There are so many holes in the material, one has to just ignore them and move on.
The hero is a 16 year old boy, living on his own, in his own house - well there are no sign of parents - and all his friends just happen o be super-spies for illegal top secret organizations.
The cat alients not only ave cat ears and a tail bit also human ears, only two breasts (cats have 8 by the way) and apart from the ears and tail, have no other cat like features.
Also, cats are an interesting species as they have the least diversity of any species. Apart from colouring, they are all pretty much the same.
The anti-heroes, based on dogs - a very widely diversely shaped species, also look the same apart from the 2nd pair of ears.
These blatant incongruities do not bely the fact, it is a charming story.

The main plot, common in japanese anime, is the awaking of children to the larger and seemingly overbearing adult world.
In the first episode, the young lad, as innocent and niave as only a cartooon character can be, takes a sip of beer and instantly falls unconscous. Rediculous? Only if you don't see this as a metaphor of entering the complex world of grown ups.

The plot in a nutshell is a race of fun loving cat based aliens come to earth to have fun and discover they can not, because their enermies, in the classic shape of dogs, got their first, marked heir territory and are doing unspeakable things - why is never made clever, nor does it need to be.

The story is a metaphor for growing up and realising the world does not rotate around you any more, fun is not the only reason to exist and immaterial of what you try to do, the world is busy doing something else and you have to fall into place or get burnt.

There are lots of homage to other cartoons and general Sci-Fi genre's. Mutley makes an appearance but is more dark than the original self-centered WB character. The assistaroids are cute and fun and often do their best to steal the scene; many of their antics are reminisent of Woody Allen or the B&W slapstick films of old.

I was waiting for "Sorry, Elis... I can't do that..." but luckily, that clique was avoided.

Each episode is half an hour of cute fun and just like real life, without really noticing, things get dark, complex and hard for the heroes. They have to grow up and deal with the numerous crisies that pop up before they are ready, leaving their micro-problems til they can catch their breath.

This series is quite deep if you look hard but also, just * darn it! * jolly good fun. (show less)

Just finished watching this series and while it was a good watch I just wish it had wrapped things up a bit better at the end. Granted it is a short series so not a lot can happen in just 12 eps but still it's one of the typical endings that are kind of left open for the viewer to decide...

As another reviewer mentioned, the animation is fantastic - bordering on CGI in several scenes. Also, the music is GREAT! I downloaded all the opening and ending themes (except the Spaceman ending).

I'm surprised the synopsis doesn't include 'ecchi' in the description as it has borderline nudity (hazy of course) and definite sexual situations involving 16 yo's! But what else would you expect from catgirls? :P

The main element that kept me watching was the rivalry between the 3 lead female characters. Of course they are all somehow attracted to the nerdy, average looking hero of the series (go figure). I will give Kio props for being somewhat braver and more assertive than a lot of the nerdy, average looking heroes that populate these semi-harem anime.

All in all, a fun series with plenty of fanservice (especially early on) although for as short a series as this was it still basically had what amounted to a 'filler' episode which was a bit frustrating as they could've used more character development in the relationship area.. ah well.

Watch it you'll like it... (show less)

Just finish watching the last epi, and i think the exact same thing as when i start watching th 1st epi..."Didn't they advance in this story way~ too quickly?!?" 0.o
What i mean is that this is a good anime, and i also enjoy the story somewhat...but they just Rush Over too much! Not only in the story but also with the characters. Some of the characters have an important role in the events, but you don't even know their story...its almost lucky if you know their names -.-'
This is a very big flaw in my opinion, but it's really common in those animes that only had 12 epi +/-...a lot is left untold :s

Anyway i would like to see a 2nd season...i didn't find any manga, but i hope they continue the story ;)
PS: WTF?!? POLYGAMY!!!!...lucky Kio bastard xD (show less)
