Japanese trailer for animated series “Cat Shit One”, based on the same title manga series (known as “Apocalypse Meow” in USA) by Motofumi Kobayashi.
The original manga is about three American soldiers (the bunnies) in operation during the Vietnamese war, but in the series the battleground has shifted into Middle East where the bunnies are tyring to rescue hostages held by some guerillas (the camels)…
The concept… these days people are too used to seeing people dying in movies, and the producers hoped that the use of cute and fluffy animals as characters could give viewers a stronger feeling of the misery of the wars [via Patrickmacias]
While admiring their intentions, I wonder if their objective could work… as I find the trailer so cute and hilarious. I couldn’t stop myself laughing when the bunny began to talk, and I feel so bad because it should be a serious war series (or is it?)
Cat Shit One is scheduled to release in 2010 as a 12-episode mini-series.

I’m already laughing my head off with the title. Thank god they renamed the title to “Apocalypse Meow” for the US release. But animals with attitude….CUTE!!! XD
if the series is supposed to be serious, it is a big fail… because its too cute =P
The bunnies came from a play of words for G.I. in japanese.
