Looks like Crunchyroll is on a roll here. This time, they will be streaming Catblue: Dynamite, though I'm not sure if the movie will be available for download (whether for pay or not) from the site. I have talked about this fun CG anime before...

Hopefully, this me reporting on series showing on Crunchyroll reported by Anime News Network won't be what this blog pares down to. I'll try to get a proper post up at some point...

I know this is pretty much last-minute info, but I was informed by a reader named Chris a few days ago about Catblue: Dynamite being screened at Comic-Con this year. I couldn't go because of work conflicts, but maybe some others would like to see this rather strange (and enjoyable, IMO) CG animated movie for themselves.

There's also performances by Mimi, apparently in costume as Blue.

Here's the full press release that I've received, with information and times about the screening and performances:
Mimi: Meow!

Time for an update of what I've been watching.

Finished Watching

Catblue: Dynamite

I had finished a review of this 40-minute movie this morning. In truth, I've probably rewatched this around 5 times in the past week or so, most of that showing the movie off to different people. I don't have much to add here on top of my review of it.
