I hadn't even heard of this series before now. And, considering it's only 6 short episodes, hardly surprising, right? I needed a show with a black cat for an Anime Challenge though, and this fit the bill. And that was that.
[Story] [6/10]
Cats fighting (?) evil! CATching mice and causing trouble. Not much else to say about this, it feels like it could go on for a long time, with many many short episodes. It's fun, light, and episodic!
[Art] [7/10]
The art reminds me of western animation. It's very stylised, and not at all like the typical Japanese anime art. but it's solid and fun.
[Sound] [6/10] The sound is kinda jazzy. I like that! There isn't a lot of variety though. The OP theme wasn't sung, but it was very CATchy. There is no ED theme. For a 6 minute short, I think thats fine. It…

Story
Introduction was a pleasant tease. Took what was common and turned it into abnormal or different. Which was a pleasant change even if slightly disappointing. For example if one hears clapping one might think applause but clapping also can be used rhythmically in dancing.
Conclusion was good. It took on many different perspectives and wrapped all questions into a nice little box for the viewer. Not only that but provided some good moral feedback to life.
Overall: Why should this show be watched? Sure, it is slightly lacking in sexual allurance, as well as action unlike cat-woman(from batman). However, the story remains true to the characters involved. A cat can't talk in reality so, which should it talk in a cartoon? Well... mostly it stayed true aside fr…

Ankoku Cat is a six episode ONA from Fanworks, a studio I've never reviewed or seen anything from before. Mainly because they haven't done that much. I only found about ten anime listed as having had them work on them, most of which are series with really short run times. So, let's take a look at Ankoku Cat and try to get some idea of what they're about.
Story:
It's not a complicated story. A city is taking measures to deal with the stray cat problem. A problem which has escalated recently because of the titular Ankoku Cat, who has been causing problems for people with his pranks and who humans assume to be the boss of all the other stray cats. Yeah, it's a simple story which is all you can really expect from a six episode series. Is it well done?
There are certainly issues with the exe…

Darkside cat is a strange, interesting show. It’s pretty much about a rebel humanoid cat that gets in trouble a lot with the law. In the course of one evening, chasing after a mouse, he breaks a fire hydrant, creates a traffic jam, and runs from the police. Now this show doesn’t really follow Dark Side cat but really what happens because of his interactions with the people of the city.
He himself is always silent with the same ‘bad boy’ look in his eyes and yet there are times that he actually does seem nice, mostly to the cats around the area. Each story can mostly stand alone, having only Dark Cat to link them together except for 5 and 6 where they pretty much have to be seen together. It’s more talking about the people that he touches and not really about him. One thing I do wish is t…

Dark Side Cat is an upright-walking feline with a killer fashion sense, a natural talent for parkour, and a desire to smash as many cars, stores, and kick as many human heads as possible.
Essentially, he's a giant asshole, who makes life for the relatively innocent humans of his town an absolute nightmare.
It's an intriguing premise for a series, and with its fast pace and occasional laughs, Dark Side Cat is a quick, enjoyable 6 episode, 6 minute watch.
However, there are flaws preventing this from being anything truly great or special. For a series based around Dark Side Cat's dastardly exploits, there simply aren't that many action shots of him doing anything cool or unexpected with the exception of the first and last episodes. (Which are, not surprisingly, the best ones)
Instead, we…
