Is the Red Cat Ramen Anime Finished?
#

If you are wondering whether you can binge-watch Red Cat Ramen (also known as Ramen Akaneko) and get a complete story, the answer is no. The anime is currently ongoing.

The first season premiered on July 4, 2024. While the first season has aired, the story is far from over. According to recent news, a second season has been officially confirmed and is scheduled to debut in January 2027.

Because the anime is still in progress, viewers who watch only the first season will not have a satisfying conclusion to the overarching plot. If you can’t wait until 2027 to see what happens next, you may want to buy the Red Cat Ramen manga to continue the story through the original source material.

What is Red Cat Ramen About?
#

Red Cat Ramen is a comedy that follows Tamako, a woman who lands an interview at a very unusual ramen shop: one run entirely by cats. In a twist of fate, Tamako admits during her interview that she is actually more of a dog person than a cat person. Rather than being a deal-breaker, this confession gets her hired on the spot.

However, Tamako quickly discovers that her role isn’t what she expected. Instead of serving customers ramen, she finds herself acting as a dedicated caretaker for the feline staff. It is a lighthearted series that appeals to fans of quirky comedies and, of course, cat lovers.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, humorous watch, you can watch the anime on Prime Video (available via Crunchyroll collaboration in select regions).
