Kyou No Nekomura -San 終わり

 For such a silly and frivolous drama, Kyou No Nekomura-san ended up being  pretty darn good!
A show starring perennially-cast tough-guy Yutaka Matsushige as a fluffy white housekeeper cat doesn't sound like something you could take seriously, and yet, thru its 24 2-and-a-half minute episodes it was a really sweet, funny, and often times quite touching drama full of sincerity!
One of the storylines I really liked was Nekomura trying to make friends with the family's belligerent delinquent daughter Oniko (Elaiza Ikeda), and it was really nice watching her slowly accept him, in her own crass and stand-offish way!
Also a FUN running gag with Nekomura and a gossipy neighborhood Mama (a hilarious Ando Sakura) who are always butting heads and trying to "one-up" each other, LOLOL!
A gentle drama I'm going to miss!
