A series that includes a sexy cat woman and her municipals, a clueless nerd, a ruthless assassin with a pure heart, a former secret agent, a barmy uncle with military experience, deranged cultists and villainous dog people, would in most instances never work, and despite the original episode been rather difficult to fathom, the show, outrageously enough, becomes an entertainingly enjoyable ride soon after.

When it comes to Japanese Anime, it seems many people think of Pokemon, or Ghost in the Shell, and though there are animations directed towards young and adult audiences alike, there is another variety specifically targeting fan boys and adolescents with rampaging hormones. Similar to Date A Live, Heaven's Lost Property, Sekirei and Akiba's Trip Undead and Undressed, among many others, Cat Planet Cuties is not a show destined to be loved by all.

But for those who don't mind raunchy humor, occasional nudity, flirtatious references, sexually themed conversations and women bickering over their unanimous feelings for a certain someone, then this program will undoubtedly enthuse. Although none of the episodes are capable of going a full 21 minutes without articulating a reference to women's chests, unlike other programs, this occasionally seems more tasteful than vulgar. Although women are more often than not stereotyped as gorgeous babes with massive chests, the show does note on more than one occasion how one's inner beauty is most important.

Cat Planet Cuties follows Kio, a genuine nerd with a good heart and an even better mind, however when it comes to the ladies, he is ridiculously clueless. Already, this premise sounds familiar to other Anime in the genre, but wait! All of a sudden, Eris, who is the female embodiment of every Manga loving, cos-playing geek's fantasy, pounces into his life, and decides that for the duration of her stay, his place of residence will be her home away from home. Originally from the planet Catia, Eris has cute little ears, a long slender tail, and curves in all the right places - and she's just invited many of her friends over to play. With a combination of high ranking cat women and cute kitten assist-droids, Kio is sure to have his hands full.

On a minor level, Cat Planet Cuties could be representative of female empowerment, with a cast of strong women who are as smart as they are adept at self-defense. Comparative again to other Anime, rather than the lead male chasing after the girls, it is the other way round, which leads to a series of often humorous confrontations as alien and human alike bicker over their desires for romance.

When it comes to Anime on TV, graphics always vary. In the case of Cat Planet Cuties, the resolution is certainly near the top of the spectrum, with a brilliant use of color, and beautiful animation sequences. The soundtrack especially adds to the invigorating flavor, the opening and outro themes efficaciously illustrating the romantic ideas continuously been played upon.

With a combination of super sexy women, entertaining action scenarios, sci-fi spoofs, and hilarious sequences, I only wish there were more episodes of Cat Planet Cuties, which unfortunately only ever saw one season. This aside, tonight, why not curl up with kitty and watch intergalactic space divas with pussycat ears and tails fight for peace and equilibrium on Earth!

When I started watching this I thought 'Asobi ni Ikuyo' AKA 'Bombshells from the Sky!' would be a subpar fan service heavy series where what plot there was would just be an excuse to show the many female characters in a variety of revealing ways... thankfully it was better than that. I suspect the creators had a tick list of things that might appeal to a male viewer; guns, action, comedy, sexy aliens, cute little robots and a fair amount of fan service although that decreased in later episodes along with the comedy as the action increased. The protagonist of the story is a boy from Okinawa called Kio who meets an alien called Eris at his grandfather's funeral. Eris isn't totally alien of course; like most 'sexy aliens' in science fiction she looks almost human; the only obvious difference is that she has cat ears and a tail... she is a Catian who has just arrived on earth! Early on she finds herself being hunted by one group who believe that the first contact with an alien race should be with something more impressive and another who want to treat her as a deity! Kio gets caught up in the middle along with his two female friends Manami and Aoi; who unbeknownst to him were heavily armed agents! Later on a greater threat to Eris and her people emerges; the Dogisians... who are of course dog people.

I enjoyed this series a lot more than I expected to; the characters were fun even if they were somewhat cliché. The fan service wasn't over done and there was always steam or 'lens flare' obstructing anything too naughty, at least in the version I saw. The early episodes contained plenty of laugh out loud moments and as the drama increased in later episodes I was keen to see how they would thwart the dastardly Dogisian plans. The actions scenes were well handled and sometimes had a nice comic twist... Catian weapons don't kill; they just destroy anything non-living... such as clothing! If you enjoyed series such as 'Strike Witches', 'Sekirei' and 'This Ugly Yet Beautiful World' it is likely you will like this one too.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

The main character I wanted to kill the entire time, the characters lack any form of depth, lazy animation, a plot about as well written as crime/thriller porn and is the definition stupidity. The main character is a wimp and crappy individual, the romance subplot is composed of a girl who cannot seem to talk about her feelings with the main character (her childhood friend) who is clueless. They never explain anything or follow up on any subplots,and pull a scrubs freeze sequence ranting about copyright laws. They make humanity out to be the bad guys because they have no issue with killing, even though no one in the show is killed and cannot make a serious character. The jokes are about as funny as Adam Sanders current career. The finale is the main character learning about courage and realizing he can do anything if he believes hard enough resulting in the creation of rocket, no explanation, and the show wraps ups with all the female leads marrying the main character, need I saw more?

Horrible, people who have watched this show need to get a museum dedicated to teaching future generations about this shows horrors. It is horrible, the plot makes no sense, starts off with cat girls from space, then they get attacked by terrorists even though no one knows of there existence, then they fight a religion based on them which is run by a rich girl with a battleship, then dogs from space team up with the US military and try to kill them, the UN invades Russia with US tanks (only tanks no men or aircraft), the main character can make matter, and magic is real. No explanation, they even spend 15 minutes introducing a character in a mech suit fighting terrorists and never mention her again. This show is should replace water-boarding as an interrogation technique.
