Originally created by Makato Shinkai (5 Centimeters per Second, The Garden of Words), She and Her Cat is a short, sweet and heartwarming Slice of Life tale about a girl and her cat, Daru. The story follows the Cats perspective on life, and how he interacts with his owner. It is a prequel to the original work done by Makoto Shinkai, but it is not necessary to watch the original before watching this.Why Should you Watch It?She and Her Cat is a very simple work, totaling less 30 minutes. It is very reminiscent of Shinkai Makoto in that it uses beautiful art, wonderful cinematography, and calming piano music to get its simple message across. Though I probably don't have to mention it, it does have its happy, simple and mundane, and sad moments like all Shinkai works.It is different from many shows, in that the main character of this show is a cat, and the show is presented entirely through his thoughts and his point of view. It is Slice of Life in its purest form, with a small romance, descriptive dialogue, slow pacing and a feel good aesthetic.The OP is short and functional, but the ED is quite nice and definitely adds to the show. The girl in the show is voiced superbly by Kana Hanazawa.Like the show, I want to keep this short, partly for simplicities sake and also because getting much further into the 30-minute show that this is, would end up spoiling it. She and Her Cat is a short, touching Slice of Life show, that I feel is definitely worth your time.P.S. Watch the 4th episode to the end. http://ift.tt/1UyrVWi
