Karin, 11 years old, finds herself abandoned by her father in a small Japanese town, where her grandfather, a monk, resides. Her grandfather asks Anzu, his jovial and helpful, although rather capricious, ghost cat, to look after her. As their spirited personalities collide, sparks fly—yet perhaps only in the beginning.
Yôko Kuno & Nobuhiro Yamashita, two directors from different mediums join forces to create this irreverent fable about a giant talking cat capable of bridging the human world and the afterlife. Made with rotoscope techniques, Ghost Cat Anzu is like a sardonic relative to 'Spirited Away'.
