I watched season 1 before the OVA's and saw how devoid it was of emotion except between the partnered-up cats, so I expected nothing much. However, upon watching in many cases i noticed a personality transplant of most characters.
Suddenly, characters were more warm, caring, dependent on their master as things revolved around chocola and Vanilla. Vanilla closed off into Chocola's shadow more, and chocola became the one who pushes for affection more of the master.
The difference was, Master responded, and even though he didn't want them at the bakery and was quite happy to leave them back with his sister, it pushed the idea of what the cats had been through, how much they trusted and loved him even if not romantically. They also suddenly became more mischievous and regularly rewarded with…

Abstract:
There are 3 animated videos from the Neko Works serialization: A Neko Paradise, A Nekopara Franchises, adapt the VN (i wont say much about these item, because i dont really get to know what it is before). This is the old one, the very first beginning of the La Soleil story through the entire anime-only Neko girls life stories.
Following their popular VN success, these videos all are trying to give more cogitation to the entire serialization. Although, there are a huge difference between the LN and the anime series, the controversy shadowing the animes appearance, i dont have much problem about that all. This is your choice as a fans. Keep up the support through development of your favourite series, or removing all the hard work Felix Studio that has happened before by dump it to…

I have been seeing these Nekopara girls everywhere I go, whether it be memes or figurines. So I figured it's about time I see what all the hype is about.
After watching it, I both understand, and don't understand why the hype has lasted so long. This series is certainly unique in the sense that it knows what its audience wants, and is full on unapologetically ballsy in giving it to them.
Basically, it's the world if catgirls existed as a separate species, and you could legally own them.
Which is a fun, cute, kinda "freaky", but equally as disturbing idea. I ain't shaming anybody for it, I can (and definitely do) dig it. But I also recognize that the show is so unique in how blunt it is about it that there's an underlying sense of discomfort - At least with me.
Maybe I haven't reached…

Are you a fan of the Nekopara game series? That's wonderful but there Is no need to watch this painfully boring OVA. As a hardcore fan I can see and be happy by the fact other people might enjoy this movie but for me it was a painful experience I got no enjoyment out of at all.
I have not played every Nekopara game (I have fully played through Volume 0 and Volume 1, and own Volume 2), nor am I a huge fan of the series, I find the story boring and kind of laughable but I can admit it has some 10/10 artwork and voice work. The series is wonderful as an erotic hentai type thing but as for a touching story, it puts me to sleep. But again as I said, I'm no fan and especially not fond of the slice of life genre.
If you are someone who also loved Nekopara for its lovely artwork and hot raunchy…

There are cute cat girls but overall I was thinking to myself when is this anime over. I really wanted to finish it anyways but I think it lacks story and it feels repetitive. But am I saying it's all bad? I guess it depends if you like an anime about neko girls that seem a little forced but also cute. I thought this anime was very cute just the story didn't do anything good. I understand how they go through this whole entrance to a legalization issue and the story is decentish but the way it is portrayed just seems lack luster. This anime is still very cute and I don't think it shouldn't be watched, it is just that I think it could have definitely been better paced and less repetitive.

I was not expecting anything good from this OVA, the first time that I knew that this thing are going to see the sunlight, I knew that aren't going to be a good anime, and for the best thing that it could aspire is for a mediocre OVA with no pretentiousness and completely forgivable.
But here it is, Nekopara it's a terrible anime, it's all about of the things that doesn't do actually.
Let's talk about of biggest flaw here, the characters are absolutely horrendous, every single one of them are unidimensional characters, with zero character development, going straight in a railway to the nothing. All the catgirls including, Chocola and Vanilla can be described with a single word, and the others only responds to a typical stereotype that were seen in a lot of times in different media, desp…

In the beginning there where 4 sacred text's the Bible, Sutras, Torah and Nekopara.
All of these have been given anime adaptations from saint young men, however, Nekopara the genesis of the Nekoism religion never got one for years until one day the prophets at Nekoworks announced the legendary sacred text was getting a one-shot OVA.
The many sects of nekoists put aside their differences to fund the ova hoping to see their deity appear on screen and each and every one of the loyal nekoists had their dreams answered when the Nekopara OVA was released to critical appraise and has since been used in religious studies classes around the world to teach people about nekoism and its worshipers.

