Chainsmoker Cat Episode 11: Story, Cast, Staff & Stills

Episode 11, titled ニャーたち in 京都にゃ, begins when Ochinpo Tatsuro proposes a trip to Kyoto and Nara. The apartment residents set out together, including a ride in a cat rickshaw and a visit to Nara Park.

There they meet a talking Deer King. A conversation about where the animals came from and where they are going ends abruptly when an urgent bodily need takes over.

The official synopsis describes the residents riding a cat rickshaw, taking rice crackers from the deer, and treating a shrine with the same irreverence they bring to apartment life. The excursion then meets the Deer King, a figure who carries ancient wisdom and can speak with the group.

That change in scale briefly opens a philosophical conversation about the animals' origins and destination. The story cuts it short with a sudden, very physical interruption, returning the episode to its everyday comedy.

The official credits list a script by Takashi Aoshima, storyboard and direction by 板庇 迪, and chief animation direction by Chika Noumi and 曾品喬. Necry Talkie created the Episode 11 eyecatch.

The official site also released non-credit opening and ending videos for this episode. Necry Talkie performs a cover of the opening theme なんもねえ, while Wasureranneyo performs a cover of the ending theme 煙とブルー.
