----------------------------------------
While this episode had more human dialogues, I still liked the fact that it gave an insight about the cat's family. Really liked how close the family is close with everyone including the cat.

7/10. I wish this show was longer ;_;

Through the cat, the mother and daughter got a chance to face to face to talk. It's gone, though.

After one year, and she got over so she is ready to find the job. She also got another cat.

Miu's having her long hair again. Aww Daru, you bad cat of course it make Miu's mother panic to get a call in the midnight with no response at all.
And she find a new cat at the same place where she intend to throw away Daru in the past.

It was really sad to see Daru die but the way it happened was nothing short of heartwarming

That cat was truly something special and it made me happy to see him help reunite mother and daughter and push her onto the path of moving on with her life - So happy for her

And that ending was just beautiful and it made me so happy smile so much :''") Welcome back Daru

I had a feeling the cat would die from the beginning, but I hoped it was just a bad hunch. Still, I really loved the way they ended it. It went from heartbreaking to heartwarming too fast to let me recover, so I just bawled my eyes out all conflicted xD

Last episode made me like this at least twice as much than I already did.

Which was....? Oh wait, I almost forgot that your OPs are always just a bunch of words strung together that mean nothing. Silly me.

I liked the fact that there was no mention of Daru's passing and rebirth in your post, despite that being the main focus of the episode.



As for me, I really liked the way Daru's passing was handled. Sure it was obvious that he was going to die at the end, but by portraying it as a long journey ending in reincarnation (as a white cat, which I thought was amusing), it not only softened the blow but also connected Daru and Miyu's story to the rest of the world.

As a lifetime cat lover, I couldn't give this anything less than a 9.
You've come a long way, baby.

I really love this kind of stories. Though I feared this outcome since the beginning, the ending struck me more than I expected.
Plus, my 15-years-old cat died few days ago, so this episode was a huge low blow.

2. This series happens to be a prequel to Shinkai's OVA.

I really enjoyed how in these brief four episodes it painted such a complete picture of her life and his love, and vice versa. That connection with the sound of the train was so nice.

Even with all the feelings what I thought was, oh no, white cat hair all over her outfit. She gets to have the reverse problem now, since he was black before and got to get pet hair all over light clothing. :P

Really nothing wrong here. For a 4 episode short this was very heart warming. My expectations given the format were met and faith in the director still holds strong.

Loved everything about this short!

The perspective of the Daru and how he saw things and comprehended them. His backstory and how he helped bring together the people he loved!

Overall 9/10!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

It was all ok, but then when she is in the bed and feels Daru, I CRIED A LOT. That scene has a lot of meaning for me bc I lived the same when my baby passed away.

A lot of feelings, AND THAT ENDING, omg, I couldn't stop tearing.

Got a bit teary eyed when the new cat was taken in by her, that was so sweet.

Crying so hard rn. We all knew it was coming, but it was still heartwrenching. I started crying when Daru was thinking of the girl and her mother's laughter, and how that's the sound he used to hear. I really liked the sentimental tone of the series, easily making me emotional. It's nice that it turned out to be a prequel for Shinkai's short, and not only that, Daru was reincarnated. Beautifully touching.

I thought the same too, it sure sounded like Shinkai to me, which would make sense since he voiced the cat in his short.

Oh man, goosebumps.

Daru has seen some highs and lows, and learns to love it all as his life fades. I would like to think Daru has reincarnated in the form of the white cat, maybe because of Young Kanojo's preconceived notion of "bad luck", but that's purely speculation.

I give this a Kanojo's New Job/10.
