This was totally badass. I can't wat to see more!

I kind of dislike how Packy (what happened to his name being Perky?) is the lone wolf cowboy type since in the manga he was more of a consummate professional and didn't engage in excess risk. Then I don't know why Rats isn't in this show...not to mention why the Canarians were represented by two animal groups rather than their own distinct one. Since this show isn't following the manga at all and seems more like a simple action show I kind of doubt the setting will be as meticulously researched as the manga's was. Surprisingly enough, Botasky is pretty much exactly how he was in the manga lol.

Despite all that, this show will still probably be one of the best in the season.

They used the whole dessert storm / MW2 scenery, and the rescue heli is a slightly modified MI-24 HIND??? (Notably a Russian one, absolutely badass looking)

Otherwise, absolutely genius parody of a lot of modern culture. I love it!

Hostage has been rescued. Counter-terrorists win.

That was hilarious. Having a bit of trouble seeing this stay fun for 12 eps, but we'll see I guess.

Lol yeah I was wondering about the bubbly Russian design chopper as well.

Yes, I'm compelled to agree. Downloading the very first episode of every show this season and catching a glimpse finally pay off.

100% CGI, 0% plot, but who needs plot when you have that kind of CGI. I was still marvelling at the detail, particularly the smoke cans, the chopper, the things going boom.

I laughed a little at the pun last year (rabbits = Americans = "U S A G I's"). These bunnies don't run.

I had no idea that it would be so serious, it just made the raw bunny action that much better. I will sleep better at night knowing that this exists.

It's the sound of this season multiplying it's value by three.


This.

Got to admit, I'm attracted to it mostly because of the 3D Animation. Doesn't mean this isn't a good series, because it is. Can't stop thinking about CoD:MW though :P

... Or Battlefield: Bad Company 2...

First anime series I watch that seems "realistic" in warfare. And all the while having Japanese VAs. Pure awesome. It's like the marriage between my 2 favorite things: Warfare shows and Anime.

I lol'd so hard when Botasky and Packy were doing reconnaissance of the zone and both their tails were moving xD!

I liked this more than I expected. The animation is brilliant I'll give it that, but it would have been a lot better with some gore. Sorry, I meant lots. Or is it that the animal protection society would oppose? XO

Don't forget the politically incorrect undertones.

Packy.
Bad Guys are Camels.
GI's are rabbits? LoL, There is definitely some irony there when Americans have been viewed more likely as snakes since Bush. I will be curious to see if they expand these metaphors in later episodes, whenever or if ever they come out.

But ya, the CGI was great, and the mindless action certainly kept my attention. Best show of the summer so far even if it is only one episode.

I actually enjoyed it more without the blood. I think it fits better.

Gotta give props to the original author and the staff responsible. They really did their homework regarding weaponry and tactics. Not an expert myself, but hey, it's not hard to note the work behind that.

Read the manga.


The "races" are based on "animal definitions" each nation earned during wwII/Vietnam/etc. as it was quite....usual to use animal to describe enemy side (example:"those french pigs!")

As for Usa being rabbits - USA GI. usagi. Rabbit.




As for the title - thats why I am sad that we won't see vietnam arc animated.

"Cat shit one" was a title of the recon team Botasky, Packy and Rats belonged to during the vietnam war. Thats why the anime is titled that way. Cutting out the awesome and suspenseful Vietnam arc just destroyed the meaning behind the name.

So if the rabbits represent the US marines, then why did they use a Russian Hind?

That wasn't bad.

I'd like the combat to be a little more realistic in future episodes, with soldiers dying on both sides instead of a super bunny taking out entire platoons single handedly, but overall I enjoyed that.

@kutz not to kill your mind set as part of a teir one operating member taking out a full platoon is cake work, the key is how you take down a platoon(never make it to the news network because all militants are dead). Plus you should read the comic book it keep in pace of how the action goes.

My mind set isn't just to do with this series, but with war films/fiction in general.
I understand what you're saying about it being cake work, but there was a scene or two when he was away from cover under heavy fire, I find it a bit unbelievable that not one bullet managed to hit him under those circumstances, regardless of how good he is.

However, like I said, I enjoyed it anyway, and will continue to enjoy it even if it stays like that, just a matter of my preference in war fiction.

I was expecting a sort of parody because of the title and the use of animals as protagonists, but I was really wrong. I'm really not sure why they decided to use animals if it's supposed to be serious....
Action was quite awesome, but the plot was just another "save hostages in a risked zone" plot like any Rambo's movies.

Plus two men bunnies killing so many people llammas feels a bit unrealistic but at least we see the logic in the field, it's not like a plot convenience where the character kills everyone without giving much effort.
