My Roommate is a CatStreaming on Crunchyroll.MC is an author with social anxiety who wants nothing more than to be left alone with his craft. He hates having others intrude on his stories, preferring his own imagination and ideas to fuel them. He meets a hungry kitty and is inspired to write, so takes the kitty home with him.I think my roommate summed this one up the best when she said “wholesome” after the OP finished running. This is just a very sweet show about a man who doesn’t take care of himself and a cat who lived a harsh life trying to make sure he does. It’s very cute.Not that it doesn’t have flaws though. The first episode’s tone feels like it’s struggling between comedy and drama, especially in the first half. If this were a comedy, MC’s distance towards other people because they ‘spoiled a book he was reading’ would fit nicely, but because this isn’t really a straight up comedy, we also have to throw dead parents into the mix. The first half of the episode we experience the story through the MC’s POV and he’s incredibly… boring. Even when we rehash the same events a second time through the cat’s POV, it’s better. They at least have some personality! Maybe this tonal dissonance is purposeful - since we are dealing with two different characters clashing together, but it ends up feeling like a balancing act they didn’t quite get right all the same.Quick heads up that this show deals in some small ways with the concept of loss. There’s one flashback scene that implies a member of the kitty’s family passed away as well.Will I Watch Episode 2? Yup! Kitty cute. -- source link
