Nyanko Days

Introduction

Average high school student Yuuko Konagai tends to be rather shy and socially awkward. Due to this, besides earning rather mediocre grades, she barely has friends inside her class. However, after a monotonous day at school, she returns to her long-awaited haven—home with her cats Maa, Shi, and Ro! With their unique personalities, the three possess bodies similar to those of humans, retaining the ability to speak and communicate. Every day, the adorable bunch awaits their owner's return to shower her with much-needed companionship. Nyanko Days highlights the life of Yuuko and her cats as they brighten up each moment and make new friends in the passing days. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Lifechanging journey with twists and turns. An amazing battle shonen with wonderful animation, choreography, characters, story, and more. I mean, whats not to love? Every character has rich goals and motivations to support their actions, this drives the story forward in many ways. If i had to voice my only 2 complaints with the series they would be the length and cast. The show is 12 episodes, however each is a mere 2 minutes, making it fly by, but truthfully, is this really a problem? Many an anime overstay their welcome and get bogged down with sluggish pacing, Nyanko Days, however, remains unmarred. The only problem with the cast is the stark lack of characters, but this opens up a lot of room for the existing ones to grow. I just wish i could see more cats but so be it. Also the ED is…

This is just the cutest anime I’ve ever seen! Short, simple, and sweet for a perfect cozy anime watching day. :) Nothing serious, just a girl with her kitties that make her happy as well as everyone watching. I love the art style as well which makes the characters even cuter. I wish the episodes were longer though and I hope they make either another season, film, or anything else with these cute little kitties. I definitely recommend this for anyone who just wants to watch a Kawaii anime short when they’re feeling down, need a pick-me-up, or just bored and want something new! If you enjoy cute, slice of life anime, this is for you!

Nyanko days is incredibly cool. To begin with, why is Nyanko Days so good ? Because it's simple, short and enjoyable. You don't need an incredible plot when you can just have velipaka and... velipaka. Probably one of the rare anime that promises to give something at the beginning and actually sticks to it 'til the end : it promised velipaka, and gave you velipaka. It's difficult to rate that anime using these standards but let's explain my rating anyway: Story : 1 There is no story, so it's impossible to review something inexistant. Art : 8 the animation is correct, the cats are well drawn, nothing else to ask for. Sound : 9 "okaeriii" Best voice acting ever. Character : 10 My global marking is going to be terrible if I don't mark it good, character's aren't interesting, they're ju…

Do you like cats? Would you like to see kittens anthromorphized into cute anime girls? Then Nyanko Days is the short anime for you! And by short, I don't mean it's just twelve episodes long, but that every episode runs for two minutes. That's it. Moe anime tend to get a bad reputation, mostly for putting too much emphasis on cuteness over substance, and that's understandable. Especially if they drag on for much longer than they need to. But twelve episodes of cute kittens having fun, with every episode only being two minutes long is the perfect length to digest something of this caliber. The story centers on a girl, Yuuko Konagai, who is shy and doesn't have friends at school. But she has three kittens at home, named Maa, Shii, and Rou, and they're all the friends she needs. She loves cats…

The anime is about a friendless girl called Yuko, who is in love with their three humanized female cats: Roo, Shii and Maa. With the developement of the story, Yuko achieves make a new friend called Azumi, a rich girl who also has a female cat called Elza. The episodes only have a 2 minutes duration, but actually, the real duration is 1' 30'' because the ending/opening (yes you read right, opening and ending are the same), last 30 seconds of the episodes which make a total of 2 minutes. When i looked for further info about the anime i discoverd that it was labeled as a "seinen" because it's first appearance was in the seinen magazine "Monthly Comic Alive" but this is more a shoujo than a seinen. The anime ended as a "non season 2 anime" (at the moment), it is worth to watch it but is suc…

Imagine if all cats look like dwarf-sized loli nekos and can speak human language. If there was such a thing in reality then I'd probably freak out. But in the world of anime, anything can become possible. The world of anime can make you question your true gender, turn the things you hate into things that you will love, and do other weird shits and get away with it. Anime is truly weird. But that's why I love watching anime. Nyanko Days is a short anime about girls vibing with undersized loli cats. honestly I don't know why but I feel stoned after watching this anime. I don't even know what to write on this review anymore. I just want to know when Elon Musk would finally develop the genetically engineered cat girls so i could finally get one- wait i think i just contradicted a point i…

