Ghost Cat Anzu
Directed by Nobuhiro Yamashita, Yoko Kuno
Produced by Shin-Ei Animation, Miyu Productions
A whimsical, heartfelt fantasy-comedy about an abandoned girl and a lazy ghost cat learning to trust and care for each other amid quirky spirits and supernatural mishaps.
Precocious tween Karin finds herself abandoned by her father in rural Japan. Living in a temple with her grandfather, she meets Anzu, a giant "ghost cat" and notorious layabout tasked with looking after her. Distrustful of her new guardian, Karin sabotages Anzu's odd jobs for the townsfolk and befriends the eccentric local forest spirits. In an effort to win Karin over, Anzu accidentally makes a deal with the devil, and all Hell breaks loose.
