Reborn as a Cat
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Everything that could go wrong in Miaomiao's week does, spectacularly. Betrayed by a friend, drowning in debt, and running from collectors, she falls off a building, and instead of dying, gets turned into a cat by some mysterious figure. Already a rough deal, but here's the kicker: she gets adopted by her own boss, Lu Chengze, the reserved guy she's been working under. Now she's living in his apartment, seeing a completely different side of him, and trying to figure out how to survive 100 days in this form before... well, that part's still unclear. This 36-episode ONA from Paper Plane Animation Studio leans into the romantic side of things without rushing it. There's genuine charm in watching Miaomiao process her feelings for someone who has no idea he's talking to his employee while she kneads biscuits on his couch. The workplace dynamics hit differently when one person is literally a house cat. The supernatural framing gives everything a ticking-clock tension, she's got 100 days, and the show doesn't let you forget it. If you liked the emotional warmth of Fruits Basket or the cozy transformation vibes of The Cat Returns, this scratches a similar itch. It's got some of that Nyan Koi energy too, where the cat premise sounds goofy but actually carries real weight. The romance is slow-burn, the tone stays gentle, and the concept is just weird enough to work.

the 3d animation still looks like a phone game but the drama with the arrest at the end really made up for the janky character models and Lu Chengxing finally getting caught was priceless
I cannot believe Lu Chengze actually went on the news and admitted to being a bully. It was such a ballsy move to save Xia Zhi and the way he looked so stoic entering that police car was everything
Ning Yu trying to poison the wine only to realize she was the one getting drugged was so tense. then Huo Ran kicking those doors open to save her really changed the whole mood
I can't believe Lu Chengsheng really kidnapped Xia Xia just to get to her brother and the way they beat up Xia Zhi was so hard to watch
The scene with the room covered in photos of Miaomiao was actually terrifying and it feels right that the creep is finally locked away in a hospital where he belongs
Ning Xianhua dumping those flowers in the trash was cold, but that slap she gave Xia Zhi felt like way too much even for her
Lu Chenze finally thanking Xia Zhi for his years of loyalty was such a highlight because that man is usually so cold and seeing him acknowledge his assistant really showed how much he changed
Seeing Hong Dan just standing there alone at the end really broke me she deserved better than that
Zhao Wen finally accepting his fate was heavy but felt like a true moment of peace for him
I just felt so bad for Chen Lin being sick and stuck inside and then seeing everyone else playing. It hit me hard
I just loved how Miaomiao finally stood her ground and declared her feelings for Chengze it was an amazing moment
I really felt Miaomiao's pain when her birth mother rejected her that was a gut punch
Ji Miaomiao's speech at the end was so powerful it really showed how strong she is
The animation really stepped up this episode everything felt so much more fluid and detailed it's a huge improvement from before
I loved seeing Tang Fei actually get his act together. It's about time he stepped up and started being responsible for once.
Man, I actually got chills when Lu Chengze said he remembered everything. The way he looked at Miaomiao was so intense.
That part where she recognized the black cat was so sweet I loved that
Going back 100 days is a wild card it could go anywhere
Those debt collector guys looked so stiff their movements were really off
Reborn Ep 22? It was there, kinda mid even at 2x speed, just a neutral blur before the next speedrun. 😴
