A boy's father finds a cat near the lab where his scientist mother works. When the cat begins to act human, she escapes to avoid problems. 9 years later, they are reunited and search for the now cat-woman's origins. Finding the lab, they travel to South America to find the boy's mother. She has been genetically engineering plants and animals all along. The cat-woman and boy escape the South American lab, but are separated. Years later, the boy, now man is hired to hunt and kill the cat-woman.
Pretty cool and very much of the time and place. The non-linear plot held my interest very well, as Ryosuke relates his story to a boy named Chico while they are hunting Bagi. The animation style looked like most anime of the time. Think Dragon Ball (1986) and Vampire Hunter D (1985) with wider looking characters and bold blocks of color. The Bagi character is animated in an extremely seductive way. Wikipedia says that the plot was criticizing Japan's genetic research. I would recommend this for those who like mid-80s anime and sexy cat-women. I rate it good.
