Cat soup (nekojiru-sou) part 2

[aliusnemo]

The fish ate his feces so he doesn't want to eat himself in a sense but he forces the pig to eat himself. He ate the same fish's eye on the beach which others wanted for food... they don't care what the fish has eaten since it is only fish. Not sure what the dead pregnant creature entirely meant except that basically with the life cycle, in death we continue to make knew life. He observed this which made him decide against fish, a favorite of cats.

=I have no idea

[GreenGem24]

The girl cat makes me sad :(

[henshey]

i like it but its the prove... asiatic has problems in his brains

[SlymeGreen]

Okay, when I first watched this I must admit I the first thing on my mind was drugs. But, I'm starting to see something here. If it is true that this story has to do with the guys wife, Nekojiru, and her suicide, I think I sort of understand. Everything in this universe is driven by self-interest. The circus, the sadist, the samurais stripping that fish to the bone, etc. Even Nyatta demonstrates some sadism in what he does to the pig and the birds. -continued in next post-

[SlymeGreen]

@SlymeGreen I'm starting to think, and I am probably wrong, that the man, when trying to keep his wife alive (much like Nyatta and his sister, acknowledged his own "self-interest" in doing so. Perhaps he wasn't so much doing it for his wife and for her life, but for himself because he needed her. So he was sort of a sadist, with the creepy bondage guy a condensed personification of this, in expecting her to continue to suffer just so he could be with her. Just my two cents there. 

[mpo48]

its almost like angels egg

[ModestTruth]

Don't call Lushikinz an asshole, YOU BASTARDS!

[packcatza]

O M G

[Lovero91]

[Nightmare7878]

Pauvre cochon

[sharinganloquendo]

[ssaiyan3]

Try watching this whole thing on an eigth of shrooms all at once. It will baaallooow your mind! Hello kitty on acid lol

[ArytmicaOfficial]

Cat soup :) I know it :) is psychological anime..

[CaioVisNog]

I realy enjoy the music that starts playing at 1:00

[RyskerSein]

did anyone else make the ._. face when he went potty in the hole and the fish were like "yuuumm~ :D"

[DaNinjuh]

why does he eat the pig when there's fish right there?!

[24thingstodo]

@DaNinjuh b/c he doesn't want to eat his own fecal matter.

[DaNinjuh]

@24thingstodo Oh ok that makes sense, kinda. Thanks.

[Pandanobear]

..... Well that's one way to cook a bird

[MrBubbaloo]

its like that radiohead music video for paranoid androaid with everyones limbs being cut off all the time

[Kaminari67]

Behold! Charlie Sheen's brain!

[only4fuzzy1]

no man is complete without his own pair of spiky thong underwear. for those days when you just feel like decapitating cats with a huge pair of scissors :D

[nananeneh]

i watched this high

scariest shit

[Kijiriko]

5:46

"Sister, my arm fell off!"

O_O

[samo5566]

the pig eat it's self?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?

[MagicalDroplover]

I still understand this

[Iemanonymous1]

I AM SO CONFUSED.

But I am still certain this is the purest form of art.

[Gafgarion22]

watch?v=RnfXvPBV1dA&feature=pl­ayer_detailpage#t=239s

[Gafgarion22]

This weird man who wanted to eat them... Paranoid Android by Radiohead, anyone?

[amythemistcat]

This is so cool~

Kinda like having a dream.

A depressing dream, in which someone you care about is detached from the world, but a dream nonetheless. It also makes it more comforting when the p

[natyu180]

This is morbid... yet so cute o.O

[speedyguy8]

im so fucking high right now loooool

[iamtwoawesomes]

oh my god agh this is terrifying.

[tranquilRain13]

8:41 xD freaked me out,seeing that guy run out like that.

[borrrrego]

7:56 LOL

[Wyrarara]

So in my opinion, "Sister, it bit my hand" is a translation near enough.

[Wyrarara]

Actually he doesn't even say his hand got bitten. He says "Sisten, my hand got taken" (=ripped off). Oneechan = sister, toru = to take (toreru = to get taken, in this case to get ripped off) te = hand, ga = particle. "Oneechan, toreta, te ga" (Sister, it got ripped off, my hand). It's impossible to translate it exactly the same way it was said in Japanese but I guess you get the point.

