----------------------------------------
That was nice, liked the visual quality of for a short. And the melancholic setting with the cat narrative is smooth too.

The most noticeable part is actually the music imo, just very consistent matching in tone with the storytelling so far about the lifestyle of a cat. The narrator did a good at portraying the character.

It was not a bad episode.

Too bad the roommate is leaving with her boyfriend. The girl and her cat starting their new life.

I quite like it, not only because of how nice it looks and the story but also because I have a black cat and the one in the show reminds me of him quite a bit.

That ED is really cute and heartwarming

Really nice first episode, great visuals and use of music and I like that the Neko also has POV too

I truly feel for the girl though since I've seen people with her problems before and I know that it's hard :( And the poor cat wants to help but he can't either TwT

This is like watching my life a few years ago. I ended up living alone with just my cat when I was the same age as the girl in this anime. It's very touching ♥

Aww man, that made me tear up a bit. Why is this only 4 episodes?

I'm starting to like shorts more than long running anime lately.

I found this similar to whole Illusionary world motive from Clannad. Their relationship is similar. Also poster is very similar to After Story's.
Looking forward for more episodes.

Great anime. Loved this episode. 5/5
It won me over in under 5 minutes. Amazing how quickly it made me care about the girl and the cat. Hang in there both of you!
Hits in dem feels. What this anime does in 7 minutes many fail to do in 12 or more episodes.

The perspective of the cat --the world outside the apartment, behind the heavy door is cruel one-- though, we as people have no choice but to face it to make livings.

Aah, beautiful start, I like how they portrayed those emotions very well, even in this small time given.

And HanaKana adds another level of greatness to this. Great short.

He is still involved as producer though. My guess he didn't want to do the same thing again but always wanted to bring more life to his story. I bet he shared his ideas with current director too.

It would have been better if the "cat" didn't blur the line between a passive observer in the story and a narrator for the audience, but it was a anime that tries to make you feel primarily, and just like many it felt the need to tell you how to feel at the right moment that it chooses.

Wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this shorts series, but it was a very good first episode that made my shed a few tears by the end. The main character's situation is really relatable to me atm, but it was heartwarming and touching to see the love Daru has for her, and to see that despite a bad day, she still gets up the next day and continues to learn to love the imperfect and a little cruel world that's on the other side of the heavy door. That was a great way to end the episode. Really enjoying the soft and calm atmosphere.

Cat can't do anything about her problems and can only be there, that has to count for something, hopefully it doesn't turn out to have a sad conclusion.

As someone who's been through that uncertain stage in life, I can totally reflect on my own experiences and relate to what the girl is going through. It's a shame I never had a cat to comfort me during those tough times....

7 short minutes and already I'm lovin' it.
