thank someone for saying that, that animal facts parody post that shows the Puma Sisters from Dominion as "proper" "original" catgirls was really getting on my nerves
very "we used to be a proper people blah blah moe is a sin"
>thinking Puma Sisters came first
>looks at Doraemon
IIRC the first anime catgirl was Chibineko from The Star of Cottonland (1978).
Who looks like this.
I mean I know that's not the same thing, but it's what comes to mind
would we call OG Neko Musume "moe"? genuine curiosity
I dunno, later versions are definitely moe, but the OG... I wouldn't, but maybe it's a modern mentality talking.
I guess she's like cute by certain standards of comparison to the rest of the yokai