[emberwing56]

this is kinda like hansel and gretel aint it >_> i SEE the resemblance *0*~

[ziapeper]

5:45 big sis, my arm came off

Thats what he said for those who don't understand

[fffanm]

@ziapeper Actually, he says: "Sister, you bit my hand!"

[equivalentXexchange]

@fffanm it could also be that but it depends on the situation. like in this situation its obvious the sister did not bite his hand off so then the other meaning comes in which means "sister, it bit my hand!"

[ziapeper]

@fffanm but it was the pig who bit his hand off

[Bitchwolf]

...Nobody else dreams like this half the time? Whoa. You guys wouldn't survive a night in my head. <3

[sora7793]

@Bitchwolf oh god i agree with this all the way

[KyiKyo95]

@Bitchwolf No, I have dreams like this as well.  Surreal landscapes, people talking gibberish, the terrain changing on you at a moments' notice and fantastic creatures, among other things.

[SRR023]

@Bitchwolf i wish i even had dreams xD dreams at night, not like, goal/dreams.

[BunBun969]

oh my freaking god

[Sarasirk531]

...and I thought Tekkon Kinkreet and Paprika were surreal.

[deideikunblueeyez]

lol at 4:58 xD

2:43 There are many fish in the toilet

5:16 Yuck, yuck!

5:44 My sister, he has bitten my hand!

[SmokingSpoon]

At 8:28 the music make me remember FF8. Awesome movie btw.

[iHappyApple]

2:49-3:04

if life was that simple...

[JarouqueXIII]

and now I ask myself - why the fuck am I watching this just before I go to sleep?!

[Lushikinz]

the director made the film in memory of his wife who committed suicide. The cat with half a soul is supposed to symbolize her depression, and the male cat is supposed to represent her husband, doing everything he can to make her well again. The ending, where everyone turns off like a television, is supposed to represent death, and how inevitable it is. Even through that long quest, the cat could not prevent his sister's death in the end.

[FacelessScribe]

@Lushikinz good Sir might I ask you for your source on this?

[pampamproductions]

@Lushikinz THANKS FOR SPOILING IT ASSHOLE

[Konata101]

There are many fish in the toilet 2:43

Wtf man, wtf. xD

[Konata101]

Why does 1:16 remind me of Animal Crossing? o.o

[jarblewarble]

Reminds me of "Spirited Away" for some reason. The symbolism is very similar.

[MrD0m1n0]

cock

[CrazyGal4Life]

oh my...that'll make a delicious meal...especially since we kno dat da fat guys dangerzone has spikes o.O

[Broeckchen]

...I just can't believe that all of this happened within ten minutes....

[aiwotome]

not moral  lol

[SilverTylaria]

THE FAT GUY IN THE SPEEDO. OH GOD. THE FAT GUY IN THE SPEEDO.

[ScruByyyyy]

the game LIMBO basically copied this.

[ScruByyyyy]

is this guy serious? tell me, IS HE SERIOUS!?!

[bruionicle]

in Radiohead's Paranoid Android video there's a fat man with leather spike undies that gets his arms and legs cut off just like in this movie... DOES ANYBODY KNOW what it means???!!!

[SIRKELAVSVART]

i like it when he poops into the ocean. aha.

[MemoryOfTheRose]

weird creepy and disturbing... i like this movie!

[pinkluzangelica]

i definitely do not see shit like this when i trip. just sayin'

although i really enjoyed it. i tend to like wierd anime. FLCL FTW!

[foxcaty]

the wierdest thing is when he poops... other than that i like this movie lol

[MisterDukers]

how do i understand this? is it the drugs? because i'm pretty sure if i had watched this a year ago (before i tried all these wonderful things) this would have seemed extremely stupid and weird instead of profound and logical.

is my brain more open to understanding things it couldn't on it's own or have i just developed some kind of delusional mindset where i think things like this make sense?

[Black7Cloud]

With movies like this, who needs drugs D:

[Black7Cloud]

Om my god what is t.......

[SonicBrawler1992]

This is like a fucked up Japanese Alice in Wonderland, with cats!

Also; 3:18, cannibalism?

[aiman24]

@SonicBrawler1992

well, it is eating itself...

i don't think that's cannibalism... i'm unsure what that is though.

[haibane2]

nie ma jak pojebane kreskówki

[StickyRix]

Ahoy! Some Dreamers can still be found within...

