| ABEMA Premium / CR Early Streaming. Mangaka Hawkman's lone series...is quite the horror that you can't see cats the same way ever again. THE YELLOW MONKEY's OP is quite the ominous, but bopping beat goodness! The world dominated by cats in an alternate timeline, it's quite the nyanpandemic in which a virus turns anyone who touches a cat into a cat. The human warriors of Masaki and Kaoru try their best to stay alive and pamper the cats while they can, but when someone eats cat food enough to turn into a cat, thus affecting lots of people, and Masaki and the cat cafe too while at it. Time to avoid the nyan-apocalypse! WANIMA's rockhard ED is quite the showcase alright. |

| NYA! =^_^= Such a wacky start. As a huge cat lover, this is definitely a must watch. "I will kill any in this world who bring harm to cats." -Kunagi Well said. All those cat facts were really nice. |

| This was everything that I expected it to be and was not disappointed at all. Perfectly walks the line between seriously and overly-serious to the point of being hilarious. Should be a great watch every week. |
| Anime has peaked yet again |

| I watched the horror classic only last year and now we got the cat version of it. That's such a cute way to turn :3 I would rather get licked by a bunch of of 🐱 than get bitten. Love the premise to death and the opening is gold. This is fr the cutest horror of I've seen. Gremlins ain't got nothing. I hope it stays as engagingly hilarious all the way. The little gags inbetween had me seriously loling, too. Like the No Cat No Life" billboard and they gave cat safety check a whole new meaning.  "What do you mean? I'm still hungry, stupid human" |

| The beautiful visuals, the horror tropes and parodies, the gusto with which the VAs are playing, all the cat puns and cat facts,...this show is great. And yeah, metal is rarely used as BGM in anime, here it fits the tone. |
| This Is so wacky and hilarious can't wait to see more. |
| Some really really really likes drawing cats. "Nyandamic" Obscuring the face of the accused "Origin" cat. "Trapped like rats." |

This anime reminds me that I should watch Night of the Living Dead.
| @phantomfandom 1968 or 1990? Both the original and the remake are worthy. Skip the 2006, 2014, and 2021 remakes; they're ass. |

| Thank you for subscribing to Cat Facts. This is very silly and scratches my cat itch perfectly. If I were in this world, I would probably get catted on Day 1. Fight on for me, cute girl and cat otaku! |

| Never seen such a spin on zombie apocalypse lmao. I am actually interested in the story on a deeper level, so we have Kunagi, no memories, random cat bell, injured by something. I think he is probably the cat called Origin who turned into a human or a scientist who worked with it. Nonetheless, he must be key in turning back the population to normal, if that is the end game. |
| Honestly think MANY people would be open to being cats really lol...but thats the joke I guess George A Ramero is rolling in his grave right now over this anime |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| 10/10, no doubt. for a cat lover like me it's more like aots than y'know-what-anime-by-kyoani (sorry guys, really) |
| To err is human. To purr is feline (c) |
| This is so insanely ridiculous ahaha It's like that Weatherman stand from Jojo Pt 6 where everyone was turning into snails, except it's cats. |
 |
| Why does this have some of the best artwork of the new releases that I've seen so far this season? It's not scary or funny, but it is odd and I like odd. |
| Laughing like crazy here. But unless it develop a serious plot or something I think I will stop finding it funny in 3 or 4 episodes. |
| I thought that it's gonna be like zombie apocalypse where all the cat are going to eat them. |

| Any other season this would be a no brainer watch, but already starting to feel the weight of this season. Love the concept and comedy but as others state it's going to be interesting to see if / how they manage to keep the show feeling fresh after 3-4 episodes. |
| The first episode already showed two major problem with the series: - cop out transition into cat - lack of creative absurdity to the point of being boring This could be a good flick if they don't shy away from showing some uncanny absurdity as how a human transform into a cat without fading effects. If anyone familiar with An American Werewolf in London (1981), those know the movie is just merely fine and the only scene that shines like gold is the slow-mo transformation of the protagonist into a werewolf. This could have been done here too, or at least throw some solution from The Thing (1982) or The Fly (1986). Heck, even some zombie flicks got time for show the demise of a single human being. The transformation is just too quick with no impact, yet with creativity it can be even more absurd and shocking while laughable how other characters are reacting to it. The other is how boring it is. Okay, only one ep deep in so far, yet shown all the cliché you can get from a zombie-flick buffet with no spin on it or adapting towards the show's content. So... could be A LOT better. |
| This sucked so bad I only made it just past the 10 minute mark. And I'm a cat person. Dropped before I even got to 1. Avoid it like it was a mangy stray. |

