Mixed Feelings
I came to this adaptation of one of Shinkai's early works (ie, 'She and Her Cat') after watching 'Your Name' and wanting to see the development of his career.

I enjoyed the premise of the anime: a brief moment of someone's life told through the eyes of a cat. The plot turned out to be better than I expected. Seeing the love and affection that Daru (the cat) has towards his owner, Kanojo, despite his ever-present confusion towards Kanojo's life is both admirable and inspiring. It shows that even as you go through some of the lowest points of your life, having someone special there for you can make so much more tolerable.

Yet, this premise limits much of the anime's potential. There was a prevailing feeling that something was missing and 3 months later when writing this, I still haven't figured out what. Unfortunately, for this reason, I can not rate it any higher than I have.