[SorrowSprings]

That looked like Hansel and Gretel in a way when they meet the creepy guy and dine with him.

[Nikoru1Faith2Love3]

What the fuuuudddgggeeee!!!!!

[africanninja23]

Why are they beating the pig thats sick

[ItachiTenshi]

So a mother bird feeds a naked dead woman who's pregnant with two cats to her babies, then the babies poop until they form a poop pile and from the poop pile a poop tree grows and once it matures it grows fruit with baby cats in it? Awesome!

[HuggumsMcgehee]

[insert drug joke/reference here]

[anasheart]

I have never used any kind of drugs, but now I know what its should b like =/

[maidwithluv]

wtf am i watching. ...leather spiked undies???

[HeSheXie]

Wow, so there IS as much symbolism as I thought there was. And the Hansel and Gretel reference made me cringe a little bit. Actually, a lot, although I understood what was trying to be said.

[CaptainGoofysstash]

@HeSheXie I was fascinated by the Hansel and Gretel reference too, although I wasn't sure what was trying to be said with it myself. Do you think you can clue me in on what that part was saying? (Also, did you notice how the creepy guy put on mouse ears and have a mechanical brain? Weird...)

[DarkenCheChanChani]

....dear god.... I saw this movie when I was around 8 or 10 or something. I knew it was fucked up, but... I.... WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.......

[absolutexkara]

@DarkenCheChanChani it's not fucked up, it's a form of art. no one can create something like this if they don't have an open mind (which you obviously don't have). this won many awards for it's story & incredible symbolism (which you obviously don't catch). when you do, you'll discover this is actually really, really sad & beautiful. peace dude.

[DarkenCheChanChani]

@absolutexkara Dude, chill for a second and think about what you just wrote. Are we watching the same movie? This movie /is/ incredible, but did you even WATCH THIS? I've never done drugs, but now I know what it would be like. Half of the stuff out of japan has the definition of '...fuck what?'. This movie just has the def. of 'Beautiful and symbolic' /with/ the def. of '...fuck what?'. I never said the movie wasn't awesome. Just... I still don't know wtf I'm watching. I don't think I ever will.

[absolutexkara]

@DarkenCheChanChani uh, duh i watched it, else i wouldn't care enough to cmnt .

[silvercookiegirl]

lol this made me smile with its cute random artsy deepness! ^ ^ now i've got a vague idea of what drugs are like...

[SoreKawaiNeko]

That´s so strange....O.o and creepy....but I love it XDD

[101Swiftflick]

Is it still canabalism if you're eating part of yourself?

[smexyOrangez]

Birds Crap Out Rocks :3

[jussilliman]

there is soooo much symbolism and great animation in this movie,for example the wizard as god, playing with creation and space and time, the two wandering cats looking for the second half of the elder sisters soul in the world of the dead is a very powerful idea. anyone who comments on this being like acid is foolish, acid is a whole different ego-less experience full of everything that is not in this movie. I must say i have greatly enjoyed this cat soup,,,mmm

[KyFMastercus]

@jussilliman Actually, acid can bring about high amounts of symbolism.

[CrazyInfernape]

@jussilliman Theyre refering to the skinning and beating of the pig and retarded cat.

This is SUPPOSED to be like an acid trip btw...

[xxSheersorrow]

I love the music during the start of the rainfall aha.

this film is strange and beautiful.

[GotCrazyOverNaruto]

kinda like hensel and gretel?!

[MissReige]

The way Nyatta eats that bird that the dude set on fire makes it look kinda tasty...

[loxegwen]

thank you i feel better about my life

[tehSnark]

@ 6:49 OH, GOD!!! It's THAT guy!! D:

[gatheringleaves]

this movie scares the hell out of me

[robotunicornattack]

this right here is like ur daily thing of wtf???

[detectiveyoshi]

the pig eats itself?

[nevfangiel]

oh, ho ho. i get it. it's about humanity and how we inexplicably and ludicrously skate the obscure boundaries between life and death, good and evil, and the horrifying, perverse truths that lurk within all our souls. but with cats!

[CCIC671]

This was a great movie

[chiirioz]

poor piggy :(

[WolfandSerpent]

Why, why is the guy wearing bondage......

[hoppeppers]

@falsewander no its why you SHOULD!

