Blu-ray Review – Ghost Cat Anzu

"Ghost Cat Anzu" is an adaptation of a manga series that began in 2006. Directors Yoko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita have quite the dramatic challenge in the material, which initially delivers a mild sense of comedy and episodic experiences, only to end with a battle between supernatural forces. The first half of the picture works the best, capturing a very strange but amusing sense of oddity with the eponymous character and his daily adventures. Once heavier plotting and fantasy worlds join the endeavor, "Ghost Cat Anzu" loses most of its appeal. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
