Three ramen enthusiasts enter the shop.

At Ramen Akaneko, photography is strictly prohibited, so Sasaki warns a customer who tries to take a picture of their ramen.

Yet another cute, fluffy, and delicious episode.

I could imagine myself to be a troublesome customer, because I also would like to take pictures of those dishes and cute kitties.

Sasaki eating Kit-Kat in the car was amusing. He's probably the richest cat I have ever seen, hehe. It was nice to learn more about him.

And I really liked Krishna's backstory as well. She looked so cute when she was a little cub. :3

Mama san is such a nice lady. I hope to see her again soon.

Great episode!

Sasaki san being rich is not a suprise for me. He's already a royalty.

Loved the backstory of my beloved Krishna. She's adorable too at her younger form.

Sabu is a chad. He's clueless reactions are epic.

Yeah drunk customers are a headache to handle.

No photos, hmm they wanted to keep it simple and to provide quality service. Nice! ^⁠_⁠^
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

I think the no photo rule gone too far this time, you can't even take a photo of your own food? I'll just take the bowl outside, take a photo, and comeback inside.

Again, the after-credit animation should be the default mode for this fluffy anime.

Am I the only one who expect an actual rat employed at RAT BAR?

Another relaxing time while small moments sprinkling in the individual cats' and other characters' backstories and small details of their lives outside the restaurant continues. It helps a lot for the proprieter and rest of the feline gang that they have a small but loyal network of supportive and friendly humans on hand either from at least somewhere in the city or even in the same neighborhood in the neighboring businesses. You get the sense that these local businesses cooperate and collaborate closely together on some things.

Others may feel differently on this, but I personally find myself hoping at this rate that characters like the livestreamer Tenpiru don't return to bust up the peace.

Thank the gods this show exists. I'm not even a cat person (I prefer dogs, like our protagonist). It's still, just, so healing, every episode.

I want ramen.

Aha is Bar Rat run by mice?
Do all cats talk in this world?
It's cute as a button but Neko Ramen has more adult humor!

They implied that animals get paid to be in the zoo. That's pretty funny

I thought those three would be trouble, but Hana-chan's instinct was spot-on & Sasaki-san was able to anticipate those guys taking pix of the ramen.

Tamako subconsciously considered herself as part of the Akaneko family when she included herself as part of the shop when talking to Sasaki-san.

It's nice to find out Sasaki & Krishna's background stories. Now, I wonder how Hana-chan joined the Akaneko crew...

I don’t normally complain about animation but there is something so jarring and distracting about certain human characters in this show. The guy asking awkward questions in the first segment was especially egregious.

What the hell. Krishna's past was so sad. I was caught off guard and I'm a bit depressed now.

Ramen Akaneko accepting a customer's table full of ramen otaku serving up different tastes of Shoyu ramen, though their strict rules are there for obvious reasons. Tamako easily is caught by the temptation to eat salad, it's not because she has a diet.

Tamako catching a glimpse of Sasaki in a car, she really didn't to pry to affairs, but it's clear enough that he is the CEO, while Bunzo is the restaurant manager who serves alongside him, in a simple affair of just going home. But it's interesting to learn of Krishna's family being separate because the cub herself was just built different of a tiger that could not perform in the zoo, leading to Sasaki taking her in and where she's most happy now.

Even their next-door neighbour of Mama from Bar Rat, who used to brush the cats' fur and now runs a bar serving beer and gyoza, it would be asinine if they offered alcohol in the ramen restaurant. And Sabu...just goes on his own length to make his custom gyoza without Bunzo's input, but thankfully it tastes good.

I'm just happy that Krishna has a better family in the restaurant.

@phantomfandom Maybe Mama-san was born in the Year of the Rat?

This show is proof that you don't need flashy visuals to make a good anime, nailing the vibes and voice acting is more than enough to make an enjoyable anime.
