Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san

Now, I've been hearing a whole lot of people saying that anime shorts are becoming more and more popular in the anime industry, and this anime has finally led me to coincide this conclusion. Perhaps production costs to make 23 to 25 minute episodes for simplistic yon koma series like Yuyushiki just don't seem to make sense to the directors. Think about it--You can literally sum up this whole series in ONE episode if it were 24 minutes. So please think about that before writing off the series as terrible simply because the episodes are short. If you're looking for a heart warming series, you'lllike this.

If you're looking for a lighthearted, goofy, and all over entertaining anime, look no further. Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san is a about a girl who resembles a dog (and coincidentally loves cats) and a cat-like girl (who also-coincidentally-loves dogs). These two meet through a mutual friend, and thus begins our adventure. Each episode is about four minutes long, introducing a small conflict or setting, without getting into too much detail. I can't tell if there is really an overall story. Sure, each episode tells a different little story, but there's no real purpose to it except to make you laugh and squee at the cute yurimoments. It's a little bit impractical considering somehow each character is named after an animal, but it's fun and enjoyable this way. Also, this school is a literal farm crawling with attractive, flaming lesbians (sign me up). The constant introduction of new characters can get a bit annoying after a while and complicate the main characters' relationship. I'll give it a 5. Art is gorgeous and well animated. The characters are pretty and simple, just the style that's fitting for the story. The sound is very good. Voice acting is nice, the girls don't have annoying voices and the song at the end is worthy of singing along to each time. Art is a 9 and the sound is a 10. The characters are pretty stereotypical to the animals they represent. Through this, we could easily connect to the characters. This category definitely earned some bonus points by utilizing this although they had so short of a time to introduce the characters. I feel as though the story should have focused more on our main pair rather than continually introduce characters that had no real effect on the story. Good job, I'll give the characters a 7. I personally really enjoyed this anime. When you really analyze and rip it apart into these categories, yes, there are some mediocre points. But the purpose of the anime isn't to really make you think about all that. The purpose is to entertain with a good laugh, fun characters, cute relationships, and silly circumstances. It is a very good anime, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for these things. Overall: 8.

Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san is part of 2014's mass invasion of yuris, perhaps being the cheered champion of it. Each episode is three to four minutes long (+ opening & credits). The anime is about the a school were apparently only female students go and being homo is a given (you will never see a male in the show).Inugami is an airhead that acts and looks like a dog and nekoyama a cute loli that acts and looks like a cat. They also have a friend who plays the role of the straight man, whose name is... Eeeh... Unimportant. The anime is filled with (uninspired) cat& dog jokes, and the love quarells of all the couples there. (to Nekoyama's credit she is cute & likeable, unlike the rest of the cast. By the way, almost all girls on the series follow the animal-inspired theme so if you find it lame... Well, sucks to be you.) What I can't explain is how the anime always kept me coming back for more. Yes it's stupid most of the time, the jokes aren't good and the atmosphere is so lovely dovely that it makes me want to puke. But somehow it keeps me yearning for more. I guess nekoyama's loli levels are to blame for this, since I find scenes she's not in rather boring. Overall if you're a fun of meru meru-level yuri I suggest it.

On my mission to save humanity from a world full of betrayal, hate and despair I must continue my search for mankinds last hopes. This time in the interrogation room: # # # CASE : Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san # # # It´s a very fast paced comedy show with a dozen of episodes, which are only 3-4 minutes long. It´s supposedly romantic aswell, but in reality all you see is a hyperactive and extrovert doglike mc jumping around like crazy whenever she meets a new girl. Design wise I found the not so original idea of the animal theme still appealing and the character artwas beautiful too. The female catlike mc Nekoyama is someone worth mentioning, she looks incredible cute. Mainly due to her hairstyle. In the very first episode we have our main pair, one is catlike and loves dogs and the other vice versa, introduced to us. It looks like they fall in love from the start and things are getting a little lewd aswell, seemed promising was what I thought. What followed was unfortunately a disappointment. Our doglike mc´s loveinterests were everything that had boobs and two legs, the pacing was incredible fast, the jokes weren´t all that funny. So as a result: Even though you can watch the complete show in 30 minutes it became tiring for me. I wanna add that the doglike mc Inugami reminded me off Kyouko from Yuru-Yuri, but in a bad way. Like a cheap, unoriginal rip off. Maybe it´s just my impression, but that´s how I see it. All in all it´s a diverting sidedish at most that can be eaten for fast entertainment with not much to offer in terms of taste. Could be worth watching... ...if you have an weird animal fetish ...if you saw a picture of Nekoyama and thought: „so cute!“ ...If you seek a quick fix of cuteness and humor ...if you like yuri ...if you wanna watch something lighthearted ...if you like the pervy female dog like creature Things you could dislike... ...the fast pace ...the short episodes ...the missing plot and developement that comes with it ...the pervy female dog like creature (← this is me) ...the feeling that it´s unoriginal and a ripoff from other shows ## # CASE CLOSED # # # ~ ~ ~ Over and out ~ ~ ~
