!Tropes:!Tropes applying to him and his work:


Added DiffLines:

* FurryConfusion: Are the cats in his animations ''actual'' cats, anthropomorphic cats or humans represented using cat-like blobs? The inclusion of an actual quadruped cat in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt9ad64o2SI this short]], which has an actual nose compared to the noseless bipedal cats, implies the latter two options are more likely.


Added DiffLines:

* MediumBlending: Some shorts, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFiHv3MFme0 this one]], feature animated characters interacting with a live-action background.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cp_Kq6_fP8 This short]] references a trick from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'' where shooting an egg at Naval Piranha before she grows giant allows the player to [[SkippableBoss skip the boss battle]].


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlyVoiced: While the AuthorAvatar cat always speaks, it's unclear if the other cats can speak; in some shorts, the cats can speak Japanese, while in other shorts, they only communicate in meows or don't make vocalisations at all.

Although he started in 2016 by posting his animations on Twitter, he would move to Youtube in 2018; most of his activity has been moved there, though his Twitter account is still updated and animations are often posted to that account first before being posted on Youtube.

Aside from the animation shorts, Karameru has also made a few series:

* ''Demon Core-Kun (デーモンコアくん, 2019)'': A series featuring an anthropormorphic, talking [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core Demon Core]].
