Asobi ni Iku yo!

High school student Kio Kakazu leads an ordinary life in Okinawa. When attending his grandfather's commemoration, a chance encounter with an eccentric girl named Eris—whose body features resemble a cat—makes him pass out. After finally waking up, Kio is surprised to discover a half-naked Eris right next to him! She explains that she is from a planet called Catia, and her duty is to research Earth and expand her kind's social network.

Due to the warm welcome she received from his family, Eris decides to live in Kio's house. However, the pair's idyllic situation is threatened when people from secret organizations—including his own childhood friend, Manami Kinjou—all aim to seize Eris. If Kio wants to leave a positive impression of Earth on Eris, he has to protect her at all costs and convince everyone that she is not a threat to the planet.

the first couple of episodes remind me of those 80/90s action movies you know the ones where everyone wears a hawaiian shirt and ridiculous action scenes happen every 5 minutes and the guns they just look amazing and i even though it would be a somewhat serious show. when watching the first couple of episodes i was thinking "man someone who really liked those old movies and guns wanted to make this a thing but thought it wouln't sell well without several giant pairs of tits blocking the screen" but then it turned in to your usual non sensical ecchi and the cool gunfights and ... action scenes were replaced by some typycal space magic scenes you see in a lot of anime like this.

Despite of what i just said I am not complaing it was good and I enjoyed it as your typical harem/ecchi trashman would. Although it is a shame that that happened I would have enjoyed it a lot more and in a different way.

also minor spoiler for episode 10 or 11: [spoiler]what the fuck are Tiger IVs doing in what looks like russia on the brink of the collapse of the soviet union?[/spoiler]

Mixed Feelings

a fun if predictable ecchi sci-fi/slice of life catgirl show! it does what it says on the tin. it's clear the show comes from a place of genuine love for sci-fi and there are nuggets of genuinely interesting plotlines here and there, as well as a cast of charming characters.

however, as with most other ecchi anime the protagonist is a total wet blanket and it gets pretty aggravating watching a love triangle form over such an uninteresting guy. for an anime called cat planet cuties it focuses wayy more on the love triangle between two non-catgirls and the male protagonist.

Not Recommended

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 other fetish is an add on to spice things further. Which works for a few episodes, until the prime fetishes run out and the situation becomes far less exciting than when it began. Before I move along, I must point out that I find a girl with cat ears to be hideous. Especially if she already has a set of normal ones and the cat-like ones are popping as extra from the top of the scull. Yuck!

The story (if you are able to find one) is about cat women coming to Earth to have fun and mess with the life of the Archetypical Loser TM; anything other than that is just smokescreen. There are supposed to be conspiracies and alien invasions every now and then, spies double crossing, mecha firing energy beams and huge spaceships blowing up. All of these are presented in the most simplistic and rushed way possible, just as filler for the real focus of the show, which are excuses to have cat girls doing sexual stuff.

To be honest, the premise of the story could lead to something really interesting if it was taken seriously. I mean, it is about aliens coming to study human life and have fun while at the same time preventing their technology from being abused by shadow organizations and protecting the planet from being destroyed by their arch-enemies. Yet all we see is oversexualized nekomimis indulging in all sorts of deprived fetishes because they are supposed to be learning about human culture… which in the context of the series consists of nothing other than hentai magazines and cosplay shops. Seriously, WTF? I know it is a comedy which makes fun of otaku culture but it is doing it in such a blunt way, it is offending.

The lead male is the driest form of Indecisive Leads you can hope to never see again, yet unfortunately here he is once more. I mean, seriously, the scriptwriters didn’t even bother to give him some quirk to at least look a bit different that the rest of his brood. He is just a four-eyed nerd who never expresses his feelings, never decides to get serious with his affections, always runs away from his problems… yet look at that, all the hot chicks love him just for that. Makes sense NOT.

The lead girl is the usual bimbo with huge boobs and tiny brain who one day just drops in the fail-male’s house and immediately tries her best to have sex with him. Heck, it is part of the story too; she is on heat and MUST mate with the first male she likes. She chooses this eunuch, who for some reason hardly cares. Beyond that, there are two other human girls who are super spies or something, taking out armies of terrorists and fighting with mecha as easily as they are having their breakfast. They too are in love with the guy and his completely boring and dried up personality. There are also many other secondary characters, most of which are again oversexualized girs or lolis or MILFs who are there just to further advance the story with more FAP SERVICE. The story had lots of openings to be something really interesting and its cast had enough backdrop to be fleshed out a lot more. We clearly see scenes where the main girls offer insight to what has formed their lives and why they like the main cardboard of a protagonist. All of it gets washed away for sleazy nude and sex jokes around nekomimis, degrading them to nothing other than super hot nekomimi chicks on heat, who love to cosplay.

A special note must be given to the mascots of the show, those small cat android helpers. They are supposed to be cute and eye-catchy. Only thing THEY ARE UGLY F**KERS. Their faces are just emotionless globes with two black spots and their movements are simplistic and not perky at all. They are distasteful critters and I hate them!
