Don't waste your time with this anime if you are expecting something that is entertaining and not entirely filler slop. I agree "slice of life" animes do tend to steer towards feeling like filler but this anime just feels in complete, it feels like all the episodes were pulled from a bigger better anime and these were just the filler episodes.. the only thing that made up for how boring this anime was was the end cards. The characters felt extremely flat or even like they had the same personality, there was also a LOT of weird things done with the character 'cacao'... yuck..

7/10, honestly.
I dont remember much as i watched this quite a while ago, but i pretty much enjoy nekopara (this and the games) .
Obviously, this wasnt a BAD anime. nor was it drop-dead beautiful. it was.. decent? but leaning towards good. i would normally give it a 6/10 if it wasnt for the catgirls
YES i know the whole purpose of the anime is the catgirls but, who doesnt love catgirls. be honest with me.
Also, i love the idea of catgirls running a cafe— it sorta reminds me of cat cafes? if yaknow what i mean.
but theres one thing i dislike. dont get me wrong, i love my girl cinnamon but whenever she opens her mouth its always somethinf sexual i dunno why. its a weird character trait tbf, like i dont want to hear moaning or whatever every single time she talks!! STOP THIS!!

For those who don't know, the show is based off of an erotic visual novel. For those who know, don't expect similar content as in the visual novels. Most of the development in visual novels is cut from the anime adaptation – story progress, character development, romance (and no sexual content either; just occasional pervy jokes from Cinnamon). Expect just a simple slice of life comedy with a lot of cuteness and catgirls we already know from the novels.
With the introduction of an anime original catgirl (Cacao), the show got at least some original content. First 3-4 episodes are focused on this new catgirl and how she is getting used to living with other catgirls along with Kashou and Shigure.
Then the show takes its slice of life episodic pattern, which is a bit of a shame. Because of t…

If i am going to be totally honest.
This anime is one of my favorites! but. it's not really special or something.
it's a really cutesy anime with lots of cute things happening.
with catgirls! omg!
i think it has well written characters with each their own unique design and personality. and most of the time that's all it takes to make my heart content.
i am not picky, i am satisfied pretty fast.
the artstyle is very cute and cartoony aswell. but my favorite nekopara artstyle is the one from volume 4. and i know, nekopara is suppossed to be ecchi but i am not here for that. in fact, not a fan. i am here specifically for the character tropes and the catgirls!
i hope my review makes sense and will help people!

Recommendation: Skip it unless you really like catgirls.
Positives:
+ Delivers exactly what it advertises. Each episode is 20 minutes of catgirls being cute and absolutely nothing else. And let's be honest, that's the reason you're going to watch this. So even though it's not a "good" show, you'll probably like it if you know exactly what to expect from it.
+ Can be funny when it leans into the idea of them literally being cats, like Vanilla kneading on Chocola's stomach to wake her up, or them being unable to resist the urge to sit in a random box that's been left out.
Negatives:
- The catgirls are too childlike or infantilized for the amount of fanservice and sexualization. The gratuitous ass shots and boob jiggling come off as a bit creepy when they're mostly treated like children…

A confused story, which explains nothing of where the cat people come from, why there is only females, and why they are not seen in outside society as outside cacao and the beach hut episode, no other cats seemed featured. So we find out a brother and sister took in a bunch of cats, and now use them as free labor in return for caring, clothing them, etc, a capitalist paradise. The cats are of course all attractive, at first bar Cacao unless you're a loli/pedo lover. In the game, Kashou sleeps with all the cats but there is no sign of this ever happening in this series as all he cares about is baking and the business. his sister has a bigger cat fetish it seems and enjoys dressing them up, doing health checks, stripping them down to underwear to measure them, etc, some of the few ecchi mome…

This anime was very cringy in the way it was adapted from the visual novel to the anime format. It is basically a bunch of catgirls running around playing maid and dress up in a bakery shop only this time it does not have any of the H scenes present that were present within the visual novel. I'd say, looking back on this anime is very hard to watch requiring certain moments of time where have to pause, take a break, and maybe go grab something to drink and before watching. I do love watching cringy stuff and very painful to watch animes as I get pure enjoyment when I find a gem in the rough like this one. But in all seriousness I thought the story was adequate, the art style was pretty good, and the harem trope with the weird incest sister to be a little bit offputting. Overall I would rat…

