I'm wondering what the deal is with "red pandas" these days. I'm actually playing on one those Japanese social game sites and one of the quests to finish allowed you to get your hands on two red panda statues to put in the playground, after you acquired all the equipment. I can never finish these games in the time give. That's because they want you to spend MONEEEEEY for items and I just can't spend 24 hrs playing a game either. I have a life. LOL.

But this is cool. But is she really a red panda? Cause 'Hello Kitty' isn't a cat after the huge reveal several decades later.

Yeah, gotta laugh at that. These jokers telling US that the creators must be smoking crack. If the creators want to say she was "fat jelly toad", then who am I to judge poor 'Hello Kitty'.

Maybe it's all in our mind. Maybe, she really is a girl but our perception is that we see a cat. IT'S us That have been seeing all wrong.

Kind of like the Seinfeld episode of trying to find the spaceship. But hey, Kitty is the is the goddess of Sanrio she has no form and she is forever changing.

Okay I'm done now.

Another example ,like Show by Rock, Sanrio is trying to diversify it media distribution and character stable, Retsuko seems totally opposite of the cute and cuddly character.

So,as Nick and Judy try to solve the missing mammals case in Zootopia, apparently this is what's going on in their counterpart to Tokyo. Or whatever city Aggressive Retsuko is set in.

This looks like it could be an amazing short, the red panda is very cute, I wish this trailer had been translated, but I guess it's not too important since you can see what's going on anyway.
