>>3 You're in for one hell of a ride.
I made my roommate (and inadvertently a bunch of people I regularly talk to here) to watch this. It's safe to say we had a conversation starter for a while. But in an odd way, it was very touching, but in the same way it was very...crazy. Lets see...Cat Soup is an extremely difficult film to describe, due to its awesome surrealism and almost nonexistant dialogue. It is more a work of art than an anime. There are many underlying themes, such as the transcience of man's existence, but it can be enjoyed without understanding any of them. The plot, though simple, isn't necessarily understandable without being explained. The main character, a cat named Nyatto, embarks upon a journey to save his sister's soul, which was ripped in two when Nyatto tried to save her from Death. She trails after him, brain-dead. They encounter many brilliant, mind-bending situations, beginning with a disturbing magic show...Oh man. Well that's pretty much it. It's only one episode, 32 minutes long. Doesn't take up too much time, check it out if you're ready for a mind fuck.