Nekopara is just plain boring. That's all there really is to it. It doesn't have much of a "plot," because that isn't what its going for, but the individual episodes don't have enough substance in them to really warrant watching them. I probably would have rated this show a 6 if it weren't for the fact that I was completely bored of it by episode 4. Only reason I really finished it was because me and some friends watched it (and the movie and OVA) as a joke. A boring, 4 hour long joke. The humor in this show is pretty bland, mostly just boiling down to cat puns and "this character is quirky and does X," over and over again. The other main appeal is the cute/wholesome aspect of it, which it doesn't really deliver on. Despite raising $1,000,000, this show looks cheaply made. That kind of ham…

Do you know about Cats?
Cute ears that wiggle sensitively....
Tails that wag expressively,
responding to emotions....
Attached to a bipedal creature
of the utmost charm..... Do you like cats like that?
Then you are coming to the write place. It is a daily lives of members of the Minazuki household continue their everyday lives—bound to become livelier than ever.
If you don't like neko, just leave it , why are doing bad rating , It is for those who loves them.
Art is good with soothing storyline.
Bonding + kawaiii fillled moments throughout the series......
But of course, there’s always the visual novel to fulfill #1 and Elon Musk to genetically engineer the cat girls for #2, so basically, all is right in the world and Nekopara is one of the most significant and enlightening creation…

No actual story development but was fun to watch for gags and loads of fun. Wish there was more character development overall but I enjoyed the show. Wish they also gave more screen time to the la patisserie dude cuz I thought he was the main character (which he is) but gets less screen time later on. Overall I wouldn’t put this in the romance but in the slide of life and comedy section. It’s a great distraction from the real world and the music absolutely slaps. Hoping for a second season or an ova. I didn’t kno they were from a game but I would rather watch this than play the game. A pure anime for all the innocent minded people but can have a few dirty jokes here and there from cinnamon. Recommended for pg14+

What would you do if you found out that an anime moe is an adaptation of an adult Visual Novel? The normal thing to do is to stop watching anything about the anime, because you don't expect to see this type of genre being adapted, especially through TV. However, I need to inform you that Nekopara is a preview of what the game's story would be, without the explicit scenes and with a hint of suggestive moments. Does that make anime good? NOT!! And we need to talk about it.
Nekopara tells a very simple story: Kashou owns a bakery, called La Soleil. The confectionery has cats as employees, divided into three pairs, where the “maid café” style predominates. Her sister, Shigure, is the one who gives housing and comfort to most of the cats who work there. The synopsis, by itself, already indicat…

TLDR: If you want to fuck your cat, you should watch this but if you want character development and story please go watch another show.
I understand if you don't want to read a 20 page dissertation about a catgirl anime, but here is my review of Nekopara. If you want, just read my overall paragraph but I tried to bring in as much insight as I could. After watching the twelve episodes of eye-bleach that this anime was, I can honestly say it wasn't that bad. I came in with low expectations after seeing the shitshow that the OVA was, but the anime exceeded my very low exceptions. The main complaint I'm seeing in reviews is that there is hardly any character development and there is literally no story, and they aren't wrong; however, I find it pathetic to see a bunch of people crying about th…

Nekopara is an anime about the lives of six nekomimi, throughout the anime they embark on shenanigans and other adventures.
The story- 1/10
Honestly there really isn’t any story to talk about, there is no real permanent change or development in the characters. The show just doesn’t follow any sort of path.
Art- 6/10
The art style for the anime can nowhere compare to the art in the visual novels, but it is a cute and simplistic style that fits the mood of the show.
Sound- 8/10
The OST is basically just the music from the visual novels but the op and ed are pretty good, the music is nice and happy and it fits the scenes that they are in. Even though it takes from the visual novels, who says that’s a bad thing? The music in this show does its job and it does its job well.

