Nekopara English Sub & Dub

About Nekopara

Looking for background on Nekopara (ネコぱら)? This comedy, ecchi and slice of life series by Felix Film (2020) starts out like this. The premise: In this world, cats aren't furry four-footed creatures, but human-like girls with ears, tails, and cat-like behaviors. Still kept as pets, they're allowed out on their own if they pass a special training and wear their bells.

Further in, a young man running his own patisserie lives with two of these cats, Chocola and Vanilla, who help him out around the store. Maple and Cinnamon, two of the cats from home, also come in everyday, and together they enjoy a sweet life. Even if the cats don't always get along – and Azuki and Coconut certainly don't – things are peaceful and calm until a stray kitten follows Chocola home.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Yuki Yagi as Chocola and Iori Saeki as Vanilla. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
