If you love cats like I do, then immediately stop reading this review and go watch. For the rest of you, proceed to the next paragraph. Chi’s Sweet Home is like the Nintendo Wii of anime. Anyone of all ages can enjoy it: your sister will like it, your mom will like it, even your grandma will like it, if she’s into anime and is cool like that. Story ----------------------- The story is pretty clear-cut. A cute kitten named Chi gets lost and separated from her mother, and a human family that lives nearby finds her and decides to adopt her. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in theapartment complex, so the Yamada family must keep Chi out of sight, especially from the landlady. The third quarter of the 104 three-minute-long episodes gets kinda repetitive and filler-ish, but once you get over this small hurdle and reach the last quarter of the anime, you’ll remember why you stuck with this series for so long. Chi’s Sweet Home is not only entertaining, but enlightening for future cat owners like me. It’s like an animated pet manual. I had no idea about some of the things I’d have to go through while owning a cat, until I watched this anime.
Animation
-----------------------
Some people may complain that more shadows or a darker color palette should’ve been used, but I think the watercolor style reminds me of a children’s book, which complements well with the innocent atmosphere of this anime. The animation stays very true to the manga’s design. Actually, if you were to set them side-by-side they would look almost exactly alike.
Sound
-----------------------
The OP theme with Chi the cat singing the lyrics is cute, but odd, to say the least. Even I wouldn’t be caught listening to it on my MP3 player -- and that’s coming from a person who likes Figu@Mate. XD The only thing I can compare the OP theme to is Menchi the dog howling the ED theme of Excel Saga (which is ironic, because it’s sung by the same voice actress). As for Chi’s ED theme…what ED theme? Lol. The rest of the music is standard and bubbly, but in a good way. Simple music for a simple anime. Most of all, I gotta give huge props to Satomi Koorogi for doing such a great job with Chi’s voice. Many times I thought they used a real cat!
Character
-----------------------
The characters don’t have much depth, except the main star, Chi, of course. The parents and the little boy are mainly there to serve their role of caring for and disciplining Chi. Yet, the Yamada family does grow on you. Soon they will feel like distant relatives or close neighbors.
Enjoyment
-----------------------
I’ve never said “kawaii” so many times in an anime. This anime is very funny, which may be hard for you to believe until you see for yourself. Chi’s facial expressions and the way she reacts to her owners are simply priceless. This anime isn’t all about comedy, though. It is also suspenseful when Chi is at risk of getting caught, and there are some sad moments where I couldn’t help myself from saying “Poor Chi,” or “Poor Dad.”
Overall
-----------------------
Unless you totally hate cats or are allergic to uber kawaiiness, you should give this anime a try. Even though it’s a hefty 104 episodes, the series is only a little over 5 hours in length. Heck, even if you have 30 minutes to spare, you can zip through the first 10 episodes to see if you like it. In my opinion, Chi’s Sweet Home is the best anime about a pet. It’s suitable for all ages, and you may even learn a few things about cats.

This will be a spoiler-free, incredibly-biased review. I love cats, I truly do..that's kinda why my username (as of October 17th, 2016) is what it is. But when I learned that there was an entire anime about the daily life of a cat, I was excited! I was even more excited to learn that it had 104 episodes! ...Unfortunately these 104 episodes are around 3 minutes, and not your typical 20-something. But hey, this format definitely works for Chi and her story. By having shorter episodes, chunks of a story can be told at a time, allowing for a breezy watching schedule if you're like me,and nearing college within a year or so.
"So, what makes Chi so special, can't I just watch that newer Bananya show?" ..I know someone is asking that. Well, my answer is that Chi simply has more content, and in my opinion, a stronger emphasis on family. But I totally recommend watching Bananya as well!
Now, this moreso applies to the sequel series, but early on, there was a moment where I almost cried. Yes. I almost cried during a 3-minute short about an animated cat named "Chi". I won't spoil either of the two sagas in Chi's life, because I want you to experience it for yourself.
If you don't like cats, or animals in general..I can't guarantee that this show will do it for you. But if you do like those things, you might just like them even more.
With a CG series coming up soon, I thought it a good time to get my thoughts out on what I consider to be a sweet classic for pet fans, and you can most certainly watch this with your family.

