This anime is both sweet and bittersweet at the same time. It reminds you how fast time flies and how important it is to keep moving forward, because in the end it’s all worth it.
I started watching it out of simple curiosity, but I truly ended up loving it. The art and the music are absolutely perfect.
The story feels truly unique, wrapped in a gentle, almost lo-fi atmosphere that blends seamlessly with its soft art style. Together, they create a world that feels quietly alive and emotionally rich. The characters are written with such depth and sincerity that their experiences resonate deeply, making the entire journey feel like something any of us could have lived.

(Spanish review below).
I definitely recommend reading the manga instead of watching the anime. The latter deals with its themes very superficially. Also, it changes a lot of things for the worse, because these changes take away depth and make it an average anime. The drawing is much better in the manga as well.
While the manga is not a masterpiece, it set out many interesting and sensitive issues, which the anime simply trivializes. Even the relationship between the girl and her cat is different.
I watched ‘Blue Period’ after watching ‘She and Her Cat’, and I was pleasantly surprised to know that both mangas are by the same author.

This mini series is both sweet and sad. It follows the life story of a cat and the girl who he loves, as they both grow into adult: their lives parallel and growing over time. It has a very slow pace and allows you to be entranced and enmeshed into the tiny details. This slow pace is critical for such a short series as it allows the watcher to feel like it is much longer than it really is.
On the border of shojo and Josei, this series is sweet but also has a lot of depth to offer if you are looking for it. In such a short time the story draws you in and captures you with its innocence. Although a series of this nature is not my personal favorite, it is very well done and I enjoyed watching it.

Usually I don't have a problem with subs, but I have to warn you, it is easy to miss out on a lot if you insist on not watching the dubbed version.
I couldn't tell who was talking sometimes and they do not repeat themselves. The cat in particular has a quiet delivery and likes to practice his poetry, so I found myself zoning out a lot and having to rewind, which ironically ruined the flow. And I probably didn't pay enough attention to the visuals either.
The art is good but not flashy, sensitive topics are handled very tastefully, the story is simple and sweet, and the characters are really well done. I'm rating this very nicely because this would have been an amazing experience if I had known that the show would have been much better dubbed.

Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko.
If you're looking for a short but sweet anime, this is it. I love the idea of watching something from the perspective of an animal. This is perfect to remind people to love their pets and not to forget/ take them for granted. To them we are everything in the world, yet to us they are simply a pet.
But they are so much more than that. The short period of time they are in our lives can leave a permeant mark on our hearts.
This is so far one of the best anime I've watched so far. 10/10

Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows, or She and Her Cat, is a beautiful tale told from an aged black cat’s perspective on his owner’s life and the world about him. The story is like a snippet from real life, emotional but strikingly realistic. Daru is shown to empathize with his owner’s struggles. Even though he does not understand how she speaks, their thoughts and feelings are intertwined with one another as each of their lives progress.
We watch Miyu’s strife, from her mother’s happiness to her occupation, and Daru stands beside her and brings her comfort in her hour of need. The sheer, unbridled emotion this anime evokes from its viewer, coupled with the gorgeous animation, is unlike anything in the industry today. This anime is human at its core. The life of a cat and its own…

The mere minutes I've spent watching this short series was invaluable. Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows earned the utmost of my appreciation and respect for being able to make me cry in only roughly about 30 minutes. Only fewer anime can pull this off. And what's more surprising is the fact that each episode from this series is only about 7 minutes long.
A certain someone once said that "When you enjoy something, time pushes ahead quickly." . I unquestionably concur with this statement. When I play games, I sometimes become happy. And when I become happy, time moves forward swiftly without me realizing it. This also applies to when I watch anime, when I swim, and when I do other activities that makes me feel happy. However, this anime is so short. To such an extent that it's il…

