Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows, does more with four 7-minute episodes than most anime accomplishes with hours and hours of exposition. This story is more like a set of connected haikus, or a few simple pen-and-ink drawings, where each careful choice of phrase, or each perfectly drawn line, speaks more deeply than anything else one can imagine.
I loved Daru. His narrative voice was perfect. Even though we'll really never know what cats think, he felt very real to me. And his relationship with Kanojo was portrayed with such nuance and care that I truly believed that his words were truly his own.

The beauty of She and Her Cat: Everything Flows lies in its utter simplicity. It takes what we often take for granted, puts a nice metaphorical spin on it, and connects to us on a deep and heartwarming level that you would never expect in a million years.
Kanojo (or Miyu), the main character of Everything Flows, is a college student who is just beginning to face the real world. As with many other independent college students, she is facing some tough times, but what makes her situation all the more interesting is how she is being bombarded with incessant change. She just recently moved ... Mar 12, 2016
In case your also wondering if the romance is between the girl and the cat, then the short answer is YES but am sure its not as twisted as you might imagine. The story is the most awesome thing about this short anime, its not exactly something that is gonna make you tear up but its guaranteed to move you, watching "Kanojo" from the cats POV as she struggles with finding a job and the stresses of having to adjust to living alone as a new adult in the society.
story: 9/10 Like i said before, the story is definitely the best part about this anime, its ... Mar 18, 2016
So this review is based off the first 2 episodes of the anime, so if anything changes as the episodes are released this review will be changed.
8 - Story: Everything Flows is about the lives of a job hunting girl and her cat. It highlights their friendship through youth and focuses pretty heavily on how the cat sees her and tries to make her life better. And that’s about it. The episodes are 6ish minutes long each so the story is pretty simple. But that’s why I’m gonna give this anime so much dam much credit. Yeah, it has a story that’s simple, but ... Jan 18, 2020
The mere minutes I've spent watching this short series was invaluable. Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows earned the utmost of my appreciation and respect for being able to make me cry in only roughly about 30 minutes. Only fewer anime can pull this off. And what's more surprising is the fact that each episode from this series is only about 7 minutes long.
A certain someone once said that "When you enjoy something, time pushes ahead quickly." . I unquestionably concur with this statement. When I play games, I sometimes become happy. And when I become happy, time moves forward swiftly without me ... Jan 5, 2018
Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko might probably be short but the impact that it leaves you stays longer than you imagine.
As a cat lover, I really enjoyed watching this. The opening suits the "aura" of the anime. And the animation is just magnificent especially if you stream it in HD. The story was lovely and light. One of the great thing about this anime is that it's told in the perspective of the Cat. I'm pretty sure that cats have this thoughts. I got a bit emotional too cause it reminded me of my old cat, yuki. She was sweet and lovely. I suddenly missed ... Jun 25, 2016
This short 4 episode long series follows the life of a girl after graduation, the economic and psychological hardships she faces as she enters the world of adults (No, not THAT part of the adult world, the others) and how she has to rely on herself and her cat, a pet she's had since she was a child. The cat is already pretty old unfortunately and it's clear from the start of the anime that he's getting slower and weaker.
Melancholic themes, a tiny bit of intense drama, nice voice acting by both the cat and the girl (we can hear the thoughts of the cat ... Mar 4, 2016
"I'm searching for her because she's searching for me."
This is my review about Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko. I'll update it in every new episodes. Based on the first Makoto Shinkai's anime project, LIDENFILMS brings the new art and another complex story than the first edition. Because the first edition is very short (around 4 minutes), so, don't hope too much this edition will be long around 20 minutes. Story (8/10): For the story, it's very good. In episode 1, it's a deccent story. Introduce about the main character life and his owner. But for the prologue of the story, there's something so questionable. Why is there ... Jun 16, 2016
I rarely write reviews (and when I do they are very short), but this anime moved me so much that I feel that I must write one.
These four episodes are emotionally powerful especially at their close; the beautiful art and animation style only enforces how deeply affected I was by this anime. It is very well paced except seeming slow at times, but since the series in all is about half an hour it should not make much of a difference. There are only four characters and the main two are very nicely fleshed out, and even one of the others (the mother) has a very ... Mar 31, 2016
I went into this anime with some expectation, and I got some in return.
Story Fairly straightforward, it's simple, but it works. I was in a dilemma of finding a job when I was watching this, so I could relate to a degree. Art This is where I had some mixed feeling. I knew where the spin-off is coming from, so I had a high expectation. But it wasn't that great. Don't get me wrong, it is very beautiful with the scenery and stuff, but it feels more like a painting than animation to me, since the lack of dimension is really bugging me. Especially when the cat is ... Mar 19, 2016
Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows tells the story of a cat and his owner from the perspective of the cat. It is such a simplistic concept, and yet it has instantly earned a place as one of my favorite shows of all time despite being in seven-minute episodes--which says a lot about how good this series of shorts is. After next Friday it will have finished after just four episodes, which is a shame considering just how well written it is, and it really shows off Shinkai Makoto's spectacular skill as a writer. I will highlight everything that makes this show spectacular in

So I watched this on a whim because I am a cat owner. My cat and I share a very tight bond and is a very important part of my life.
