Light Up and Chill Out: 'Chainsmoker Cat' Sets a Lazy, Nicotine-Stained Vibe with Simulcast on OceanVeil

No Money, No Morals, No Motive—Just Pure, Unadulterated Trash-Cat Daily Bliss.

OceanVeil, the premier anime streaming service built by fans, for fans, is ready to light up your summer lineup with a puff of absolute chaos! We are thrilled to announce the simultaneous streaming release of the viral internet sensation, "Chainsmoker Cat" (Japanese: Yanineko), starting on July 2nd at 9:00 (PST/PDT)!

Get ready for an unapologetically lazy, wonderfully trashy slice-of-life that breaks all the rules of conventional anime. If you're looking to dive for anime and leave with a slightly smoke-scented secret, this is the perfect addition to your late-night cruise.

CAUTION: ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This show contains trace amounts of nicotine, garbage, and unidentifiable biological fluids. OceanVeil is not responsible for any secondhand smoke or visual odor. Proceed with maximum laziness.

Welcome to a world where humans and anthropomorphic beastmen coexist. Sound majestic? Think again. Meet Yani Neko (Satou Yaniko)—a chain-smoking, freeloading beastman cat who spends her days doing absolutely nothing of substance.

She has zero money, zero life skills, and zero respectability! Her manners and morals were discarded long ago, stamped out right alongside her endless pile of cigarette butts. She's smelly, she's dirty, and she is an absolute, unmitigated slacker. Her daily routine? Light up, puff, gossip with her equally questionable neighborhood trash-cat friends, and accidentally catch fire. Yet, somehow, against all odds, she's living her absolute best life.

It's gross, it's chaotic, but honestly? It's a little inspiring. Having completely blown up and gone viral on social media, this degenerate masterpiece is finally crashing onto television screens! (And honestly, if we get scolded mid-broadcast... sorry about that, nya!)
