What Ghost Cat Anzu is
A film that asks, "What if Studio Ghibli, but cats?" Karin is left in the care of her grandfather and his freeloading giant ghost cat, Anzu. Karin proceeds to meddle in Anzu's attempts to prove himself, leading to predictable supernatural shenanigans. At least the animators got paid.
