Released as a premium edition Blu-ray box set back in June 2013 (Review) from NIS America, Viewstar has brough the anime series Everyday Tales of a Cat God to the streaming service. Based on the manga series Nekogami Yaoyorozu as created by FLIPFLOPs that debuted back in 2007 and has run for four volumes so far, Everday Tales of a Cat God is a twelve episode series with an additional OVA animated by AIC Plus+. The series is one that plays heavily to the comedy and it goes for the cute look to a big degree as it introduces us to a number of gods and familiars and keeps them all very pint-sized and adorable even as they do various things.
Plot concept: Meet Mayu. She is a cat god, but because she could not stop getting in trouble, she has been cast down from the heavens and is now doomed to suffer on Earth! Oh, no! But then, one day, she is taken in by the earnest and kind Yuzu, who owns an antiques shop called “Antiques Unlimited.” As Yuzu is quick to learn, Mayu’s laziness knows no bounds, as she would rather play video games than turn over a new leaf. The everyday tales of this cat god and her harrowing adventures to the candy shop, a landfill, and a beach resort show Mayu and her friends that sometimes, the simplest things in life are the best. There is also Gonta, who is obsessed with Yuzu, but Mayu wanted his role in this summary to be minimal. So there you have it.
