Savior Cat
Savior Cat -Kyūseishu Neko- (Savior Cat -救世主猫-)1) is a Flash animation by the group, “Hachimiri Film”, that debut at the 'FLASH★BOMB '04' event on July 18, 2004. It is an action-packed animation, resembling a two-minute movie trailer, that borrows 2channel's AA characters.
Summary
The story takes place in a steampunk city, where Giko attempts to save Shii from Morala while the characters form a vague resistance. However, the animation does not give us enough details, so their allegiances and motives are left to viewer interpretation, then it ends on a cliffhanger with no follow-up. The animation borrows a portion of the techno song, "Ride Out" by Silver Technology (formerly named “Ask”).
