Sons of Loki

Well, it’s been nice with the hanami.

Anyway, here’s the two finest minutes of animation ever produced (the first 30 seconds is cut off, but it’s toe-curlingly good up to the 1:30 mark, although your tastes may vary)

The voice acting by the sublime Norio Wakamoto just makes this scene mint.

「どうか？うまいか？トマトがうまいのか？」
“How are they? Are they … delicious? Are the tomatoes delicious?”
「うん！おいしいよ！」
“Yeah! They’re tasty!”
「こんなに赤いのに、ちよは美味しいという…！」
“Despite their being red, Chiyo says that they are delicious…”

｢本当の猫…」
“A real cat…”
「私は偽者の猫だと？」
“Did you just say I was a fake cat?”
「ごめんなさい！すいません！」
“I’m sorry! Please forgive me.”
「いや！」
“No!” (the delivery of this line alone is sumptuous)
「私は偽者ではない。」
“I am not a fake.”
「まあ、本当の猫と、そうでない猫が、いると言うことだねぇぇ？！」
“But, there are real cats, and cats that aren’t so; …Did you just say that?”
