I've seen this shared several times on Tumblr, Facebook and forums. But I have
never found what the source is.

ufo-ultramaiden-valkyrie
Where are these catgirls originally from?


Cropping the frame out, I found out via IQDB that this is probably from _UFO
Princess Valkyrie_. These cat girls appear to be the [Catgirl Maid
Squadron](http://ufovalkyrie.wikia.com/wiki/Catgirl_Maid_Squad), also pictured
here, who serve [Miss Sanada](http://ufovalkyrie.wikia.com/wiki/Sanada),
another catgirl who is the chief maid for the royal family of Valhalla.

The hair colours and approximate complexions also match up here, and the
"maid" designation explains the outfits in the GIF.

[_UFO Princess
Valkyrie_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_Ultramaiden_Valkyrie), which is
also known as _UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie_ follows Kazuto Tokino, who decides to
run his grandfathers's bathhouse. Unfortunately, in addition to his lack of
skills, an alien princess named Valkyrie from the planet of Valhalla destroys
the bathhouse and nearly kills Tokino after she crashes into it. To save him,
she kisses him, but in the process, she transfers half her soul to him (which
forces her to stay with him) and also becomes an eight-year-old.

The series was originally a manga, although it has also spawned an anime
adaptation. ([MAL

The exact frame used here is from episode 8 of the second season, a bit more
than four minutes in. Earlier, the maids are scolded by Miss Sanada, who
refers to them as "Maids A, B, C, and D", refusing to use their real names
(which she may have forgotten). Later, when the maids suggest that they take
Valkyrie to the mountains themselves, after she is unable to go on a school
trip there (because Tokino doesn't go to that school), Sanada praises them,
but still refers to them as "Maids A, B, C, and D". This prompts this "You're
so mean!" response in the subtitles in the GIF.