I came to this adaptation of one of Shinkai's early works (ie, 'She and Her Cat') after watching 'Your Name' and wanting to see the development of his career.
I enjoyed the premise of the anime: a brief moment of someone's life told through the eyes of a cat. The plot turned out to be better than I expected. Seeing the love and affection that Daru (the cat) has towards his owner, Kanojo, despite his ever-present confusion towards Kanojo's life is both admirable and inspiring. It shows that even as you go through some of the lowest points of your life, having someone special there for you can make so much more tolerable.
Yet, this premise limits much of the anime's potential. There was a prevailing feeling that something was missing and 3 months later when writing this, I still haven't fi…

*Might contain minor spoilers*
A short, simple, nice and warming story presented from a cat's point of view. I always wanted to watch something like this. It's interesting because it makes you think "what could be in a cat's/animal's mind?"
There are four episodes, without the short opening and the ending we have ~25 min. in total (6-7 min. per episode). It's not really much and it's difficult (not impossible) to present a complex story in such a short time.
With only 4 characters (a few more are just passing by) it's a pretty decent development. We get some flashbacks and we can see how the relationship between Miyu and her mother changed and why she moved alone with her cat. She was presented as a lonely girl, more like an introverted person, therefore she had some troubles finding a…

Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko might probably be short but the impact that it leaves you stays longer than you imagine.
As a cat lover, I really enjoyed watching this. The opening suits the "aura" of the anime. And the animation is just magnificent especially if you stream it in HD. The story was lovely and light. One of the great thing about this anime is that it's told in the perspective of the Cat. I'm pretty sure that cats have this thoughts. I got a bit emotional too cause it reminded me of my old cat, yuki. She was sweet and lovely. I suddenly missed her. I think one of the underlying lessons that you will learn from this is to never take something for granted. I never regretted anything on my end with my relationship and time with yuki. I'm sure she knows that I loved her and I will alwa…

Have you ever wondered how a story narrated by a cat would be?
"Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows" is a very meaningful anime. The title itself is beautiful and matches perfectly the content of the story.
Story - 10/10
Daru is an old cat who loves his owner. He never uses her name (Miyu). For him, she is just "kanojo". I liked how Daru's thoughts catch your attention. His voice is so softly. He narrates the story from his eyes--a cat's eyes. It's interesting to know Miyu through his perspective. She is having a bad time. Can't get a job. Misses her mother. Daru is her only company. And it's beautiful when they are together.
Art - 10/10
This anime is so beautifuly animated! I loved the details. Daru's eyes are just perfect.
Sound - 10/10
The music is very touching. It conveys t…

Looking for an anime to relax and kill some time with? Then this one's for you. 4 episodes, only around 13 minutes each, it surprisingly left an impact to me, as simple as it is.
The plot revolves around Daru, an old kitty living together with his owner, a woman struggling to find a steady job. The story is narrated from the POV of the cat, cherishing the time he had with his owner in a series of flashbacks. The plot sounds so simple, but that's exactly why it works. Nothing too complicated to think about, just a fine and relaxing 'healing' kind of show.
Nothing much to talk about the visual here. One thing I can say is that it's a pleasant to look at. The choice of color palettes here suit the overall theme of the story, subtle and calm. One thing that I particularly liked about the sho…

Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko is a show that reveals 4 episodes each not longer than 8 minutes to the audience. However don't be deceived for this show hides more in such a small amount than some shows can't even get done right in 12 episodes.
Short but yet heart-moving story that offers remarkable emotional experience along with amazingly done art and sound that fit together like pieces of puzzle creating a very subtle, exquisite and comfortable atmosphere that hauls along the whole show.
What also grabbed my attention was the lenght and amount of episodes which gives this show really alternative or rather indie image that comes across to audience very well even with the actual enjoyment that this anime has to offer. Cute, atmospheric, heart-moving and definitely worth watching - that's Kano…

