The Catman series is Aoike Ryousuke's debut work in flash animation. In 2003 the Catman series won the GRAFIKA design festival prize for Best Digital Animation. Being that the show is named "Catman" naturally all the residents of the city in which the story takes place are anthropomorphic cat-people. The show follows the main character, Catman, as he deals with some of the more difficult sides of this city. This show is rather unique in that there is no dialog in the show but is subtitled in both Japanese and English and features a rather lively soundtrack to help the show move along without the dialog.
