Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu
Miyo Sasaki is an energetic high school girl who comes from a broken family consisting of her unconfident father and an overly invested stepmother, whose attempts at connecting with Miyo come across as bothersome. Seeing Kento Hinode as a refuge from all her personal issues, she can't help herself from forcing her unorthodox demonstrations of love onto her crush. While Miyo is unable to get Kento's attention as herself, she manages to succeed by interacting with him in the form of a white cat, affectionately nicknamed ""Tarou"" by Kento. But Miyo soon realizes that she can't help Kento with the various problems she overhears in her cat form and is now caught between two tough choices. Will she continue her relationship with him as a cat, or will she reveal her identity and risk what they have, in order to help him as her human self? [Written by MAL Rewrite] Note: The film was slated to open in theaters in Japan on June 5, but was postponed due to COVID-19 and received an exclusive streaming on Netflix beginning on June 18.

This review will be __spoiler free__, most of the events I talk about have already been shown in the trailer in some way. _A Whisker Away_ is a movie that I have wanted to watch ever since Netflix released the trailer for it a few weeks ago (May 28th). From the trailer, the anime looked like an ent…

The characters are simple, the storyline is easy to digest, and the tone never gets too serious or tense. In other words, it’s purrfect (see what I did there?) fo…

Read full review on AniList →Understanding that others have many different things going on in their own life is a great message, but what isn't is stalking someone and getting away with it just because you have the power to turn into a cat when you do it. The main character is a creep and very perverse; she turns into a cat to…
Read full review on AniList →A Whisker Away is one that I sort of watched on a whim today while I was browsing Netflix for something to pass time.

Read full review on AniList →Having watched the trailer weeks before, along with Studio Colorido's other work Penguin Highway, which I also massively enjoyed, I was tremendously excited to see what this movie had to offer. Although I must be honest and was kind of worried that this movie wouldn't live up to the hype, I am proud…

Read full review on AniList →I am the type of person who pays a lot of attention to, and is generally more interested in, the supporting cast or background characters in anime. So when i had reached a short way into this movie, I became drawn to the best friends of the two lead characters, Muge and Hinode, who were Yori and Isa…
Read full review on AniList →I think Nakineko did a spectacular job painting an incredibly delicate picture on how children respond to divorce and parental expectations. With their cat fantasy spin added into the plot, I thought that the movie was in a very strong position to make a sharp statement about the very real problems…
Read full review on AniList →There's something quite wistful about the idea of leaving behind all we know from our human realm and going somewhere else. Where? For some it never really matters where, as long as it's not here. We all struggle, or will struggle, eventually, and the natural urge to want to run away to where the pa…