I knew I was hooked the second I saw the cat mob.  |
| The gags were mildly funny, if a little predictable and labored. Like the last scene with the infected guy feeling the urge to swat at the bell. Not a fan of 3D CG cats and how they're drawn somewhat realistically. The zombie transformation was lame. I wasn't expecting some kind of lore or mystery behind the apocalypse, but looks like we might be getting some? That might be what gets me to keep watching for a few more episodes. I get the feeling that the guy with the memory loss used to be a cat before. |
| Absolutely awesome idea, but I have my doubts about how it will go. Animation, especially CGI, looks pretty meh. Comedy/parody is decent I guess? |
| Lol, it was funny but i can see it becoming very predictable in the future i mean, the already went through so much cat lore in the 1st ep |
| A story with a seemingly preposterous premise that could well deliver on comedy, mystery and horror. I'll keep watching. 😸 |
 |
| Goofy ass show. Hopefully it brings something creative and isn't yet another "one trick pony" show. |
 |
| Cat and horror? Hmm sounds great to me! Nyandemic!!! |
| 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 |
| Freaking hilarious! All these negative ratings are dog lovers 🤣 |
 |
| This would have been perfect as a 10 minutes OVA or something. The joke is already getting old by the end of the episode. |
 |
| Was hoping I'd like this a lot more. Fun concept, but the jokes are so forced even with it clearly being cheesy on purpose. |

| @JustMonaka exactly, I don't know if I can keep up with this for 12 episodes |
Reply to WestOnAndrewAve
So this is very obviously a parody but neither the manga nor the anime have the parody or comedy tag so does it gets serious or something? lol
| @WestOnAndrewAve idk it kinda throws me too, but also kinda makes sense? like, going by the first episode, there aren't outright comedic moments... it seems to be the kind of comedy that comes from playing an absurdist premise straight and seriously... Like, because the characters, mood music, etc takes the Nyandemic so seriously, it becomes funny to the audience. But then I'm not sure a genre like that constitutes it being called a comedy/parody? I feel like a mod would need to come in with solid guideline explanations to delve into that further tbh It was like earlier this last year, I was showing my dad Mieruko-chan... where the art for the ghosts are really well done in the horror department, but the comedy comes from the situation of MC not being able to actively react to the ghosts around her, creating scenes that in-universe are suspensful but hit the right kind of dumbfounded-freeze-frame kind of scenes that I'm fairly certain are intended to be comedic, in a very dry comedy kind of way. My dad, however, when trying it, really just saw it as an interesting horror series. Overall, it seems like a hard line to play with, and largely subjective outside of whatever artist intention might be. Personally, while obviously intending "Nyaight of the Living Cat" to be absurd, and some scenes overwhelmingly cute and cheesy, it's honestly proved to me that I will feel some level of anxiety so long as each horror point is hit right, and I'm left a lil disappointed in myself for that... Also, I'm with other people here where this concept really seems like something best suited for an OVA, or a movie maybe. A TV series? Even for a smaller 12-episode season, I agree that I can see the gag stretched very thin. That being said, a 12-episode season is also short enough for me to want to stick it out, most likely. Plus, the source material appears to still be publishing, so apparently there must be some overarching plot in mind?! Not that I know what that could be, to keep us engaged for however long that will end up being. Also: @popa910 not sure what tech issue this is? I watched this on Crunchyroll on TV through a Roku, and don't think I had any lighting issues. Might be your set-up, unless more people can confirm |
