I read the manga on a whim when I saw the cover-art and fell in love with it. I got my fingers crossed that whatever studio is doing this can nail it.
The manga itself does a great job of extracting humor out of the juxtaposition between zombie/horror tropes (but with cute cats) and the survivors who are all cat-fanatics, but while they love cats, they also have to avoid cats (and sometimes even have to inconvenience the cats). It sounds stupid, but with the manga playing it very straight, it turned into one of the funniest things I've ever read. It might not be for everyone though. I also need to shoutout the artwork in the manga, the cats are drawn really nicely and contrast well with the gritty, apocalyptic world drawn around them.
Good to hear that the source executes such a ridiculous premise well. It sounds hilarious. I might have to check out the manga instead of waiting all the way to next year if I can find it.
It definitely lives and dies by the execution. I can definitely see a universe in which the adaptation is just as great if not better than the source material, but also a universe in which it'll be hard to watch.
You can find it. If you're the buying online type there's options aplenty, if you're the in-store type Barnes & Noble had me covered (I picked up 1-3 today after reading this thread lol.) If you're the piracy type I'm sure it's out there but I like print.
