YMMV / Chi's Sweet Home

• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Popular enough in France, which was among the first countries outside of Japan to have it published, that they bothered to do a dub for all seasons. There was a big convention event at Japan Expo in collaboration with TV Tokyo to promote the 2016 series, which was featured in an episode.
• Moe:
  • Chi is ridiculously cute, being a wide-eyed, tiny, baby-talking kitten who just wants to cuddle up to her family.
  • Yohei is a sweet, playful toddler who becomes close friends with his new kitten.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: Seeing an adorable baby kitten find her home with a family is guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: It's not immediately clear what Chi's gender is, not helped by Mr. Yamada calling her a boy early in Volume 1. Easily justified in the story as the female Chi is only a few months old and gender identification can be difficult at a young age.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Zig-Zagged. The series is about a cute little kitty cat and it's in a...seinen manga magazine. There is nothing actually inappropriate for young kids in the series though (indeed, the anime aired on preschool channel JimJam alongside such fare as Hello Kitty and Angelina Ballerina), so how the heck a manga as child friendly as this ended up in a seinen magazine will be a Riddle for the Ages. (Fridge Logic suggests that the staff of the magazine probably thought Chi's Sweet Home would serve as a palate cleanser for the readers in case the seinen mangas got too violent for their taste). The animated series on the other hand was marketed towards children, which gave it a morning time slot. This isn't even the first family friendly cat manga to be published in Weekly Morning, as there was also What's Michael in the 80s, though its more of a gag comedy than the candy cute Chi.
