Russian + II World War + plot summary = another historical lie. It's a pity that Japanese fall for something like this.

Hmm...
Let me ask: commander in chief that will be Iosif Wissarionowich, NKWD - elite Red Army. And KGB officer called Butin, who worked in Germany, sacrifice own life to save mankind Twisted Evil

And of course that terrible Poles will be traitors - they join to enemy Twisted Evil

Did anyone say it was supposed to be FACTUAL? Didn't think they did....


Anyway, that trailer made the show look pretty cool IMO. I'll definitely be checking it out

Because the Japanese believe there really were rhino tanks in WWII... Yeah, this will be about as much a factual account of WWIII as Kenshin is a factual account of the Meiji period or Le Chevalier D'Eon is a factual account of 18th-century France. It's called "historical fantasy", get over it. Rolling Eyes

Looks pretty good, I'm curious how it turns out.

Pierviy Otryad

That war couldn't begin without Soviet Union help.
And after Central Europe was occupied by close 50 years...
Murders, tortures, politic courts - I don't understand how anyone can expect appreciation for something like that.

I imagine that any Japanese production is going to want to minimize the issue of attrocities of the war, given their own record. And really, bringing such things up isn't necessary to have a good movie.

Poles... Hatred is a strange thing.
In Russia, no one hates Poland, remember about it mostly when entering the eyes on another manifestation of your long-standing hatred - mention of ridiculous propaganda in your media or messages like your in Internet.
About cited - you have a very primitive idea of how history is taught in our schools.

Lie.
The war began when Germany occupied the Czech.
I know that the attack on Poland was supported by the USSR, but you can not say "couldn't begin without Soviet Union help". WWII started because Germany wanted it. USSR not to blame for the attacks on Britain, France and itself.

You had sovereignty.

P.S. I do not want to argue with you because it is useless. Believe than this message simply expressing my views.

WWII and the Soviet Union? Damn, that's my weak spot.
Well, I only want to see it more now, factual or not.

The animations in the trailer and in the music video are absolutly fantastic! Very Happy
I ust hope it won't be all action and few plot, since the subject is quite interesting.
