As Yutaka Matsushige must be one of the most UN-fun and gruff actors since Tetta Sugimoto, the idea of casting him in the role of a guy dressed in a Cat Costume complete with tail and cut-out face has to be the most unusual casting choices out there!
Even MORE bizarre is when you realize that the drama, Kyou No Nekomura-san, is based on a manga following the adventures of an ACTUAL cat, NOT a guy in a cat costume!
You know, back in the day, actor Christopher Walkenwas typecast as this psychotic killer type, and when he appeared on Saturday Night Live doing an entire Coat-and-tails tap-dance I thought I had seen in all. But BOY this Neko drama trumps 'em all!
And even More, More, MORE bizarre is that each episode of Kyou No Nekomura -San is only THREE MINUTES long! Seriously, What the HECK am I watching????? Is this like, a buffer between real shows or something????
Oh well, since Mikako Ichikawa and Hikari Ishida are in it (as a family who take Nekomura san in), I guess I'll stick around and see where this thing takes me... How strange can this thing GET???
