Magical CC Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_90iFLjdqQ&feature=related Director: Yoshiharu Ashino (director of Tweeny Witches, animator of Princess Arete, Mindgame, et al) Character design: Hirofumi Nakata (animator of Batman: Gotham Knight) Story by: Mikhail Schpritz and Alexey Klimov Music: DJ Krush Format: feature film Production: Studio 4°C and Molot Entertainment Gene: Action, War, Mech, Fantasy The year is 1942, with the raise of German, some Soviet teenagers with extraordinary abilities 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. The movie is set to be released in 2009. What I think: extraody art and animation, sound...strange music, new but..maybe old storyplot. But anyway, it looks interesting enough for me to wait and watch. (well, a Russian sub group is a need here...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, could you repeat that? Well, in this facet I think I can actully defend this. The Nazi's had a massive perverse fascination with the occult and German folklore and history, and there really were 12th century Baltic crusading orders, so, assuming something like this was even remotely possible, the Nazi's would have done it for sure. It's still ridiculous, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyosua Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Even so, it'll still be epic. Now the real question is if it will be Epic Win or Epic Fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Communard Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Wait, so on the map in the trailer, it shows the Nazi's eating up Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, even when they all voluntarily joined the Axis, but at the same time, they don't eat up Italy orYogoslavia.... I must think on this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be happy this isn't just thinly-disguised "BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WE GOT OUR ASSES KICKED IN WWII" like most anime material on the subject is. Are there any _______ Nazis that can be considered new today? No. I posit that the PMC is replacing the nazi as the go-to completely unsympathetic bad guy in media today, though.

No, you're taking the totally wrong tack on this--this was written by Russians, so it's a whole diffrent revisionist ballgame. They're probably playing into the whole "the-Soviets-saved-Easern-Europe" stichk with this, which would explain why contries like Romnia, which was a member of the axis, are shown as Nazi occupied, as it was later SOviet client state, where Yogoslavia, which was undeniably an occupied nation, is shown as independant, as they... wern't so good a toeing the Moscow line. Also, why the Baltics are shown as unquestionably Soviet. ...of couse, it could also be a major case of "did not do the research", but conspricies are way more fun.

burning_phoneix Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The trailer looked decent until the supernatural bishie teenagers and crusaders started to show up. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burning_phoneix Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) No, not all of them. It's a more recent phenomena in anime. To the point where if no bishies are in a japanese animation, it's not "anime" by some people's definition.

It would be more accurate to say that it's only an Anime if it was made in Asia. And since Russia is in Asia, I'd consider this an anime.

Der Kommissar Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 You could name a wide variety of (mostly older) anime that lacked anything approaching the pretty boys common these days. Burning_Phoneix is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
