What in the honest fuck is going on anymore.

Where's the actual real plot?! or are these filler-type episodes going to continue until the end of the season?

I get your point. This anime is just guilty pleasure for me, even though I'm well aware that it's not a well made anime. I thought the premise and world-building was decent in the first two episodes, but then it seemed like as if the anime threw them in a garbage bag and continued with its silliness.


I think about this every week but I still keep watching it.

This show is pure, blatant fanservice and I love it for that. I mean, c'mon, an episode dedicated ENTIRELY to cat girl wish fulfillment?!?! THIS IS WHAT HEAVEN MUST BE LIKE!

Plus, it's world is genuinely creative. Moe with class, I say.

The show is kind of bad, but the ideas presented are really compelling. And that acid trip sequence in the mansion was probably one of the most beautifully animated things I've seen for an anime TV series outside of an OVA. The fairy character really makes me want to see a Berserk post-Golden Age OVA lmao.

This episode pretty much embodies why I have mixed feelings about KyoAni: guys that are fukken boss but would rather kill time making moe money.

This was probably the best episode of the season. I absolutely adored it! Crammed full of painfully moe kurumi, and painfully moe cat-ness...

Also me actually having a substantial understanding of quantum mechanics, i really like the play on the uncertainty principle. ("it's obviously impossible for the cat to be alive and dead at the same time," but we can't tell until we look, and by looking we change what's actually there.)

The hell was with Haruhiko's immunity to being catified, as far as the ears and tail went? Was it his sleeplessness that ultimately prevented him from transforming, or what?

Other than that, since I love cats I enjoyed seeing silly cat quirks everywhere. This show is such a random time waster, but it beats watching nothing.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure what the overarching story is supposed to be in this show... I guess the students are learning new things about phantoms each episode... meh.

The cat ears were cute to look at and the cat antics were fun to watch. I wish Haruhiko had gotten cat ears, though. Like how he had gotten bunny ears in episode 4. I also wanted the Schrodinger's theme to be better implemented.

Is this all filler? Because these past few episodes have been pretty Kurumi centered which is a filler character, so...... Like I still like the show sort of but this is just awful


A calm before the storm episode maybe. But the calmness is too much. Saw the volume 2 of light novel, it looks like a serious novel.

we all know the real answer to that question: because Kyoani knows their target audience. What they want to see is cute cat-ified girls, not a cat-ified MC no one gives a f about (even though Haruhiko is definitely a cutie if u ask me).

Besides moe glucose overload and too many screencaps for the day... some nice ideas presented in another psychedelic shrunk-the-kids candy-house (cat tower) Sony's Monster House styled mashup. The Mansion Phantom is Howl's Moving Castle on grandpa neko.
I already knew those ideas, but the Schrodinger explanation is the clearest I've seen, and well drawn. Superposition & effect of observation determining state was clear as well, especially the light trail inside Haruhiko's home was very cool.
As a coder, very glad John Von Neumann's mentioned not once but twice.
Neko+Kuma+Kurumi just too cute...
Nice ost in a few places, like 11:20. Gradual catifying well done & wasn't rushed even though everything resolved in 1 episode. Like how details are chained & explained, like Haru allnighter reading, hormones, Kurumi accent, and explains why him & a few don't catify. Then the group got trapped in the mansion turned schrodinger's box, showing some superposition.

random cat and the whale...

This had to be the first really great episode in the series, I kinda liked it. I guess it's partly due to the fact that whole group has their problems solved and they are together now.

Still, it felt like they are trying to copy Shaft style again. And when compared we know who does better.

Year, its very funny. I have to admit, the plot is eveything but superb and it would fale in almost any ordinary quality measure. But still I really do enjoy watching it and actually do think its made really good . Maybe its the KyoAni style of doing things.

Okay, so today I stumbled across this episode on accident. I was browsing Youtube, and the episode popped up in my Youtube suggestions (yes, the entire series is apparently on YT illegally, good job YT). After deciding why the hell not, I was treated to... something.

I love catgirls, and all other manner of kemonomimi. I love cute stuff. I love show premises like this one, with the phantoms causing problems and such. Despite all that, I wasn't super into this episode. The writing was poor, the characters acted like complete idiots for the first half of the episode, and there were various issues I had with it in general. First of all, the word cat was constantly said and this guy constantly deals with phantoms yet nobody even ONCE thought that it was a cat phantom until everyone got ears. Only an idiot would be that stupid.

Not to mention that the entire "twist" or "message" or whatever turned out to be the shittiest thing I've ever heard: the idea that if you believe hard enough, things can exist if they aren't being observed. Or at least I think that was it. You see, it's bad enough that it was a shit explanation, but I can't even remember or make sense of what the explanation was meant to BE.

Not only that, but the cat stuff is completely off. Sure, everyone acts like a cat and gets some new appendages. So what? It's IMPLIED that they'll eventually become full cats, but even that doesn't work as an explanation! "Oh no, this child is becoming a cat fast because she says cat puns now and sometimes says nyan." She doesn't even visually get worse over the course of the episode. Saying "nyan" more doesn't make it feel more urgent, it just makes it feel like they're trying way too hard to be moe. Make her visually turn more catty! Give the situation tension! I understand it's fan service, but an episode should NEVER be just about that, or it turns out as a bad episode.

In addition, the main character doesn't have much of a stake in things. Sure he maybe has an attachment to these females, but he himself doesn't seem to have consequences should he fail. He doesn't turn even remotely cattish... which brings me to my final gripe. They completely forget about the characters' becoming more catlike about halfway in. They exhibit almost no catlike traits once everyone gets ears and tail, compared to the first half where they acted like stereotypical cats the whole way through with only brief breaks (which is the part of the episode I actually kind of enjoyed and chuckled at a bit). It's like the writers forgot. Then, finally, they mention it again when they encounter the phantom ("I want to pounce..." or something) but by that point the episode is over already.

All in all, this episode pushed a lot of my buttons and I didn't really like it. I do like the premise of the show, however, so I might decide to watch episodes 1-6 and 8-13 eventually. After all, the comments here seem to indicate it's an anime-original episode and that the manga-based stuff is way better than this. But until then, this is going to be my impression of the series: badly written cat girls, and badly written plot twists.