The best word for Chii's Sweet Home is 'cute'. This show is pure, unmitigated cute. And I'll admit that isn't normally my thing because its rarely done right. That is to say that there's nothing wrong with cute, rather that cute in anime is very often interpreted as extremely dumb anime girls with fifty shades of glitter in their eyes. Chii avoids this, being that the main focus is on a kitten. The anime is basically the adventures of a cute kitten doing cute things in her cute new home. Again, like I said, this show is CUTE. There's nothing really magical or supernatural aboutit. More, its the slice of life of being a curious young kitten interacting with her new family and an unfamiliar world. Anyone who has had a kitten can account for both their massive bravery and massive cowardice that go humorously hand and hand, and this is well on display in Chii's Sweet Home.
The art is okay, mostly just servicable to the cute somewhat mascot-like design they've created for the titular character. The rest of the characters are done with very simple designs and the backgrounds are mostly just nice but not particularly memorable pastels. It works for the context of the format, especially since it adds to the whole theme of cute that you're experiencing. It fits the simple but insanely enjoyable characters anyhow, from the exuburant Papa to the titular Chii herself.
It's easy to enjoy Chii's Sweet House. If you like cute, and you like cats, you'll probably like this anime. Since I personally love cats, I loved this. It's enjoyable and genuine in its cuteness, and my day always brightens when I see a little Chii.

"Chi's Sweet Home" is so sweet that cute and sweet that i wouldn't recommend it to diabetics. Story - Being a children's anime plot isn't a key factor of the series but regardless of that it has a very nice little story. It's really great how one three minute episode can leave you rolling on the floor with laughter and the next will have tearing at your hair at anticipation. Some episodes will even having you balling like a baby.Also, the series actually has many realistic themes and will really hit home for anyone who has ever raised a kitten (litter box training, shedding, openingscreen doors, ect.). The only complaint I have plot wise is that the end leaves many questions unanswered but I guess that's why the sequel is being released this month. ^^
Art -
What I like about the animation of "Chi's Sweet Home" is that it is consistently good. Many series have very smoothly done animation, half of the time. At certain episodes that have more plot relevance than others they suddenly get a budget increase. However, with this series the audience can always expect very cute animation. This can probably be accredited to it's three minute runtime.
Sound -
Probably the most adorable freakin' opening theme. I'm sorry, but it's true.
Characters -
The characters are very simple but it's amazing how the audience will grow attached to them over the 104 episodes. The cast is small but satisfying. Our main character Chi, aka the world's most adorable kitten and then her adopted family the Yamadas (no, not as in the Ghibli film by Takahata-sama). The family is made up of Yohei, a model child and a sweet kid, Mother, who tries to take care of everyone, and the easily excitable Father. About half way through the series, just in time to keep it from getting boring, come Blackie or the black bear cat, who teaches Chi about being a feline. Overall they all do a wonderful job bringing such a cute little show together.
In conclusion I highly recommend Chi's Sweet Home to anyone who likes animals, children's anime, or just love to go "awwww!"

(This review is for both Chi's Sweet Home and Chi's New Address.) This is the series that taught my daughter how to read. XD My daughter really loves cats. Like, REALLY loves cats. So when my husband and I stumbled upon this anime we were thrilled. We watched it subtitled, and our daughter was just learning how to read so it encouraged her to not only read, but read quickly. I really do encourage you to use subtitles if you have a child that is learning to read and you find something they are really interested in. We also got her the manga to read, which wasmore challenging because of the "baby talk", but she still loved every bit of it.
The story is pretty good. It's actually more complex and emotional than I would have expected for a children's show, and I find that I enjoyed this anime a good deal, too. The animation is pretty standard for anime. The music is upbeat and fun. Overall, it's just a really cute anime, especially if you love cats, or if you have a kid that loves cats.
If I could change one thing about this anime, it would be the episode length. It has really short episodes. It's really not a big deal, but I would have preferred longer episodes.

This anime is pure bliss if you own or wish to own pets, and appreciate the joy that they can bring into a household. The premise is simple - a mischievous, energetic kitten interacts with her environment. Each episode is only three minutes long, and is mostly an episodic adventure that carries the theme of “finding something new to explore each and every day”. If you’re familiar with the manga Yotsubato, the spirit is the same. What’s most wholesome about this show to me, is that it perfectly captures the influence that a pet can have on a family of all ages. The young boy Yohei hasno siblings to play with, and is an only child. But he’s never lonely or because of the company that his cat provides for him. At one point, the boy was sick. And chi sat on his chest and kept him warm. There's is never a dull moment in the household so long as Chi is there, and she quickly becomes an irreplaceable member of her family.
This anime isn't entirely drama free, though this may seem to be the case. There's a bit of suspense in the family keeping Chi a secret from other tenants and the landlord, because it is a violation of their lease to own pets. Will the Yamada family be forced to give Chi up? Will they move just for the sake of being allowed to keep Chi? There are moments where this becomes a serious dilemma that changes the tone of the show.
This obviously won't be for everone - it's slice of life in its purest form, but is so great for those that find cat shenanigan's to be amusing. It can even serve as a PSA for why pets are so beneficial for family living environment.