This anime was used from a visual novel series with the same name, they have a similar story line but it is changed a little and squished in, if they used their skills of re-creating this anime the way they did (which i say was well done) it could've turned out to become a series of a 12 episode anime, instead of an OVA of the novel.
i don't completely hate this OVA, but it could of been done different, which i would've liked, but overall it still has the same enjoyment.
Now this OVA is cute, and funny, but for how short it is, it may not tickle you enough, for those of you who love nekos/cat-girls then you will explode in seconds, like i did (no joke, i lost my voice from screaming with joy)
im not great at explaining things so ill just say this, You will love it, even if its short and…

This show is horrible, I think that what saves it is the creativity of the creators hahahaha!

There's almost no sound in this show, only the opening, the ending and some scenes with some soundtrack, but it doesn't fit with the anime, this is horrible. But there is a sound, at least...

Its not that this ova is bad but after playing nekopara vol 1 and finally deciding to watch the ova based on it just makes it feel lacking. Many important aspects of the story where taken out completely to make it fit into a hour long movie format. If i had not played nekopara before it may be more enjoyable not knowing what i missed but honestly if you have not played it and are thinking about watching this I would just Play the visual novel instead the artwork in the VN is arguably better then it is in this ova.

Cute cat girls!
A short OVA about some cute cat girls, what could go wrong? Not much as I found while watching this.
Now, the plot is pretty loose, just about Chocola and Vanilla wanting to live with their 'master' who just moved into a bakery or something, he says no, they convince him, but of wait they gotta get their bells or something...
Yeah, it's not too plot heavy, but I wasn't expecting it to be, so it's fine.
The more important part of this anime is the characters and their designs. Now, I think they're all adorable, though I'm partial to Cinnamon and Vanilla myself. They all look different, and cute, and I really think this is just visually appealing.
There isn't much to say, this is a short 50 minute OVA with minimal plot. I'd reccomend it, if only for the cute cat girls.

Video review for tl;dr purposes:
https://youtu.be/LtcSMP0Ydfg
The Nekopara OVA is nothing short of an absolute kickstarter success story in almost every respect. The initial goal of the campaign, put together by Sekai Project the American publisher, was to put together a 20 minute OVA for a shoe string budget of just $100,000 US. Yes that is considered a tight budget for that kind of project because the average episode of an anime is just as long and can easily cost three times as much. That first goal was met in a matter of hours and before long all of the stretch goals had been met except one. The final dollar amount was well over nine times the initial request and the slacker backer campaign ended with over a million dollars raised and the final stretch goal achieved. The magic of cat…

Id would first like to say here that i have Vol.1 (haven't really played it probably for like a good hour) as for vol.0 and 2 i haven't even played them yet (even though i have them) and i don't have 3 yet actually so im kinda in a sense not familiarly with the Vn's in a sense but lets get into the review
Story: i mean the story is pretty much that Kashou and Shigure find Chocola and Vanilla in a box and they decide to take them in and Kashou opens a bakery called La Soleil he has Chocola and Vanilla help around and stuff as well ( i would say like many others that the story is kinda random but its decent).
Art: the art is really good from the characters to the backgrounds to the animation they are all really good here.
Sound: The OP her is pretty good as for the ED is its decent (i per…

So what can i say? i love Nekopara visual novel but this anime.. Is not even Nekopara.. it shouldn't even be created in that way.. In anime Kashou is normal man who open a backery and hi is master for 2 catgirls wait what and we see some their storys in complete empty bakery? wait what!?! why this anime is for child... Really? I didn't know before i seen this anime it is possible to do this. Original Kashou is really perverted guy who is ykhym master with love intention to 6 cat girls.. and they called him master because he make all of them to be his lover.. and visual novel is adult game where we have all the perv scene in anime he only once grab Chocola breast and that's it.. Even the most important thing was cutted like scene where kid shouting in amusement park to Kashou and Chocola an…

