Looks very promising and I'm looking forward to this. Anyone else?

    I can tell just from the trailer. Studio 4C remembers why it is that there are anime fans, and it isn't moe girls.

    First Squad is set during the opening days of World War II on the Eastern Front. Its main cast are a group of Soviet teenagers with extraordinary abilities; the teenagers have been drafted to form a special unit to fight the invading German army. They are opposed by a Schutzstaffel (SS) officer who is attempting to raise from the dead a supernatural army of crusaders from the 12th-century Order of the Sacred Cross and enlist them in the Nazi cause.
    Crusader zombies fighting super-powered Russian teens? Should be fun. The animation looks stellar. Studio4c always manages to impress. I like the techno track as well.

    Me too. If thats the sort of music that will appear in the anime, that OST is mine.
  • RochelleRochelle
    Wow, an anime that actually seems worth watching to me. I'm impressed.
  • VigaViga
    I'm very impressed and will be spreading the word.

    I looked really good, until about half way through with the horse jumping out of the ice and crap like that. I almost had a nerdgasm; good thing, I just took a shower. I thought Japan was still banned from WWII related stuff? LOL!

    The Nazis have Bipedal tanks? The Russian army is toast.

    I'm Russian (though not particularly), and I heartily approve.
    I looked really good
    With all due respect, this thread is not about you.

    How did I not know about this?! I am such a geek for Studio4c...

    A healthy love of gratuitous violence, the key trait of an old-school anime fan. :P

    Hmm, looks like this isn't a 4C original. It was made up by people working for Molot Entertainment, a Canadian/Russian Animation studio with HQ in Toronto. This is anime like the Animatrix and Gotham Tales are: Made up by western Producers who admire the visual qualities of Japanese animation. That's kinda cool, I like these co-productions.

    Question, would you just call it anime either way, or keep calling it whatever else you otherwise call it? And what about Ahiru no Quack? D:

    EDIT: As for the trailers, after finally being able to see them (Flash works sporadically on my computer for some reason since a month or so now), I must say, looks awesome.

    Hmm, yeah, the Russian did seem a bit too good to have been done by the Japanese :P
    Personally, I'd call it anime nonetheless.

    I loved the opening soundtrack, the techno sound mixed with artillery shell fire was awesome.
  • VolkerVolker
    Wow, i'm so glad about this.
    For too long western media's ignored the Eastern Front in WW2 as a source for storylines.
    Finally this looks about to change that. =]
