Synopsis

Life at Kio Kakazu’s home has been anything but quiet since Eris—a Catian visitor from another planet—took up residence on Earth. Eager to understand humans and their everyday culture, she throws herself into local pastimes with open curiosity.

Her latest research project involves board games, roping Kio and several girls who are already vying for his attention into the fun. To make the matches a little more “educational,” they agree on embarrassingly personal items as prizes, turning friendly competition into a lively mix of rivalry, awkward stakes, and shared laughs.

Otaku Consensus

Come Drop By lands as a compact fan-disc extension of Cat Planet Cuties, leaning into AIC PLUS+'s clean, smooth presentation, self-aware harem timing, and the franchise's oddball habit of pairing ecchi comedy with sci-fi texture. Its sharpest appeal is pacing: one episode, one comic setup, and no wasted pretense. The recurring drawback is also the sales pitch: the fanservice and embarrassment comedy are so foregrounded that viewers looking for the series' gunplay, gadget play, or broader sci-fi worldbuilding get only a snack-sized dose.

Why You Should Watch

Watch Come Drop By if you want the Cat Planet Cuties cast in a low-commitment, fanservice-first OVA rather than another plot-heavy alien encounter. It is built for viewers who like harem rivalry when it is openly silly, self-aware, and a little shameless, with the personal-item stakes giving the comedy a party-game rhythm instead of a battlefield rhythm. If To Love-R is your comfort zone for extraterrestrial ecchi chaos, this scratches a similar itch in a shorter, more contained form; if you enjoy Excel Saga-style genre teasing, the franchise's sci-fi references and western-media nods add extra flavor. The real hook is how the episode turns familiar romantic tension into a structured contest, letting the cast bounce off each other without needing a new arc or villain.

Key Characters

E
Eris(VA: Kanae Itou)
Eris is the franchise's engine of cheerful cultural misunderstanding, and Kanae Itou's bright delivery sells her curiosity without turning her into a one-note gag.
A
Aoi Futaba(VA: Kana Hanazawa)
Aoi gives the harem dynamic its sharper emotional edge, with Kana Hanazawa playing her as more flustered and guarded than the episode's teasing surface suggests.
K
Kio Kakazu(VA: Mutsumi Tamura)
Kio functions as the rare harem center voiced with an understated, reactive softness by Mutsumi Tamura, making the louder personalities around him read even bigger.
M
Manami Kinjou(VA: Haruka Tomatsu)
Manami is the competitive childhood-friend presence fans watch for sparks, and Haruka Tomatsu gives her banter enough bite to keep the room from becoming too cozy.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
The episode was produced by AIC PLUS+, and reviews of the franchise's video presentation single out the clean image, relatively sharp linework, and smooth animation without distracting ghosting or judder.
2
As a one-episode OVA aired on June 15, 2011, Come Drop By is structured like an extra chapter rather than a second season pitch, concentrating its comedy into a single social-game scenario.
3
The franchise's tonal signature is the deliberate clash of harem fanservice with sci-fi garnish: reviews note not only nudity and romantic teasing, but also gunplay, melee beats, and futuristic gadgets elsewhere in the series.
4
Its humor has a self-aware streak that fans have specifically praised, including references to western media, which helps separate it from harem comedies that play every trope completely straight.
5
The 15+ content profile is accurate to the viewing experience: the appeal is not just cute catgirl comedy, but a mix of fanservice, embarrassment games, and occasional action-coded material inherited from the main series.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: Come Drop By is a single completed episode, making it one of the easiest Cat Planet Cuties entries to sample without committing to a full cour.
Fun fact 2: The Japanese title is Asobi ni Iku yo!: Asobi ni Oide, preserving the playful invitation phrasing of the parent series while marking it as a side entry.
Fun fact 3: On MyAnimeList, the OVA sits at a 6.72 average from 25,218 votes, with a popularity rank of #3613 and an overall rank of #6494, reflecting a niche but measurable post-TV audience.
Fun fact 4: The credited main cast brings together Kanae Itou, Kana Hanazawa, Mutsumi Tamura, and Haruka Tomatsu, a notably recognizable early-2010s voice lineup for a single-episode harem OVA.
Fun fact 5: Critical blurbs around Cat Planet Cuties repeatedly emphasize the unusual combination of cute catgirl comedy, ecchi material, and respectable action animation, which is why the series is often remembered as stranger than its title suggests.
