Cat S**t One!

If this thread isn't family friendly enough for JPOD101, feel free to delete it mods. :) There is some mild language in the video title, and some cartoon violence.

Japan's Studio Anima publicized its computer-animated adaptation of Motofumi Kobayashi's Cat Shit One manga at Tokyo International Anime Fair this week. ADV Manga released three volumes of the original Cat Shit One manga under the title Apocalypse Meow in North America. The manga follows three American soldiers — Bota, Perky and Rats — during the Vietnam War. The trio just happen to be cute animals in the Cat Shit One recon group. The 12-episode anime series of "real and fierce combat by cute and fluffy animals" updates the manga's premise by making the three soldiers part of a modern private military company. In the first episode, the three attempt to rescue hostages, but end up surrounded by guerrillas demanding the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces in the area. (The original manga had an updated manga sequel with a similar premise called Cat Shit One '80.)

Anyway this is a new animated series which is set to be aired this winter on Japanese T.V. Personally, I cannot wait. This cant start soon enough, looks really funny and well put together.

The American title for this is "Apocalypse Meow." I think I like that even better. Also, I've heard that the Americans in this are rabbits because U.S.A. G.I. = usagi. Does anyone know if this is a term with history or did the creators just coome up with it?
