satalasers What a cute movie! I thought it was going to be far more like The Cat Returns, but it turns out that it's more like that Goosebumps episode!
- Muge was a really relatable protagonist. The desire to be a cat, and not human, I totally understood that.
- What I didn't expect, was that another cat wanted to turn human as well.
- I liked the depiction of Muge's depression. Seeing people turn into scarecrows, and her getting angry that people were noticing that she wasn't as happy as she tried to make herself seem, on the outside. Also her confusing cat life with human life (at least to others). I 100% got why the two lives sort of merged, and she forgot that maybe, jumping off a building isn't something a human should do, even if a cat could.
- As nefarious as the Mask Seller was, I adored him. He just turned up as he liked, and had very sinister eyes, But, IDK, he liked that he was whimsical in his own away, and creeped Muge out at times.
- Hinode was cute, and I liked him so much!
- IDK if it was just because I'd come off fresh from Your Lie In April, but the romance worked better for me here. It was just, Less forceful, and more, people coming to terms and admitting that things were not as they seemed in a less whiplash kind of way.
- I really liked people telling Muge that they liked her as a human. I just. The second half, when people began validating her more and more, really spoke to me.
- Also, I loved the Cat Tree, and we got to see more humans who had turned into cats. And sure, they regretted their choice, but I think they were fine with it too, and but they wanted to help Muge, because she was young and could still change back.
Anyway, super liked this movie, and the more the story continued, the more I liked it.