What's NEKOPARA? Why, it's a cat paradise!
When I first found out about Nekopara it was probably in 2016. I was searching some weeb games on steam when I saw this game that had overwhelmengly positive reviews. Then I checked on the reviews and started laughing. The reviews are the best part of the game to be honest. I highly recommend reading some of the reviews on steam.
About the ova : I like nekopara overall so I have some biasness towards it. I know it's not for everyone and everyone won't enjoy watching it. But as a fellow weeb I have to agree I enjoyed it. The pacing wasn't that great but it's an ova so I don't have any complains. I will say just lay back and enjoy some neko girls and if you like it play the vn which is much better. Overall a solid ova.
The story 7/10.
art 10/…

before diving into the review i must add i did play all 4 games even volume 0 and i do love this series as a hole fore me its a good happy time for series relieve and just watching an actually entertaining moe show for a change that being sated for an OVA i did no expect it to be on pair with the game as this episode coves Vol 1 it does skip volume 0 unfortunately but for a promotional OVA for a full on anime series it does its job and it does it great
in terms of story its a bit shortened than the full volume and squeezed for time i kind of expected it if its not a full on 12 or more series and they do skip the romance that is kind of disappointing as it did play a big roll in the game but i think its fine in this situation as play it for full moe and kind of a master pet relationship be…

*does not contain spoilers*
Now let me start and say I have not played the visual novel, or touched any other thing this might be connected to, and I did hear this was made with a fundraiser that was very successful, but still,my expectations for this where really low from the get go... But hey, it has catgirls, that's enough reason to like it, right?
Unfortunately that's not the case. From the very start it was clear to me this won't bring anything decent to the table by the simple fact that the opening played a mere minute or two from the start(that was actually a pretty decent and emotional start, that they just managed to completely throw out the window with the opening), and said opening contained almost all the scenes we've seen so far in those short minutes... Simply revolting at…

Okay, I'm sure that most people write a review about the technical details of anime episodes or how the Story, Art, Sound and Characters build up the enjoyment and overall satisfaction of a show or OVA; how the Nekopara Visual Novels and OVA are related; and the work that the studio did in adapting the Visual Novels to the Kickstarter-funded project to create the anime adaptation.
For me, I am just writing this review to highlight the best features that are missing from the Visual Novels that I recently completed playing: Kashou Minazuki's face and killer smile (which are not present in any of the Nekopara Visual Novels).

This is better than evangelion, better than legend of the galactic heroes. THE BEST ANIME FROM THE HISTORY.
Nekopara is a masterpiece of the animation, the salvation of the modern anime, an avant-garde and complex work with very human and intelligent characters.
In terms of animation and art in general, it is much better than works like cowboy bebop, introducing us in a very immersive and original world, where cat girls must adapt to the circumstances that present themselves.
The work presents themes such as abandonment, family and effort in a very realistic way and in 1 hour manages to transmit things that other animes can not transmit in 20 chapters, it is a compulsory look if you even like animation. Finally we are facing one of the most remarkable and best-made jobs in history, YOU HAV…

Never played the games....I mean-my boyfriend played it and we decided to watch the OVA, decided to keep an open mind, because why not? Throughout the OVA, I thought of it as a cute lifestyle genre anime with an adorable art style, because I'm that girl that happens to like cute shit. But, this OVA is more of directing the simple message " we'll always be there for you" or " I can do it ". Simple adorable OVA with simple message. It wasn't the greatest, but I'm not saying it was bad. It was more of a feeling of watching Animal Crossing movie. Speaking about the game, my boyfriend did tell me about the steam versus the actual Japanese version??? He kept on making comments about that while we were watching it and he said it was more of the PG version. I If you love neko lolis.
