Neko Zamurai 2 (2015)

More Adorable Tamanajo, with more kitty friends, and now, the Mother In Law!

Given the runaway success of Season 1 with cat lovers, it's no surprise I'm back for more Neko Zamurai. Season 2 amps up the stakes with even more cats, a Cat competition, the Mystical Cat Mountain and the appearance of Madarama's Mother in Law, a true scene stealer, in the last episodes. The format is the same - short musical spurts, reused often in the 20 minute slice of life episodes ending with a 5 line Japanese Poem.

The Hero is still out of work and is now plagued by even more cats, who knows how they have appeared. The landlady is still trying to catch him. He has a new neighbor and is still searching for a permanent job. Tamanajo is even cuter and more pliant than ever, stealing our hearts with every stare and meow. Her charm is off the charts. More characters fell to her charms in season 2, joining Tamanajo's legion of fans. I watched behind the scenes and the cat really is that calm. Apparently Anago, the main cat actor, was given up by their family and very scared, but the actor playing Madarama really loves pets and patiently won her over. That is a good man.

There are several strange episodes featuring a cat god of sorts, the soul switch was hilarious and the mother in law, well *shiver* I love her, she is so bad ass she stole every scene. I enjoyed this every bit as much as season 1 and if you like cats and are up for some mostly light hearted cat-tertainment, this is the show for you.
