Nekopara is a sweet little seasonal anime based on the visual novel of the same name about catgirls living a peaceful life together with their human companions and working at a patisserie. They’re all named after dessert flavors and even have an adorable kitten friend who joins their family after she follows them home. What could possibly be horrific about such a pure, pleasant, and positively moe concept? Well... you’re about to find out.

Hidden underneath the candy-coated surface lies a sinister truth that, once discovered, will transform this show from a weekly dose of wholesome cuteness to a weekly reminder that humanity will never reach true salvation. This is... the existential horror of Nekopara.
