Just Beautiful !
The gorgeous original music by Koyama Erina accompanies a warm color pallet that surrounds the couple with this warm and intimate feeling. The many shots of the two looking at each other and close-ups of their faces portray a longing that comes off as fleeting and effortless (something we saw in Jack O Frost, also directed by Yasukawa Yuka). The acting never feels too forced, and Robin’s face portrays so much subtle detail. Episode four is my favorite of the series when we finally see why Miyata was holding out so much. The scene by the river has made me tearful both times I have watched it but the line, “I may not be able to show the weight of my love, so I don’t know if it comes off as equal, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you” always brings the tears in full force. For me, this scene replicated the feeling I had when I found someone I loved and they said the right words to lift me out of loneliness. Perhaps, my own experience makes me like this BL a lot, or maybe it is truly hitting on something authentic. - EJ ReviewsWas this review helpful to you?
Ugh.. where to even begin?
For several reasons, Love is Like a Cat is the worst BL I have seen this year. When you really think about it, combining two languages is incredibly hard to pull off, and in this show, it is clumsy and non-sensical (why can characters understand each other sometimes and other times not???). But, the problem at the core of this is the romance. There is zero chemistry the romance is nowhere to be found, and when it is found it's awkward as hell. I hypothesize that the actors had trouble behind the scenes with the mixed-language issue and this translated (see what I did there ;) into their performances. Sigh, even Mew’s visuals and charisma could not save this BL. The plot is boring, slow, and the tension never pays off. Also, at this pet cafe, there are no extras and one (1) dog and zero (0) cats or maybe I just don't remember if there were. Please skip this one, it's not even so-bad-its-good, it's just... bad. And if you want to see more Mew just watch TharnType again (that's what I did). -EJ ReviewsWas this review helpful to you?
