I watched the Exploting Kittens and it's okey. Not great but pretty pleasant and characters are enjoyable. There are some significant hiccups like the topical humor often fails to land because time between writing and now and animation can be really cheap at times but overall much better than I expected. Mostly the characters because they aren't stupid, mean for sake of edgy or overly stubborn.
The Godcat is a bit of a jerk and egotistical but nothing more. He likes being and is helpful and good even if he struggles at it. He does want to go back to heaven, get his old job back and finds being a cat annoying but he does genuinely likes his host family and Devil, and wants best for them.
The Devilcat is fun. She is a young girlboss who got her job trough nepotism and it shows. Her idea of evil is mainly unpleasant inconveniences. She isn't great at her job, many demons in hell look down on her, she isn't even sure if her job is what she really wants and she got sended to earth to learn evil because she isn't measuring up to her dad the previous Devil.
The host dad is really dorky but that's it. He's clearly happy with himself and is going forward in his life. He gets a promotion, stands up his bully, is able to help his kids grow as people and handle chaotic emergencies. He does struggle connecting with his wife, over valuing his hobbies and has clearly some daddy issues but isn't your standard bumbling dad.
The host mom has some conflicting feelings about choosing a family over her soldier career but she doesn't regret anything and is extremely committed to her family. She is pushy and underhanded in her caring and gets conflict with her kids and herself because her actions.
The daughter isn't portrayed as a genius, just into science and kinda mean. She clearly wants be right and rub her rightness to others. What makes her tolerable is that she actually willing to admit when she wrong and happy to help just sake of helping.
The son is probably my favorite character. At first he seems cringy those darn kids these days but no. He definitely has the best story. Him trying push past his internet infamy from embarrassing viral moment and dealing with a bully was honestly quite interesting and had some good twists.
My biggest issue was the second last episode. Dad's storyline was fine if predictable but the plot with Heaven and Hell joining and needing a new leader is was just painfully badly done. The god games really should have a multiple episodes thing, maybe even a full season. Something like an episode for each round, kinda like an anime tournament saga. Plenty of opportunities for character moments, world building and jokes. We didn't get that, we got just two montages. One of multiple pop culture references getting involved in the games and other killing them off. Until we just have the God and the Devil just like where the whole thing started from. That was going to happen regardless because they are the main characters but how it was done was just waiste of time and really boring.
