short and but long enough and cat soup be a very wild trip to watch . one day and i be just search though my on demand list through the anime section and come across it and and decide to watch it . i spend the whole time basically sit with my jaw agape . the whole time i be either vacant of thought and or have a fleet one which scream turn it off . but i do not . and actually and i be glad i do . the animation be stun . very artistic and odd and dark . i personally love it for the amazing animation and but the seemingly vacant story behind it be equally compel for myself . a young boy well and cat go in search of his sister soul . in the first part she lie sick in bed and and be soon pay by a visit from a sort of grim reaper . her soul be split in half . one be regain by the cat boy while the other half be lose . then the rest of the film be slightly lose to me and honestly . i expect they go back and and their world be . perhaps slowly fall apart . maybe her absence of soul be the answer behind this and for the rest of the film contain various stage of which the world in . first there a giant flood and and next it dry up into a bleak desert and and then everything freeze ( thanks to either what be god or fate and a you will see ) . then i believe they find the sister soul in the form of an orange flower . after that and the whole world disappear . haha and totally do not get that and but it send shiver down my spine each time . despite it seemingly random scene and i be sure there a deep message behind it if you watch it enough and do some research . personally and i love trippy stuff like this and and would love to spend time do that just to understand it . but to some people it probably not their cup of tea . it come off a highly disturb and so if you like your straight forward anime and this be not a film for you . if you have an open mind however and i highly recommend this movie .
