Magical Meow Meow Taruto was a 12EP cuteness~ overload nyaa~~ anime that manage to created more than i expected at glance.
It's story is about Taruto - (hold your breath) - A nekomimi loli princess dressed in maid outfit- which also happen
to be a Mahou shoujo! PURE MOE!~ And lets not forget the nyaa~n-speech~!! The anime strongest suit was it's early slice of life - as it felt rather unique and fun to see Taruto & her nekomimi-friendz play around in the human world. That said - beneath the slice-of life - a much grander plot and meaning to Tarutos magical power is hidden~.
The artstyle was a classic 20001 artstyle and was packed with moé element and fun expressions - both cute and sad!
I really liked Tarutos personality - which is in some regards - a very classic outgoing shoujo - perfec…

Magical Meow Meow Taruto is an anime that, while clearly being aimed at a younger audience, still keeps a consistent storyline and has its dark moments.
Starting off quite innocently and without much substance, it soon evolves into a slice of life with a few fantasy and even action themes. Despite only having 12 episodes, a lot of the series is episodic and focuses on single stories within the episodes. However, Taruto's claims to be a princess finally hold weight at the end where the once story gathers some darker themes and introduces a final character.
While I wish Pie a La Mode had more screen-time, due to her backstory holding significant importance in the later story, her relation to Taruto still feels natural and makes sense due to the scenes shown earlier.
The character designs…

Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto is a cute show. Cute is its raison d'être, and viewers should be warned to expect a kid's show with no real tension or storytelling merit. It is classic stuff- a secret princess, magic, and animals that can understand each other but not be understood by humans.
However, I've ended up watching it three times through by now. It's entertaining and cute fluff. As an entire genre has built up around adults watching cuteness for its own sake in the anime industry since Taruto was introduced, it may be worth considering for viewing by adults as well as children.

Princesses & magic, as said before. The focus of the plot is the titular Taruto discovering she is capable of magic, and how this ties her to the mythical Kinka kingdom and the magical world of Ganache…

This is definitely a show intended for kids, but I enjoyed it immensely. I got somewhat hypnotized by the unending cutesiness, and for some time after viewing an episode I would use cutesy words. The power of cute compelled me.
Taruto is a cat. However, she regards herself as the equal of any human, and so the viewer sees her as a cat-girl. This can be a little disorienting for the first episode, until one realizes that the humans without cat ears are actual humans, and the people with cat-ears are cats who think of themselves as human.
Taruto is very young and kittenish. She goes on innocent adventures that are suitable for viewing by audiences of all ages. This would be a great show to watch while babysitting boys and girls of less than eleven years of age.
