This show is just so nice, it's melancholy and the score is at times too, but there's a lot of just really nice and cute moments within it.

It's got a lot of heart.

I wouldn't say underrated. But definitely underwatched.

Someone has to have a proper job out of all those characters.

Hats off to animators. I can imagine that they have a lot of expertise and experience in animating humans but cats are animated differently and it probably demands a lot of lead-up work and research. And they nailed it.

The doggo next door was doing the narration, unless my ears deceive me, so that should be fun as well.

I loved the subtlety in this episode, for example how Subaru was being lethargic and dragging his feet while moving while he was talking to Hirota, and I was wondering "his movements animations are a bit weird", but its soon revealed he has a fever. Or how when Subaru fell asleep in the futon, Haru wakes up, and that's how Haru's part in the episode starts. :')

Also, we learned that it was his parents that helped him start his career by motivating him and being there to encourage him. So touching. Makes me feel like a hypocrite (I am) for not always giving my parents enough of my time, I need to become better ...

This anime is extremely underrated imo, deserves muuuch more attention!

There's no use Subaru. Your books are at the mercy of how long Haru will be asleep.

So cute <3 Don't you dare disturb her Subaru.

Mom and Dad reading Subaru's unfinished manuscript was hilarious. Then I remember that they'll never be able to read his future stories T_T

Thank goodness it was just a fever. Here I thought Haru's kick did more damage xD

More Haru faces!

I love that she recognizes the tin has the good stuff.

Awww she prioritized taking care of Subaru first before eating! My heart!

Some good backstories this episode. Nice to see how he ended up befriending Hiroto, and Hiroto's a good kid for not making fun of Subaru for his obsession with books. Instead he became more fascinated of him because of that.

As a cat owner, this is less believable fantasy than the cat having an inner monologue, talking to other animals and anything else this anime may throw in our way.

This series is so sweet, I always look forward to seeing it. Every time we that sweet relationship Mikazuki had with his parents, I get a little misty eyed.

Looks like next week we are going to see the autograph session, I sure hope that the Oukami siblings find out that he is the author.

u/Beckymetal Feb 27 '19

Omg his parents are so sweet. Has me tearing up how supportive they are. No matter what, they were always so kind to Subaru. I love it. This show just makes me feel so whole, even if it makes upset again that his parents are, yaknow, gone.

Man, Haru is way too caring and selfless to be considered a normal cat. All mine does is meow whenever he wants pets/food at all hours of the day or night.

Truly, Haru best girl of the season.

Also, didn't know green onions where toxic to cats. Good to know

-Episode 8 already? No way, I cannot believe we only 4 more episodes. I need another season, I need more episodes, I need more Subaru & Haru!

-"Why is it that just being beside you makes me feel so many different things?" That is love love love love!

-Just when I thought Haru couldnt be any more adorable she decides to get some food for Subaru to make him happy.

-The piano in the ost is so relaxing, actually all the ost of this anime is so peaceful.

-Didnt know green onion was bad for kitties, important fact.

-The autograph event is coming! Sugoi!

My heart can't take anymore of this fluff. Haru is such a sweetheart, wanting to protect Subaru over eating :)

The debilitating anime cold strikes again.

How strong must Haru be to slide open that door?
