Orphan Fansubs is pleased to present the first English version of Nemurenu Yoru no Chiisana Ohanashi (Little Stories for Sleepless Nights). This 3-volume OVA is based on the children’s stories of Yuko Hara, better known as the keyboard player/vocalist with the Southern All Stars. It tells twelve short stories about a cat, named Cat, and his friends, named Rabbit, Squirrel, Bear, Star, Mr. Moon, and Bandit Cat.

They have small adventures or just enjoy the pleasures of the days and nights.

The stories are simple, the narration soothing, and the animation unadorned. I found the show relaxing and sweet. YMMV.

Laserdisc rip on the Domesday Duplicator. FLAC audio. For more information, see this blog entry.

This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
