"Kawaiisugi Crisis", a work depicting the interaction between aliens and Earth creatures, will be made into an anime in April. This work has been a hot topic since the beginning of serialization, and the highlight is the aliens who are fascinated by the charms of Earth animals. In particular, the scene where the main character, Liza Luna, is captivated by a cat is a highlight. Various terms appear in the work, and if you know them, even those who have never read the original work will definitely enjoy the anime. This time, I would like to explain the terms that appear in the work!
The 3 Cutest Creatures in the Universe
There are many cute animals on Earth, and the main character Liza's heart is also invaded by cats at will. In fact, there are creatures that are said to be cute in the space empire "Azathoth" where Liza and her friends usually live. Three creatures that are considered particularly cute in space are "Manulu", "Doftosus" and "Zula". All of them have a simple appearance, so Liza compares them to cats and says that they "look like graffiti". In fact, compared to animals on Earth, they seem to have a much simpler design. Manulu is so popular that it has been ranked first in the cutest animals in the universe ranking for 128 consecutive years, and is evaluated by Earthlings as "grossly cute" and "soft and cute". Doftosus is a dragon-like animal that can spit fire, but it can burn the inside of its mouth. It does not seem to be friendly to humans, so it does not seem to be suitable as a pet. Zula has a round, spherical body, and many parts of its ecology are mysterious even in space, and this mystery is what makes it popular.
Other Space Creatures
There are other creatures in space. When Liza was a child, she kept a pet called "Penilla", which has the texture of a deflated balloon. Because it has poor crisis management skills, it will die quickly if it is not kept by someone. It is not that it is suitable as a pet, but rather that it is difficult for it to survive if it is not kept as a pet. There are also other creatures such as "Giguru", which has an exotic appearance with a strange color, and "Mokoro", also known as "living tofu".
Space-related terms
There are also many terms related to the space where Liza and her friends live. In space, there is an empire called "Azathoth", which controls many stars and boasts a developed civilization. In addition to aliens with cat-like hair like Liza, there are also types with horns and three eyes. In reality, there are people with different characteristics. For safety, Liza and the interstellar research team are accompanied by an army called the "Azathoth Army Combat Squad 16" on the spaceship, and although their combat ability is very high, they actually have very little to do because Liza and Amato are excellent.
Terminology in the Earth World
The world of Earth also has its own terminology. On Earth, Riza lives in an apartment called "Maison Arahabaki," where all the residents have some kind of pet. The reason Riza fell in love with cats was because of a cat cafe called "nyanday." It's a name that's full of cat cafe vibes, isn't it? This world also has its own social networking sites and video posting sites. In the story, she mainly uses an SNS called Switter, which has a similar name to Twitter, to post photos of her pets. The posts are called "sweets." There is also a video posting site called Yantube, which is similar to YouTube, and Liza and her friends opened a channel to introduce their pets.
Summary of explanations of the terms used in the work
Various terms related to space and earth appear, so if you prepare yourself with this article, you should be able to enjoy the anime even more! There is still some time until the anime airs, so if you are interested, why not read the original work? That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
