I had missed this when it was announced but the winter 2018 anime series Mitchiri Neko has its home video release scheduled. The release is being handled by Yoshimoto Music Entertainment with a May 30th, 2018 release just about here. It’s priced at 2,000 yen and will be a DVD-only release. It’s got a 48-minute running time and lists as containing the full 78-episode run.
Kyo Yatate is directing the series with helo inc handling the animation production. The Japanese cast includes Yūichi Nakamura as Colorful, Hiroshi Kamiya as Piyopiyo, Jun Fukuyama as Mitchi, Takahiro Sakurai as Honey, Saori Hayami as Ribon, Noriaki Sugiyama, Hina Kino, Kaede Hondo, and Satomi Akesaka.
The original work comes from Frencel.
Plot Concept: The story focuses on the cats known as “Mitchiri Neko,” who seem to multiply greatly when left alone. (As the official YouTube channel for the franchise explains, “‘Mitchiri’ means sticking together or packed, and ‘neko’ means a cat in Japanese.”) The cats are able to speak and mimic human behavior. The franchise has a variety of cat characters who have distinct personalities.
