The official website for the television anime<\/a> of Nyan Nyan Factory<\/a>‘s Chainsmoker Cat<\/a> (Yanineko<\/a>) manga announced on Tuesday that the anime will have two versions, an “Evil Dragon Unleashed” version that “respects the work’s directorial intent” on some of the episodes, and an “On-Air” version that is made for terrestrial television broadcast.<\/p>\n

The “Evil Dragon Unleashed” version will be available on the AT-X<\/a> premium subscription channel and the AnimeFesta<\/a>, DMM TV<\/a>, Fuji TV On Demand<\/a>, Hulu<\/a>, Netflix<\/a>, and Anime Times<\/a> streaming services in Japan. (AnimeFesta and Anime Times will also have the “On-Air” version.) 16 other streaming services will only offer the “On-Air” version in Japan. <\/p>\n

The original manga contains toilet humor and gross-out comedy.<\/p>\n

Seven Seas<\/a> is releasing<\/a> the manga in English, and it describes this comedy set in a world where humans, catgirls, and similar species co-exist:<\/p>\n

Yani is a catgirl with a seriously bad smoking habit. She smokes so much that her apartment smells like ash and is littered with cigarette butts\u2014and plenty of other trash! Every time she tries to quit, she becomes weak to the cravings and gives in almost instantly. Will she ever get her life together, or is she doomed to live as a chainsmoking slob forever?\n<\/p>\n

The anime stars:<\/p>\n

Studio Lemon<\/a>‘s Taku Kimura<\/a> (Kairy\u016b to Y\u016bbinya-san<\/a>, Star Wars: Visions<\/a>‘ “Tattooine Rhapsody”) is directing the anime at Bibury Animation Studio<\/a>, and Takashi Aoshima<\/a> (Himouto! Umaruchan<\/a>, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You<\/a>) is writing the scripts. Riki Matsuura<\/a> is designing the characters, and Keiichi Suzuki<\/a> (Saint Young Men<\/a>, Tokyo Godfathers<\/a>) is composing the music. Rock band Wasureranneyo<\/a> will perform the anime’s opening theme song “Nanmonee,” while Necry Talkie<\/a> will perform the anime’s ending theme song “Kemuri to Blue” (Smoke and Blue). Other staff members include:<\/p>\n

The anime will premiere<\/a> on July 2 at 24:30 (effectively, July 3 at 12:30 a.m.) on the Tokyo MX<\/a> and BS11<\/a> channels. The anime will start airing on AT-X on July 25.<\/p>\n

Nyan Nyan Factory has been serializing the manga in Kodansha<\/a>‘s Young Magazine<\/a>, and Kodansha published the 12th compiled book volume on May 20. Seven Seas published the third volume in English on June 16.<\/p>\n
