CatShitOne - Thoughts?

[ShatteredBlack]

Hi fellow Escapees,

I stumbled across the pilot episode of the aforenamed series tonight. Apparently it's based on a comic set in Vietnam-war-era Vietnam. I'd like to get some other people's opinions on it, so if you have ~23 minutes to spare, have a squiz: http://www.animefushigi.com/cat-shit-one-episode-1

I'll post my own opinion a few posts down, as to keep this one neutral.

Enjoy!

EDIT: The episode is slipt over two videos - the top one is first.

Can't help but feel it would've been better if they were humans rather than animals. And if it was in english, and if the sniper one wasn't a little *****.

Ok, I just watched a little of it, and I'm quite entertained. I'll need to watch more before I make a judgement though.

...and if the sniper one wasn't a little *****.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on that one. Even though that'd probably be me in a similar situation...

Honestly, the manga is better. Much better when set in Vietnam. It's also called Apocalypse Meow in the English localization.

Yeah, I don't exactly 'get' the title either.

That was actually really really good. Well-paced, exciting action, very tense and a satisfying ending.

IF if you ignore the fact that they're freakin' bunnies and camels shooting each other up. In a weird kind of way that only makes it better, a bucketload more freaky though.

Apocalypse Meow? Holy shit, that wins.

Must be one of those weird Japanese translations.

My opinion of the episode is very much like Cowabungaa's.

Also, I love the art style - huge, anthromorphic animals that contrast sharply, but not jarringly with the fairly accurate weapons and particle effects.
One bit I thought looked really pretty was the shot of Packy's face down as debris rain down after an RPG detonation - you know the shot. And I loved the little nose twitch that Bota does at the very end.

If anyone can find anymore of this, I'm really appreciate a PM - I can only find this episode, which came out in August.

The title does nothing to prepare you for what you see.

The goggles do nothing!

So you were expecting something 2girls1cup-esque?

I do absolutly love the pun about the Americans being Rabbits. U.S.A G.I (Usagi is rabbit in Japanese)

I thought it was great been wanting to watch this ever since I heard about it and saw the trailer. Also Packy is so bad ass with his punishment.
