Nyanko Days

Don't overthink it. Succumb to the nyanko.

After years and years of painstaking research, Japan's finest at studio EMT² emerge with the perfect girl-to-kitten hybrids. In fact, these "nyankos" are so cute that we are not worthy to witness them for longer than two minutes at a time!

I don't know what exactly it is, but the fact this series even exists just makes me happy. Nyanko Days is nothing but a quick rush of serotonin in cute chibi nekogirl form. Main character Yuuko is a sweetheart, quite relatable to many in her wallflower personality, and her friend Azumi helps supplement the series with a nice, blossoming friendship (complete with her own nekogirl!) As no series is complete without a rival, Ran introduces herself as such, though of course she has a softer side to her otherwise competitive spirit! Mostly importantly, each of the kittens in Ma, Ro, Shi, and Elsa each express their own individual personalities and quirks, leading for a diverse cast of kittens to cuddle!

No, it's not a literary masterpiece, not even close, but that's not the purpose. Nobody buys a cat and expects it to recite Shakespeare or Descartes. You watch Nyanko Days to feel good. You watch it to forget your troubles. You watch it to see cute cats doing cute things.

Stress from work? School? Break-up? Just angry at the world? Nyanko Days, my friend. Your pain and discomfort will melt away as you're comforted by four of the cutest beings ever drawn. There's something genuine in each and every expression that lets you know everything will be okay.

It's just hard to explain. If you like this kind of über-kawaii content, you're going to like Nyanko Days. Two minutes of your time for a rush of happiness? Count me in.

The only outstanding flaw of the series is how short each episode runs, being only a minute and a half when you exclude the outro. The mini-episodic format the creators elected towards greatly affects the flow of the series, with some episodes forbidding us from even seeing our cute companions in favor of the girls. It will prove one of Japanese animation's greatest tragedies that Nyanko Days didn't get the proper run-time it deserved.

With all of that in mind, there is only one thing to take from this completely serious review: Nyanko is love, Nyanko is life.

Nyanko Days is so sweet that I now have type two diabetes which is growing so rapidly that I will probably die by the time you finish reading this review!

What can one actually say about this show? There is hardly any plot to speak of, and consists of very short two minute episodes in which a girl plays with her pussies. Sure it is cute, and cute things are always charming to a certain extent, but can that be really enough to hold an entire show? Can the cute, bright colour design and animation, coupled with a couple funny jokes really hold up a show? I pondered this question for weeks, spent countless sleepless nights wandering my home, constantly thinking, constantly analysing, can this show hold up by itself? As I watched, on repeat, the extremely catchy and delightful ending song of the show (or opening; I don’t know) I became infatuated with this show. Obsessed. I needed an answer. Could this show be warranted a high score just for being cute when it is devoid of narrative and characters? After all, each one of the pussies has a clear caricature personality archetype: the smart and reserved one, the crazy and hyper one and the token weirdo. As I speculated, day after day, I finally came to an answer. An epiphany, if you will. I realised, why this show was so cute, why it was so fun to watch. It’s because of the almighty pussy!

I then decided that I too must have some pussy! So I scavenged the Earth, and after many weeks, I finally found some! And then later at my check-up with my doctor it turned out by diabetes was actually AIDS and now I’ll be dead as soon you finish reading this review...but at least this show was cute as hell, and very easy to watch, albeit nothing amazing and is completely forgettable by the time the next season rolls over. It’s a passing phase; something cute to distract our lives with for two minutes but the show is nothing more than that. I’d say give it a shot, especially if you like cute things and considering the entire runtime is only twenty-four minutes it won't take you very long. After all, who doesn’t like pussy?

Want some aww moments in your life? This anime is for you then. Watch Nyanko days, as it enfolds the story(if you count 2 minutes each episode as a story) of three extremely kawaii kittens and their master Tomoko.

The animation is superb and so is enjoyment(I'll rank it 100/10 if I can). The characters could have had a better backstory, but oh well, cute cats don't need much explanation, right?

There is not much to think or reflect to, just sit, watch and enjoy the cute kitties playing around and wonder why you couldn't get cats as cute as those.

