It was almost two years ago that my perverted mind was blown to pieces by the teaser for a CGI animated version of Cat Sh*t One, a manga comic that was released under the title Apocalypse Meow. Because there’s no distribution deal for the series, this isn’t TV-related, but since the characters are special-ops bunnies killing terrorist camels, then this is precisely the sort of subject matter that Warming Glow was made for.

In this week’s most awesome revelation, Gamma Squad has pointed out that the first episode is available for free on YouTube for the next couple weeks (video embedded below). It’s not without weaknesses — the dialogue is stilted (presumably because it’s been dubbed from Japanese) and I have some quibbles with weapons systems’ accuracy — but the bottom line is that this is essentially a 22-minute action scene of rabbits and camels shooting at each other in a 21st century battlespace. I repeat: 22-minute battle between anthropomorphic rabbits and camels. Your day just isn’t going to get any better than that. Unless you get laid. But c’mon, let’s not kid ourselves.

Cat Sh*t One is a manga comic — released in the U.S. as Apocalypse Meow — about three adorable little fluffy bunnies who comprise an elite military unit.  And in case you weren’t aware that Japan is the world’s leading exporter of Awesome, it’s going to be made into a totally-serious CG animated series (mind-blowing trailer after the jump).

The 12-episode anime series of “real and fierce combat by cute and fluffy animals” updates the manga’s premise by making the three soldiers part of a modern private military company. In the first episode, the three attempt to rescue hostages, but end up surrounded by guerrillas demanding the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces in the area…

The project is still in the planning stages, and the studio is still looking for investors.

I’m prepared to write a check for everything I own.  This combines the two things I love most in the world: fluffy animals and brutal violence.  A sniper bunny delivering a perfect pink-mist head shot to a camel is everything I’ve ever wanted to see.  I’ve said it before, but it’s never been more true: Japan, you complete me.
