Panda Niaga: Cat Version with New Illustrations Celebrating Cat Day
From the world of web animation, we have some very sweet news for the fans. The series Moving! Cat's Tale, which is based on the original creative work by Pandania, has released a special illustration today. This is to commemorate the "Cat Day" which falls on February 22nd. It is really a lovely way to celebrate our feline friends and the series itself. This series is definitely a gem, and many fans are already discussing why you need to experience this classic anime and manga gem before the new distribution starts.
The new artwork features Panda Nia's original illustrations where the main cast members are depicted as different types of cats. It is quite interesting to see how the characters have been reimagined in this "cat version." The cast includes some very popular names who have brought these characters to life:
- Kanako Miyamoto as Mikeneko
- Kana Ueda as Shironeko
- Yoshino Aoyama as Kijitora
- Hiro Shimono as Chatora
Special Campaigns and Social Media Updates
The illustrations were originally drawn by Pandani, and they show the voice actors' characters in a very cute cat avatar. In addition to these main character reveals, the official SNS accounts are also posting "cat illustrations" of various guest voice actors. It seems like the whole production team is getting into the spirit of Cat Day. If you want to see these in detail, you can definitely view them in high quality on their official pages.
Furthermore, to make "Cat Day" even more special, Pandania is running a unique campaign for the fans. They are offering to draw illustrations of the actual cats belonging to the winners' homes! This is such a great gesture for pet owners. To participate, you need to follow the official X account (@neko_mukashi_PR) of the anime Moving! Nekomukashibanashi. Then, you have to post a photo of your own cat along with a memorable story about them using the hashtag #My Nekomukashibanashi. One lucky person will be chosen at random to win this personalized illustration.
Collaborations and Real-World Events
The celebrations are not just limited to the digital world. There is a very exciting collaboration happening with the Wakayama Electric Railway's Tama Train. Starting from today, special trains created in partnership with Moving! Nekomukashibanashi will be in operation. These trains will feature the "Moving! Old Cat" head mark. Not just that, the entire interior of the trains will be jacked up with posters from the series. It sounds like a dream ride for any anime lover.
For those who want to take photos, stand-up panels of the characters are planned to be installed at Wakayama Station, Itakiso Station, and Kishi Station.
