Title: The Capable Cat is Melancholic Today
Personal Rating:
- Plot: 7.0
- Animation: 7.0
- Overall: 7.0
The whole story mainly tells about the female protagonist finding and adopting a stray cat in winter. The female protagonist herself is not very capable of taking care of herself, whether it's clothing, food, housing, or transportation. Surprisingly, the stray cat she picked up turned out to be very big, bigger than the average person, and was able to skillfully take care of household chores, cooking, and laundry for the female protagonist...
The main storyline of the whole story is a bit cliché, it is a story that everyone is familiar with, rescuing an animal and then being repaid. If it were only this, then this anime would only receive a score of 5. So this story takes a different approach and does not make this cat the female protagonist's boyfriend or husband. To some extent, the role of Yuki (the cat) is that of a pet. It's just that the roles of this pet and the owner have been reversed, somewhat like a "cat that takes care of humans"?
The concept of a "cat that takes care of humans" is very creative. On the one hand, even if many people have pets, they occasionally find the job of being a "pooper scooper" troublesome. This concept solves this problem well: this cat can take care of everything by itself. On the other hand, many young people nowadays are single and keep small pets to pass the time, but some of them are unable to take care of themselves. This concept satisfies the needs of these young people: they can have a companion and also take care of themselves at the same time.
An excellent film or television work must reflect the current situation or meet the needs of real life, or satisfy people's fantasies of an ideal life... Only in this way can film and television works attract people.
