When they first released this anime on Crunchyroll more than a decade ago, I recall being blown away by the animation and character designs of cast and it still does that...for the first several episodes until it appears the budget dried up and obvious long pans, stills, and recycling rear their ugly heads.
The animation quality tanking and money-saving measures is a damn shame because the show works when it's at its horniest - beautiful and painstaking in the nude scenes of the early episodes.
All the usual suspects appear: cat ears, huge milkers, plug suits, food-closeups, cig-smoking scientist, fast-food chomping American, gun porn, glamours car chases, etc. Sadly, even the fan service fades by later episodes which means the series has to lean on the played out harem tropes of a medi…

An anime with minimum effort to make a convincing story. The scriptwriter practically took all possible fetishes and threw them at your face, trying to make it look funny. And indeed, ANI is really a parody of anime sexual fetishes… and nothing else.
For starters, this anime did the mistake of airing in a time when such shows are all over the place. It is not special in any way; neither does it try to offer anything out of the ordinary. In fact, it hardly tries to be average. Even if it aims towards the usual target audience of males who still find 2D interesting, there is nothing in it that other shows around the same time weren’t offering in spades. So yeah, bad first impressions.
The prime fetish here is cat girls. You know; nekomimis and tails and stuff. Using that as a base, any oth…

Welcome to another RTLR review! Dub is our poison as always. I gotta man up and admit that I am in no way an 'elitist' when it comes to anime, at least I don't think I am. I make no bones about watching harem and ecchi titles along with more 'emotionally mature' fare. This time tho, with Cat Planet Cuties, we have a whole lot of nothing, tired tropes, and nonsensical elements that all come together and make for a strangely entertaining series. Straight up, if fan service doesn't do it for you, then by all means consider the overall score a 1. If you do enjoy titles like Highschool DxD or To-Love Ru, then there's some fun to be had here, even if it comes with a little grain of salt.

THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW (minus some detail from the first episode).
From the tags alone, you know this is a little ecchi and a harem show. As such, you have some standard tropes such as the very deliberate buffet of girls of varying ages and breast sizes. You have the super-trope character types such as the loli, the childhood friend, the school friend, and the magical/space/angel girlfriend from nowhere who instantly falls in love with the boring, bespectacled main character who's too nice and stupidly oblivious to:
* Notice or care about any of the sexiness around him
* Stand up for himself when one of his girls beats him and throws things at him for things that totally aren't his fault.
* Ever become anything more than a piece of the background. He's really only there to give…

I saw this anime was ecchi and gave it a try, the story is average, there's no complexity about it but that's not the most important while watching ecchi anime anyway, in a way the story is kinda interesting and is a good ecchi if you're looking just for ''ecchiness'', it has decent comedy, good characters and the assistroids were entertaining.
Story
The story is simple, a Catgirl named Eris is sent to the earth from the planet Catnia to investigate the earth's culture, she stumbles with Kakazu's uncle and he takes her home because she's a cat not because he's creepy, meanwhile there's commotion from certain secret groups of who is going to take Eris, and because these organizations keep creating incidents to take her, the Catnia gals make Kakazu's house the first and new Embassy of Catni…

Hey I just want to start off by saying that this is only a review based off of my own opinion and personal experience watching the show. So for anyone who's seen the show and may be offended or otherwise, I apologize in advance. Cat Planet Cuties, as it is dubbed by Funimation, revolves around a young high schooler named Kio Kakuza, who one day meets a young, beautiful, busty girl with cat ears and a tail, named Eris, claiming to be an alien. Apparently her and other members of her race, came to Earth in order to set up friendly relations with humans. Not soon after though, Kio and Eris are constantly being pursued by multiple factions with different plans in mind.
Story 4/10: The story was fairly decent at best, but not all that interesting. Now I'm open to all types of different genres…

~!~ WARNING: Spoilers ~!~
Jeez...I kinda wish I didn't even watch this anime to begin with. Maybe I'm just being harsh, but there wasn't something great about this. It was such a let-down. Something really promising at first and very quickly dropped as soon as you start.
~ Story 2/10 ~
I might be missing some accuracy because of the story being boring and unappealing so forgive me.
The main character is Kio Kakazu, an easy-going teen who seems to accept his new reality quite easy as his new friend is an alien cat girl, his childhood friend is a special agent, and his other friend is also a special agent as well. Essentially, this kid becomes pulled into a terrible situation by being involved with alien cat girls who came down to earth because...of the fish? While his friends work for the…

