lol, seems like everyone in this series is yuri. Does it run in the family?

Neko's big sister was a fun addition.

King-Slayer · 2014-05-16, 01:00

Neko's sister maybe a gigolette. Nice ending scene with her and the Doggy.

Random Wanderer · 2014-05-22, 13:46

Introducing Monkey. ...Yeah, there's really nothing else to say here.

Kaengel · 2014-05-22, 14:26

Well, monkey and banana. All right.

King-Slayer · 2014-05-22, 21:23

Monkey was kinda mean at first but Doggy grew on her. Wish there were more Cat and Dog scenes though.

Yup just another generic Tsundere...I was kind of hoping with a name like Monkey she'd be a hyper-energetic trickster.

I don't really get this one. "Tori" I would think would make her a bird, and we did get birdlike imagery in one of the eyecatches, but all the jokes involve her being like a ghost instead. I can't find any connection between that and her name.

HandofFate · 2014-05-29, 17:02

Isn't it the Torii for the gate to the shinto shrines or some japanese buddhism entrances.
So it represents passing and death as well.

And I think birds also has some death symbolism in japan as well.

"To this day it is still unclear whether torii are a uniquely Japanese cultural concept or a foreign import. What is clear however, is their function of separating the profane and the mundane from the sacred.

As for the word torii itself there have been several etymological explanations: either tōri-iru (通り入る) which means "to pass through and enter" or - as mentioned above - tori 鳥 (bird) and iru 居 (to be [somewhere] or to sit), bird perch. There has been an age-old connection between birds and death in Japan, as both the Kojiki as well as the Nihon shoki mention how Prince Yamato Takeru had turned into a white bird after his death, choosing his burial ground in that shape. Consequently, his burial mound had been called shiratori misasagi (白鳥陵, white bird grave). Other classicial Japanese texts too support the close connection between the souls of the dead and white birds."

Interesting. I knew about the term for shrine gates, but since everyone else was an animal I didn't think it was being used in that fashion. I wasn't aware of a connection between birds and death. Thanks for the information.

Dark Wing · 2014-05-29, 17:19

Well I guess we all learn something new everyday...

King-Slayer · 2014-06-05, 14:01

lovers quarrel indeed. Glad to see mouse again as well.

Random Wanderer · 2014-06-05, 15:08

...So clearly a lover's quarrel. Silly little pets. Can't you all just get along?

Kaengel · 2014-06-05, 15:20

That's some lover's quarrel. Everything about a hairstyle can lead to this.

King-Slayer · 2014-06-12, 14:18

the pool is very erotic. Too bad for you Neko.

Kaengel · 2014-06-13, 05:00

Cats don't like water.
Too bad, I would have loved to see Inugami convince Neko to go in the water with her.

Lord of Fire · 2014-06-16, 06:22

Lovers quarrels can be very frightening things, apparently, to be started over something as trivial as a hairstyle.

I was hoping that Inugami would just pull Nekoyama in the water. Too bad she wasn't that bold. I did like how Neko eventually felt like she was missing out on something when they were done.

King-Slayer · 2014-06-19, 18:47

Loved seeing Doggie very depressed that she couldn't see Neko. Also loved Neko's "dream".

cutest part of the episode

Animals attending the festival. Cow gets flirty with Dog, Cat wants to eat the goldfish, Aki wears a China dress, and Bird is home sick (as usual).

I... guess the series is over? Kind of a short cute yuri thing that didn't really accomplish much on account of only being three minutes long.

King-Slayer · 2014-06-26, 20:36

Don't want this thing to end simply because it was very fun. I want more Neko and Doggie as well.
