To answer your first question -- yes, this is a CG cartoon depicting the horrors of war by having the soldiers all portrayed as adorable animals... adorable animals who shoot and stab each other in horrifying, extremely graphic ways. To answer your second question -- of course it's Japanese. Cat Shit One is a deeply disturbing manga by Motofumi Kobayashi that was released in the U.S. under the deceptive cute title Apocalypse Meow, only to traumatize the poor kids who picked it with countless, brutal deaths of bunnies, kitties, doggies and more.
This isn't an anime yet, but just a trailer by Studio Anima to hopefully drum up investors to make a real series. (Via AnimeVice)

Great, just fecking great. Thank you Japan; now each time I look at my cute but completely evil bunny, I am going to picture her at war with a bunch of donkeys.

I don't know why I keep thinking to myself that someday Japan will run out of things that will amaze me with their weirdness. I can't help but imagine at some point they will no longer be able to surprise me, they will have crossed a weird event horizon.
It's things like this that proves no matter how bizarre Japan gets, they will always one up themselves.

I've watched this trailer three times now. I read Apocalypse Meow a few years back and it was awesome. Cats are so totally Viet Cong. If this series doesn't get made I will burn down Japan.

Maybe I'm disturbed, because I don't find it bizarre at all. I think it's a pretty effective way of depicting war as the chaos I imagine it is. Things you love are gonna die.
I guess it's pretty good thing I don't have kids to hand this manga to.

So... it's now about Iraq?
Can't say that's very original given how many other video games and tv shows have already shown this same exact thing. Yeah, it's kinda cool, but it's been done to death already.

I'm not a big fan of Anime, but, but... I want this as a series. I want to go out right now and buy dozens and dozens of DVDs of the full series. Plus 20 copies of the OVD.
God help me, I want to watch it in the original Japanese with English subtitles...

Wow that was fairly awesome but why on earth are they basing this in Iraq or somewhere around the middle east, I think they would do much better with it still based in Vietnam and to follow closely to Apocalypse Meow

Ummm...am I the only one that thinks that portraying the evil characters as turban-wearing donkeys (or camels..?) is rather offensive?

Hmm. Someone's been playing a lot of multiplayer on "Conker's Bad Fur Day" I see.
I don't find this compelling. Anthropomorphic animals doing drama just does not work for me, unless it's Animal Farm.

Wow.
So...What Furry Fanfics That Get Offtrack From the Original Premise but Aren't Porn Generally Become: The Series?
Well, if they lay off the moralizing and keep Lisa Gerrard in the soundtrack there, I'll go with it. Sure.

You know, the whole time I was watching that, all I could this was: This would make a sweet mod for Battlefield 2.

That was all kinds of fucked up. What the hell is wrong with the Japanese? How in the hell do they come up with this shity? Jesus.

Hey, do you wanna take bets that this will be better than the new GI Joe movie? (if it gets made...)
