What's On Tonight (Sunday): You've Cat to be kitten me right meow

Nyaight of the Living Cat 

Swing and a miss! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 6!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Nyaight of the Living Cat (CrunchyRoll, 3 a.m.). This anime finds a virus that causes humans to turn into cats if they cuddle with those adorable felines. Our protagonist, Kunagi, must navigate this world where snuggles are not ideal. I have good expectations for this -- being as anime as paws-ible with the absurd survival parody plot but also keeping up the creep factor and some subtle humor on societal norms. The manga this is based on is still active.

ElsewhereNautilus makes a pit stop, a Gilded deal is made, Roy Wood Jr. explores Home Run magic, a Small Town isn't safe, Mega-Brands give you the power of pictures, and Rick and Morty pen a screenplay.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