Imagine if all cats look like dwarf-sized loli nekos and can speak human language. If there was such a thing in reality then I'd probably freak out. But in the world of anime, anything can become possible. The world of anime can make you question your true gender, turn the things you hate into things that you will love, and do other weird shits and get away with it.

Anime is truly weird. But that's why I love watching anime. Nyanko Days is a short anime about girls vibing with undersized loli cats.

honestly I don't know why but I feel stoned after watching this anime. I don't even know what to write on this review anymore. I just want to know when Elon Musk would finally develop the genetically engineered cat girls so i could finally get one- wait i think i just contradicted a point i made on my first paragraph

uh anyways. Each episode is only 2 minutes long so in total its 24 minutes. You either watch this for the moe or watch it because why not.

Recommended to those who are questioning their own life.

sorry if this review was bad for your eyes.

For me, Nyanko was the disappointment of the season. That said it was the disappointment of the season as soon as it came out that the episodes were 2 minutes long rather than something longer. And as it turns out it happened to be massively detrimental to the quality of the show.

Usually the shows best suited toward being shorts are those that are comedic gag series; there are other shows that work but for the most part, it doesn't suit most shows. While Nyanko is listed as a comedy I didn't find it particularly funny. I don't even think it is much of a comedy, sure it has it's moments of comedy but that's not it's focus. Rather, Nyanko is a show that lives off of its cuteness. And while that can be digested in 2 quick minutes the show failed to make me attached to the characters which, in my opinion, is necessary to get the full cuteness in. Otherwise what makes these cat girls special? Why not look at other animations or other pictures that can be found scattered around the Internet? As much as I love cuteness, for it to be a worthwhile show I need to have some basis for that cuteness, something I can attach to that enhances that cuteness. Nyanko does not have that.

It's not just that the characters don't get developed, it's that the characters feel dull and cliche. The black cat is studious and reserved, the orange cat is a playful tomboy, the white cat is the sweet one, the rich girl's cat is a tsundere. They're nothing more than these traits nor do they ever break out of them. They feel so obvious and manufactured that I have a hard time actually liking them. The only way they are set apart from their archetypes is that at least they do act like cats. So, If you really like cats you'll probably enjoy them. But if you're looking for more than that, this show does not provide.

There isn't really a plot but really that doesn't matter. If you're here expecting a plot you're in the wrong place, and that's not Nyanko's fault. It's not very notable in anything else besides the OP, which is quite CUTE. You know what? Go watch the OP. You get 30 seconds of pure cuteness and a catchy song. It's well worth a watch or 12. But as for the show unless you're as much of a cat lover as the MC I'd suggest you skip it.

Sure i will put 10 for nyanko days had coloured my life

When I was 5 years old, I went to my aunt's house. She had a cat there, a type of domesticated animal that I hadn't seen before. As I went up to greet it, the feline lifted it's tail in my direction. You see, when cats's are scared, they perform an action called "spraying" where they expel urine in a certain direction. The direction, in this case, was toward my soft young face. Now, remember that cat urine contains 0.05% ammonia (about 1% of the concentration that might be found in household cleaners), among other caustic substances. This resulted in a horrible burning sensation on my paper-thin facial flesh. I tilted my head backwards and unleashed a pained, terrified scream.

Ever since then I've hated cats; even despised them. However, the cats in Nyanko Days are quite different. They lack all of the unappealing aspects of the domesticated feline, while retaining their cute and playful nature. The severely limited intellect of the cat is replaced with that of a precocious child, and their sharp claws and disease-ridden fangs are nowhere to be seen (Note: cats harbor a large amount of bacteria in their mouths, and bites from them can lead to severe conditions like sepsis or worse).

Their dander-riddled fur is also completely absent, with the Nyanko Days cats bearing soft, warm human flesh. I remember staying the night at my aunts house when she had her cat there. In the middle of the night my throat swelled up, restricting the intake of air to my lungs. Had my reaction been a bit worse, I could have died. It was all due to that cat. That evil, evil cat.

Thankfully, the cats in Nyanko Days wouldn't do that to me. They're sweet little girls that just want to love you and have fun. This show transports me to a world where cats aren't malicious creatures of chaos, but adorable soft little bundles of joy.

