First Squad

The Russian-Canadian animation company Molot Entertainment has relaunched the website for its upcoming First Squad animated video series, which is currently in production at Japan's Studio 4°C. The English/Japanese/Russian-language site now includes a brand-new trailer, an introduction to First Squad's story, character profiles, and a set of design and layout sketches. The trailer is also available for streaming via YouTube.

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.
So basically we got ourselves superpowered, badass Soviet teens who are going to stop an army of Nazi zombies. AWESOME!!! 8-)

Is this related to a music video that was out in Russia some months ago? (I can't find it again...) which showed something VERY similar to this?

Interesting. :o
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Pretty much, yeah. I think the music video was created to drum up interest for this project which I guess worked.

=O This looks perfect for an AMV idea that sprouted up in my head earlier today. I needed a serious bloody and brutal military anime source but all I could think of was Jin-Roh. This would make a perfect addition.
