The atmosphere is lighthearted and observational, capturing the small details of domesticity with an understated charm.

Whenever I look at my dog, I have always wondered what he would sound like if he could talk. Now I know that he would sound like Kana Hanazawa. This anime has changed my life for the better. I am a person who has grown up with a dog throughout their life. Even though I have not had a cat, I can feel how it would be like through Tomokazu Sugita’s amazing, impactful voice acting. This anime has portrayed a pet owners true feelings. I never felt so understood before. I recommend this to all pet owners and even not pet owners since everyone canenjoy the comedy and heartfelt emotions that this anime has given me. Being a pet owner is a bonus to this already beautiful anime but that is not a requirement to enjoy this masterpiece. Nyaa〜 10/10

Do you like cute pets? Sure thing, because everyone loves animals. Some of us have pets, some of us don't. Nevertheless, we humans like to spend time and play with them, be it at the zoo or even at home. Dogs and/or cats are certainly the pets that many have and without any doubts, they are adorable animals. Follow the everyday life of our manga artist Matsumoto-san who is based on the author of the series. She is the proud owner of a dog AND a cat. Every day she experiences new problems and adventures with them, but she still loves both animals very much. Wedon’t only experience their happy everyday moments, but also sad ones when she thinks about her previous pets that she played with as a child. Although she only lives in an apartment and does not own a house, all three friends still find a cozy place.nnHer dog, Inu-kun is a small gray dog with fuzzy ears, a top and a tail. He's always in a good mood, no matter what happens. Even if the cat makes nonsense, he immediately forgives her and happily begins to sing and dance. He looks forward to every new day.nThe cat Neko-sama, on the other hand, has a very intimidating face that would scare anyone outright. Nevertheless, he is a good boy at heart and radiates his coolness everywhere. The animals are also based on the author's real-life pets.nnThe art style is simple but cute, it is very similar to the manga version. You certainly can't expect wild and crazy animations, but it gives the viewers a very comfortable feeling. You feel at home.nnBoth theme songs are quite similar. With happy music, they radiate a happy mood to us. It's not an orchestral masterpiece obviously, but the simplicity fits it perfectly. With Kana Hanazawa as the dog's voice actor, we also have one of the most popular seiyuu nowadays. Dogs cannot speak human language, but you can feel the joy from the happy barking. Also, the matching deep cat voice is spoken by a popular voice actor: Tomokazu Sugita.nnYou had a busy day and just want to switch off for two minutes? Or just briefly on the toilet? Then this is the perfect anime. Take a little break and enjoy the happiness that pets bring to us people. The acts are simple but fun and cute.

This show does exactly what it set out to do, provide joy. If you're feeling down and just want to put a good smile on your face, watch this show. It isn't some sort of deep methodical masterpiece, but it set out on its goal and achieved it. This small show I stumbled upon randomly one afternoon is something everyone can and should watch. Each episode is a little over a minute of a young girl interacting in relatable and cute ways with her pets. The dog is always cheerful, the cat is always grump (and voiced by Tomokazu Sugita of all people). It is anadorable show to make you smile and it got the job done every week. n10/10