Nyanko days while it does have flaws, and it is like every other slice of life anime it is a guilty pleasure of mine. Usually slice of life moe anime are usually hit or miss, so why did I like this one? The story is calm, and heartwarming it doesn't have any drama or horror which is a popular element in anime. The soundtrack is a bit annoying, but you'll get used to it. I really like the character's design. The characters are sweet and likable. I overall enjoyed it, but just like all anime there are cons. Do to it being a slice of life anime, and not having any real plot it does get a bit boring, and full of fluff. Also the animation is generic it could do better. But I would still recommend it to slice of life moe fans as it's cuteness will put a smile on anyone.

Yeah, so I probably shouldn't write too long about something that you will finish in about the same time you finish reading this. I watched this anime today, on Christmas day, and have no current show I am watching. Then comes along an anime about a cat owner who owns the kind of cats that most anime fans wish they could own, literally being little girls that have some cat features and like the same things they do. No sense in going over a character synopsis this time around, since there's not that many things going on. The cat girls are adorable, the length of the anime allows you to not get annoyed by it mostly being them acting like cats and being adorable and the main girl lead is comical to watch as well. The soundtrack is calm, but I do wish it was a released one so I could listen…

Perfect anime to watch when you are bored. It is short, funny and cute. This anime is a Master piece considering it's purpose and limitation. 2 min ep you can't expect more than that. Story: well it's a 2min/ep there... story obviously is not the focus. Art: Just Fucking Cute... all of them Sound: Well I'm not an expert in sound... I could hear, so it is 10 Character: Again, 2min/ep you can't expect character development or anything, but all of them are cute and lovely in a certain way Enjoyment: Laughts and Ownt, those are the reactions watching this show

Nyanko Days is both addictive and ridiculous at the same time. There were moments where I found myself laughing not at the story, but at the way how the characters (cat girls) look. What’s even strange to me was that it was all mini-episodes to see what it was like to explore the world as the kittens, but wonder why the show isn’t based more on them than the supporting characters. I’m not suggesting that this is not “MOE” by any means, but the only reason to watch this show is just to admire the slapstick of the cats as a whole. To focus this as just an exhilarating story would be like trying to suggest that a show about kittens should be “Stranger Levels” type-storytelling. There is not much to say about this anime, except it should be enjoyed for thinking what it would be like if cats…

Anime-General

I'm going to be upfront with this review, I don't like this anime but I can't fault anyone who does like this anime for what it is. A cute fluffy anime about anthropomorphic chibi cats and their owners. Its just that and nothing else for two minutes each episode. The animation is fine for showing simple colors and cute character designs, as do the voice actors as do a decent job. I'm not a fan of either the opening and ending songs as I found them both annoying to listen too by the third episode. There really isn't much story as its mostly about the characters and they barely have any development and are just cliches of character traits. Outside of the regular human girls all the cats have one archetype and never go beyond that. With one being shy,one acting like a tomboy, one being stuck…

Lasting the length of a single standard episode, Nyanko Days is cute and fluffy, and gets by entirely on being cute and fluffy. In fact, there's so little substance that it's a struggle to even talk about the show beyond its substance. It's not really that it's bad per se. It's mindless and cute stuff to turn your brain off to for about a half-hour, so it's perfectly serviceable in that regards and serves its function in that way. It's also incredibly cute which no one can deny. It's hard to criticize because it effectively serves its function and arguing against that function just feels like it comes off as weird and nitpicky. But one can afford to be nitpicky over a series that is, effectively, nothing. When you really get down to it, Nyanko Days is the most anime thing an anime is. An…

