cat lover Saku takes in a stray cat who becomes more than she bargained for when that same cat grows twenty times its size and becomes her live-in housekeeper, chef and emotional support system. She doesn’t understand why her overgrown cat, ... Yukichi acts the way he does or why he looks after her, but she tries her best to understand him whilst keeping him a secret from her work colleagues for obvious reasons.
It's not anything groundbreaking. If you’re not into your slice-of-life, work-life comedies you’ll probably find it difficult to stick this one out past three episodes as the pacing can be a bit slow and aimless, but you might be charmed by the wonderful supporting cast plus Saku and Yukichi’s dynamic which can be described as a proud cat mom being looked after by her actual mom who is also a cat.

I praise GoHands for putting out an anime without the usual GoHands gimmicks shoved into each episode allowing the actual animation talents of GoHands’ animation staff to shine through. With animation and storyboarding that is shockingly on par with some of the upper-tier animation studio's outputs, The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today proves that studio GoHands can be an actual, competent studio! However, that doesn't mean Master Cat is free from the GoHands bullshit. The OP and the intro to the office in the first episode may be less vomit-inducing to watch than The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses but GoHands still tries. There's also the ugly piss-coloured hue filter that gives the show a greenish tinge they use to help cover up the inconsistencies of the line art and the colours which is extremely distracting. However, those little GoHands moments that make you think “Oh yeah, this is a GoHands anime” are few and far between and the show is better for it.

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today is a delightful anime for those who want something low-stakes and chill. It's not the most engaging show due to how static its cast of characters is, but it's charming nonetheless. GoHands has proven that with restraint (or maybe a lack of resources ironically) it can make a watchable anime.

6/10 It’s Okay.

The pacing of the first episode was awful, probably the worst pacing I've ever seen.
While the visuals of the 3D animation were great, the whole show just feels like a 3D animation tech demo instead of an actual anime.
I don't know why people love this so much, I found this to be the worst watching experience I've had in YEARS.

This is the Sharknado of anime.
Why do I say it's the Sharknado of anime? Well, Sharknado was bad because of its horrible 3D animation, but the 3D environments of this anime (not animation) are actually quite well-made. Despite this, it is INCREDIBLY out of place, and ... throws off the whole thing.
Sometimes your good ol' pal Yukichi will be 2D, and then suddenly their apron is RTX on 3D animation.

Watching the first episode made me want to stop watching past the 15 minute mark, and that's a lot considering how often I stick through anime even if it's horrible.

The first episode felt like it was 48 minutes, not 23.
I genuinely could not tell when it would end, and was baffled when I got to the next scene for another 5 minutes.
The amount of awkward camera angles and over-exaggerated movements that don't even exist in the source material is reallllllyyyyyyy bad.
It seems like the pacing was so bad due to them trying to fit as many chapters into a single episode as possible.
The web series flows way better than the anime, so I highly recommend the web series as the characters feel more lively and enjoyable.


Overall, I'd recommend reading the web series over watching this, as since it's a web series, the pacing is all over the place.
