Well, I sure as hell wasn't prepared for this
So did our hero just decide, "sure ill fuck a pure breed cat like the nazi cat wanted even though he killed several "impure" cats"
>>81252897
It was more that he rejects Claudandus' overall worldview, not that he rejected the "felidae" themselves. Unlike Claudandus, Francis saw value in all life, including those of the humans and lesser cats.

That's the one. It's also horribly grisly, the scarier segments of the movie depict TRIGGER WARNINGexperiments on cats, probing in the skull, detailed disembowelingTRIGGER WARNING that's pretty unsettling to see if you like cats.
Make your guts strong before watching. It's a great movie, well animated, and the weird story has its own charm.

I like that both of them are slightly off by cat standards having picked up on different human morals and understanding them better than the average cat who can't really tell why someone would bother to investigate a murder.
That and the old disney trope of "animals using technology for a visual gag" getting used to foreshadow the fact that they're actually growing more sapient.

Too bad I can't find the making-of anymore. The animators were pretty chill about creating that scene.
>>81253157
And it's all accurate. It is all completely accurate. I wonder how many nature documentaries they had to watch in preparation.

>>81252737
I felt that Bluebeard was too much of a chump in the film's second half.
In my country this movie was marketed as a child cartoon, with harmless "The Adventure of Cat Detective" title and description on the back of the VHS case that didn't in any way imply what sort of shit awaits poor children. Still, it fun. Need to rewatch it now, I bet the plot is gonna make a lot more sense now.
>>81252737
What a mary sue that cat was
>>81257226
*it was fun
Welp, I guess invoking the memories of watching this is still doing bad things to my mind.
>>81253398
Man, that's a lot more reminiscent of low quality porn than the original version.
>>81252737
I really liked the book.
far too often, when books are translated, they fall into a generic boring "standard german". For this book, you really feel that it was written in german, not translated, which is just really nice and refreshing.
>>81252737
No-one is.
I never realised they made an animated film.
I don't think I could ever watch it. My imagination was plenty capable for the book.
I read the book as a child/young teenager and dear god I was horrified by it. I think my mther got the book out of the library thinking it was a nice cat detective story XD
I don't remember the part about abortions.
>>81259180
well, if you want touse selective breeding to establish a master race, you're going to have to break some eggs.
Especially if some peopledon't follow your plans and can't keep it in their cat pants.
>>81259245
I'm going to have to rewatch it. I hardly remember the plot at all since I was still distracted about wtf I was watching in the first place, so maybe I can focus better a second time.
I read that shit xears ago. Don't remeber much of the plot.
The only thing I remember is that in the second book the villain is a cat that rides a dog like a knight.
>>81256845
Not the movie, more like the author who's a /pol/ on legs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akif_Pirin%C3%A7ciI've read enough of his political shitpostings to start believing he actually goes to /pol/.This dude is a riot.
There's also a comic book version of Felidae with a different fucked up dream sequence.
I think I only have it in german, though.
>>81260064
from the book, I remember there are at least two, though I only remember that one where the old cat is riding the bike, pulling fetuses out of his bleeding neck.
iirc there is one dream for each murder.
>>81260064
You mean a comicbook based on the books, or was it adapted from the movie? Can you post any pages?
>>81259442
Oh shit, I didn't know this stuff about the author. That's interesting.
>>81260120
The flying fetus dream sequence is depicted in the comic book.
>>81259442
but why.
he spends the entirety of felidae fighting literally /pol/, only to make a 180° in real life?
>>81260486
Because it's CURRENT YEAR. A lot of Europeans have gone on the same political journey.
Seriously, I don't know what's happening in America but in Europe people are turning right at an alarming speed. I've been a leftist most of my life but frankly, the fact the European left is more concerned with protecting the rights of insane religious fundamentalists (but only if they're brown) than protecting a secular rational and liberal Europe FROM such people is almost enough to make me go full /pol/.
>>81260186
>>81260064
I used to have this comic (in German) but I seem to have lost it. What a shame, it was good.
>>81260762
I'm really not worried about terrorists or anything.
what worries ME the most is that the further out you go from central europe, the more corrupt the politicians get, while simultaneously also getting more powerful.
Germany's goverment might be impotent, but they're honest. Any country that's bordering on the mediterranean sea is just a cesspit of corruption that's betraying the basic idea of cooperation.
>>81253398
Still executed better than the average hollywood sex scene.
Author is also not THAT serious and enjoys the internet/blogging shitstorms he creates.
He's got video blogs where he's promoting a new religion based on worshiping his cock as a Hare Krishna satire.
>>81255495
>But what about all the good men?
>he was probably referring to his goofy, but kind master/owner
That was kind of sweet actually.

