This is an odd cel for me to own. It's from an anime series I've never actually seen (except for about 10 minutes of one episode). It's a series called "What's Micheal?"
It's a show about a cat named Micheal, an orange tabby. However, even though I've never really seen the anime, I have every volume of the manga in Japanese and some of the English that has been professionally translated (check your local
comic book or anime store!).
It's a great manga! It's very easy to understand. In the manga, Micheal is actually several cats leading several different lives. One is a Yakuza's pet, another is the pet of a woman who has 5 cats.
Another (and my personal favorite) involves the man with a wart on his nose to whom animals are somehow almost magnetically attracted. There are also fantasy sequences in which Micheal (and sometimes his family,
including wife Popo and son) take on anthropomorphic characteristics. I love the one where Micheal starts dancing like Micheal Jackson in the Bad video. ^_^ Anyway, I understand that the TV series only focuses on
a single family who own Micheal (a young couple who are also in the manga) and Micheal's life with Popo and his adversary, Nyaazilla. I really want to see it eventually. I assume that this is from
a fantasy sequence, since Micheal is dressed like either Peter Pan or Robin Hood.
