Shokotan's Autobiographical Cat & Family Essays Get TV Anime

posted on by Egan Loo
Shōko Nakagawa's life with 10 cats

The autobiographical writings of 29-year-old entertainer Magazine House published the book last March.

The main characters of Omakase Mamitasu are 10 cats. Nakagawa owns 10 cats in real life, and she adores one in particular named Mamitasu, the anime's namesake. The anime depicts the slapstick comedy of the idiosyncratic 10 cats and the folks in the unusual "Nakagawa family."

While the anime is aimed at children, its production committee says that the heartfelt story will remind a wide range of generations of something comforting that they may have forgotten in recent times. The anime is slated to air for one year.

Neko no Ashiato also recounts the marriage and life of Nakagawa's father (Beyblade: V-Force) is directing.

Nakagawa commented, "I never dreamt that the day would come when my precious cat Mamitasu would be animated. I watched lots of anime since I was a girl, and I learned courage and love from them. I hope that many children, or even just one, will feel something similar through this anime."

The anime will run between the popular television variety programs Tensai Takara Tomy has decided to merchandise key items in the anime this summer.
