Synopsis
A promotional video was created for Chinka, a proposed anime series from Danny Choo's Studio Mirai production studio. Announced in 2010, the series was never completed. Choo described the story this way: For several years, numerous arson incidents have occurred. In the rural town of Kiyotaki, nestled in a beautiful mountain valley, the residents talk about a legendary arsonist known as Akaneko [赤猫]. The police have completely given up on Akaneko, who has evaded capture each time. The town's only hope is its sole firefighting team—the Mizuneko [水猫] Fire Brigade. However, due to their destructive firefighting methods, they are also feared by the townspeople. Almost every night, Akaneko and the Mizuneko Fire Brigade engage in fierce battles, destroying many buildings in the process. The Mizuneko Fire Brigade has drained most of the town's financial resources, leaving it on the verge of bankruptcy. The town was in a dire state when Chinka, a girl with the superhuman ability to detect fires by smell, appeared. With her powers, the Mizuneko Fire Brigade closes in on Akaneko's true identity.
