So if I ever did get a cat instead, I'd hope that they and I were a bit like how Daru and Miyu are in this sweet little show. Not to mention, work and grad school have made it that I'm often not home, and I worry that if I did ever get a dog, I'd neglect it, given how much attention they need. I love that dogs are so generous with their affection, but when you find that one kitty that you can tell likes you and you in particular, there's something special about that. Although Daru can't express the affection he feels for her in words, they still cherish each other in the ways that a young woman and her kitty might.įor the longest time, I thought I was 'a dog person' who could never see herself living with a kitty, but I've realized that I appreciate cats in a different way, and there's a good chance I'm going to end up being a cat lady one of these days. Miyu is constantly stressed out from job-hunting and from the general feeling of loneliness she's had since her roommate moved out. She's had him since she was a little girl, and so he's now approaching the end of his life. Junior college student Miyu lives alone with Daru, her kitty. She and Her Cat: Everything Flows Synopsis It's unclear what day-to-day involvement Shinkai had in making this, and Tenmon wasn't asked to score the series again, it seems. Shinkai is credited only as the 'original creator ' this version was directed by Kazuya Sakamoto and scripted by Naruki Nakagawa. This review doesn't strictly cover that OAV, although I do talk about it a fair bit this series is a longer remake launched in 2016 and made with a full animation staff. Aside from an even shorter silent film called Other Worlds, this five-minute short was his first released work, and the only outside help involved (as far as I know) came from his wife Mika Shinohara, who voiced the nameless female lead (she also voiced Mikako in the original voice track of Voices of a Distant Star), and from his friend and longtime collaborator Tenmon, who wrote and performed the music. Notes: Makoto Shinkai first wrote and directed She and Her Cat (also known as She and Her Cat: Their Standing Points) in 1999. Related Series: She and Her Cat OAV (Parent Short Film)
