Nyaight of the Living Cat is quite possibly one of the silliest new anime in a while. I mean, seriously. Just look at the postapocalyptic horror-comedy manga of the same name by writer Hawkman and artist Mecha-Roots. Even the manga doesn’t take itself seriously, and is just utterly littered with references to other horror series, including Resident Evil. Just…all in kitty form. Not even kitties drawn in a horrific style. Just straight-up kitties. Little, floofy kitties that just want human to pet them, even if that very act turns them into kitties themselves.

As you can imagine, the entire premise of this anime has grabbed my interest like a kitty going after a cat toy. You can then also imagine just why Crunchyroll are so eager to hype up this horrifically hilarious anime with a brand nyew official trailer. The second one, actually. Don’t believe me? Then why not check out that YouTube trailer for Nyaight of the Living Cat from Crunchyroll below, and see for yourself if this nyew anime is amyusing enough for you to bat at for a bit?
