What starts off seeming to be a weakly animated CGI 70's crime drama, turns into an all out anime cat-fight that Quinten Tarentino wishes he thought of!

I have to admit when I started watching, I wasn't expecting much. The voice acting was a little on the weak side, I suspect due to directing. But my patience paid off. The story combines the 70's crime drama with the anime elements of a cat-girl who can see, and converse with, the deceased. The dialogue is fairly well written, despite the acting, and I found myself enjoying the banter between the characters.

The story revolves around two hired thugs who find themselves in possession of a cassette tape, which, unbeknownst to them, is wanted by some very high profile criminal elements. Catblue, a friend of one of the thugs, agrees to meet with them for a profitable information exchange, and unwittingly gets drawn into the ensuing battle. Outnumbered and outgunned, and armed with only her guns, reflexes, wits, a prehensile tail, and a dead guy who goes by the name John Doe, she must help to keep these two thugs alive so she can get the information she needs. What follows is a stylized and highly enjoyable addition to the ever expanding family of anime.

Frankly, this show presents some concepts rarely, if ever, seen in anime. Thanks to it's CG style, very reminiscent of the re-imagined Appleseed films, it wild combat becomes more believable, and in some ways -dare I say it- original. It's fast paced, extremely well rendered, and has a soundtrack that any disco-bunny would dig groovin' to.

It's worth watching. Personally, I can't wait to see more!

such a brilliant series.its very film noir and closley based on 70s crime thrillers.it involves a catgirl called blue.who became human by drinking her masters blood,as he lay dying.she seeks to avenge him but in the meantime becomes a gun for hire.a job she does very well indeed.additionally she is a psychic.
