Review:
Do you really, really care about the ongoing adventures of an adorable little kitten? Apparently, enough of Japan did, because Chi's Sweet Home has entered a new season of production. As always, the three-minute format and tales of everyday family life make this difficult to grade by typical anime standards, as that would be like trying to analyze Dilbert by the same rubric as Watchmen.
In any case, some vital developments occur early here: it's been getting harder and harder to hide Chi in a no-pets-allowed apartment complex, and her owners have decided that it might be best for the growing kitten to move out to the countryside. It's a surprisingly somber start: the opening episodes are basically about the feelings of loss that will eventually come when a housepet who's practically a member of the family has to leave. Of course, one still gets the obligatory scenes of Chi being rambunctious and cute around her family, but having it tempered by these uncertain emotions is a pretty unexpected move.
What is to be expected, though, is that the series is still presented in standard gag-strip style, with unapologetically simple character designs and backgrounds. Primary colors further accentuate the feel of modern suburban life, and what may come as a surprise is that the animation technique actually passes muster—in fact, there are some pretty slick transitions in the brief dream sequences about Chi's eventual departure. Hey, if you've got enough financial support to produce a second series of a five-minute show about a housecat, you might as well splurge a bit. Similarly, one will find the background music simple, pleasant and unintrusive, much like the rest of the show.
However, that pleasant simplicity is also what dooms the series. Yes, it meets the standards of its given genre. But is that genre going to grab viewers by their eyeballs and compel them to watch episode after itty-bitty episode? Probably not, unless they went through the entire 104-episode run of the original Chi. Or if they really care about what'll happen when Chi moves out.
