Lily C.A.T.

The first time i saw this in the early 90's I loved it and I recently re-watched it (2002) and still loved it, it lost a bit of it's surprise though. The characters start get knocked off pretty quick, but the animation is good for it's time. Like Aliens series...then watch this!

I went into this expecting nothing. Saw this movie on some youtube video about horror manga and anime iceberg.

Noticed that it's only an hour long and long forgotten so I thought "why not? Could use it to fall asleep fast tonight".

Eh I had some fun with this. It's clearly a rip off of Alien and The Thing and I went into it knowing that so I am not disappointed.

A few cool visuals here and there for something so old, I do miss the old style of anime to be completely honest. And one monologue that the captain has about how they are just relics of the past after a few space runs, having issues to catch up with things after all those cryosleeps was cool. Never really though about it that in these situations some people can, in theory, be 250 years old. Or at least that much time passed on Earth so everyone they knew is dead. Culture has completely changed. Information has changed. Everything is different and you can not keep up the pace.

All in all, a fun little watch. You can definitely do a lot worse than this.

Inspired by Alien, The Thing and the novel Forever War.

Okay, not an original film (plot easily taken from ALIEN.) But for anime, it's much better than most of the 90's garbage, without being too silly. Animation is good (think TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE.) And the dubbed version would probably better to see than the Japanese version as the dubbed version uses different ethnic type voices to represent the different characters. Not perfect, but I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Lily C.A.T.'s characters aren't the most original, nor is the plot. But if you like anime, you should get some enjoyment out of this film. There are some good scenes in it, and it may have been better had the script been cleaned up a little.
