The WhatsNext verdict
Nekopara Extra is a polished, affectionate visual novel whose animated catgirl cast is the whole appeal. Play it for cozy character time and unusually expressive E-mote presentation, not for branching choices or substantial plot.
What it does best
Catgirl animation with unusually vivid life and personality
Characters you fall in love with
A warm catgirl comfort watch
What might put you off
Extremely short and passive
Overtly sexualized anime presentation
The setup
What you are walking into
About half a year before the opening of the patisserie, La Soleil where the catgirls work with Kashou. Back when Chocola and Vanilla were still kittens when they first arrived at the Minaduki household and before they opened up to the other catgirls. It's then that they gradually began to call Kashou "master", experienced their first Christmas, and shared a promise with Kashou. This is an extra episode as part of a stretch goal from the Nekopara OVA crowdfunding campaign!
