Chi's Sweet Home is not your typical run-of-the-mill anime. It is short and sweet.
There are about 104 episodes of pure love in the series, and even though the episodes are about 3 minutes long each in length, the series remains to be interesting with the short stories. Sometimes, it spans into a few episodes to create "story arcs" that equate to half a regular anime episode.
Chi's Sweet Home is about a little kitten named Chi (the circumstances of her naming is quite humorous), who gets lost from her mother, and is found by a family of 3. And that's when it all starts.
Since they are not allowed cats at their apartment, and they cannot just leave her outside, and they cannot seem to find anyone to take her, the humor starts with this crazy kitten, and trying to keep her secret.
This is for certain not deep or thought-provoking. It is a great little thing to watch if you want to watch something sweet. Or you feel a little down. It's hard to feel upset over a sweet little kitten.
Anywhoo... This is also great for young children. As long as they can read subtitles ok, or maybe not (sometimes it's funnier just watching Chi, and you needn't have words), this is great for them as well.
A very good anime you don't have to commit to, and watch at your leisure. Good for all ages.
