Synopsis

After two-month-old kitten Chibi-neko is abandoned by her former owners, she is found by 18-year-old Tokio. Although his mother is allergic to cats and has a great fear of them, she agrees to let him keep the kitten because she fears he is becoming too withdrawn after failing his university entrance exams. Chibi-neko soon falls in love with Tokio.

In her own mind, Chibi-neko is a small human who speaks in human words, although people only ever seem to hear her meow, and she believes that all humans were once kittens like her. A stray cat tells Chibi-neko of a paradise called Cottonland, where dreams can come true.

Story
The story seemed like one that you would see in an old cartoon from the 90's or 80's. It's not a riveting plot. It doesn't ...

Mixed Feelings
Wata no Kuni Hoshi, localized in English as The Star of Cottonland, is the only anime adaptation, out of Yumiko Ōshima’s réperatoire. To give more context to that statement, Ōshima’s body of work is very similar in affluence to Moto Hagio’s manga. In fact, Wata no Kuni Hoshi is said to be the genesis of the cat girl fad, that is still an on-going phenomena in anime. This film is similar to Angel’s Egg, in its surreality and ambiguous message… furthermore, it explores the psyche of a prepubescent girl.

About as interesting as tepid, watered-down soup. Oh, except for the creepy vibe you get through the whole thing.

Little kitten is adopted by a depressed adult student who can't get his life together. And yet, his mother (who has one of the most over-exaggerated cat 'allergies' in existence) thinks that he may regain his spark by taking care of this cat. And so, all sort of cute little misadventures ensue, as the kitten gets mixed up in all sorts of mischief.

Except, as I mentioned, the creepy part. Which is, the ...
