    Amazing movie

    I watched the movie in end 2022 ! It's hard to believe that the movie was made in 1999 ! If I would've seen the movie in 1999 i would've 100% said the this is the best movie I've ever seen. I can definitely relate to this movie as I have lost many cats and dogs in my life ! As an animal lover i always admire the animation which includes animals ! This anime portraits the cat in a most perfect way ! Although I watched this in Hindi dubbed , i still loved it ! Amazing details and makoto Shinkai is always a treat to watch ! Will definitely watch his other movies and work soon ! The your name movie is simply outstanding.

    Beautiful cat

    I'm just in love with this anime, I have no words.it is so simple and short that it makes me think more. I have seen alot of anime but this anime have a special place in my heart. It's called silent love. The only kind of love i could relate to, don't we all love that way without even using a word. That love is so big that we just simply be silent. I wish I had better way to express it but. I love this anime so much that's all I could say. Watch it! It's short and sweet. Someone like me from a corner of this world wants you to see this anime. Hope whatever I wrote makes sense because I'm bad at express.

    The seasons of the cat

    Three seasons of this cats life is summed up in five minutes by the cat himself. He goes dating with Mimi in summer and she wants to marry him, but seeing as they are both kittens and he has an affair with an adult woman he cant do anything but make empty promises to her.

    Its a pleasant short with lots of detail. The drawings are wonderful all made in black and white depicting the city realistically. The story is likewise interesting from the perspective of the cat. You can really tell a story in five minutes, thats remarkable.

    If this is made by a débutant it looks very promising for hers/his carrier.

    So Very Touching.................

    I have always enjoyed watching films that are quite, soft and touching to the heart and in a way "old fashioned" to enjoy a Saturday afternoon and this film fits the bill exceptionally.

    The use of classic black and white images to convey the mood and atmosphere of the story was wonderfully done and as short as the story was it wasn't necessary to go any further because it had already left a life long impression on me.

    The woman referred to as only "she" by the cat wasn't always on screen but when she was you could see just how beautiful she was by the way her hair and and body was shown in each of the frames in the screen shots.

    A very moving short film that is highly recommended for a lazy Saturday afternoon in the suburbs.
