The winter blues are starting to settle in and that’s dangerous when it comes to cats.
What They Say:
Moe and Poyo works out during the winter season, Poyo gives up his secret base, and a girl will wear anything in the cold to look cute.
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
Exercising in the winter is definitely hard for people and cats and the games they all play can be pretty weird when you get down to it. While you have things like Moe dressing up Poyo and playing games with her to win cake from her brother, it’s not exactly what a cat or a human needs. When Moe thinks about hitting the gym, it’s comical how she views herself as a super athlete, especially considering the way we first saw her at the start of the series. But we do see that Poyo gets along well in the winter as he abuses the heck out of Hide by jumping all over him, stalking him like prey, and having his own secret base out in the greenhouse where he has his own gig going on. It’s pretty cute seeing how everyone has the things they’re doing and mechanisms for coping in the winter.
In Summary:
Poyopoyo doesn’t focus too much on our lead kitty but Poyo does have some good cute moments. The attention is more on Moe this time and that’s not completely bad to do since she hasn’t had a lot of time overall. Seeing how she envisions herself definitely continues to paint her as a bit of a silly person with an active imagination but we also get to see how “conniving” she is as she sets up situations for her to win. Considering how often she likely fails at things, it’s probably understandable. Poyo’s time here is cute but I could have gone for a whole episode of her just taking down Hide repeatedly as he gets his winter exercise by stalking him.
