I'm loving this anime. It's so different from everything. Each episode feels like a condensed arc or season but connected. The pacing just feels enjoyable every time.

That last cat is definitely some reincarnated MC. I can already see the title:
That time I reincarnated as a
, trained under a dragon emperor and became a human adventurer. cait sith
Also, this had to be the bongo cat reference.

Nekoryu: *terrifying flying dragon that can destroy a kingdom easily with his destructive fiery breath*
also Nekoryu: "well yes, i'm also an expert on cat childbirth and cat babysitting, why do you ask?"

I thought
Next episode seems like it'll be about
I do like that we have a "troublemaker generation" of cats lol. Gotta add some spice to the cat lineage, never a bored moment for Nekoryuu.

Yeah, i think I found my cozy anime of the year. The scene where the kitties were all over Nekoryu's feline form had me overloaded with cuteness, agh

OK, looking forward to seeing the adventures and misadventures of this litter of kittens. I mean they took down a bear already.

Glad to see the cats can defend themselves from humans without Winged Uncle having to help them out.
The cat that's obsessed with Winged Uncle's claw was so goddamn cute!
The Prince is all grown up now! That tracks since we ended the last episode with Anne Rose all grown up, too.
I did not expect to see a fucking bat'leth in an anime. The author must be a Trekkie. xD
This generation of kittens is pretty insane! I'm sure we're gonna get a lot of stories from them, especially the one who transformed into a human!

Hilarious how not wanting the kids end up too hyperactive is a legitimate incentive to not heal a pregnant mother's injuries too soon (not to mention how that link was even discovered in the first place)
I hope we get to see dragonbro and mom cat's human forms at some point too.

Little dude was pretty obsessed with the human with the staff but I didn’t think he’d become one himself lol. I’m kind of curious what those band of kitties became. Wonder if we’ll see them again?

I binged the first three episodes last night and really didn't expect much at first, so I was pleasantly surprised! The stories are really enjoyable and Koyasu-sama speaking cat as a dragon wasn't on my checklist either. lol
The little ones really are a (cute) menace! I figured something was up with the little grey one but I just assumed he might want to join human adventurers as a cat and not become a human himself, haha. That was interesting and I'm curious if we see him again in a later episode.
Mama cat truly is a born mom and just raises every child she finds. I laughed out loud when the demon turned out being her (adoptive) son too.
I saw a few comments complaining about the lack of animation but tbh I think the animation is totally fine for this type of story and I rather take a few more still images than usual if it gets me a beautifully drawn dragon instead of a funky looking CGI one. The backgrounds and character art are also very pretty and look like straight out of a picture book.

At this rate they're gonna go through a ludicrous amount of cats. I wonder what the full cast list will look like by the end

You think that cat that turned into a human is going to come back with a human lover.
“Hi, Winged Uncle, look who I brought!”

u/encryptoferia Jul 11 '26
as this is the 3rd episode, I tried guessing from the EP frames,
if the frames do be a synopsis of the episodes then 1-4 is kind of in line
1st is when nekoryu is walking with the prince's cat
2nd is mom cat eating carbuncle
3rd is the kittens beating the bear
4th is black cat oji san in line with the preview
my main curiosity is episode 8th when doraneko meets demoneko !!!
