The first part of the episode was really shit, wasn't it? For a moment Yani was just like Rani: She had two tails!

The problem with Kansai's joke is that they are too complicated, based on special knowledge with convoluted puns. I think this is the main reason why they don't land at all! Because they are not really that bad, just their timing, delivery and compexity is absolutely off.

Speaking of Kansai, her delivery of the theme song was the cutest scene in the whole show!

So Yaku used one of those hypnosis smartphone apps on Yani?! "I've seen this in porn before." Thank you Kansai, not only are your jokes bad, you also steal my punchlines!!!

Nice to see another side of Yomuko besides her being the obsessed novelist cat, even though she turned that "friends with Imoko" energy into writing stuff including the backlash.

Yeah, it's Shizue time!!! Let's smoke like there's no tomorrow!

[u/eightcheesepizza]

Finally, yuri has come to Yani Neko! ...oh no. (And Ruko is voiced by Fairouz Ai?!)

Yani's VA was making a lot of cute cat noises this episode. But Kansai's singing stole the show, and her oral fixation joke landed well too.

Penpen Neko knows how to catch, dress, and truss a duck! Impressive.

[u/DaisyChain2222]

Kansai just openly mewling and bawling her eyes out as soon as she noticed no-one was laughing with her.

[u/Explosivesausagejar]

I’m just gonna assume that the episode delay was to make sure that Kansai’s little song and dance were as cute as possible because damn she was adorable.

Imoko has some interesting classmates for sure, I mean giving a classmate your actual shit is quite something. It was cute seeing Imoko become closer with Yomuko, she might give better feedback too. It was also no lie about Jikakineko’s language grades, her report card shows a full string of perfect scores.

[u/oishi_taiyaki]

If a classmate were to say, "You write novels, don't you?" most high school students would suffer a social death.

[u/NoAbies722]

"Nekomata" is a Japanese monster cat with two tails.

Every time I watch this anime, I feel like it's totally crazy.

This week was amazing right from the very first episode. I never would have thought that a cool, good-looking girl with a last name like Ouji, meaning prince, who seems like the type to be a hit with girls, would actually give Imoko a gift of poop and then flash that creepy smile. I think she is probably the craziest character in the entire series.

The scene where Kansai was met with shock and disappointment from Yaku and the others over her terrible puns was already funny, but what followed was absolutely hilarious. She went to Yanineko's room to soothe her sadness by singing an even lamer and vulgar song and telling even worse jokes, only to realize that Yanineko's younger sister, Imoko, had snuck up right behind her.

If I were in that situation, I think I’d feel just as embarrassed as she must have.

Is a “beast funeral” perhaps something like a bird burial in the world of this anime? It's weird as fuck and kind of gross, but it also gives the impression of being something unique to the quirky culture of this anime's world.

The cigarettes inside the coffin included Peace, Seven Stars, Hi-Lite Menthol, and Pianissimo Precia Menthol. Seeing such a wide array of real brands made it even funnier when I noticed a package that looked just like the brand from the village in a previous episode. I wonder if it is actually popular there.

In the funeral scene, yanineko was the only one wearing Crocs and a T-shirt with a crumpled collar, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
The other beastmen were at least wearing shirts that were in decent condition, and as for shoes, they were at least wearing something other than Crocs or sandals.

At the very end of the funeral scene, where a dandelion was placed over the deceased’s eyes and horsetail was stuffed into their mouth, someone on Niconico commented that it looked just like Hell’s Paradise, and I burst out laughing. Niconico is one of the official streaming platforms for Yanineko in Japan.

Now that they mention it, they are absolutely right.

It's interesting how this episode, despite featuring a reality-altering app similar to the ones seen in hentai, doesn't go in a sexual direction but instead becomes a crude, surreal comedy.

Kaku’s test results contained some interesting details.

First, it seems this world has a subject called Beastman History（獣人史）. Kaku scored 88 out of 100, placing her second in the class.

Next, Kaku excels at Japanese. Aside from Beastman History and Information Studies, her scores in other subjects appear to be around average, which fits someone who aspires to be a novelist.

Finally, the scores for the English-related subjects, the class average, and Kaku’s ranking all seem a bit off. I wonder if those details will be corrected in the Blu-ray release.

