Not only did I find Pale Cocoon but I also found another anime that I had been meaning to watch on crunchyroll as well and that was Catblue: Dynamite which isn't so much an anime really as it looks more like a cinematic from a video game with some choppy CGI and stiff movements. Actually the CGI wasn't all that bad but still nothing like what we have today for video games or 3D CGI anime as Catblue is a couple years old now. To be honest before watching it I couldn't really remember why I wanted to see it so badly but it was on my to watch list for so long I decided to check it out anyways.
Set in the '70s it's like a disco mafia story with a little pretty kitty cat tossed into the mix but this pretty kitty cat comes with a prehensile tail and a bag of tricks. Not only can she hang and swing from that tail but she can even hold and fire a gun with it as well. She can also see and communicate with dead spirits as well. And that's only a few of the tricks in her bag of goodies.
Anyways we find Catblue and her spirit friend helping out two mafia couriers who happen to get caught up in the middle of a fight between the Mafia and the FBI because of information contained on a cassette tape that one of couriers has. The reason she's even helping them is because the main guy is the brother to a girl that Catblue is friends with and the other guy is engaged to the sister. Which turns out to be one of the most annoying catch phrases of the movie as the black guy who is engaged to the sister keeps calling the other guy his brother which of course the brother hates.
Well it turns out that the main badgirl is also another cat person and she's in charge of getting the tape back from the guys with the help of an apparently endless supply of goons. The bad kitty does most of her fighting with Catblue while the goons are used as canon fodder against the two couriers. Lots of shooting and catfighting happens but Catblue and the couriers win in the end. During that time though we also find out that Catblue became the way she is because she drank all the blood of her master after he was killed by some goon and she vowed to seek out justice for her master after drinking his blood.
After watching it I was still wonder why I wanted to see it so badly. Not that it's bad it just seems like one really long video game cinematic where in the middle of the story you should be pressing A to begin playing one of the couriers if not Catblue herself and doing the shooting and running around. That's just how it felt to me. I'm glad I finally watched it of course but it's just kinda meh OK I'm seen it now what. Maybe it's just because it's that one episode but anyways it's just there I guess for you to check out on crunchyroll if you want to. Finding any large pictures of it was a pain mostly you get the live action girl who does some dancing about at cons for it as well as some smaller screen caps but NO fanservice of any kind or really any official art work either. I did find a trailer of sorts for it that you can check out to see if you might be interested in seeing it yourself.
