And you thought mystery writers were strange...
Only in the world of anime could cuddly animals put the geopolitics of war into perspective. Check out Wikipedia's reference to Apocalypse Meow, which provides the backstory to this unlikely epic and a handy guide to the nationality represented by each species of animal featured in the anime. Maybe the Senate Foreign Relations Committee should start watching cartoons...

Though clearly more horrifying, this reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign where animals are shown puffing cigarettes. Having another sentient creature parody the counter-intuitive activities of "civilized" humans shows just how ridiculous they are.
Still think they're strange.
Keith, I confess I was struck speechless when I first saw this last night. But keep watching, it pulls you in. Pretty soon you'll be asking your friends to call you "Packy".
Cringeworthy. Brings to mind the pet jeopardy rule: never hurt the dog, even if you kill all the humans around him. No wonder it's so effective.
Though I must admit I never quite got the whole anime thing.
I thought it was fake.
I am just finishing up reading Watership Down, so if you want to read Rabbits at War, read that! I see it as a kind of allegorical tale (pardon the pun) about WWII, with the Efrafa as the Nazis.
But that Cat Shit One anime... just plain odd!
