Rat's desperation to drag a house cat into celestial bureaucracy never stops being funny because the show commits entirely to treating zodiac membership interviews like they matter. Twelve mythological animals conducting formal proceedings while Cat just sits there bewildered creates a comedy of absolute sincerity colliding with the most mundane cosmic indifference imaginable. Season two doubles down on what worked: watching someone's love for another creature get filtered through the most unnecessarily complicated system possible.

Doushitemo Eto ni Hairitai 2 is the second season of the short-form comedy about Rat, a member of the Zodiac, and Cat, an ordinary cat Rat met in a park. Rat grew so fond of Cat that it set out to get Cat admitted to the Zodiac, taking Cat along to meet the rest of the twelve Zodiac members and ask for a place. The season returns with 13 short episodes.
