It's like having your heart wrapped in a fluffy blanket.
Cats have some sort of healing capabilities. Either by just being fluffy lumps of warmth that spread themselves on any available body part and suddenly become unmovable objects, by purring, or by just simply existing in the same space as you.
But what would happen if the cat would be the size of, say, a bear? And not just be large, but also pretty sentient and masterful — enough to deal with the household duties and make you wonderful dinners every day after you get home exhausted from work?
Sounds like a dream. And Saku Fukuzawa from The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today (Dekiru Neko Wa Kyou Mo Yuuutsu) lives that dream.
One winter she found a little black kitten under a park bench and decided to bring him home. She is, to put it simply, a pretty disorganized individual, one who prefers to live surrounded by garbage and gets home only to get some sleep and, maybe, have some cup noodles as dinner. But the kitten, being smart and grateful, decided to thank the human for saving him — and evolved into a huge behemoth with a little bit of a nagging side.
Kitten, called Yukichi, now towers over the human that adopted him, walks on two legs, makes delicious foods, cleans the house, does the grocery shopping, and nudges Saku to be a little bit less useless. The neighborhood knows him and likes him, though some people believe that he's just a human in a fursuit — and that poses some problems.
The anime is based on a 4-koma manga series by the same name and adapts various small stories in 13 episodes. Mostly it focuses on the daily life of Saku and Yukichi: how they live together, how they try to accommodate each other's needs and wants, but sometimes they have to go outside and meet other people.
There's a little bit of yuri bait and a little bit of straight romance hints, but overall the show is a slice-of-life about an office worker who lives a giant cat. And it's super cute. Saku tries to hide Yukichi's existence from the general public, including her coworkers and family, because a giant cat would surely raise questions. Yukichi himself is afraid to be caught, or, worse, mistaken as a bear and shot, so he sometimes dons funny disguises when he ventures to the outside world. It's a fun and incredibly wholesome story, one filled with nice animation, believable and loveable characters, and cohesive pacing.
It's the anime that would warm you up on a cold winter day, and maybe you'll even get some useful household tips from Yukichi: he's always ready to share.
