Any other shows like Poyopoyo?
This one seems pretty unique so I don't expect there to be a lot of other shows like this, but any other good slice-of-life comedies about pets and preferably cats?
Also, if you can think of a show that is stylistically and thematically like Poyopoyo, but not about pets, I would be open to that kind of recommendation as well. These kind of shows are such a great antidote to all of the grim, violent, anime I usually watch. |

I highly recommend looking at Akitaro Daichi's comedic works. He was the director of Poyopoyo, and he's done a lot of great comedy anime.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akitarou_Daichi Of his works, Poyopoyo seems closest in tone and style to Atashi'n'chi, but that only had a few episodes fansubbed. I'd say his best comedic works are Akazukin Chacha and Kodocha, but those aren't very similar to Poyopoyo.

Too much of anime comedy is either harem (not that there aren't ANY good harem comedies) or failed attempts to replicate AzuDai (Lucky Star, Nichijou, K-on et al. damn you KyoAni!) |

For a bit edgier show about a pet, I recommend Higepiyo. He is a chick bought at a festival stand by a young family who later discover the chick can speak. Higepiyo himself has aspirations to samurai greatness. This is one of my favorite VA roles for the great Paku Romi.