Well, at first I didn’t know anything about this. I guessed by the name it may be pretty fan service oriented but when I turned on the first episode, it actually looked like it would be serious. Boy, was I wrong with that idea. It turns into a big harem mess. It’s almost just like Please Teacher mixed with other Harem shows.
It’s all about food, boobs, and very little bit about the Sci-fi stuff. Let me give you an example of how this show doesn’t take itself too seriously. Eris beats a million tanks with hammers, even taking the clothing of the tank guys inside. And just when I thought the show was about to end, the show got even stranger with the cat girls going to a meeting wearing school girl swimsuits with a magical girl transformation showing naked images. The third show even starts…

Asobi ni Iku yo, the story of cat and dog aliens coming to earth and making contact with the humans who live upon it. Eris a cute cat girl meets a young boy and falls for him. She decides to live with him to explore and learn more about Earth. He has several other friends that are girls that all love him, or like him in that manner. He of course has no idea and goes about his daily activities as such. This anime isn't bad. I recommend to anyone wanting to watch a cute anime that has a little bit of action in it. There are some parts that drag on because they discuss their similarities which are being in love with the same person, but it isn't bad. They cat aliens end up finding out that the dog aliens are there and it causes some level of conflict. Will it ever be resolved? Watch and see..…

If you could only watch one anime this year, Asobi ni iku yo! probably not even make the long list. It is a paint by numbers harem anime, it follows the schematic for the genera down to the smallest detail. every thing is very predictable and there are no shocking twists.
How ever that's not to say it is not enjoyable. The story is lite and fun and i found my self laughing out loud a couple times. All in all i would defiantly recommend this to any one who is looking for a short not so serious show with a fair bit of fan service and action to pass the time with.
Anime like this one are what i like to classify as sorbet. a good anime to watch when you have just finished watching something more weighty or if you want to take a short break from something with more depth.

If you want to be truly critical , this anmie does have lot of faults , but that doesn't stop it from being a pretty good watch either.
It does well in the fact , that it has a interesting cross dynamic of characters ,(and genres) that help propel the story along.Not letting it become too lopsided one way or the other.The flip side of this , that it seems sometimes it cant make which way it wants to go.
whilst there is a bit of fan service , at heart, this anmie is trying to tell a story.It does try to give us some back ground in to the various characters , though to be honest this anime would have better been served by 24 episodes rather than 12.
in conclusion ,This anime isn't quite what you would think by reading the description and will surprise you , with some of its depth and hum…

Nyaa!!!! Alien kitty goodness. I just have to say that if an alien who had the form of a hot girl with kitty ears and a tail, I would question if she was real, or just cos-playing. Wouldn't you? If memory serves me right everyone just accepted her and was like "hey we are having a party want to join us?" WHAT?! The main humor is that since she is an alien she doesn't know what is considered normal on earth. So one of the first books that she reads is a book that was found under Kio's bed. I am just going to let you think about that.
I like how they emphasize the realness of the cat ears and tails. How they move and twitch. I thought that it was a nice little touch. Little details like that are honestly are what make certain anime better than others. You can't just throw a bunch of big boo…

Overview: Asobi Ni Kyuo is a fun light hearted tale about an alien cat girl from space. This quickly turns into a light ecchi anime with more steriotypical charecters than you can paw at.
Story: Giving the story a 4 is being kind. This show does two things that should never be mixed in the same show. It tries to take itself seriously, when the plot is "CAT GIRLS FROM SPACE", by attempting to explain the technology in detail. If your going to go with something that is overtop and just plain fun stick with that, dont try to explain it. As for the actual plot its more about the relationships between the 3 main charecters than anything else.
Art: This is a pretty show. Most anime now a days are fun to look at if nothing else, and this one is no exception. That said there is nothing hear that…