Huh. Something to look into, I enjoyed the film.
Fucking turks and their fucked up writing.
>>81261418
I've learned it at school for a couple of years but haven't needed it after that too much, so I've forgotten a lot of what I was taught. I can understand bits and pieces of German writings. And I've seen this particular movie before, so that helps.

Does the comic has a sex scene?
>>81262239
hey, his writing feels pretty natural. it's not as stilted as translated books.
Browser got stuck uploading the page, then I tried to post a page twice.
>>81262270
Thanks for the offer but it's okay, I can use google translate for the words I can't recognize instead of bothering others. From my experience, that can be a surprisingly useful way of reading comics anyway. As a kid I used to read some English comics with a dictionary by my side, and it helped me improve my English grades at school. I've been thinking of doing the same thing with German comics and trying to re-learn the language.

That scene shocked me so badly when I first saw the movie. I was totally expecting her to be the love interest who'd end up by Francis' side when the movie ends. Maybe even worse than the death itself was the whole decapitation thing; the idea of beheading just horrifies and repulses me so badly.

>>81263190
Really nice work with the expressions; his despair is palpable.
Also, I find it interesting how these character designs are fairly similar to the ones in the movie but not identical. Francis' different looks are pretty noticeable, and I kinda like Kong's design in this comic better. In the movie he had this huge square jaw that looked a little too exaggerated for my tastes.

So it seems that Claudandus dies differently in all versions.
In the novel his jugular vein gets bitten through, in the film his surgery scar gets reopened and here they just take off his whole head.
Here's the scanner groups title page, couldn't find the blog entry where they originally posted the scan any more.
>>81264455
This went rather abrupt at the ending, like they were running out of pages. I would have liked the ending to be a bit more drawn out. They adapted a whole novel into just 66 pages.
>>81264399
>Francis critically hits Claudandus head for 999 damage

Thanks for the storytime, it was great to see this comic. The lineart was gorgeous and I liked the way coloring was done, the color hues established the mood of different scenes really nicely. Also, it was interesting how some things were done differently when compared to the movie's take on them.
Did your scan have pages "FELIDAE_COMICBUDERL_002" or "004"? They weren't included in the storytime, so I'm wondering if they were just empty/nonexistent pages, or if there was any content that got skipped over.
>>81261418
I am German, so it's no problem for me. I think you can follow if you've watched the film.
Is there an English version of this comic?
>>81264681
004 must have been just a blank/black page, it was not included in the .cbr
I just added 002.
>>81264750

I doubt he's being sincere. If he actually cared about fighting radical islam he'd do it in Turkey, his native country, a country that is actually threatened by islamization.
Of course that would mean he'd be facing actually adversity and might actually be at odds with the turkish government which is why he's doing it in Germany where the worst that could happen to him is being criticized by some talking head in a newspaper.
It's kinda funny because he compared himself and the organization called Pegida (Which, in a time where there are literally hundreds of terrorist attacks on German refugee shelter I can't help but view as a terrorist organization) with prisoners in the concentration camps of the Third Reich. Which is ironic, seeing how a group that openly opposes our values like them can only exist in a country that values freedom of speech like Germany does.
If those goons were to protest in Russia, holding up a sign with a noose on it, saying "Reserved for Vladimir Putin" they'd be arrested in no time. Yet they still act like they are some sort of repressed minority, where they are really just a bunch of entitled, middle-class manchildren who endanger the moral foundations of this country more than islamists could currently even hope to.