[AnimeCheeze]

2:43 there's plenty of fish in the retreat

5:17 yuck, yuck

5:43 Sister, my hand was bit off

[c4dowgy]

none of this makes sense...... i think the person who created it was on drugs.... D: wtf

[eggisfruit]

So this is what getting high is like.

[izzycoolio]

wt the pig ate itsel O.o

i am scared...

[BRENNAN8819]

ive never been so happy to not be on acid

[pr0llyn0t]

This gives me the feeling you get when you have strange dreams.

[jurijbenko]

I think I lost a bit of my IQ points because of this.

[funnybunnylove]

LOVE IT! >:O

reminds me of Yume Nikki :3

[Bitchwolf]

@funnybunnylove Somewhere around 6:40, I understand exactly what you mean...! It reminds me too of Yume Nikki. In so many ways!

[lulicah]

This is the weirdest thing ever...but I like it :3

[LaLaLie1995]

OMG is it weird that i under stand some of this shit

[TheMoonCrystal]

I've never done acid and with this movie, I don't have to.

[DarkComet360]

I always found this movie to be just plan wierd, but interesting to watch never the less, despite its overly macabe, friendly with death sort of feeling. Even still, I can never get over the excessive wierdness of this movie. But their are some aspects of it which reminds us of some of the less likeable things that exist in the real world - such as the torturing of small innocent animals as seen in this part of the movie.

[tehSnark]

@DarkComet360 Yeah, and like how the pig caught all those fish, but the cat still cooks the pig's meat instead, ignoring the food they already have.

[MissReige]

@tehSnark Because the fish had eaten the cat's shit. Forgive him for being picky.

[pinkluzangelica]

@TheMoonCrystal

haha no i'd say you're still missing out although this is brilliant nontheless. ;)

[samucasan]

It`s very symbolic movie and hard to understand, like surrealism: with oniric symbols.

[TheHappyKitten]

yeah........ i dont think that anyone really understands this

[ItchikoOkamyka]

o__o omg this is weard expiriment to see this...

[FebruarySoul]

There's somethong seriously wrong with this movie.

But I like it.

[hungoversundays]

@FebruarySoul

Its meant to be, made by a tourtured soul.

[Lucrecia7]

tonkatsu!

gotta love nekojiru gekijou

[kaoruneko16]

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OldHeroesNeverDie]

lol, the fish ate his poop

[moo8dathotmaildotcom]

Some strange shit man.

[RedHeadVicky]

lol @ 8.42

[drunkbum]

lol at 5:26.

[PapermoonCutout]

Shit. I can't watch a second more of this.

My brain is going to blow.

&& if I do watch anymore, it'll be almost as traumatizing as Evangelion...

[MisakiShan]

el cerdito es canival XD

[NukeA6]

This went from family film to some disturbing shit

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Some of the fucked up imagery in this (especially the artwork in the old man's house at 7:02) reminds me of Mark Ryden's work.

[sakuratears7732]

this is definitely the strangest thing i've ever seen in my life...

[WeakArc]

2:50

Oh God lol

[Yaoifangirl1990]

O-O

man, this is creepy

[gypshasballs22]

I like it But i have never seen somthing so weird before

[eeveepartyrox]

dis is so fricken creepy... (0.0)

[eeveepartyrox]

dis is so fricken creepy... (0.0)

[meltingpenguin]

It's called "surrealism" And it's an art form. If you don't "get it" it means you don't have an open mind. Sit back an enjoy the visual story telling. This is pure eye/brain candy.

[connectwired]

I have to disagree with you...the symbolism is a little subconscious but I think there is something really specific that is being said here. Message me if you wanna hear more about it.

[tdlo123]

I never smiled >.>

[kaoruneko16]

LMAO Not even at the part where Nyatta attacks the piggy and takes his Roast?

[voldosmith]

i just dont get it =S

[QuarantineX]

That freakin pig got OWNED XD

[voldosmith]

Thats right! jajajajaja

[mictlantecuhtli93]

Holy shit this makes no sense to me, it's like thatmovie of the angel's egg creepy

[TamayoMeri]

...Angel's... Egg?

[End of ] Evangelion?

That's the only other MINDFUCK movie/series that I can think of that involves "angels" and an "egg".

[mictlantecuhtli93]

no XD there's a movie called angel's egg

and really that movie is really weird

[xMiglox]
