Arguably the only anime ever made inspired by both Hello Kitty and Thomas Pynchon’s “The Crying of Lot 49,” TAMALA 2010: A PUNK CAT IN SPACE is a futuristic fever dream that flows back and forth in time, following the adorable wide-eyed kitty Tamala on her home world of Meguro City, a BLADE RUNNER–esque metropolis controlled by the Catty & Co. corporation. Escaping into space, she’s waylaid by the God of Death and crash-lands near Hate City on the Planet Q, where she meets a new boyfriend, goes bowling and thrift shopping—and realizes she may be the latest reincarnation of an ancient Greek cat cult with ties to the omnipresent Catty & Co.