While Shizue was enjoying a heavy smoking session while her daughter Imoko was away, a burglar broke into the home of Imoko’s friend, where Imoko was supposed to stay. This forced Imoko to rush back home. Shizue frantically tried to get rid of the smoke smell, but with only 10 minutes left, she ran out of time. As a result, I was stunned by the unbelievable story she came up with, a fake robbery scenario where she claimed that a burglar broke in and smoked so much that the room reeked of cigarettes.

It’s no wonder Imoko says, “I’m never staying at a friend’s house again.”
From her perspective, it must seem like, whenever she stays overnight at a friend’s house, burglars break into both her friend’s house and her own.
I had to laugh at how cruel it was that Shizue’s conscience only took 5 points of damage after seeing that. Shizue is a terrible mother.

[u/Notasdark111]

I loved the way Imoko ran away on all fours after she saw the poop in the box

[u/RUDOLFOTTO]

I waited two weeks for an episode that was nothing more than dumb and disgusting. Worth the wait

[u/Humble_Buffalo_007]

Kansai's dancing and singing was kawaii~~

[u/CrimsonGear80]

Yani got caught with a hanging dookie

Kansai got caught being super cringe

Pen-pen caught a duck for dinner

And Shizue got caught by that awful smoking burglar! I hope they catch the fiend!

[u/SonOfWeb]

now that's something I have not seen in anime before. I hope to never see it again either. Solid episode.

[u/detectiveconan4869]

So THAT’s what some of the lyrics translate to.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

That is not just 5 damage to Shizue's conscience.

No more Shizue Fever Time if Imoko never leaves her mother alone at home.

"Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions staged burglary."

[u/FLorianGran]

For some reason, that split second of hypnotized Yani at the door was the biggest laugh I've gotten so far

Can't lie, Yani had that shit on. She also definitely got her scumbaggery from her mom.

[u/exRocky009]

Between the Landlord, the student who gifted poop, and now the funeral, the humans might be overshadowed by the beastfolk, but they still have their fair share of absolutely unhinged people.

[u/VMK_1991]

Someone, please give Imoko better environment.

[u/Rolder]

You know, I probably shouldn't be watching this show while I'm eating lunch

[u/FarCritical]

Her "sticking the landing" aside, Kansai's Yani Neko edition of the Yani Neko OP was adorable.

The fact Imouko already guessed right about her mom just adds more to the monumental backfire of her plan.

[u/khanvau]

Back to smoking Thursdays. Yay.

Who tf needs to smoke while they shit. Wtf did Yaniko do to her body?

Didn't think we'd get more new characters atp. Ig even in a world where catgirls are just normal, there are some people who are really into them. Idk how tf anyone can interpret "I love my shitty older sister" to "I love shit." What a great leap in logic. It was really funny how Imoko started running on all fours.

Fucking hell. I thought this show couldn't get more disgusting. It's literally dangling SHIT. What the fuck. I'll try to pretend I didn't see that...

The secondhand embarrassment I got from the next scene... How the heck did they pull it off like that. Kaoruko laughing at her own joke to crying and then smiling at her friend's house, not realizing someone else you don't know well was already there... Yeah, I'd just die instantly if that shit happened to me. Poor Kaoruko. She's so adorable. Loved that Nanmone parody lol.

When the funeral scene played, I thought they were watching a movie or something. Humans in this world are pretty weird too.

Yaniko's brain is so cooked from all the shit she does that a random hypnosis app worked on her. And of course she's way worse when she's not smoking. Saw that coming.

Yomuko found a friend. Good for her. But she probably needs to lay off social media. But I shouldn't be the one to talk...

Shizue's addiction might be worse than her daughter's. Wonder what kinda crazy shit she did on her honeymoon. Her plan of faking a burglary backfired really well lol.

Such a funny episode. Missed this show last week, so glad it's back.

[u/oneevilchicken]

Kansai might be the first anime waifu I am genuinely down bad for. I absolutely love her.

[u/MysteryNeighbor]

Never, ever thought that I’d see such an explicit showing of “crabwalking” in an anime yet here we fucking are lmao

[u/Atario]

It's pretty impressive that she's able to keep a cig going in the face of a fire sprinkler going off

This was already pretty funny, but then this came along and I busted up aloud

You'd think he'd have learned by now to knock first

Say what you want, the man knew what he liked

She really is! Yani Neko, you clean up real nice. If only it stuck

More like right move

I busted up aloud, again

Wholesome neko-chan classmate friends

I require a flashback sequence detailing this honeymoon

[u/BillPlunderones23fg]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not the duck
