The review of Chainsmoker Cat episodes 1-3 from Anime News Network describes the series as a deranged, raunchy comedy centered on chain-smoking cat-girl Yani Neko. Produced by Bibury Animation Studios, the show commits to depicting filthy habitats and noxious bodily fluids, while also weaving in an undercurrent of melancholy fatalism. Community scores range from 2.6 to 3.7.
Bibury Animation Studios' production of Chainsmoker Cat lavishes attention on every crinkling cigarette box and hacking spasm, creating a texture of grime that matches the show's depraved tone. The review highlights a scene where Yani Neko spits onto her landlord's head, and the smell is described as a mix of coffee, cigarettes, and old feet. Underneath the gross-out humor, the series hints at a darker reality: Beastfolk face discrimination, Yani lives in poverty, and her friends struggle with addiction. The community scores dropped from 3.6 and 3.7 in the first two episodes to 2.6 in episode three, suggesting a divisive response.