I'm rating the "sound" score very high mainly because of the opening song, which is very cute and catchy, despite it's short run-time of 30 seconds. Cat's in real life don't make pleasant sounds like this. I remember when my roommate got a cat a year ago. At night it would sit outside my bedroom door for hours on end, screaming like it was in the throes of death. It was absolutely horrid. One day after work, I returned to my bedroom to find my figure of my dear waifu Hestia on the floor broken, with a dreadful pile of cat feces on it. Outside, in the hallway, I spotted a pair of feline eyes glaring at me, glowing a sinister gold and full of primal malice. I cried myself to sleep that night...

Anyway, back to my discussion of Nyanko Days. It's a fun, saccharine 1-minute long dose of cutesy moe that's worth a watch whenever you're feeling blue. When I see those cute little moe-blobs, I can't help but smile and feel calm, even with memories of my feline-related trauma wriggling through my subconscious, threatening to break through to the surface at any given moment.

I have to admit, sometimes I lay in bed and weep from the fact that I'm trapped in this corporeal 3D body, unable to ascend to the eternal paradise known as the 2D world. What did we all do to deserve this foul, dreadful curse?

But I digress. Nyanko Days is a great show and you should give it a watch.

Final verdict: 8/10.

If you are like me who likes to watch many times some anime just to relax and have fun this is the right anime. I dare say it's one of the best, where you always watch every happy and many (VERY MUCH) fluffy moments (100% of the time is cute).
  At first the protagonist is a shy girl who, instead of relating to other people, prefers to keep her cute kittens, which are really cute (have I already said they are cute?). It has 3 kittens and they are easily memorable, so in the first speech of each one you already know exactly the personality of each one, which makes them from the beginning striking and lovely characters. What really marked me in this anime is that exactly ALL the conversations and situations of all the episodes (released so far) are extremely funny and fluffy it seems until I'll melt away from such cute.
The best point about this anime is that with only 2 minutes in length they do a awesome job to makes you cling so much to the characters

Just a personal opinion: this is one of the types of anime that I really wish it had more than 700 eps with 20 minutes minutes long.

Don't mind the score. It's 100 % worth it to watch this. Who doesn't like some neko's talking sweetly ?


Pros : 1) Great characters
2)It's cute
3)Voice acting is top notch
4)Good character design



Cons : 1) TOO DAMN SHORT !! :( :( :(
2)Doesn't have an op



Worth it ? : It's a great show with only 2 mins per episode there is nothing to lose here.So just watch it :)

I rate it 6/10 just cause it's a short series it gets a little low score.

come on mal more long ? come on mal more long ? come on mal more long ? come on mal more long ? come on mal more long ? come on mal more long ?

Calling this anime as one of the most irritating to watch is just an understatement. I can sympathize with you that the anime is way too fucking short, and even if you planned to skip watching the anime until the full release of it comes out, you're going to have to deal with the op and ed, in which you have to skip it arduously. Unless, for the love of god, someone actually cut out the op and ed, and put every clip of actual content, excluding op and ed being played over and over again, then that would make the experience of watching this anime alot better. I personally dont really understands why a show that's so much cuter than most moe blob, or any other moe show that I've personally seen (excluding a few in which I couldn't remember the name). Although, from what im seeing, it's not much of a different show than how most moe show are, and that's to prioritize cuteness, childishness, and very slice of life with not much interesting or great theme in there, but only very simple or general theme for these kind of anime to have. However, I still enjoy this shit.

It's, overall, not a bad anime. I actually enjoy every bit of this anime, since the characters (well fuck the owners), is SO FUCKING CUTE!!!!!!!!! I just can't help it. That doesn't make me a pedo right? Well who cares anyway, cuteness is laifu.

Basically Nukoduke, but gayer (+1) and not really about the cats themselves/the interactions between owner and pet; rather, it's more about the human characters.

At 2 minutes long, the episodes are unfulfilling and relatively uneventful. The main character, Yuuko, is relatable to anyone who was more of an outcast at school, and her relationship with Azumi--the popular girl in her class--is cute, but both these characters and their interactions feel to me like they lack depth. I'm really hoping this changes, but at the time I'm writing this, it's just a shy girl and her popular, near-perfect girlfriend, with not much else defining them other than their mutual love for cats.

