CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Let's see. There sure are a lot of anime with Cat girls in them:

• Outlaw Star
• All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (duh)
• Tokyo Mew Mew (sorry 4Kids, but I refuse to use your names)
• Tenchi Muyo (granted, it was only in one episode and only extremely brief, but it still counts)
• Dominion Tank Police
• Thundercats (I still consider this at least Japanese made)

So why are there so many? And why do we never see any male cat-humans besides the ones in Thundercats? (BTW, the list only concerns ones I know of or have seen. If I missed any others, kome no sai.)

1. Cause girls are cute

2. Cause cats are cute

A freind told me once a long time ago but most of it aludes me, all I remeber is it had something to do with a couple old Japanese fairy tales and the fact that dogmen and catwoman are associated with sex or being sexy. Something weird like that but it made sense, wish I could remeber all of it though.

edit

better add .//hack roots to it, its got a cat girl in it "tabby" and I have no clue what she is but she uses two giant catpaws as weapons

You forgot Hyper Police and a new one Loveless which have cat girls. There maybe more.

I thought those were Guys in Loveless, Ashfire (isn't it shonen ai?) (and I wanted to read that too...)

I like da Nekos, but they are a little overdone..lol

Because people like catgirls.

To elaborate a little more, Japanese LOVE cute things (especially stuff like bunnies and kitties) and well, they like their girls (as seen in anythign fanservicey :/). Put the two together and you get... the ultimate Japanese character?

I like cat girls^^ So cute! It's what got me into things like Tokyo Mew Mew and Chobits (although I didn't realize it was a robotic ear until later). Oh and don't forget Utawarerumono! Although they aren't necessarily "cats" :/ Eh, close enough^^

those were Cat ears? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! I thought they were just...ears...^^; (chobits)

I dare say the Japanese don't appreciate cuteness or girls any more than anybody else, on the whole...

Lots of them have tails as well ^^ Some also have claws and fur. It really depends on the artist and character design *shrug*

I like cats~ so cat girls/boys are good in my book. As long as they're properly dressed =_=;

I DIDN' T KNOW THAT. When I looked at the cover it looked like a cat girl with a guy. I even seen part of a anime about it.

I completely agree with you!!

Tch. Regular girls are way more overdone.

I love cat girls, but if you're looking for something much more unique, then...

There needs to be an anime where everyone is turned inside out. Now that's something that's not overdone. lol.

0_o Inside out? That's kind of disgusting.

As for cat girls, meh. They are cute sometimes, but overdone.

Haha, I like to draw lamb ears on some of my characters, is that strange? xP

Have you checked out Outlaw Star? Although Ashia's dub VA is kind of annoying at first, she is a funny character. She happens to be my favorite cat-girl.

there was one ok cat girl from Magic Knight Rayearth (she didn't always have cat ears tho)
