What does a cat do after quitting its job?
I was peacefully browsing YouTube, choosing which ASMR video to watch to end that fateful day and go to sleep, when a drawing of a black cat on a video cover caught my attention in my peripheral vision:
The vert first episode of this very special project is titled "¿Qué hace un gato después de renunciar a su trabajo?" <<What does a cat do after quitting its job?>>.
And being someone who is about to quit their job, I was like "Hell yeah, I'm going to watch this". AND THANK GOD I DID BECAUSE I LOVED IT.
Ciudad Alimaña is about the dramatic (so dramatic that I understand him perfectly) Kit Le Chat, who has just quit his job, moves in with his sister Simone and ends up becoming a detective in the purest satirical noir style.
The series blends animation, puppetry, and original music, giving it a unique aesthetic. It does look gorgeous, I love the backgrounds; they are very detailed and feels like real places. The humor is very funny too, it's just weird in the best way possible. It does feel very mexican i'll tell you that.
This is quite the indie proyect, produced by Marea Films and Akira Xanat, in collaboration with Pipuppets TitereTeatro. It was basically created by students from different universities, and it is essentially a Mexican project.
We Mexicans love animated projects.
YOU CAN WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE ON YOUTUBE!! It is subtitled in several languages, including English.
I wish you all the best in this project.
I also hope you can help reblog this thing because is my way of promoting habhaaha
