Nobody expects a show about talking cats running Japan in 2200 to be this genuinely funny about loneliness. The chemistry between a girl and her cat isn't cute-coded nonsense, it's two creatures stuck with each other, arguing their way into actually understanding what it means to not be alone. Comedy this sharp about mundane future life, grounded in a premise this absurd, only lands once.
In the year 2200, Japan's falling birth rate has shrunk its human population so much that the country has turned into a land of cats. Cats in this future can talk, study and hold jobs. The story centers on a high school girl and the cat she lives with, a pet who loves to argue. Across twelve short episodes, the show mixes comedy and science fiction with everyday slice-of-life moments.
