Reception[]
Before the end of Snowjacked[]
Despite it not being aired yet and in the beginning of Snowjacked, it is highly demanded by viewers in response to the channels teaser trailer, along with Oishi High School Battle (Before It Aired). There was a high demand for this show to replace Pubertina or Snowjacked, which have both been negatively criticized, but since Snowjacked was recieving positive reception at the time and Pubertina is temporarily gone, the people who wanted Politicats are annoyed that it wouldn't come out until Snowjacked is over.
