Episode 8 of Chainsmoker Cat introduces Kaoru's brother Shunran, a beatboxing catboy who steals his sister's underwear and announces he is her boyfriend. The Landlord gets trapped in a mochi-pounding time loop that kills the girls in a series of stupid deaths. The episode also runs slice-of-life skits, and the reviewer predicts Aru, whose alcohol addiction he calls genuinely concerning, will die on screen before the season ends. The show streams on Netflix and OceanVeil.
Episode 8 carries a community score of 3.9. The centerpiece is a mochi-pounding time loop that kills the girls in a series of stupid deaths, a sequence the reviewer says escalated the show's humor past what he thought Japanese standards allowed. Before that, the episode runs slice-of-life skits: Yani blows out a birthday cake with cigarette candles, and Kaoru befriends a classmate before Yani makes the moment weird with casual nudity. The reviewer closes by predicting Aru, whose alcohol addiction he calls genuinely concerning, will permanently die on screen before the season ends.
