The TV anime Nyaight of the Living Cat is set to premiere in July ("Nyanya Month") on TV Tokyo and BS TV Tokyo (Groundwave/BS7ch, "Nyanya Channel"). Along with this announcement, the second teaser PV and cast details have been revealed. Notably, this article retains the official feline-inspired expressions used in the original Japanese announcement.

This anime is a survival cat comedy designed by cat lovers, for cat lovers—blending feline cuteness with heart-pounding suspense. Is a world overrun by cats a paradise, or a nightmare where touching them means losing your humanity?

What Would You Do in a 'Nyandemic'?

The cast shared their thoughts on how they would react if a world-overrun-by-cats scenario became reality.

Kunagi (CV: Masaki Mizunaka)
"I'd probably get chased by about 100 cats, but the moment they pounce, I'd spread my arms wide and embrace them all—becoming one happy cat myself."

Kaoru (CV: Reina Ueda)
"I'd accept my fate and become a cat. I'd love to talk to my cats at home and live together as one of them."

Arata (CV: Reiji Kawashima)
"If I couldn’t touch my cats, Ame and Rin, anymore... Then I'd become a cat too!! Let's groom each other forever!!!"

Tsutsumi (CV: Yu Serizawa)
"I’d proactively turn into a cat! If possible, I'd have my own cats turn me into one. Then we’d happily live together, enjoying treats like Churu and eating lots of fish."

Ren (CV: Subaru Kimura)
"Becoming a cat doesn’t sound too bad! I’d love to experience the infamous zoomies."

Masaki (CV: Yoshiki Nakajima)
"I’d gladly become a cat. I’ve always wanted to understand what my cat is thinking. If I became a cat, I could finally communicate with them and address their grievances."

Tanishi (CV: Hiroki Yasumoto)"I probably wouldn’t resist. I'd just become a cat and turn into one of those stray cats with a fish in my mouth, getting chased by a lady with an iconic hairstyle."
Gaku (CV: Ryota Takeuchi)"I’d try my best to keep running away! I’d want to watch the cats from afar and imagine myself petting and cuddling them… Oh no, I need to start training my stamina now."
