Very rarely can you tell a great story in just 5 minutes, but Makoto Shinkai pulled it off very well for being his first project. Chobi disagrees he thinks it is a false promise due to her just being a kitten and that he loves the more 'adult' woman instead. While Mimi, on the other hand, is a cute kitten who wants to marry Chobi. The unamed girl She is shown as a lonely person who's only true friend in life is Chobi. There are just three characters in this: Chobi, She, and Mimi, the cat that Chobi dates in the summer. There are a few other sounds such as sound effects, but the soft background songs in it are great and soothing. Chobi's voice is constant in this OVA he gives his side of his conversations and tells everything from a narrative point of view other times. There are many freeze frames in the OVA, with the most animation coming from the background images, but this makes the story more involved and focused on and therefore it seems to fit the mood.Īs with the simple, but highly detailed animation comes the sound. This could've happened because of the popular belief that cats see in black and white (they really see in color), but it really makes this 5 minute story stand out that much more. He just knows that they are together, and that's all that there needs toīeing that there is no color in She and Her Cat adds to the OVA rather than ruins it. He notes that She leaves during the day, but does not wonder where, only that the scent of the outside world comes through the door each time. He notes how the girl cries, but does not wonder why, only that She is perfect and must not be at fault.
Chobi is quite a philosophical little cat but his observations don't go past of what a regular cat might think. She and Her Cat is told from the perspective of Chobi a cat that was recently adopted by She, an unnamed girl.
