Anime Digest

The anime is about a cat called Tsushima, a stray cat, who is adopted by an elderly lady incorrectly referred to as “Ojii-chan,” who wished to own a bear-like cat. For the poor elderly lady and her several other cats, the talking cat makes life both colourful and stressful. The daily exploits of the slow leopard cat Tsushima are depicted in these Ore, Tsushima cartoons.

The Feel-Good Part

The anime is weirdly wholesome in every way. The story has both funny moments and weird moments that will force you to think some situations. The genre of a talking cat is common yet it is depicted in a very comical and non-offending way. The anime is hilarious all the way to the end with a touch of Tsushima lamenting and then lazily existing in Ojii-chan’s house.

The Disappointing Factor

The only disappointing factor about this anime is that each episode of it is within 2 minutes, thus making it too short for people to fully enjoy the life of Tsushima and Ojii-chan.
