Cat Shit One A.K.A. Apocalypse Meow
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2010 12:29 am
At this latest meet of JAWS, some of us watched a new anime "Cat Shit One". I had Googled and looked in the book "Manga: The Complete Guide", and I got the correct title for the original manga version: it's called "Apocalypse Meow".
A couple interesting notes about "Cat Shit One": the depiction of Americans as rabbits is actually a pun on the Japanese word for rabbit. The Japanese word for rabbit is "うさぎ", which can be romanized as "usagi", or USA GI. A CG animated ONA (Original Net Animation) adaptation of Cat Shit One was developed by IDA Entertainment. So far, only one episode has been released on Japan's Youtube channel on July 17, 2010, with plans for a 12 episode series currently in production. An English dub will be released on Youtube in November 2010, and will be independently distributed on DVD and Blu-ray Disc via Amazon in North America in December 2010.
I should tell you that the above paragraph I got the info from was on Wikipedia. So the info might not be correct. Another note is that the manga is set in the Vietnam War and not in Middle East as is portrayed in the anime.
