Kotatsu Neko Anime Announced

An anime television series of five minute episodes based on the 2006 “live-action science-fiction/fantasy romance” film Kotatsu Neko (Heated Table Cats) will premiere in October. (A kotatsu is a short table with a heater underneath its center to keep people’s legs warm.) The 2006 movie is a story about Shito, a white cat, and Zero, a black cat, that live in an apartment with middle-school hikikomori (introverted shut-in) Rei “Junior” Fujisaki. Both Shito and Junior have loves that they can’t bring themselves to confess.

Voice actress Sakura Nogawa (Hinaichigo in Rozen Maiden, Erica Hartmann in Strike Witches) has revealed that she will play the white cat Shito-chan in the anime, a role played in the live action film by Serena. Nogawa will also sing the anime series’ ending theme song.