I do recommend this anime. With that said, don't expect much other than sheer cuteness going in, because that's all it really has going for it at the moment. This is something you watch after a hard day to have a short little break from life and indulge in tiny cat girls. (though, 2 minutes per week... maybe wait until the series is finished before watching this)

6/10 Only due to the fact that episodes are too short. 2 min episodes with ed taking up about 30 sec of that time if i'm not mistaken. If the length of each episode doesn't bother you and you want a cute anime to watch then you should enjoy. Only 5 episodes in at the moment but I don't imagine much will change (Especially the episode length).

I don't often write reviews but at the same time I also don't usually give a show this low of a rating so I felt obligated to give a reason for the lower rating. When all is said and done I still do enjoy watching each very short episode.

Hope this review was helpful :)

Nyanko Days successfully gives a show full of kawaii-ness especially for neko and nekomimi lovers. From the colourful nuance feasts the eyes 'til kawaii 'human' characters and neko​girl. There's nothing superb with the visualization, but it is plenty enough for bringing us the feel of kawaii all over the place.

Adapted from 4-koma manga, the anime adaptation is last for approximately 2 minutes per episode. Therefore, observing from the length of the series, there isn't much thing to explain for the story and characters traits. In a few episodes, Konagai Yuuko and her school life dominates the scenes while in the other hand and other occasions, her three adorable cats take control. All of the characters are characterized as cute, humble, real teenagers in their puberty (who concerns of little things), has a weakness but still "cute". We can find inbetween-girls problem too, like rivalry. The cats, I believe are presented well the real cats traits of the species even though I never met those cats in real life. Sometimes the story is more into the pets rather than its owner (and that's how I like it more lol), but don't worry there are also the human characters too take place. There is no complicated matter in this short series except the Yuuko's school life at first as the introduction only.

There is only one soundtrack for Nyanko Days, Nyanko is L♥VE! by every❤ing!. It's catchy and buck me up. The seiyuu(s) singing in nasal voices and fun rhythm. It's getting more fun while watching the background scenes as the song is playing.


Nyanko Days, that worth 8, saves me for a few hours after watching other series or doing my assignment. The joy vibrates as I enjoy the cats do kawaii things. Moreover catchy theme song that's fit for the show to cherish the viewer.

The story and characters are good, especially considering it's 2 minutes each episode. There's a limit to how much story and characters you can fit in that amount of time, so I think the content was actually good. It was enough to make me think "oh this is cute". It's mostly about cute nekos and the everyday life of a teenage girl.

The art is simple yet cute. I personally like it as it helps emphasise the cuteness of the series. If it was going for a moe direction, I feel the art did well in this. The music is also nice, it's quite catchy and fits the cute theme it was going for.

I personally really enjoyed this series. It was very cute, with the nekos and the comedy brought on by the female characters. I thought it would only focus on the nekos but it actually also looked at female characters and their moe traits.

Perfect anime to watch when you are bored. It is short, funny and cute.
This anime is a Master piece considering it's purpose and limitation.
2 min ep you can't expect more than that.
Story: well it's a 2min/ep there... story obviously is not the focus.
Art: Just Fucking Cute... all of them
Sound: Well I'm not an expert in sound... I could hear so it is 10
Character: Again, 2min/ep you can't expect character development or anything, but all of them are cute and lovely in a certain way
Enjayment: Laughts and Ownt, those are the reactions watching this show

The anime is about a friendless girl called Yuko, who is in love with their three humanized female cats: Roo, Shii and Maa. With the developement of the story, Yuko achieves make a new friend called Azumi, a rich girl who also has a female cat called Elza. The episodes only have a 2 minutes duration, but actually, the real duration is 1' 30'' because the ending/opening (yes you read right, opening and ending are the same), last 30 seconds of the episodes which make a total of 2 minutes.

When i looked for further info about the anime i discoverd that it was labeled as a "seinen" because it's first appearance was in the seinen magazine "Monthly Comic Alive" but this is more a shoujo than a seinen.

The anime ended as a "non season 2 anime" (at the moment), it is worth to watch it but is such a shame that the entire season can be watched in half an hour, the story could be much better and the plot is enough to make a good shoujo, but i guess that the imagination or the budget was very low. Anyway, if your doctor says you only have 30 minutes to live i highly recommend to spend that 30 minutes watching this anime, you can thank me in the next life.

