| I'm surprised to see that mangaka Angyaman's Ramen Akaneko is serialized in Shonen Jump+, similarly along the likes of Ruri Dragon. Wednesday Campanella's OP is a bop, and Rikon Densetsu's ED is more of the same. With that said, this is a rather harmless slice-of-life show involving anthropomorphic cats serving ramen, produced by Park Sunghoo's E&H Animation, which fits within that ballpark, I feel. And a girl by the name of Tamako Yashiro comes for Red Cat Ramen's job interview involving Bunzo, which he hires her on the spot not being allergic to cats. And having a tiger of Kirshna as a protector for all things bad, she's the cutest and shy tiger that I did not expect to hear. The Red Cat Ramen store filled with boss Bunzo (VAed by TsudaKen), head chef Sabu, customer service Hana (VAed by Rie Kugimiya), cashier Sasaki and noodle chef tiger Krishna (VAed by Saori Hayami). Yashiro (VAed by Kurumi Orihara as her anime debut) comes in as a cat caretaker, and the only human capable...to brush their fur. To think that Yashiro is given so much by the cats, it's a sigh of relief for her Aside from the stacked cast, it's just a good chill show to have a time of rest...Isekai Shokudou style, but with ramen and cats. |

| From the studio that brought you an anime of all time, Ninja Kamui, now comes a rather different anime, to say the least. Suiyoubi no Campanella OP is so dumb and catchy that I love it lmao. Same to be said about Rikon Densetsu ED. Unexpected banger of an OST. Tamako Yashiro arrives for a part-time job interview at Red Cat Ramen, a shop run entirely by cats. When the feline manager, Bunzo, asks if she likes cats, Tamako admits that she prefers dogs. Despite this, she is hired on the spot and soon meets her feline coworkers. However, her job description isn't quite what she expected—instead of serving ramen, she’s now a dedicated cat caretaker. Don't know what it is with Sunghoo Park and all his productions having to have a character voiced by Kenjirou Tsuda, but hey seeing the goat speaking a cat is comedy gold so I'm not complaining lols. Also don't know what it is with Japan and cats working at ramen places, but this is now like the third time a show like this has been made. These cats are funny asf though, dude fr said " there aren't labor law for cats" lmaoooo. A fun and rather sweet start. This'll be the relaxing and chill show of the season, and a great one at that. |

| Very cute and wholesome start. I like the characters. Krishna is so big and fluffy. :3 This is already a lot better than Neko Ramen. To be honest, I didn't expect a full-length episode, so it was a positive surprise. AM9:00 - Brushing the Staff AM11:00 - More brushing Sounds like my dream job. =^_^= Definitely a hidden gem candidate of the season. |

| @KANLen09 Isekai Shokudou but with ramen and cats is the perfect description of this show, xD. That's the first thought that came to mind too. I would love to visit a place like that, lol. Can't be seeing we're too fonds of cats, huh? That's a difficult challenge... TsudaKen-san's voice is always welcome! Saori Hayami-san playing the big tiger role was hilarious and on point. Pretty cool Op, that. Already on board. |

| I would’ve sworn Saori Hayami is the MC, not Krishna. The voice sure sounded similar to me. The first ep wasn’t what I expected at all & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoping it will continue to be a pleasant surprise like Masterful Cat & ‘Tis Time for “Torture” were for me. |

| Quite like the OP song. |
 |
| I really liked this it's really unique and the characters so far are so likeable I think this show will be really entertaining. |
| The fluffiest series this season is here and it’s cute, stack recognizable VAs going through slice of life shenanigans is the pinnacle of entertainment. Tamako VA’s Orihara Kurumi first anime debut, wonder if we can watch her voice acting range in this series. Basically giving your coworkers a bath is a weird job routine to say the least nya.  |
| Wow wonderful start! I loved all the characters and perfect casting in VAs. I also loved Krishna, good name good character. ♡ |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| one of the most welcome anime of this season for me! easily 9/10 from first ep going to be 10/10 further cause y'know, it's cats and ramen and Hayami Saori and Kugimiya Rie and relaxing atmosphere overall. |
| To err is human. To purr is feline (c) |
| We seriously need more antropomorphic sol series like this xD |

| I love the manga and this did a good job character wise adapting but man they cheaped out super hard on the animation. This CGI is abyssmal |
| Another cute anime airing this season... omg.... It would be great if there was a real ramen shop like that in real life :") the closest is cat cafe, but sometimes the cats there are very lazy lol either because they are too full of being fed by humans or too tired of interacting and being sweet to humans hahah.... :"D But this is honestly adorable... usually humans work and look for cats to relax, but this is reversed with the cats working and looking for humans to relax... the tiger is really cute... if only real tigers were as cute as Krishna... |

| What was the MC doing at the end? It looked like she had the wick part of a candle on her arm. Really cute anime. Wonder what Hana’s deal is? Especially since she called MC a “nepo baby”. |

Ohayotaku said: I would’ve sworn Saori Hayami is the MC, not Krishna. The voice sure sounded similar to me. Same. They almost sound the same to me, so it feels strange when the two of them are talking to each other. As for the show, it looks like a zero-stakes, hang-out kind of anime. There's some slightly distracting CG animation, but the show feels almost immune to that kind of criticism. This might be great for popping in every few weeks. |
| Quite the weird series to be honest. Don't know what to think. But at least Tsuda Kenjirou is voicing in this one, maybe the biggest reason I'll watch this. Also I'm a cat person but I wished they'd be animated a little better. |

| The constant jump between 2d and 3d is jarring but the one thing I didn't like in this episode is they made Sabu a Chef already. it was a big accomplishment for him in the manga. |
| Imagine trying to enjoy your meal at a cat ramen shop, and some dollar tree Kazuma Kiryu starts a scene, and then a literal tiger comes out from the back. Honestly, anime of the season, for sure. |
 |
| really loved this first episode, based on it I wouldn't say this anime is amazing or awful, just a nice show to sit back and relax to. Out of the seasonal animes I've started though, I do have to say it's my favourite so far. I don't think it'll be holding that place long though, looking at what's coming up. Not a big fan of the animation, but the cast is seriously stacked- maybe that's why the animation isn't great lmao. Either way I enjoyed it and I feel like I'll be watching this one to the end |
 |
| Seems pretty stale to me if its just going to be backdoor brushing. Nothing to really keep me watching aside of the VA's. |
| . |
| Not the worse start, especially when compared to other shows I've seen in this season so far, but I'm not the biggest fan of the animation style. It looks really weird at times, and at the start I kept thinking like 'is this 3D? No, it's 2D... or is it?' I'll stick around for now, I guess, but yeah not a fan of the animation, but it's not too bad Question though, what was the MC doing at the end? |
 |
| What the hell did i just watch? Also never have i ever expect to hear Kenjirou Tsuda voicing a Cat cooking Ramen LMAO Ngl there are multiple times i thought Tamako Yashiro was voice by Saori Hayamin, her voice are so similar. |
 |
| a ramen place run by nekos - and a behind-the-scenes tiger acting as bouncer/security guard too! lol interesting and entertaining. |
       |
| another quick drop it is . might have been watchable if they just used normal humans , still doubt it though . whatever , 2 more shots . make'em count! |