I am a cat owner myself and can recommend this series to not only cat lovers, but to anyone who likes animals. Chi's Sweet Home is a short 3-minute episode series about a kitten who lives with the Yamada family. You can read the summary yourself, we know that's not why you're reading this! Anyway.... Story: 9 I love the pacing of this story! If you have not seen the now infamous Axis Powers Hetalia,( which is a 5-minute series), or any other series with episodes this short, you are missing out! But that is beside the point. This type of series is really difficult to write for becauseit has to present a good amount of information without feeling like you tried to stuff 30 minutes of content into a 5 min or less time slot. Chi's Sweet Home does this really well, and even sets you up for 2-parters at times. The story does get a little boring towards the end, but it picks up for a great finale.
Art:
I am not an art person, but the style does feel like it suits the tone of the anime. It is light and bright to suit the innocence of the characters and the tone. Also, as a avid manga reader, it pleased me to see that the character designs were kept in very good standing with the manga.
Sound:
I don't know what to say about the BGMS. They're cute.....?
However, with the OP, it sets the mood entirely for the content you are about to watch. Koorogi Satomi does a wonderful job singing about Chi's simple needs and wants in this d'awwww invoking song.
Character:
Here's where I think the characters really shine. Every character is so believable as both an archetype and an individual, that you really think that the Yamada family could live down the street from you. I love that Chi and the family can speak to each other, but instead of going down the route where a lot of fiction (both Western and Eastern) go with making the animal understand the human and act accordingly, Chi understands almost none of it and figures it out with body clues and tone, just like a real cat would. I have 3 kittens now, and I feel that Chi is like my kittens on a screen. They do the exact. same. things.
Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed the throwback to my childhood this brought, and I would show this to any child or any adult who just wants a laugh at a cute kitten.
Overall:
I believe that Chi's Sweet Home is overlooked as one of the greatest anime to be put out. It takes itself seriously, but doesn't. It knows what it is, a 3 minute anime. It does not try to make itself more than that. The scenes are heartwarming and funny if you have owned a pet before and can say- "Yeah, I've done that!!"
The characterizations are lovely and it's just a fun anime to watch.
So please, if you've got like 5-6 minutes, give it a shot!

As someone who loves cats, this is a very cute and wholesome anime! If you love cats or have them, Id suggest watching this. Each episode is short, and my little sister (whos 8) watched this with me and I ended up falling in love with Chi! I could not help but stop smiling at Chi, and her cute bubbly personality. The entire anime is a slice of life anime about a simple kitty with her family. I feel like most people would end up loving Chi, so if you like slice of life anime and just want something to gush at, I would recommend thisanime! The art is simple, yet it is memorable and adorable.

This is a slice-of-life anime that goes through the Yamada's acceptance of Chi's role in their family. From the funny moments of discovery, that cats nails need trimmed, they like being brushed, and how much of a pushover otosan is, to the touching moments, where Chi went for a walk and couldn't find her way home to the Yamada's, and the sudden moving away of Chi's best cat friend, there isn't a moment that you aren't riveted. Sure, it's an anime for younger children, the japanese is very simple, as are the short (only 6 minutes long) episodes, but when you start watching that all fadesas Chi's antics with the Yamada family.
Each character is fully developed with a personality, and not as backdrops or reactionaries to Chi. Each of the Yamadas come to different conclusions on how to take care of Chi, or the best way to do something. Chi herself is well-rounded, curious, and acts much like a kitten would. It's very easy for cat-lovers to remember when their own cats were kittens and the antics they would do.

A must-watch anime for cat lovers! This anime focuses on a small kitten who was taken home by a child. While Chi is trying to adjust to life with the family, the human characters are trying to make sure their strict landlord doesn't discover Chi's existence, as pets aren't allowed in their apartment. Each episode is very short, so it's easy to sit down and breeze through a couple episodes at a time. It has some familiar moments for those who have ever owned a cat (for example, Chi preferring an empty box to the expensive toys the father bought her). The anime reminds us whywe love cats, especially as the bond between Chi and Youhei grows.
