Wow, I think I really fell in love with this type of street group of friends' type of show. Kisarazu Cat's Eye just made me love it right after the first minutes.

The general story is very simple, a little stupid but somehow serious. Since the drama is principally a comedy, every episode is on its own, and every episode's story has a ingenious structure:
The episode goes on with its story, usually ignoring one of the main characters who is seen in the background, with one or two little moments that don't make a lot of sense; in the end the gang reaches magically the ending and then the episode loops back to show the role of the character previously ignored, linking him to the non-sense moments (clarifying them) and explaining the ending reached before. This structure is just wow.
The show nicely handles the comedic part and mixes it with some awesome drama. I almost cried on the last episode.
The ending was rushed and the series is only 9 episodes long which is a little bit disappointing.

The acting was really well done. It has a weird kind of humor, especially in the facial expressions, which was priceless. The characters were really good, especially Ozzy.
The music really surprised me. The soundtrack is actually really good, the ending is awesome but the songs in the music episode were meh.

This series can be easily recommended to anyone, it's accessible, it's hilarious, it's not something specific to a kind of taste, it's just: watch it and enjoy it.

When I watched the first episode all I kept thinking was, "Wow, there is some serious cheesy acting going on here!" I'm not sure why I continued watching this series but I am so glad that I did. It was well worth it. The cast was pretty good (aside from the mega-cheese factor), the music was bearable (though a tad on the outdated side), and the plot was fairly unique. I highly recommend this series (you just have to push through the cartoon facial expressions, random singing, and low-tech special effects here and there).

Kisarazu Cat's Eye is an "ordinary" story about everyday life in an everyday town, complete with a bizarre set of characters, life, death, and crime. The humor in it is, in my opinion, a little deceptive, as it might make you believe you are watching a crack comedy. The show is filled with humor, for sure, but even more it is full of human feelings, emotions, and human experiences, especially as the main characters ponder how to live in light of the reality of impending death.

The only thing I found that really bugged me about this show is that there was a little more than a plethora of innuendo. I enjoyed the characters and the story, but the excess of sexual content did get old to me pretty quickly. That being said, the show has a large number of really great points and is generally enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light comedy with serious undertones. If nothing else, it is certainly a show which shines an extraordinary light on the incredible value that is the gift of a very ordinary life.

Kisarazu Cat's Eye is quirkly story about someone who enjoying his life with his friends as usual despite he has a cancer.It has craziness,heartwarming, and sarcastic at the same time in their daily life.It show the anger and frustation on every character. It must watch when you're 15+ because of sexual content.I really like the unusual plot of the episode.How the story work is great awesome.

The cast were actually good.The best character is Ozzy. I also like the Bussan and Miss Mirei.The friendship of Bussan and the gang is genuine.The meh characher for me is Mohko,i always annoyed when i see her.Sometimes i annoyed with the overeacting Master.At least ,their acting is good.The sound effect is just moderate.

I would reccomended you to watch KCE if you liked light unusual cancer patient person story.

I'll start by thanking the production team and the cast too. They did an amazing job bringing out this series. My favourite characters was Kohei-Kun but also his 4 friends were simply adorable. The support characters did also amazingly.
The stories were funny, educating and emotional at the same time.

I cried a lot! Especially the last episode. I just stopped watching to finish crying coz it brought back some memories of mine!
They were more than friends.. brothers I'd say is the appropriate term.
Japanese bromance are really unique. This was on my watch list for such a long time and now I think that I should have watched it the first time I saw it.

Definitely recommend this one to bromance lovers.

It is going to be a full mark for me! 10/10?

Very funny dorama with some touching moments. Great characters (Ucchi is by far the funniest!), elaborate plots and great performances by the whole cast. Nice music too. It reminded me a bit of "Lock, Stock, etc.", with a Japanese twist. I don't give it a full 10/10 only 'cause I think it could've been developed better here and there, but it's still a great dorama! p.s. After the dorama, they also made two movies, titled "Nihon Series" and "World Series", respectively; whereas the latter is ok, even funny at traits, the former is embarrassingly bad!
