Nyan Nyan Factory is the studio behind the manga Yani Neko, a series about a chain-smoking slacker cat. The manga has been adapted into a TV anime that began airing in July. The anime is available on ABEMA, where episodes air weekly with a one-week free viewing window.
In June, the studio announced a second version of the anime, the Evil Dragon Liberation Version, which airs on AT-X and select streaming services alongside the On Air Version. This alternate cut respects the production intent of the original work, a move that stands out for a seasonal anime.
In August, ABEMA scheduled a free marathon of the first six episodes starting August 13 at 10:00 a.m., giving new viewers a low-barrier way to catch up on the series. All episodes in the marathon remain free for one week after broadcast.
