What's Michael?
ホワッツマイケル
Aired: 1988 - 1989
Slice-of-life comedy anime that began on TV Tokyo in April 1988, produced by Kitty Films Thunderbird. Adapted from Makoto Kobayashi's cat manga, the omnibus episodes weave gentle vignettes about the mysterious yet goofy orange tabby Michael, his human family, neighborhood cats, and everyday relatable mishaps. The show's charm lies in feline antics, anthropomorphized skits, and witty observations of how people and cats coexist. Coupled with Mami Yamase's catchy theme songs, the series became a beloved family-friendly cat-manga anime.