A very cute anime, but one that while not leaving much to be desired, is too small a dosage to satisfy and occurs infrequently enough to leave you annoyed.

I actually have to admit, I really do like this anime, it has the perfect amount of adorableness to tranquilize me, and the characters are fun and likable. But with how short each episode is, instead of leaving me hooked for the next episode, it leaves me with the feeling of "that's it?" that when combined with each episode only being released weekly, makes it very hard to get into and get any real satisfaction.

Puchimas is an anime I would often suggest, as while it was short, it lasted at least a few minutes, enough to allow a small plot to potentially occur, and enough time to let the cuteness take effect. It also came out once every weekday, ensuring that there would be a constant dose of cuteness every day of the week.

I would have enjoyed it more if the episodes were at least a couple minutes longer, even if it was still just once a week, it would have offered more to get me hooked to it each week. I would personally suggest that this might be better for doing a binge watch after it is finished (well, finished a season at least) than trying to watch on a weekly basis. Because otherwise it mostly offers a small distraction during your week, rather than a lift-me-up that a full season could.

Don't have much time to watch anime? Love chibis and cats to an unhealthy degree? Have a huge affinity for overused character tropes with almost zero character development? Then you have found your muse right here...

So really there isn't much of anything to the story, but that's because the episodes are TWO MINUTES LONG (including the OP) so anyone would struggle to get much of any content in with that timeframe. This is probably the lowest score I've given because considering the length, it is the laziest writing that you could do. We'll come back to that later though...

Art was decently good. The cat girl chibi thinga-ma-doo's are cute and everything, but most of the art is nothing great or groundbreaking in any way. With a series this short, you could at least do something unique or stylistic (like Space Patrol Luluco) but it's just the same stuff you see in nearly all anime.

Voice acting and the music seemed fine, not much to comment on but the stuff that was there is fine. Not much to comment on really.

And now we're back to that story thing. With only having to write for a 2min (including OP) episode, you could probably get away with more unique characters than we're given. Since you don't need to make up hardly any dialogue to finish the series, you could take more risks or do something different to stand out. The MC is bland, the cat chibi girl things are cute but stock personalities, and the other cat loving girl is like a Miyuki clone from Lucky Star. For a normal length series, you can understand having to hover around certain archetypes and such since there is a lot to pad out. There was almost zero deviation though, the characters couldn't have been more stock.

Believe it or not though, for what was actually there, I enjoyed it. It just seemed unsatisfying since it was so short (again, TWO MINUTES PER EPISODE INCLUDING OP), it almost felt like more of a waste of time since it was so short and didn't go anywhere. Beware though, the sugary cuteness is strong with this one...might give some of you guys diabetes if you aren't careful. Maybe that's why it's so short? lol

Ehh, this is definitely a skippable anime, but doesn't eat up much time if you wanna give it a try. If there's nothing else to watch or you're like really into chibi cat things then this may be for you. Just very mediocre...

You know I'm against animal abuse in the real world, but if anyone wants to throw these things in the river.

But seriously this show, isn't that bad. Its about three cute cat girls and their owner and her sadness of not having a friend. The story is, forgettable. Just used as a way to show cute neko girls, which is whatever. I would have dropped the owner character all together and have just three cat girls going around their business being a cute neko and market it to kids. But thats just me.

Best girl would have to go to Shii, mostly cause she reminds me of bubbles from powerpuff girls and that makes her more cute by science of screw you.

Honestly I do recommend this, but only for something to do if you've got 2 minutes to kill and want to see cute cat girls doing cute cat stuff.

Nyanko days while it does have flaws, and it is like every other slice of life anime it is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Usually slice of life moe anime are usually hit or miss, so why did I like this one? The story is calm, and heartwarming it doesn't have any drama or horror which is a popular element in anime. The soundtrack is a bit annoying, but you'll get used to it. I really like the character's design. The characters are sweet and likable. I overall enjoyed it, but just like all anime there are cons. Do to it being a slice of life anime, and not having any real plot it does get a bit boring, and full of fluff. Also the animation is generic it could do better. But I would still recommend it to slice of life moe fans as it's cuteness will put a smile on anyone.
