Title: Cat **** One, Episode 1 is out
Post by: Gortef on July 21, 2010, 03:53:29 am
The first episode of the 3D animated series Cat **** One is out!  :yes:

If you are wondering wtf is it then check out these

As stated in the wiki, it's been broadcasted on the IDA Entertainment's Youtube channel, but only for the Nipponese. But seems like that doesn't prevent people upping subtitled one into the tubes. (can be found fansubbed as a torrent aswell in various torrent sites)

ok... better?

Dilmah, yeah pretty much that. And in glorious 3D aswell. It's missing the blood though, but rumours go that DVD version will have more gore.

There's a version split into two parts up on Daily Motion.

-------------

Dialogue: I don't know if it was just the sub, but the characters don't seem to speak in proper military fashion, or in ways that make sense in the given situation. 
Spoiler:
"We are behind a wall, the rest are enemies. Kill them." *bunch of buildings get the Hell bombed out of them.

Plot: There was a small bit of character development (stretching that term, here), but I was kind of hoping for more background.  Of course, the first was basically a tech-demo.  Maybe in the next episode or two, we'll get some plot going.

Well I suppose any torrent site will have it, and any fansub group will do.

can't help but think I missed some drama given how my post as well as the rest of the thread has been sanitized.

I think I read somewhere that they're supposed to be mercenaries, not US military. So that might have something to do with it. Or it may just be artistic license.

closing a topic causes people to talk about it elsewhere if there was still a desire to talk about it.


Of course, the first was basically a tech-demo.  Maybe in the next episode or two, we'll get some plot going.

this is a common literary technique, just drop the audience/reader into the middle of some random adventure to get the accustomed to the quirks of the world o the story before you start throwing plot developments into the mix. this is especially common in anime where it is effectively the default way to start up a story.

It's also used in several other pieces of literature, most notably the Illiad.  The technique itself is called in media res, basically "In the middle of things."

I have to say I find it amusing that we collectively cracked down on FS2 downloads being linked to on the site, yet here's a thread with multiple illicit streams/downloads being linked in it. :p

And, if you ask me, for the same reason. It's probably unlikely that anyone outside Japan is going to have a chance to see this stuff without resorting to such nefarious and immoral methods.

It appears on the screen at the beginning, that they're mercenaries.  That doesn't excuse the kindergarten level of "we're here, they're there."  Which is why I'm partial to the belief that it was a poor sub.

/me notes that he does know a little bit about basic storytelling and the techniques thereof. -.-

My point was that they took it to the extreme, with the only background given being two (?) names and a profession.  That, and the fact that the first episode is virtually the same as the trailer.  Ergo, tech. demo.

A good example of medias in res would be High School of the Dead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_School_of_the_Dead)'s (anime adaptation) introduction.

The amount of fansubs I have lying around means that I agree with that concept, but given our usual content guidelines, I'm not sure that posting direct links is the best move.  You can still discuss a show without spelling out how to get it, after all. :p
