Chi's Sweet Home
Synopsis:
One day, a young kitten was on a walk with her mother and siblings; but soon she became separated from her kin. Struggling to find her way home, the kitten soon ran into a young boy named Yohei and his mother; and out of pity, the duo takes the kitten home with them. Unfortunately they discover that they are unable to keep pets in their home, and thus begin a quest to find her a new place to live. From playing with shoelaces to being washed, the cute kitten named Chi will have fun and get to know her new family – though all she really wants is to make it home to her feline mother.

Kappa no Kaikata
Kappas (Water Imps) and humans have a long history together in Japan, and in today's urbanised world, kappas can be purchased as pets. This is what a young man decides to do, and names his water imp 'Kaatan'. With no prior experience of keeping kappas, the new pet-owner consults a 'How to Raise a Water Imp' manual. He cares for, tames, and trains Kaatan, enjoying the imp's charms and patiently enduring his messes! Whether it's potty training or going out to play with other kappas, there's always an adventure for Kaatan and his new owner.

add recIf you're looking for a sweet (and short) anime about pets, I recommend Kappa no Kaikata and Chi's Sweet Home. Both are very lighthearted and funny accounts of the daily life of a pet and their owners. Those who liked Kappa no Kaikata or Chi's Sweet Home should watch the other.
Both of these series consist of short and humorous accounts of a pet and their owner. Both animal protagonists are extremely sweet and funny as they adapt to their new environments. If you liked the light-hearted side of one then try the other.
Mainichi Kaasan
Alt titles: Kaasan - Mom's Life
- TV (29+ eps)
- 2009 - ?
Being a mom is never easy, especially when the arrival of spring results in your children drawing weather maps on the walls and leaving their ice cream to melt in your bed! For Rieko Kamohara this is just a part of her daily routine. While her drunken husband works as a travelling photographer and is often away from home, Rieko has to try and balance her job as a manga artist with looking after her two young children, Bunji and Fumi. From looming deadlines and her own mother nagging her about her duties as a housewife, to being hounded by a middle aged man dressed as a fairy who claims to be the spirit of early education, it’s amazing that super mum Rieko manages to keep her sanity intact at all!

add recBoth Mainichi Kaasan and Chi's Sweet Home are slice of life comedies. They both share a similar visual style and if you enjoyed the nature of one, you are likely to enjoy the other.
Both Chi's Sweet Home and Mainchi Kaasan are laid back with simple plots and basic art. They are both from TV Tokyo.
Shiawase-sou no Okojo-san
After Okojo-san (a feisty ferret) deftly escapes from the local pet store, Siawase Apartment will never be the same! Armed with long claws and a razor-sharp wit, Okojo-san finds adventure with a mouse sidekick. This show has attitude!

add recThough Okojo and Chi's Sweet Home both involve animals living with humans in somewhat of a disconnect, Chi's Sweet Home is more adorable, with short 3 minute episodes showing "slices of life" from the kitten's point of view. Whereas Okojo thinks he owns the humans he lives with, Chi is a kitten, and therefore siimply distracted by things like milk and shoelaces. However, if you like animes about talking animals that no one understands, you would enjoy both.
Ocha-ken
Ryoku, Aru, Muha, Ron, Hana, Cafe and Chai are colorful tea-dogs who want nothing more than to enjoy each other's company and be friends. Along with the finicky tea-cats, this group of companions will learn valuable lessons about life and friendships, in this quiet 5-minutes-per-episode series filled with positivity and morals.

add recThough Ocha-Ken and Chi's Sweet Home are both primarily about animals, Ocha-Ken is much more obviously aimed at children, with short, simpl, slightly-insipid storylines. Chi's Sweet Home, on the other hand, while adorable is also a bit more entertaining, showing things from the kitten's point of view with the lack of a narrator. But if you're just looking for an anime with adorable characters, short episodes (3-5 minutes) and simple storylines, both are equally satisfying.
Ouran High School Host Club
- TV (26 eps)
- 2006
Ouran High is a school for the extremely wealthy or, in Haruhi's case, the extremely talented. But no amount of talent will help when Haruhi accidentally drops an eight million yen vase in a music room. The vase was the property of Ouran High School Host Club, a group of attractive young men who, for a fee, provide their time and affections for their lovesick clientele: the female students. Fascinated by this strange new specimen, a poor and clumsy commoner, they force Haruhi to work for them until the debt is repaid; but they get a lot more than they bargained for...

add recFor some far out reason when I was watching Chi's Sweet Home I associated Chi with Hunny-sempai from Ouran High School Host club. The cuteness factor just oozes from both characters. If you liked one you're sure to like the other.
