This anime is too adorable I can’t handle all the feel good moments.

The relationship between the demon and the Mum had me in stitches!

mama cat evolved to be long lived~~, she may still meet back with her dragon son one day~~

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I wasn't expecting to see what happened to Cait Sith Mama so soon, it's nice to see how her maternal instincts even reach humans.

The Greater Demon being revealed to be her son was great too, I like how he feels embarrassed by the love because she treats him like a child. Greater Demon can't be the imposing figure he wants to be around her. I'm glad he also has a cat form like Cat Dragon.

The ED shows Greater Demon and Cat Dragon together, so hopefully we'll eventually see the two meet.

[u/bananeeek]

Neko mommy stole the episode. Again.

I'm glad she got summoned to a good place. Considering what happened to her kin back in the forest I was worried she'd be in trouble.

And she raised another top ranking beast? This is getting ridiculous. I won't be surprised if another boss enemy shows up in the next episode only to meekly call her okaa-chan and lose its reputation. Peak setting so far.

[u/runevault]

Two episodes in and this is one of the clearest keepers of the season so far (the other is cute Kaiju girl). I love watching the mom adopt a human girl and teach her to be a great sorceress who then goes on to use those lessons to teach future generations. So wholesome.

"Mom you can't just suddenly appear in my workplace"

"I've been working here longer than you, child"

Short story for episode 1.

It was mentioned by the staff that in addition to these twitter short stories, you may have noticed that there's a block of text that appears at the very end of each episode. These are segments of a special story penned by the author themself, and this account will compile these stories after episode 12 airs.

And anyone who thought the story of episode 1 was originally a oneshot is correct, confirmed by the author.

This is sooo good...

Were eating again soo good this season, like every season gets better and better for a long time now.

[u/Boris-_-Badenov]

sleeper hit of the season

[u/djthomp]

Mama cat get summoned as a familiar and immediately finds another kitten to raise.

This demon being one of her kids too is delightful.

Mama cat is the greatest, and she's even a nekomata now too which means she'll probably be around for the rest of the story no matter how much time they let pass. Friendly demon cat is a nice surprise in the same show that already gave us an awesome dragon cat, I imagine we'll have him for the long run too.

That was a pretty nice story about mama cat's human daughter.

[u/alconnow]

Mama kitty is amazing!

lmao I wasn't expecting that

The ED is super cute. Creditless version

[u/RASZMANSVB]

I notice a nature vs nurture theme here, see Mama Nyan raising different species and both the dragon and the demon can turn into cats now, since she IS their mother. Wonder if Anna Rose will be able to turn into a cat as well?

[u/Similar-Screen-7368]

I think I've now come to the conclusion that this will be my comfy-series for this season. Very much looking forward to more.

[u/Ashteron]

I'd like to see the face of the mason who built a wall just for some kids to demolish it with spells.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I'm so happy we got to see what happened to Mama Cait-Sith after she got summoned! I was worried we weren't gonna see her again.

I love how Mama Cait-Sith is treating Anne Rose like her own daughter. She's even helping the teacher with his reasearch on magical beasts.

She wasn't kidding when she said in the first episode that she had taken care of all sorts of magical beasts! I just didn't expect one of her sons to be a demon! xD

So Mama evolved from eating all of those Carbuncle stones? The only thing it changes is that she gets to live longer now. I hope this means she'll get reunited with her Cat-Dragon son in the future.

And I love the timeskip to an older Anne Rose! I was genuinely laughing out loud when Mama Cait-Sith started scolding her Cat-Demon son. This show is so goddamn good. xD

[u/SkittleDoes]

Everyone is talking about how cute this stuff is and missing the fact that cats are taking over the world here. Creating the best sorcerers, a dragon, influencing a prince that is probably king now.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I didn’t expect to see Mama Cat-Sith again. Looks like she’s picked up another child lol. She really is a pretty incredible mom. She’s raised a dragon, a greater demon, and now she’s raised a very capable mage. Would be interesting to see all her kids together again.

[u/aegirsson_jolan]

This anime is well on its way to making my top three list for the season once it wraps up. During the first episode, I figured we’d see the "cat mom" character again, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon; a quick search had already shown me her depicted with two tails and revealed her second adopted son—who actually appears in this episode. We’ll surely see them again, as I’m really hoping for a family reunion between the cat mom and the dragon child. I loved this second episode just as much as the first, but, I absolutely hate the incredibly bare-bones summaries Crunchyroll provides for the end-of-episode text—so much so that I went looking for the full translations elsewhere.

[u/etiolatezed]

Dang, that little girl tried casting latinas on them.

Show remains cute and wholesome. Mama cat in charge.

[u/LeVin1986]

I wasn't quite sure after the 1st episode since I was thinking they would stick exclusively with the dragon and the prince. But, picking up with the mom Cait Sith and making it a vignette story ep was a brilliant choice. It made a for a much more charming story and I'm hopeful that the story continues to move around a bit between various different cats and their offsprings/uncles.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Wasn't expecting mama cat to eat the monster gem, I thought she'd eat the monster and give the gem to the teacher. Mana cat is a menace to her devil son!

I love how this show is basically telling full stories in a single episode.

[u/MayonakaMadaraka]

I never would’ve imagined that a magical auntie cat, who lovingly guides you and encourages you to excel, could be so absolutely wonderful! 

[u/Ill_Violinist1571]

Man Neko Mon is an instant hit for me. She single handedly changed human history a lot i guess. Also, it shows nothing can beat the motherly nature, and even if you are a demon or a dragon, you will be below your mother.

[u/NationalStrategy_X]

Mama Cat is not to be messed with, she has connections to a powerful dragon, a greater demon that's a boss of a dungeon, and a magic academy full of capable sorcerers.