Hm... I think I'm going to do this. Sillage can wait, I suppose. I'll warn everyone though, I haven't seen the movie so if there's some lines that have a 1-1 correlation I'm not going to try and recreate them.
If anyone wants to help me find a good, similar font though that would be extremely helpful. Otherwise I might get stuck just using Wild Words again.
>>81269682
Did you hear what happened in Belgium about a week ago? Or in France last year? Radical islam is already in Europe. This is the time to have an open discussion about religious fundamentalism, how it should be confronted, and what will it mean for Europe's future.
If Pirincci migrated to Germany when he was ten years old and has stayed in the country since then, he might just consider himself more a German than a Turk anyway. Your argument that he should go to Turkey sounds like the same kind of "go back to [country x]" nationalist logic that you seem to be against.
But this is not the place for this shit so go to /pol/ if you feel like continuing this discussion.
Assfaggots writing about politics in a comics and cartoon thread (that isn't about political comics) suck.
Author might have gone nuts, who the fuck cares?
Do some funny edits instead.
>>81270165
Oh, I do believe that islamism is a festering problem that has been ignored for far too long, it'd never occur to me to claim anything else. And I absolutely agree that jihadist terrorism is a greater threat for our safety than extremist nationalism right now. I will however also say that I believe extremist nationalism to be a greater threat to our way of life in the long term. We should ignore neither.

It's hand lettered.

Based on the book by Akif Pirincci and the movie Felidae, a Senator Film production.
So the comic is an amalgam of both movie and book and the movie production house has the rights for this comic.
>>81270988
Yes, that looks acceptable. I find it's a font that works well with many European comics anyway.
>>81271004
Well then it would make sense why it is so reminiscent of the movie, especially how the characters are designed, as that one anon above pointed out.
>>81263757
It hasn't won any awards.
>>81270988
It looks good. I think I'm gonna look up this font and use it for my own stuff too, it's really nice and readable.
>>81271004
I was googling the artists earlier today out of curiosity. At least Koo and Yee had imdb pages that mentioned how they'd done art for a bunch of animated movies and series. I was googling them in hopes that they might've worked on some other comics that I'd like to read too, but I guess they're mostly animation artists and this is the only comic they've ever done? If so, it's kind of a pity.
>>81271004
>>81271300
Alright then, I guess we're sticking with Wild Words. There's definitely a reason why it's so popular, it looks good on pretty much anything.

The font is fine and good to read.
Placement is good and the speech bubbles were cleaned up very neatly without looking too sterile.
Here's some very high level nitpicking on the language, it boils down to personal taste so don't freak.
I would have translated it "this damn house" instead of "this stupid house" for the double meaning as mild annoyed expletive or the spooky meaning. It's also the direct translation, just don't write "damned" so it won't come off as stilted dialogue.
Instead of:
"But if I'd guessed what was waiting for me here.."
I'd suggest:
"But had I guessed what was awaiting me here..."

How's the english dub anyway. I only ever saw that in German.

It's actually pretty good, though nobody knows who made up the English cast at all

Feel free to post more corrections as I go along, I'll address them after I've done everything. But for now:
>this damn house
I'll probably go with this.
>had I guessed [...] awaiting...
I'll probably change this, but I wouldn't use "awaiting" because it sounds too stilted. Not insanely so in the context, since it's supposed to be sort of an "artful narrator introduction" kind of scene. But it's not something one would use in every day speech, so it sounds a bit odd coming from Francis' mouth.

Francis has a bit of an insufferable aura about him, so him talking in a bit of a stilted manner in his narration isn't too out of character.

I spent WAY too much time on this.

That anon's suggestion about "this damn house" was pretty good. The movie uses quite a lot of explicit language (its dialogue featured words like bullshit, goddamned, hell, bastard, etc). So if you want to aim for the movie's tone, you don't need to soften the swearwords in the translation.

The movie did it better. The final speech from Claudandus was priceless.
>look at me now
>what you see, Francis, is evil
>yet once I was... good