This short 4 episode long series follows the life of a girl after graduation, the economic and psychological hardships she faces as she enters the world of adults (No, not THAT part of the adult world, the others) and how she has to rely on herself and her cat, a pet she's had since she was a child. The cat is already pretty old unfortunately and it's clear from the start of the anime that he's getting slower and weaker.
Melancholic themes, a tiny bit of intense drama, nice voice acting by both the cat and the girl (we can hear the thoughts of the cat even though he doesn't understand exactly what his owner says. This reinforces the connection between them nicely, showing that even without "speaking" the same language they have a much deeper, emotional connection). The visuals, while noth…

I rarely write reviews (and when I do they are very short), but this anime moved me so much that I feel that I must write one.
These four episodes are emotionally powerful especially at their close; the beautiful art and animation style only enforces how deeply affected I was by this anime.
It is very well paced except seeming slow at times, but since the series in all is about half an hour it should not make much of a difference. There are only four characters and the main two are very nicely fleshed out, and even one of the others (the mother) has a very clear-cut personality and ambience to her. They feel very much like typical people (and cat!) but they are lovely characters all the same.
The sound in general was pleasant but not all too interesting, although not hard on the ears by…

So I watched this on a whim because I am a cat owner. My cat and I share a very tight bond and is a very important part of my life.
Needless to say, this was some of the most emotional 28-30 minutes of my life in terms of anything anime related. The story for myself was extremely relatable, even with the strain of the main character. The art direction fits perfect for the anime, though not as memorable or eye popping as other shows.
The story is emotional no matte what, but if you have a pet this show may really dig at your soul more than others. I was emotional during each episode, until the final episode where I cried for a good half hour. No other anime has ever done this to me before.
I will be holding my cat tight tonight.

Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows, does more with four 7-minute episodes than most anime accomplishes with hours and hours of exposition. This story is more like a set of connected haikus, or a few simple pen-and-ink drawings, where each careful choice of phrase, or each perfectly drawn line, speaks more deeply than anything else one can imagine.
I loved Daru. His narrative voice was perfect. Even though we'll really never know what cats think, he felt very real to me. And his relationship with Kanojo was portrayed with such nuance and care that I truly believed that his words were truly his own.
I can only say that, in the final episode, you must watch to the very end. Something very special happens, something magical, something perfect.
I started crying during the first epi…

I went into this anime with some expectation, and I got some in return.
Story
Fairly straightforward, it's simple, but it works. I was in a dilemma of finding a job when I was watching this, so I could relate to a degree.
Art
This is where I had some mixed feeling. I knew where the spin-off is coming from, so I had a high expectation. But it wasn't that great. Don't get me wrong, it is very beautiful with the scenery and stuff, but it feels more like a painting than animation to me, since the lack of dimension is really bugging me. Especially when the cat is black and it turns dark for certain frames. It has a old animation feel though, which is kinda unique at the time where CGI anime is a thing.
Sound
It was good, but I don't remember it too well. I guess this is a good thing, since…

The beauty of She and Her Cat: Everything Flows lies in its utter simplicity. It takes what we often take for granted, puts a nice metaphorical spin on it, and connects to us on a deep and heartwarming level that you would never expect in a million years.
Kanojo (or Miyu), the main character of Everything Flows, is a college student who is just beginning to face the real world. As with many other independent college students, she is facing some tough times, but what makes her situation all the more interesting is how she is being bombarded with incessant change. She just recently moved out of her childhood home, her friend/roommate recently left the apartment that the two of them split the rent for, and she’s had her applications rejected in her endless search to get a job. Needless to s…

In case your also wondering if the romance is between the girl and the cat, then the short answer is YES but am sure its not as twisted as you might imagine. The story is the most awesome thing about this short anime, its not exactly something that is gonna make you tear up but its guaranteed to move you, watching "Kanojo" from the cats POV as she struggles with finding a job and the stresses of having to adjust to living alone as a new adult in the society.
story: 9/10
Like i said before, the story is definitely the best part about this anime, its fast paced since the anime is very short, but wont fail to make sure you understand everything very clearly, the cat narrates most of it, showing us flash backs from the life of Kanojo when she was a child and her problems as she was growing u…