Nyanko Days is a slice of life comedy series about a first-year high school student and her three adorable little catgirls. The story isn't much to write about, it's you can probably predict how it goes early on, and while there technically is a story here it's rather insubstantial, which is further exemplified by the much shorter than usual episode length with its 2-minute episodes means that the entire series is about the same length as an episode in most animes. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing since the episodes are well paced and never outstay their welcome and in all honesty, the cute aesthetics, adorable characters, and humor make the anime worth watching despite any shortcomings. If you want something to go "Aaaawwww" over in 2-minute burst this anime is for you, but if…

Don't have much time to watch anime? Love chibis and cats to an unhealthy degree? Have a huge affinity for overused character tropes with almost zero character development? Then you have found your muse right here... So really there isn't much of anything to the story, but that's because the episodes are TWO MINUTES LONG (including the OP) so anyone would struggle to get much of any content in with that timeframe. This is probably the lowest score I've given because considering the length, it is the laziest writing that you could do. We'll come back to that later though... Art was decently good. The cat girl chibi thinga-ma-doo's are cute and everything, but most of the art is nothing great or groundbreaking in any way. With a series this short, you could at least do something unique or…

The story and characters are good, especially considering it's 2 minutes each episode. There's a limit to how much story and characters you can fit in that amount of time, so I think the content was actually good. It was enough to make me think "oh this is cute". It's mostly about cute nekos and the everyday life of a teenage girl. The art is simple yet cute. I personally like it as it helps emphasise the cuteness of the series. If it was going for a moe direction, I feel the art did well in this. The music is also nice, it's quite catchy and fits the cute theme it was going for. I personally really enjoyed this series. It was very cute, with the nekos and the comedy brought on by the female characters. I thought it would only focus on the nekos but it actually also looked at female char…

Nyanko Days successfully gives a show full of kawaii-ness especially for neko and nekomimi lovers. From the colourful nuance feasts the eyes 'til kawaii 'human' characters and neko​girl. There's nothing superb with the visualization, but it is plenty enough for bringing us the feel of kawaii all over the place. Adapted from 4-koma manga, the anime adaptation is last for approximately 2 minutes per episode. Therefore, observing from the length of the series, there isn't much thing to explain for the story and characters traits. In a few episodes, Konagai Yuuko and her school life dominates the scenes while in the other hand and other occasions, her three adorable cats take control. All of the characters are characterized as cute, humble, real teenagers in their puberty (who concerns of lit…

If you are like me who likes to watch many times some anime just to relax and have fun this is the right anime. I dare say it's one of the best, where you always watch every happy and many (VERY MUCH) fluffy moments (100% of the time is cute).   At first the protagonist is a shy girl who, instead of relating to other people, prefers to keep her cute kittens, which are really cute (have I already said they are cute?). It has 3 kittens and they are easily memorable, so in the first speech of each one you already know exactly the personality of each one, which makes them from the beginning striking and lovely characters. What really marked me in this anime is that exactly ALL the conversations and situations of all the episodes (released so far) are extremely funny and fluffy it seems until I…

For me, Nyanko was the disappointment of the season. That said it was the disappointment of the season as soon as it came out that the episodes were 2 minutes long rather than something longer. And as it turns out it happened to be massively detrimental to the quality of the show. Usually the shows best suited toward being shorts are those that are comedic gag series; there are other shows that work but for the most part, it doesn't suit most shows. While Nyanko is listed as a comedy I didn't find it particularly funny. I don't even think it is much of a comedy, sure it has it's moments of comedy but that's not it's focus. Rather, Nyanko is a show that lives off of its cuteness. And while that can be digested in 2 quick minutes the show failed to make me attached to the characters which,…

Don't overthink it. Succumb to the nyanko. After years and years of painstaking research, Japan's finest at studio EMT² emerge with the perfect girl-to-kitten hybrids. In fact, these "nyankos" are so cute that we are not worthy to witness them for longer than two minutes at a time! I don't know what exactly it is, but the fact this series even exists just makes me happy. Nyanko Days is nothing but a quick rush of serotonin in cute chibi nekogirl form. Main character Yuuko is a sweetheart, quite relatable to many in her wallflower personality, and her friend Azumi helps supplement the series with a nice, blossoming friendship (complete with her own nekogirl!) As no series is complete without a rival, Ran introduces herself as such, though of course she has a softer side to her otherwise c…
