Cat Soup

[420sublime420]

Now dont get the wrong impression, I do not like anime WHAT SO EVER. There is this one, though, that I fell in love with. It's called "Cat Soup". It's only 25 mins and the creator was SOBER during the making of it. It's one of the trippiest(?) things I have ever seen. I have never met anyone who has ever seen it, so if you have, please give me feedback on what you think. If you havent seen it, I suggest you buy it on-line, even if you arent a fan of anime. It's definitly worth the money

This is definitely one of the most beautiful, trippiest, disturbing half hours of film I think I've ever seen. The Mouse & I love our manga/anime, & this is up there amongst the classics. Not for the easily freaked out, but well worth tracking down, & watching more than once...

Don't worry. I've got a cat who's potentially dying of cancer (cross your fingers), and I almost laughed out loud when I saw the thread title.

edit: oh wait. you're not worried that you'll be censured for animal cruelty. I took your "don't get me wrong" wrong. Well yeah...wtf is with the animé thing, dood? j/k

I like cartoons! I like cats! I like soup! It's the perfect combination! Was editing links due to there being shops involved!

Me, too. I was just giving 420s420 some crap. My cat, however doesn't seem to care for soup. Out of many choices, he turned it down while he was recovering from surgery. My wife says she thinks she's seen this (cat soup) before and I'm interested to see it, thanks to the OP.

I think we can all agree with Micklemouse, it's definetly disturbing. It has to be one of the coolest short films SWIM has seen though. The music couldn't be more perfect for every scene, and the lack of dialogue makes it better.

Hey Micklemouse, You know if you like manga and anime and such... you do realize you have a friend in Japan. If you ever need anything looked up, or some hard to find stuff (I go to Akihabara more than I like to admit) send me a PM and we can work something out.

Cheers TXP! What does the kanji translate as?

lol. I basically said: "do you speak japanese. I can speak a little. I only like manga a little, but as you are a friend I would be willing to help you find it. And talk to you later."
