Neko to Ryuu locks a July 2026 TV premiere, and the first anime materials are here: a serene teaser visual set deep in the forest and a teaser PV narrated by Takehito Koyasu as the cat-raised dragon “Neko-ryu.” If you’re new, this gentle fantasy centers on a dragon brought up by magic-using cats—warm, small-scale tales about care, memory, and everyday wonder.
July 2026 window confirmed as the teaser visual sets the tone
The key image shows Neko-ryu by the water’s edge; in the surface reflection lies his true draconic form as pale spirits gather—quietly signaling the show’s blend of tenderness and myth. The official site highlights the July 2026 broadcast target alongside today’s reveal.
A gentle fantasy of cats and a dragon: meet “Neko-ryu”
Raised by cats in a deep forest, the dragon protects generations of kittens. The cats call him “羽のおじちゃん,” while humans speak of him with awe as “猫竜.” It’s a cozy, folkloric frame that favors relationships and everyday magic over spectacle.
