Not very interesting. The characters could be enjoyable. I'm wondering what will they do with that new green-hair neko.

Sasuga Japan. After crowdfunding efforts to a short condensed-but-rushed film and an OVA, we're finally getting the TV adaptation with the glorious waifu loli cats to start the new decade.

Moe Slice-of-Life mostly is the feeling, though from VNs the appeal lying in the (ahem) Hentai parts, it can be weird from the change of atmosphere.

Pretty good? Decent to say the least.

I was honesty expecting a visual novel adaptation, but by the looks of it that's not the case for now? I mean; Chocola and Vanilla already have their bells, so a sequal from the visual novel maybe?

Iether way; it was fun first episode.
There are 2 OVAs, one an hour long and the other 20 minutes that provide the backstory. And, yes the anime’s are mostly going for wholesomeness rather than ecchi. Though there are a few subtle ecchi jokes.

I appear to be the only one who had no idea what this was all about.

From the other comments, my thoughts concerning some of the artists possibly being involved with "thin books" appears to be spot on. The details in a couple of the shots were far too tropistic to be chance.

That said... while clearly packed with fan service, it does appear to be "cloaked" as ccdct (Cute Cats Doing Cute Things).

It'll be interesting to see just how they go about skirting the line between "family friendly entertainment" and "cultural resource materials".
That in itself could be sufficiently entertaining to keep watching.

So many cat girls.
It was nice to watch tho it seems one of them picked up a stray.
Another fact which should be noted is that the only male character so for has they same voice as a certain annoying harem main, which is a shame seen the type of anime this is.

Other than that this was pretty nice.


It kinda is a harem tbh? At least OG Visual Novels lol

But yeah I see what you mean xD

I'm so happy x3 Literally, Nekopara is one of my favorites and knowing it got an anime has made me happy and I can't wait to see where this goes tbh : 3 Curious what they'll cover (especially with new character?) and if they'll adapt any of the stuff from the original Visual Novels? but regardless this is gonna keep me happy throughout the season x3

Funimation needs to fuck off and translate properly.
I know 'neko' technically means 'cat', but everyone knows they mean 'catgirl'.
Also, pretty sad they don't have the original VAs
The catgirls also seem much more catlike than in the VN, which is interesting

i don't hate this but it feels super lacking ,and i say this as a cat owner and a fan of CGDCT but this was some basic ass weeb trash which is fine i just never understood the fandom for the game when it came out beyond hey it's cute anime cat girls run by the fuel of the classic waifu wars meme'd into being referred the best thing ever 10/10 so i just assumed it was the internet being the internet at the time and it was just because it actually had porn in it lol.


i'll give it a try maybe it's just the OVA /anime that's bad and the game is far more enjoyable for more than one reason..but we'll see.

Watching this series without thinking about the sex scenes will be my personal task from now on.

OK start, I guess. Production values seem decent enough but as a SoL/CGDCT show, it feels a bit shallow. Maybe it's just me trying to get used to this new more lighthearted approach so I hope things become more interesting with this new storyline regarding the stray loli neko.

Very cute anime. I never read the VN or didn`t see OVA but i enjoyed the show anyway. I deceded to watch this because i love cats and i heard about this series from a youtuber, LostPause. Chocola reminds of my boyfrend cat a little bit.

As an avid Nekopara fan, I could not be happier. I can already tell where this is going, please note I did not read the manga, just speculating.

Shigure is shown being perhaps a little disappointed that her beloved catgirls are becoming more independent as she really loves helping them around and "training" them. Later in the episode Chocola find a stray that follows her home, this stray will no doubt become a part of the Minaduki family, Kashou is not going to be able to care for a kitten so Shigure will take on the role.

Loved it, can't wait for more.

I'm also a Nekopara fan, and I am delighted to finally see a TV adaptation. The first episode started off nicely, and I hope the show plays out very nicely to the end.

Though I must admit, the new VA's were a bit jarring to get used to. Just a tiny bit. I do kind of wonder why they didn't go with the original VA's.
To be or not to be... that is not the question. ;3

If there was a change in seyuu, I didn't notice it.
Feels like they've played up Vanilla's gayness for Chocola (which matches the pre-VN manga, btw).
They definitely played up Cinnamon' gayness for Maple.
Exposition felt pretty forced.
I wonder where this stray kitten plot is going to go.
Vanilla best girl.

Finally the most beautiful and adorable Nekos arrive, what a joy.
Shigure's introduction was very successful, the pastry shop with the cutest Nekos you've ever seen.
The morning of Chocola and Vanilla are very fun and that naughty part of Vanilla I didn't know her and I liked her a lot.

Shigure also has a fun morning with her Nekos, Azuki and Coconut preparing breakfast, although in reality Azuki was the one who cooked for the good of all since Coconut does not know how to use a knife. Maple and Cinnamon have their own problems with regard to the use of the bathroom, poor Cinnamon who almost does not arrive on time and that would have been a disaster.
The cat fight was so hilarious, Azuki should not interrupt Coconut's beauty naps in that way, also due to the difference in sizes Azuki ended up at a disadvantage.

Poor Chocola who was hungry, the face she put on when the lady offered her cake, but Vanilla did not let it go and took the hungry Neko away from the customers.
I did not know that Cinnamon had such fantasies with Maple, I hope that this image is not so far from reality and let's see a similar moment with them.

Chocola found a street Neko on her way to shop, a very shy little girl who apparently ended up following Chocola to the bakery, I hope they sympathize and adopt the little Neko.

The ED is too touching, remembering the past of the Nekos through the family album, Shigure is so precious.
The truth is that I was surprised at the result of this first episode, I already had the expectations very high after the two OVAS that came out before, now we only have to enjoy these tender and adorable Nekos.

If you're not feeling the warmth, then you are the one lacking it. Depression can easily wipe out any enjoyment of things that are very enjoyable, I've experienced it many times.

Can they study... do jobs...man like what is the premise anyway

Or maybe I'm not a deranged misogynist and prefer my waifus well-rounded, humanized, lively and interesting. Just anything that's entirely the opposite of what was presented here. This isn't enjoyable for everyone. Watching this will make me depressive, I don't get the appeal. It's so lifeless.

The visual novel explains everything at the beginning. I'm guessing this adaptation assumes that we've all read the vn prior to watching.

I don't really see the point in Nekopara without Sayori's artwork and the H-scenes. What I think made the VN so good is the fantastic art and general high quality in its production with good background music and animated sprites. As well as of course well done H-scenes. I just see this as being vastly inferior to the VN.

There was 2 or 3(I dont remember) episodes before this season, where it was explained how they get it and how the end up in restaurant, so this is why it is not here, i guess. This season is more like continuation of episodes which was before this one.

I wonder what was the point of Neko Works to raise that crowdfunding other than to produce an average/bad OVA and keep most of the money to themselves. But if this TV adaptation came to fruition thanks to that it's okay too, it already is way better than the OVA for sure although I'm missing the original seiyuu hard.

I bought Volume 1 on Steam around 2016 and first played through it without the R18 patch and enjoyed it. Of course, after I installed the patch I enjoyed it even more than I want to admit. Because of this, for me, Nekopara is a slice of life first and porn second.
