Some anime-manga cats

[asakiyume]

I'm teaching a twelve-year-old a little Japanese. She loves anime and manga, so I brought together these four cats from anime and manga for us to use in practicing この、その、あの (this, that, and that over there), as well as "Who is this cat?" and other fun things.

Who is this cat?

One is Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, one is Luna from Sailor Moon, one is Kamineko, from Azumanga Daioh, and one is Kyô, from Fruits Basket, in cat form. Do you know (or can you guess) who's who?

I know Luna and I can read the label on the black cat, so after that it's a matter of guessing at which cat matches the art style of which anime I haven't seen. (My guesses: Fruits Basket above, Azumanga Daioh below.)

What a fun idea for a teaching game!

You too have used good reasoning to reach the correct answer :-)

Sometimes it works!

I really need to watch Kiki's Delivery Service. I never have, which seems a very silly gap in my Studio Ghibli knowledge. (I haven't seen everything they've done, but a number of them, anyway.)

It's a good one--a great finding-your-place-in-the-world movie, with some really nice supporting characters.
