Ghost Cat Anzu is a film about a ghost cat named Anzu. What is a ghost cat, you might ask? Well, imagine if Garfield was the size of your dad and nobody cared. Anzu is a menace.

Nyaan is on the outs with her employers after her last failed delivery. Meanwhile, the pilot of the Red Gundam–a mysterious boy named Shuji–is set to enter the fray.
