I've been watching it at Crunchyroll and I'm on episode 38. I love it to death. Chi cracks me up.
Anyone else watching it?
Also, someone explain to me why it's also classed as Seinen.

Seinen (and shounen, shoujo, josei) denotes a target demographic, not a genre, and is generally indicated by the target demongraphic of the magazine a work is run in.
For example, not all romance is shoujo. There's a difference between shounen romance and shoujo romance. Usually, you can tell the difference in this case by whether the main character is the guy or the girl.

I know, but seinen generally means males 18- 30. And well, Chi's Sweet Home is a bit younger than that... I mean, it just seems a bit strange XD I'd think it would be kodomo.

I read that too, but that they've flipped it
I didn't know anyone flipped manga anymore D:

The Chi's Sweet Home manga actually runs in Kodansha's Weekly Morning, a seinen magazine that also runs series like Vagabond and Naoki Urasawa's Billy Bat...so, yeah, it's seinen.

So it's seinen because of the magazine it runs in?

Basically, yes.
I haven't watched it myself- Tried, but it wasn't really to my taste. Though I have a friend who adores every single episode.

Oh, I fully realized I'm watching the second season. Of course, Crunchyroll doesn't have the first season