Nekopara, you're either going to love it or hate it, its a fun watch but ultimately you're going to fall into one of two camps, you will either have no idea what Nekopara is and find this garbage, or know what Nekopara is and be disappointing, Let me Explain:
This review has minor character arch spoilers.
Nekopara was originally an Adult Visual Novel of the 18+ variety, in these games you will eventually form an adult relationship with each of the girls making them your "Catpanions" this is supported by some pretty good Character development and individual unique Character archs, these games did a fantastic job of developing each of the characters, this does not carry over into the Anime and how could it as it for obvious reasons cannot include 90% of the Source material.

Nekopara is a fun, ecchi story about cat girls running a café. Based off the hit video game it’s quite fun to watch and enjoy.
Story – 8
With a well written universe that incorporates cat girls in a believable way, it’s fun to see these cats act. The dialogue is reasonable and it’s fun to see the arguments between some of the cats.it shares many of the ideas from the games and it’s great to see these stories in animation form. There is a story that lasts through out the whole season and the story stays quite consistent throughout.
Art – 8
I enjoy the style, it’s not exactly like the games, but it is quite nice. The art stays consistent through the series and its fluid. It’s fun to see characters emotions and the art allows the characters to express emotion really well.
Sound – 7

Catgirls are cute right? so by using catgirls as selling point in the anime being cute all the time things will be very great right? Nothing could ever go wrong right?
WRONG.
Nekopara is and adaptation of Eroge game, The anime is so-so innoncent compared to the game, There is almost no Ecchi at all, only soft ecchi scene. This anime is another boring slice of life anime with no real story or even purpose except being accepted as innoncent way to cater to nekomimi fetishist.
Don't get me wrong, I love slice of life anime, I watched lots of good slice of life anime. Eventhough slice of life anime might feel like they have no story at all, actually they do. Taking Example from "Non-Non Biyori", they have story of Hotaru moving from town to rural area, trying to bond with locals adjusting he…

Reviews in 100 words or less:
By far the best thing about NP is the Art and the Sound. The characters are drawn really well, but it kind of ends there for me. I was hoping for a wholesome show, but there really is excessive sexual innuendos which get in the way of me happily watching cats do their thing. One small gripe is that the world is supposed to be full of catgirls, but outside of the household there are literally 0 other catgirls until the very last episode... Overall, cute and fun but you have to sift through all the "moist" stuff.

First of all NekoPara does not deserve a 6.87 rating! Even Joey "The Anime Man" agrees that all the hate on the anime adaptation is unnecessary! (The Anime Man Video Source, Time Stamp, and Explanation on why is in the story rating segment below)
I played the R18 games, I watched the OVA, and now I just finished watching the anime! And here I am wanting more adorable neko cuteness!
It's been quite a while since I last played the game and watched the OVA so it felt very nostalgic and just like how I enjoyed playing the games and watching the OVA, I enjoyed every episode of adorable neko cuteness! So with that let's get to the ratings!
Story: 8
One word, WHOLESOME! From episode 1 to 12 I always had a smile on my face. I felt very happy and enjoyed every single episode! I don't know why t…

Cute, but pervertedly weird at times. There was a little story progression at first, but then not really at all.
Music:
This music was great for setting the scenes, but I hated the scenes. All so childish music and sounds. It did a good job with the music, but I hated that children's' zylophone so much.
Characters:
I have to give a good review of the characters because while they were all weird, and extremely perverted, they all stuck to their character persona. There was no odd changes to the personalities.
Story:
Most the episodes were okay, but just had weird stories. Then suddenly on the last episode, there is some sort of character development. Well, that and the episode where the two sisters compete.
Final thoughts:
A perverted show, made by perverts, for perverts. I did not ex…

So, this anime. It's cats and girls. yay?
What should you expect from this anime:
Cute Nekos doing cute things, and the funniest part, this was a H game on steam. ok. No one gave a crap but then they made an anime out of it. why? this is literally a joke. Honestly, CS would have made a more exciting anime. also, If you were expecting another boob fest like in Interspecies Reviewers, jokes on you!!! they took out most of the porn! So now, whether you are some degen who likes cat puss, or you just want a decent comedy, YOU GET NONE!! HAHAHAH
Whats it about?
So, a bunch of fucking cat girls come in a box to help a chef, and why? so he can fuck them? ok degen, keep in mind they are the age of fucking cats, and they are like fucking toddlers. But of course, he doesnt. thank god. Since the e…
