\"Nekopara<\/center><\/p>\n

In the world of Nekopara, cats are not the fluffy critters we know and love, but human-like girls complete with twitching ears and slinking tails. Of course in this universe catgirls can be kept as pets too, but patisserie chef Kanshou gets more than he bargained for when he gets involved with the five Minaduki sisters! If you\u2019re a fan of feline fanservice and general CGDCT goodness, you can\u2019t go wrong with Nekopara!<\/p>\n

Interspecies Reviewers (\u7570\u7a2e\u65cf\u30ec\u30d3\u30e5\u30a2\u30fc\u30ba)<\/h2>\n

\"Interspecies<\/center><\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t do a roundup of 2020\u2019s winter anime season without mentioning Interspecies Reviewers, undoubtedly the most controversial release from the period. Deemed too explicit, Interspecies Reviewers original run was cut on several platforms with only a few episodes making it to air. While a blanket ban on a series is unusual, it\u2019s not completely unsurprising in the case of Interspecies Reviewers, considering the series is literally about reviewing succubus-run brothels. But if you want to delve into the world of fantastical sex work, then Interspecies Reviewers is the title for you!<\/p>\n
