by

Hey there, fellow cat lovers! Buckle up, because in the year 20XX, we’ve got ourselves a global catastrophe! A virus, dubbed as the ‘nyandemic,’ has turned our world into a feline-dominated landscape. Cats are roaming freely, and if you get too close, you might just find yourself purring with them! Can humanity resist the urge to cuddle these cute critters to survive in this cat-tacular world?

Get ready for a post-apocalyptic, tail-wagging adventure! The creators of “Night of the Living Cat” have unveiled a brand new trailer and artwork. Based on the manga by Hawkman and illustrated by Mecha-Roots, this anime is set to whisk you away into a cat-taclysm where the destiny of our world will be forever altered! So, grab your favorite catnip toy, and let’s dive into this meow-velous journey together!

Observing from here, I find myself drawn to the captivating world of a show produced by OLM Studios, known for their works like “Pokémon,” “The Apothecary Diaries,” and “Berserk.” With its clever cat puns and chilling horror references, this production promises an entertaining journey for every moment.

But what truly sets it apart is the remarkable music by The Yellow Monkey. Their opening theme song, “Cat City,” and ending theme, “Matatabi” by Wanima, will undoubtedly send a rush of joy through you. Whether you’re a cat enthusiast or require anti-allergy medications, this hilariously entertaining, catastrophic apocalypse anime is sure to appeal to everyone. Mark your calendars for July 6th, as it lands on Crunchyroll!
