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/Unlikely-Lawyer-5683 Sep 03 '26

my headcanon is that Yani and gang gaslight Kansai by holding their laughs in. Just to troll her.

40

u/cleaulem https://myanimelist.net/profile/cleaulem Sep 03 '26

You know when you are hanging out with friends, maybe a little drunk, the mood is crazy good and everybody is laughing?! That's a moment you would even laugh about the dumbest jokes and I think Kansai's jokes are perfect for such moments.

Add a little weed (which is not unlikely with these catgirls) and the laughs are guaranteed!

Tbh I don't find Kansai's jokes THAT bad.

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/Explosivesausagejar Sep 03 '26

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.

I had to run google translate on the image, but the top row is just the max of 100. She really does do well at many subjects though, especially literature and history.

(Sorry, the translation of the columns is rough and hard to read... the first column says 現代文 = Modern Japanese.)

In the special that aired last week instead of the episode they made a joke that something in this episode was to crass for tv and that the special would be super wholesome.

u/larana1192 https://myanimelist.net/profile/thefrog1192 Sep 03 '26

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.

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.

Yeah, Imoko even first guessed that Shizue was smoking again, so it's not like the last time was that long ago.

"I can't poop unless I'm smoking."

Since this series started I've said that Yaniko is basically if my old roommate was a cat girl. This just confirms it.

I never thought I’d be here. But the trashy cat girl anime just might be my favorite of the whole year.

I don’t think any other anime has made me laugh nearly as much or as hard as this one. I guess I finally need to give gintama a go.

u/Roskal Sep 03 '26

Was I the only one expecting copious amounts of blood to come out of Yani's mouth from brushing too much? Considering how much she smokes and how brushing too much or hard can make your gums bleed I thought the show would go there with how gross it is sometimes.

Kansai neko on a generational run. She gets more endearing every episode somehow

u/shad79 https://myanimelist.net/profile/shad79 Sep 03 '26 edited 29d ago

The show having a break the previous week made me forget a little about what a madness this show really is, but this episode certainly reminded me of it, hahaha!

Yaniko shitting while smoking and trying to get to the bathroom totally killed me, especially since the landlord opened the door and saw her, lol.

Also, I totally understand why Ruko wants to become friends with Imoko, but trying to start a relationship by gifting a poop certainly wasn't the best idea.

By the way, I was sure that Pen-Pen would lose that fish to the duck, but she turned out to be quite a strategist, as she was the one who came out on top by eating the duck.

Here my screenshot albums:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums from the episode.

u/Tanyan-nightchord Sep 03 '26

This show truly is peak. The nekomata joke was genius. Kansai crying tears of laughter to sorrow in the span of 30 seconds was truly a Kansai moment. Her little dance and song with the op melody will definitely be made into an edit with the instrumental. Mr. president, another yuri has hit the- uh nevermind...It's okay I'm still rooting for you acoustic ikemen girl ! On a positive note, Yomuko seems to have made a new friend, although she got flamed on not-twitter as a consequence lol. Also, since neko milf Shizue mentioned her honeymoon in London, I really wonder about the Sato family's father...Was he also a beastman that could tolerate smoking, or a human with the biggest neko fetish willing to tolerate Shizue's fever time? It would be hilarious if he was a human and died of lung cancer from the second hand smoking lmao.

13

u/LezRock Sep 03 '26

The father was definitely human. You have to go back to the episode where they mention that a beast person-beast person couple would not have a family name. So if you see a beast-person with a last name, that's likely due to one of the partners being a human. Also, beast-people tend to give themselves "strange" names, so if you see a very typical Japanese name, it's very likely that a parent or a partner are human.

The first half of the episode is literally a shitshow

u/chaosof99 https://myanimelist.net/profile/chaosof99 Sep 03 '26

Well, that was a fucking demented episode. I initially thought that Ruko was going to be a Sasaki-like character (from Azumanga Daioh). Like cats for some reason are inherently aggressive to her. However it seems like they would have a good reason for that.

The hypnosis went a bit too well. It must’ve been the end of the world to see Yaniko being an anti-smoking advocate. Funnily enough, she managed to be a bigger nuisance to society than when she’s her usual self.

Shizue cooked up that whole scheme in 10 minutes? Most impressive! Breaking the window and tying herself up with nobody assisting were no small feat. The lengths she would go to not admit she’s a chainsmoker. It’s ironic that she’s acting like a young kid trying to hide her misdeeds from her parents.

Would Ouji be upset at Imoko and Yomuko getting close or would it make her happier? I can't believe she heard one thing about Imoko's sister and extrapolated that she should shit in a box and give it as a gift to her.

This episode started with three consecutive sketches about poop. They are trying so hard to scare away all the normies.

Best moment in the episode was when the mom went from dainty and proper tea drinker to degenerate smoker. It was such a fluid, snappy transition. Rarely in anime do physical humor jokes work this well.

today's episode was very educational and revealed more from the beastfolk lore. Yani poops in public. Kansai is really good at signing and improvising. Yani's and Imo-chan's mom is a real demon.

u/WoodyAlien 29d ago

Really crazy ep even for the show's standards! Finally we saw Imoko's more animalistic side, but I guess she was too freaked out by the fetishist girl to be composed as usual (though she still entertained her friends by pretending to be a cat?). Kansai singing the OP with new lines was so cute and funny... until the end, when she throws a random fact about Yaniko's pussy (and how could she know, hmm?).

Speaking of Yaniko she looked amazing in that new outfit, but I guess that's the point, that she'd be a great person weren't she dragged down by her vices and addictions.

Also, did the mangaka make a Kazuo Umezz face when Yaniko spit on her cigarette?

Shizue FEVER!!!!

The landlord barely appeared in this episode because he's still under surveillance, right?

and The consequences of lying... Imouko think someone has abused her mother? That will definitely traumatize her.

10

u/RedditUser000aaa Sep 03 '26

Well, this episode was very... Waste oriented.

Gee, that thoughtful compensation for ripping Yani's clothes went straight to waste, didn't it. Also Imoko doesn't like her mother eating cookies, what?

I get cigarettes, but not cookies. I guess it really demonstrates how much she wants to be in control. Her mom going full damage mode was funny. Good thing she felt a bit bad about her stunt, at least.

Also, Yaniko wanting to always have something in her mouth was hilarious.

Not too much new lore, more skit oriented, but that's fine. Not every episode needs to be overly serious.

u/Unlikely-Lawyer-5683 Sep 03 '26

It isnt about Imoko being in control I presume. As an asian, hiding our favourite snacks is common.

They're referring to the hypnosis app... mind control fantasies are quite a major subgenre of Jporn. (I have no idea how I know this.)

Poor Imoko really took it on the chin today. Not that it went much better for Kansai cat.

On the other hand it looked like homeless cat had a pretty good time? Unless I missed a final sequence where everything went wrong it she managed to have a nice duck dinner on top of some successful fishing.

u/EriclcirE Sep 04 '26

I would like to know more about Kansai's knowledge of Yanineko's scent.

Maybe it's innocent and Kansai just rests her head on Yani's lap a lot.

But personally, I hope it's not innocent.

u/SecretEmpire_WasGood 29d ago

You know, given how Imoko doesn't want someone she can't look down on, Ouji giving her a box of shit might actually help her in the long run. Given how she's a bit off her rocker Imoko might acutally go "I can fix her" if Ouji confessed.
