Ore, Tsushima

"Ore, Tsushi~~~ma."

"This anime is the story of the roaming fat cat boss that is myself, Tsushima, and I have the privilege to be voiced by Akio Ootsuka who did One Piece's Blackbeard. One day, this Ojiichan who picked me up from the dumpster, lashes out at me and questions why am I doing it, because I'm a stray cat dammit. So together with my caretaker that is Ojiichan, voiced by Mayumi Tanaka who did One Piece's iconic character Monkey D. Luffy, both her and I share life together between human and animal.

But, I am not alone in this story. Coupling together with me are 3 ... other cats: Sister Zun (voiced by Mami Koyama who did One Piece's Charlotte Linlin a.k.a Big Mom), Chaa (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto who did ToAru's Accelerator) and Osamu (voiced by Takashi Matsuyama who did One Piece's Daikoku). These 3 cats keep me and Ojiichan company while we roam around and do our stuff. But it's mostly between me and Ojiichan, so let's keep the setting at that, OK?"

This is another crowning achievement of Jun Aoki with his Space Neko Company, together with Fanworks to create this delectable 1~2 minute short series that's a lot of fun and relaxation with a talking cat and its elderly adopted owner.

May the days of Tsushima and Ojiichan never end.

I, simple man.
I, see Jun Aoki.
I, watch.

Ore, Tsushima is another one of Jun Aoki's masterpieces and it's about cats. That of course is entirely obvious whilst not being obvious. It's about cats that aren't entirely cats. The anime recognises it is an anime whilst also attributing the real features and behaviour of cats to its characters. What you get is a hilariously funny anime perfect for its timespan. Sure, there isn't a lot of plot, sure, you may find the characters to be flat, sure, it may lack any reasonable time to develop into something bigger, but why must the lives of cats be ... so complicated? This is the perfect fit, nothing else could have served better.

On the production side of things, this is nothing more than incredible, it was almost as if the artwork designers used microscopes to elaborate on the more minuscule artistic detail because when the characters physique was presented to the viewer, all you could see was glory in the fur, this isn't true for backgrounds and such, but the children bookish style of such was probably Jun Aoki's way of getting a universal target audience. The audio side of things was entirely reliant on character voicing, of course, were all exemplary performances, how could one not love the reactions.

Overall, this anime is just another one of those manga gems based Jun Aoki will adapt for the world to see as an anime spectacle, him + Ore, Tsushima was entirely the correct decision, without question resulting in one of the most enjoyable things in anime, it's time-efficient too. I will 100% read the manga and wait on whatever blessing this man has to bestow on the world.

Thank God for Jun Aoki.

Meet Garfield, Tsushima, or just Tsushimayamaneko.

Our Garfield, however, speaks Japanese. The story focuses on our stray cat, Tsushima, who gets adopted by an old woman, who also has other cats. Here is a plot twist: all cats think the owner is a man, old man, but, here is another plot twist, it is actually an old lady, who does not even look human. The story also has many comedy moments of Tsushima trolling her owner and the whole anime looks like some very short sitcom that is very pleasant to watch. And that is it.

By the way, neko - domesticated cat; yamaneko- feral cat.