Needless to say, this was some of the most emotional 28-30 minutes of my life in terms of anything anime related. The story for myself was extremely relatable, even with the strain of the main character. The art direction fits perfect for the anime, though not as memorable or eye popping as other shows. The story is emotional no matte what, but if you have a pet this show may really dig at your ... Dec 8, 2016
Looking for an anime to relax and kill some time with? Then this one's for you. 4 episodes, only around 13 minutes each, it surprisingly left an impact to me, as simple as it is.
The plot revolves around Daru, an old kitty living together with his owner, a woman struggling to find a steady job. The story is narrated from the POV of the cat, cherishing the time he had with his owner in a series of flashbacks. The plot sounds so simple, but that's exactly why it works. Nothing too complicated to think about, just a fine and relaxing 'healing' kind of show. Nothing much ... Sep 28, 2017
Have you ever wondered how a story narrated by a cat would be?
"Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows" is a very meaningful anime. The title itself is beautiful and matches perfectly the content of the story. Story - 10/10 Daru is an old cat who loves his owner. He never uses her name (Miyu). For him, she is just "kanojo". I liked how Daru's thoughts catch your attention. His voice is so softly. He narrates the story from his eyes--a cat's eyes. It's interesting to know Miyu through his perspective. She is having a bad time. Can't get a job. Misses her mother. Daru is her ... Mar 28, 2022
Usually I don't have a problem with subs, but I have to warn you, it is easy to miss out on a lot if you insist on not watching the dubbed version.
I couldn't tell who was talking sometimes and they do not repeat themselves. The cat in particular has a quiet delivery and likes to practice his poetry, so I found myself zoning out a lot and having to rewind, which ironically ruined the flow. And I probably didn't pay enough attention to the visuals either. The art is good but not flashy, sensitive topics are handled very tastefully, the story is simple and ... Jul 14, 2016
Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko is a show that reveals 4 episodes each not longer than 8 minutes to the audience. However don't be deceived for this show hides more in such a small amount than some shows can't even get done right in 12 episodes.
Short but yet heart-moving story that offers remarkable emotional experience along with amazingly done art and sound that fit together like pieces of puzzle creating a very subtle, exquisite and comfortable atmosphere that hauls along the whole show. What also grabbed my attention was the lenght and amount of episodes which gives this show really alternative or rather indie ... Apr 10, 2016
The similarly-named precursor anime, Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko, is a fine example of what I call “lapidary” anime. Such works are elegant, concise, and concentrated, and bear the same relation to anime in general as poetry does to prose. Like poetry, creating anime of this type requires artistic ablity, skills developed through much practice, and great attention to detail. The creator/director of the precursor work, Makoto Shinkai (新海 誠), is the foremost practitioner of this style, having created a remarkable string of lapidary masterpieces, e.g. 5 Centimeters Per Second and Voices of a Distant Star.
Alas, Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything ... Jun 26, 2016
All too often these days shows serve as lofty escapes from reality, they are simply sanctuaries to stimulate our imagination and play out what ifs. Often, well-grounded shows that deviate from this are are chastised for being too depressing or not imaginative. Well, folks, here is a show grounded in reality; it is a short but bittersweet piece about the chaotic, unforgiving real world and how a single, young-adult deals with it.
Honestly, this show had come and gone, completely escaping my radar until I saw an exhibition on it in the Kyoto Manga Museum. It's not a comedy and there isn't much action, just an ... Mar 26, 2016
I have no idea where to start with this one. This anime is very artistic and it's definitely not for everyone, but a lot of people (myself included) really liked it. It's definitely a lot better than its pre-existing sequel, but still missed a lot in terms of character development and story, though adding to it might actually damage this anime. It can be very confusing sometimes.
The entire story is from the cat's perspective, which was very interesting. It's not the first time something like that has been done, but I never seen a show where the animal (from whose point of view we see ... Mar 25, 2016
This series is honestly a beautiful work of art. I don't think I've ever watched an anime that gave me this many emotions in only 7 short minutes every week for 4 weeks.
The story is simple: a girl named Miyu moves out of her house to live with her black cat and her friend while struggling to find a job. What makes this short series so special, then? Well, everything is seen through Daru, her cat. There's worry in his thoughts, there's admiration, there's care, there's warmth, there's love. Daru loves Miyu. He stays close to her when she's sad and worried, he does ... |
