Koneko-chan loves mochi ice cream so much, she makes suggestive noises as she chews and is left in a daze of pleasure after finishing.
If there are other people in the room, invite them over to watch with you. Otherwise they'll just hear Raku-chan talking and think you're watching Asian porn. This goes double for episode four.
Alas, Poor Scrappy: While Raku-chan has an extremely annoying voice, fans admitted feeling shocked and genuinely a little saddened by her (relatively) well-animated death scene.
Koneko-chan doesn't have any involvement in Raku's romance, or even any other defining characteristics. At times it seems like she is aware of her true nature, horrified at the world and show in which she lives. Other times, it seems like she is high or intoxicated, supposedly to run away from the Awful Truth.
Or, Raku could be mentally disabled, Koneko is friends with her out of sympathy (or legitimate friendship) and Hitoshi is being a dick and teasing her.
Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The scene where Raku-chan's friends from college visit her absolutely comes out of nowhere, even by the show's standards. These characters have very strange appearances and voices and have never been mentioned before and are never mentioned again.
Hitoshi singingShakira's Hips Don't Lie. His Smug Snake voice is already hilarious in its own right, but that combined with near constant Corpsing, doing funny voices, and the song choice itself is comedy gold.
Koneko having feelings for Raku is the most common.
Neither girls are really cat girls.
Fan-Preferred Couple: Raku/Koneko, despite Raku mostly being teased with Hitoshi. Likewise for the boys, Hitoshi/Geoff was the biggest fan-preferred couple for Hitoshi over Hitoshi/Raku until it became canon in the finale.
Fridge Brilliance: After Raku-chan's death, Bokutachi-San is seen acting cheerfull and happy, even taunting Hitoshi-San for killing her by breaking her heart. It seems pretty cruel until you remember Koneko and Raku previously foiled his attempts to molest Hitoshi. Of course he'd be happy to see one of them gone.
Growing the Beard: The channel's videos released after the original series ended have smoother animation. Not significantly better, but it has noticeably improved.
The terms "Downright sugoi" and "I am very arigatoful" are fairly popular among fans.
Kidnapper-kun's actual name is Bokutachi-san, but in a reference to the Let's Watch!, Koneko half-jokingly says that she thought his name was Geoff in the finale.
"Nya~ Rawr~"
"YOU'RE NOT AN ORDINARY FELLA!"Explanation The opening theme song, TRUE♥LOVE by jun feat. Schanita, is recorded straight from DanceDanceRevolution gameplay, with this sound effect left in.
"Aah, hamburger sandwichとDiet Coca Cola." Explanation A reference to a fan-made Japanese dub of the series which swaps out some of the Japanese stereotypes with American stereotypes, including replacing Hitoshi's pocky and ramune in the second episode with a hamburger and a Diet Coke.
Raku-chan's dream sequence at the start of Episode 10. The special effects, or the lack thereof, makes it more horrifying than it should be.
The ending song from the last chapternote An Engrish cover of "Last Christmas" by George Michael manages to be surprisingly sinister, disregard if this was the intention or not.
Narm Charm: Raku-chan's death scene. It's blatantly goofy because she's dying of a broken heart because of Hitoshi-san's new relationship, and is just as cacophonic as she usually is. However. quite a few viewers mentioned feeling legitimately sad at seeing her die after spending so many episodes with her, Koneko-chan, and Hitoshi-san, and seeing the latter mourn their dying friend can be quite saddening. It also helps that the scene is animated much better than the rest of the series.
Hitoshi-san's daydreaming and possible feelings for his kidnapper/attempted rapist seem to be shaping into this.
The Scrappy: Raku-chan, even when compared to the other characters, because of her horrifically high-pitched voice and whining.
Signature Scene: While there are a handful of standout scenes, one of the biggest is when Raku-Chan gets bitten by a squirrel in episode 4...then proceeds to sit and cry loudly for almost two minutes.
So Bad, It's Good: The series can be considered so bad that it's quite entertaining.
Special Effects Failure: The Windows Movie Maker text. Also when Raku-chan and Koneko-chan crash through a window to save Hitoshi-san.
Raku-chan's death's aftermath. Oh sure, her death in itself is hilariously narmy, but the reactions of the other characters, and especially the end theme are depressing as all hell.
Hell, Raku-chan's death was pretty tear jerking thanks to a combo of Animation Bump and Raku-chan's voice-acting during her final sayonara to Hitoshi and Koneko being done a LOT better in this scene.
From the word go, episode ten was a tearjerker. After only nine episodes, the fanime that has grown on you has come to a close. This is it, the last episode, the grand finale... Then the video starts and you find that the sugary and hopeful opening theme True Love has been replaced with the heart-rending love ballad Is This Love by Whitesnake...
Unintentional Period Piece: The series was very much a product of its time, with cliches and characters archetypes (such as Cat Girls, which stopped being the primary source of animal eared girls in mainstream otaku culture towards the end of that decade) that parodied those of the anime and manga of the early 2000s, in addition to the music choices (DanceDanceRevolution and *NSYNC, for starters) referencing what was popular at the time. In fact, most of the things parodied in the series peaked years before. This extends even to the amateurish DeviantArt-style and pseudo-Japanese Occidental Otaku internet speech the series parodies; these were already on their way out by the 2010s, but were fully replaced in their respective niches by time of the channel's 2022 posts.
Wangst: Raku-chan is extremely whiny and emotional through much of the series, which can get very irritating.
His Smug Snake voice is already hilarious in its own right, but that combined with near constant Corpsing, doing funny voices, and the song choice itself is comedy gold.
