The Nyaight of the Living Cat anime has teamed up with Danny Boyle‘s 28 Years Later, a fellow post-apocalyptic tale featuring hordes of infected, for a collaboration visual that sees the former mimicking the latter’s poster. See it below:
Nyaight of the Living Cat, which debuted in July and somehow has prolific live-action director Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer, Blade of the Immortal) as chief director, is based on the Mag Garden-published manga written by Hawkman and drawn by Mecha-Roots. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the manga as:
A virus spreads across the world, transforming all humankind into wild, slavering, furry beasts: cats, to be precise. Those few survivors who remain human take refuge in the dark corners of the earth as they fight back against the feline horde. Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past yet a deep knowledge of cats, struggles to hold on with only his wits and a will to survive. Yet the virus transmits merely through cuddles, and Kunagi finds kitties so hard to resist! Is his willpower strong enough to withstand this hair-raising cat-tastrophe
Meanwhile, 28 Years Later is the long-awaited sequel to 2002’s 28 Days Later and 2007’s 28 Weeks Later (28 Weeks Later doesn’t share the same director and screenwriter credits as the other two). The premise reads:
It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
Crunchyroll is streaming the Nyaight of the Living Cat anime.
