The short film/ova was great one of my favorites. I haven't read any of the manga yet but I'm downloading the TV shorts and will probably read through them once I've watched em all.
Meant to bump the thread but forgot I had autosage on, sorry.
>>151813756
Just letting you know the TV shorts are completely different from the OVA
The backstory behind the author is a little disturbed, but probably no less than the manga.
>>151814083
I expected as much, thanks for the heads up though.

Didn't she like abuse her husband and all that? I mean combined with her suicide and what she wrote about, I think she might've had some serious personality disorder.

Nekojiru-sou was the thing that got me into anime, and still one of my favorites. Not a big fan of Nekojiru Gekijou though.

>Nekojiru Gekijou
But that's the original anon.
>>151815594
I know, but I watched Nekojiru-sou first and prefer its imagery.
>>151815720
>prefer its imagery
So essentially you prefer thepretentiousversion?
>>151815753
Pretty much, less cruelty and gore too.
>>151815783
But that's the whole charm of nekojiru.

>nyako's claw as a middle finger
I love it
I thought the short movie was kinda boring but I like ougi.
I watched cat soup once and hated it
>>151816823
Why?
she killed herself
>>151816916
He was probably scared.
>>151816945
Apparently the author wrote in her will to play SAW Volume II at her funeral.
>>151814175
>>151816945
Ran in front of a fucking train.
Shit is so metal.
>>151816916
>>151816948
It was boring

I know the movie means absolutely nothing and that it's only partially based on the manga by a bit of plot and that's it, The imagery is wang.
But I always cry at the end credits watching how they repeat and interrupt again and again at the tune. I remember reading that the credits were an ode to the only time NekojiruY watched his wife genuinely happy, on a beach trip they had years ago.
Also, rare dvd comentary.

but it does mean something
it's a tribute to the author. not necessarily by aping the manga's style and approach but by attempting to get at the essence of nekojiru from a different viewpoint.
>>151817902
Ah I wish Yuasa was on that commentary as well.
>>151817627
>>151817627
I'm convinced the guy who created Shin Chan killed himself, and made it look like an accident.
>>151817902
>I know the movie means absolutely nothing
Isn't that kind of the undercurrentof Nekojiru stuff in general, a sense of meaninglessness?
>The imagery is wang.
?
>>151818177
More like the Japanese media covered it up, to save face.
I loved the nekojiru animation shorts. The innocent cruelty is disturbing, yet adorable.
I thought the film is actually really beautiful. I can tell they were heavily inspired by the Pink Floyd "Wall" film, and the story/art direction feels like one big acid trip. The soundtrack is great as well.
>>151812886
love it? is the whole manga translated yet?
It's weird in a good way and also good in a weird way