Ok, so this is more like an extraordinary situation were black ops mixed with ET and added with child's play kinda thing, I like the characters the way that they were drawn and the setting, were it is set on the southern part of Japan, in Okinawa. Eris, the lead female character seem to have the combination of Lala from "To Love Ru" and Horo from "Spice and Wolf," but just like any light novel animes it is still a combination of different genre for each episode which by the way I kinda hate the musical part about a space man in ep9. Then again that first assistant droid could had a longer role within the series. My main criticism is the authors and illustrators idea of arming the 2 girls Minami and Aoi which basically doesn't have the right body mass to weapon recoil ration e.g. when Aoi p…

Ok, first of all, this is my first time writing a review, but I felt like I need to after reading the biased, argumentative feelings this anime brought to the table.
I am going to start out with the negatives, just because they are the first things I noticed within the anime, but if you read on, I guarantee positives will come from it.
1) The story had literally no character development whatsoever, everyone just happened to either be part of the CIA, a terrorist organization, or the immigration bureau. and all be centered around this one guy who happens to be who the ecchi alien takes a liking to. The story itself is plot-hole city, and the ending is disappointing as hell, with so much unexplained, but I still recommend watching it for yourself.
2) This show literally refused not be b…

My score follows the MAL word associated with it; hence the 4 is a 'Bad'. However, everyone's tastes are different and encourage you to read the points below rather than just my rating.
-A few Clichés.
Now there is not really anything bad with having clichés if you like them. You got your cat girl and a few other characters living with the dense and useless lead. If these are your cups of tea they are implemented pretty well. However, if you are looking for something new there is not a lot to offer.
-This is a harem show,
You will find yourself rooting for Aoi, like me, or the cat girl Eris. However, the show is biased and behind Aoi most of the time, even the childhood friend Manami is giving her assistance regretfully. While the male lead is thick, the interaction between Aoi and Mana…

"Like cats?!"
"Yes I do like felines."
"Like American Muscle cars?!"
"Yup!!"
"Like tons of girls? Shooting guns and having sniper battles?!"
"Hell Yess!!"
That's basically what this whole anime is saying to your brain the first second you begin watching.
I found my self feeling overwhelmed by how much information they were trying to shove down my throat at one time. In the very first 2 episodes they probably fit like 5 episodes worth of information which made me feel really confused to the point where I was just like "WTF?! How comes she's doing that?! Wh-What the heck is wrong with him?! Why is she that if she's that and that being that... why is this that?!". It eventually cools down to the point where you understand what's happening.
The while cat thing is cute but after awhile it be…

Warning this review may contain spoilers. It's the first review I've ever written for this site; therefore you notice it isn't 'quite' in the site's unofficial format. Which as far as I can tell is almost a checklist of the top five scores and their final overall.
Asobi ni Iku yo!
Surprisingly; good story. It's a short story format; only three 'arcs' maybe four. All interconnected and they all had a point. They constantly fore-shadowed things that would appear in later episodes.
The echii/harem side of things... Was almost sidelined by the gun-fire and explosions. It's a fairly straight up action/adventure/sci-fi show with quite a few parodies and references.
The 'bounce' factor was 'almost' down-played. First three episodes they stared; after that Eris's mighty bust is constantly pres…

In the beginning, I was intrigued by the concept of an extraterrestrial getting mixed with covert ops. Asobi ni Iku yo! gradually turned into some form of harem story where the indecisive omega male gets the ladies. The series is a love letter to cat lovers and the technology featured is something to think about. The series is greatly flawed by the holes in its plot. Overall, Asobi ni Iku yo provides light-hearted entertainment that's neither spectacular nor absolutely horrible.

Unyaaa!!
For those that don't know what that means, it's apparently cute cat talk and reference to 2010's summer anime Asobi ni Iku Yo. An anime purely dedicated to fan-service enthusiasts who love eye-candy.
With an abundance of cliché anime that provide service in the market, it's pretty hard for people to differentiate whether it's worth watching or passing up(due to having seen its type before.) Whilst I'd normally say the latter for Asobi, I'd be lying if I did as it had definitely caught my attention within the first 2 or so episodes. Asobi is an anime that amalgamates everything a fanboy loves and adds a story for which the most part, does leave you wanting to see what happens next. If only it had kept it's pacing and consistencies to the very end, I might have had better regards…
