Cat Shit One: The Animated Series & Toys
With a play on "Private Military Contractors" (PMC), CAT SHIT ONE [www] sees cute wee bunny rabbits and other assorted critters loaded up with automatic rifles and RPG launchers engaged in mayhem and destruction. Glorious! Adapted from Motofumi Kobayashi's "Apocalypse Meow" manga into CG-animation by Studio Anima, and released online via IDA Entertainment's Youtube channel (which I cannot enjoy due to country-specific "Copyright" restrictions). But fear not, for our appetites for animation WILL be sated (Thanks to Anime44).
Click to view Part-1 + Part-2 for 12+ minutes each video - featuring the adventures of Packy and Botasky in their incursion into hostile territories to rescue hostages (populated by terrorist Camels in head-wraps). Of course not forgetting the Cat Shit One toy-figurines, yeh? *Awesum* (Now someone just needs to animate "Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew", and my teenhood dream can be realized.. heh). CLICK THRU for more Cat Shit One!
WHAT: "Apocalypse Meow is a three volume manga series written and illustrated by Motofumi Kobayashi. It was originally published in Japan as Cat Shit One in 1998 by Softbank Publishing, but was renamed for the US release to parody the title of the film Apocalypse Now, which also took place during the Vietnam War. It was published in the UK (printed in Canada) in 2004 by ADV Manga. It was also released in Poland in 2006, also under the title Cat Shit One. It has been released in France, Belgium and Spain, as Cat Shit One, by Glénat in 2006.[1]
In 2008 Kobayashi released a follow-up to Cat Shit One – Cat Shit One 80. Currently three volumes have been published in Japan.
A computer-generated original net animation series of Cat Shit One by Studio Anima began release on IDA Entertainment's Youtube channel from July 17, 2010, although is currently only viewable in Japan.[2] The animated version is set in the Middle East rather than Vietnam,[3] and a trailer indicates that the action takes place after 1991."
