Television Summary IX (Cat Planet Cuties Ep. 1)


So it's cat week. And I wanted to watch something random that I had never seen before.
So I went on the old Google search engine and looked up ''anime cats''. I knew I'd be getting a whole whack of random search results to run through.

This left me with plenty of options. Do I want a cute pet animated show (like Hamtaro), do I want a Sailor Moon-esk show? Maybe a space adventure with over-the-top action and anthropomorphic creatures.
Oh, a Cute looking anime show with jiggly girls who happen to have cat ears and a tail. Why I'm Shameless, let's watch this glorified soft core porn show.
If nothing else it'll be good for a laugh and I'm a sucker for anything with bright colours.

Little did I know I was embarking on one of the largest pieces of trash I would ever stumble upon.
This animated cat show is absolutely horrible.
It's one of those lame animes that deceives you with promises of wacky over the top silly girl antics. But in reality is just a straightforward monologue of the world's most dweeby guy.
Out of all the characters for the show to focus on!
It decided to follow the ''adventures'' of the world's lamest boy.
This dorky guy who's supposed to be a super loser who doesn't have a girlfriend and is socially awkward with everyone he comes across. 
And yet somehow has a myriad of (girl)friends who are all super cuties that are secretly into him.

It wouldn't be so bad if the guy had just a little bit of Charisma. Or enough social skills to at least form a conversation with one of these weirdo girls.
But instead we have to spend half of the entire episode following around this dorkabilly dweeb as he gawks at all the girls in a really creepy way.
None of them seem to be bothered by it. Which is just annoying.

All it does is create artificial padding that stretch out the episode and fill it with as little story as humanly possible.
It's made all the worse with the abysmal English dubbing that's put over the whole thing. I'd say maybe the Japanese version was better but I strongly doubt it.
Especially considering that whatever little amount of story we have outside of Dickie-D and his unhealthy reaction with women, happens to be this stupid alien subplot involving the Cat-girls fighting against some evil gang with over-the-top pretentious idiots, constantly monologuing about how great they are.

I'm sure there's more I could complain about. But I just can't be bothered to think about this show anymore. It's not worth your time. If you just want to ogle cat girls, you can look them up on the Internet or find plenty of other animes to fill the Gap. Heck. You can just look up this show and go to Google Images save yourself the hassle.

My recommendation, go watch ''Outlaw Star''. It's a show with an actual story and amusing characters. They even have their own cat girl. She's a fleshed-out person who's fairly attractive and very comedic.
Far better than anything you'll find here.

If for some reason you're a big fan of the show and you don't like all my belittling of it. Than I invite you to write an article about how much ''A New Leaf, Superman, Dr. Strangelove or Scapegoat'' is the worst thing you've ever seen. Feel free to take something I love and rip it apart.
It's only fair.
