About Cat Soup

Here is what Cat Soup (ねこぢる草) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, horror and psychological anime by J.C.STAFF (2001). In short: 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.

Soon after, 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 quest to save his sister's soul, which was ripped in two when Nyatto tried to save her from Death.
