What a ridiculously awesome combination of random elements.
Two of the cats are called Speedy Ceviche and Guido Anchovy. omg.
So good!
I had two episodes of this show (the video below) on VHS as a kid and I had to wait 25 years to get this on DVD last year.
The English version (I know now) is weird at best, but the Japanese is pretty fantastic. Leiji Matsumoto at his absolute best.
There was a single episode cartoon I saw when I was a kid that was set in Japan (?) and going on my vague recollection there was a person/child imprisoned whose only hope for freedom was if someone rang the town gong. When it seemed like all hope was lost a bird flew into the gong, killing itself. I think the child may have helped the bird earlier in the story. The only line I can remember was the child saying “who rang the gong?” after the bird flew into it. From memory it was a very dark cartoon – both visual and theme.
Anyway if anyone knows what it was called or where I can find it, that would be awesome, thanks.
Also, Gem (is truly outrageous.)

Fuck knows how I remember this. I’m assuming it was replayed multiple times seeing it came out a year before I was born.
And yeah, I loved MASK.
