Transcript
- 0:05What's up y'all? Welcome back to Danny to talk.
- 0:08I'm your host, Robert. And today, today, we're going to
- 0:11talk about a absurd manga called night of the living cat,
- 0:21specifically vol 1. So this series of the story is
- 0:28done by Hawkman and the art by Mecca, Roots now.
- 0:37This series. The first thing that comes to
- 0:42mind when I was like, reading through this volume, it's kind
- 0:48of the same question I had in a different way of back when I
- 0:53checked out, rooster fighter, which make sure y'all check out
- 0:57that review that video and episode.
- 0:59But but why, why do sometimes the most unsuspecting series
- 1:06have some of the most detailed art?
- 1:12Like, look at that. Like like like why, why is this
- 1:16cat apocalypse manga? Have such.
- 1:24Detailed art now like the title suggests and what you might
- 1:30figure, but this is basically a zombie apocalypse situation
- 1:36except for when people get attacked, they don't turn into
- 1:41zombies. That they turn into various cute
- 1:45and adorable cats. Now, there are some weird virus,
- 1:50whatever that happened, because I guess somebody was doing some
- 1:52experiments or something, or they are Are they affected some
- 1:55cats? And basically, if you come into
- 1:58physical contact with the cat, then you or you yourself will
- 2:02turn to a cat and that is basically it.
- 2:07Now, like I mentioned, this is only volume 1.
- 2:11So I don't really know. How long this can, and, or will
- 2:21go. Because, to be honest, there
- 2:23wasn't like, like a strong plot thread that went through this.
- 2:29It was just, hey, you know, the as they call it, the cat Lambda
- 2:36D. Began and cats are slowly taking
- 2:41over the world, one cuddle at a time, but I Say I feel like this
- 2:48probably would have been a solid like little bit thicker single
- 2:53volume story if they wanted to do that because honestly I don't
- 2:57really have any immediate desire of like yo I need volume to
- 3:02right now, it is just more so hey when it comes around next
- 3:08volume or whatever, I might look into it and check it out but
- 3:11it's definitely not one that I am like chomping at the bit to
- 3:15go out and get by. Like I said, it was still a very
- 3:19fun and adorable read, just simply because of, you know,
- 3:24people being like man. You know I really want to cuddle
- 3:28the cats but I can't because I'm gonna turn into a cat.
- 3:32And so it just has a lot of like funny moments like that, a lot
- 3:37of, of course, funny puns, because like I said, like the
- 3:40cat-tastrophe and other cat related puns that That happened
- 3:47throughout now. The only interesting thing
- 3:49though is that one of the main characters, he, he seems to have
- 4:00amnesia of some sort where he woke up one day and he has all
- 4:06this vast in-depth knowledge of cats and their history and all
- 4:10the different. He can look at a cat and just
- 4:12tell what breed and whatever it is.
- 4:17And he has a lot of like cat-like reflexes.
- 4:21So, my suspicion. I'm thinking, of course, is no
- 4:25spoiler, because I have no clue. I'm just talking a lot, but my
- 4:28suspicion is that maybe back when this experiment, whatever
- 4:32happened, there was one cat, they got turned into a person,
- 4:37and that's maybe what he is. So, I don't know.
- 4:40But like I said that, this, this was just a, are just interesting
- 4:43read just because like, you have just all these Is like, like,
- 4:49supposed to be like, ominous-looking scenes and stuff
- 4:56with the cats or whatever. So, but yeah, I like, here they
- 5:00are, like, getting geared up to go out take on these cats and
- 5:06stuff, so, but who knows like I said, who knows if this is going
- 5:10to turn into anything more than what it is.
- 5:13But like I said, did this one volume was in Trusting enough
- 5:17likes it so did he's like make it worth the read?
- 5:21Well yeah but that's more or less it looks out and I didn't
- 5:24have too much to say about this. Like I said just kind of just
- 5:27wanted to to Spotlight it because because hopefully by the
- 5:32time this episode comes out, it should be National Cat Day.
- 5:36So I felt like, you know what, it's National Cat Day during
- 5:40spooky season perfect combination of Night of Living
- 5:43cat on National Cat Day. So, But ma'am, like I said that
- 5:48this might be one if you're just looking for like, a cute little
- 5:52horror comedy to check out. But like I said, it's nothing.
- 5:55That is like, hey, you need to go on read this right now type
- 6:00of thing. So, but and also of course, I
- 6:02got to give a shout-out to the homie soon.
- 6:06Dairy, she is a fellow Creator who also loves anime and manga
- 6:13and she is doing a series of cat Manga reviews so go check out
- 6:21some Dairy for more cat-related manga and series to talk about.
- 6:25But yeah I think that's gonna do it for me.
- 6:28Like I said it's nothing super crazy going on about this but
- 6:31likes it was a fun quick little laughs.
- 6:35Oh Bob but yeah so who knows? My maybe we might start seeing
- 6:40more animal-related manga because like I said, rooster
- 6:43frydar is picking fantastic. I adore that way better than not
- 6:49a living care but you know, of course they're going for two
- 6:52totally different vibe. So, but but yeah, so not a
- 6:55living cat published by Seven, Seas entertainment.
- 7:01Tis the season to be spooked and cuddle, but I'll catch all the
- 7:07next one. Y'all be easy piece.
