Dókjonin wa hiza, tokidoki, atama no ue. (2019) 

This show is sort of like Barakamon with a cat, which has additionally borrowed the main gimmick from the Look Who's Talking movie franchise (the feature-length movies from the 1990s starring John Travolta). Simply put, it is an incredibly adorable, likable anime series about how a book author who has a lot of problems comes out of his shell through an encounter with a furry animal and realizes that staying on your own all the time is not right for a social being, which both humans and cats are. Or perhaps it was about a suspicious stray cat who, through an encounter with a strange man learns how to trust again... This is an enjoyable and entertaining show, helped a lot by the alternation of perspective between the two main protagonists. As far as the emotional aspect is concerned, I thought they handled everything perfectly. In the beginning I had the feeling that everything was pleasantly warm and funny, and most importantly that they did not try to force things to any extreme emotionally, or milk it for all it was worth, which I welcomed and enjoyed immensely. The real drama came at the very end, however, considering the fact that I ended up with a huge smile on my face, it obviously worked for me - in other words, I have nothing to complain about. I like cats (even though I am allergic to them), and it was the anime series I was looking forward to the most out of the whole of the winter releases (and the one that gets full marks from me). 9.3/10.
