Cat Shit One
A new 3D animated Japanese series called Cat Shit One was previewed at the recent Tokyo Anime Fair. You may want to fast forward to 1:22 to see the action. Looks like some sort of Metal Gear Solid meets fluffy animals. No current ETA on release date. Tis based on a manga which I'm not too familiar with.
Thanks again to Jason Ho for sending this in.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

It's the name of the recon unit the rabbits are a part of...in the manga, there's also "Dog Shit One," which is a human recon unit...

what an odd name for a movie
Pedobear approved
it's better than what they called the american version, which was apparently apocalypse meowth
because having imaginary dogs, cats and camels killing the crap out of each other is a-okay but they can't have a single swear-word in the title. :)
Student
http://web.mit.edu/anime/www/index.shtml
Yeah so true! My state won't let us see any movies that are too "inappropriate" i.e. Brokeback Mountain (gays) and now Shit Cat One or whatever it's called lol xD
流浪人
Actually, the name change was a marketing strategy...since the manga was set in Vietnam, and U.S. audiences would be familiar with the movie, "Apocalypse Now," the name change was to grab a wider share of the market. You can look at a title like "Apocalypse Meow" and instantly guess the subject matter.
I'd say but then I'd have to kill you :D
After seeing the them move I'm reminded of FMP: Fumouffu's Bonta power armor. ^_^

I thought "Oh Damn! Cat Shit One is being animated!" and I was really happy... But it's based in Iraq/Afghan/Middle East? It made sense to use bunny v. Siamese Cats for the VIetnam war... Think camels are pushing it a bit far....

On the original manga, Cat Shit One is actually the name of their troop.
Don't remember very well, but there was a nationality represented by cats too... but since the movie isn't exactly like the manga (manga was about vietnam), dunno how they will make the links...

I loved the first manga, but it seems the animation follows the new series. Fortunately a lot of works from the autor have been published in Spain, so I hope the second series of Cat Shit One will be publised too.

かわいい！ Quite animal farm-ish, and centered on Iraq conflict almost? Almost the antithesis of cute charas, and then killing them off.

I'm not too fond of shows about animal but this is like CounterStrike x MetalGearSolid x nuigurumi doing some terrorist vs counter-terrorist war on de_dust with amazingly superb animation quality. Wow at the animation, definitely on my must-watch list. Maybe I just don't like shows where all the characters are animals and they talk... but seiyuu did fine job here, I should say

I want to watch it. It does have a very interesting concept.
But I cannot avoid being worried about the growing amount of 3D animation movies lately. I mean, if we disregard The Simpsons' movie, when was the last time we saw a 2D animation in the West? It seems to me that Hollywood forgot the appeal of 2D animation...
I do know this case does not apply to Japan, I am just saying that I'm kind of disappointed with the 3D empire over movie theathers lately.

流浪人
The manga starts out with the recon team in Vietnam. Their team name is "Cat Shit One." The anime is based off of the sequel manga, "Cat Shit One '80," which takes place during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The Japanese Wiki link that Danny posted above breaks down which animals represent which groups (in the original manga, the cats were the Vietnamese).

Breakdown of animals in the two manga series...
Americans - rabbits (one of the old nicknames for American G.I.s)
Vietnamese - cats
French - pigs (taken from French cuisine's use of the truffle, which is best found by pigs)
Chinese - pandas
Japanese - monkeys and gorillas
Russians - bears
Koreans - dogs (based on poshintang)
English - mice (based on an old nickname..."Desert Mice?")
Australians - Kangaroos and sometimes koalas
Germans - foxes (based on Erwin Rommel...the "Desert Fox")
Afghans - goats and sheep
Arabs - goats and camels
Student
It's not Desert Mice, It's Desert Rats, the nickname Rommel gave the British forces at Torbruk during WW2

Its based off a three parter comic called Apocalypse Meow - a tale of the Vietnam War. In the comic Americans are rabbits, Cats are Viets, Panda are Chinese, Kangaroos are Aussies, Gerbils are English, and ... Dogs are ... something. The comic is pretty darn gritty and is also loosely based off Apocalypse Now.
