It has cats. It has sarcastic British humour.
Absolute masterpiece.
You can tell the host is not comfortable with cats, which adds to the charm.
If you enjoy British humour and cats, then you'll like this documentary.

This man does not deserve to create a documentary like this. His bias is unhelpful and his attitude is out of line. I have never seen a more disrespectful host towards Japanese people, culture, and just the commentary is enough to make you stop watching immediately. It shows some examples of great places to see cats, but I recommend you do your own research. If you try to take a look through his eyes and the lens of someone like this host you will only be disappointed. Whether it was insulting cats or making jests about the people of Japan. I could not stand to watch another minute of it.
Really great information but the host is very condescending, somewhat judgmental and not very much of a cat lover. While he is talking about the history, legends and culture he makes certain comments and facial expressions which come across as judgmental. This is sad as the documentary has a lot of information about places to visit for cat lovers.
This documentary gives an interesting look at Japan's cat culture and although it's far from comprehensive, it's a great movie for relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. I'd recommend it for whenever you need to chill after a near panic attack as the cute cats will undoubtedly bring a sense of Zen and peace.
Cat Nation: A Film About Japan's Crazy Cat Culture, the title speaks for itself. It's a documentary about cats, in Japan, where they have a weird obsession and fascination for our furry friends. If you're a cat lover you'll probaby find it interesting to watch, probably cute and adorable as well. But if cats aren't your thing there's not much value to this documentary. I love cats so I did like it, enjoyed watching this documentary. It's well made but not exceptionally well made. It's just interesting and informative, certainly if you want to learn more about a part of the Japanese culture and customs.
