FireChick · 2009-08-26, 19:38

Wait...are these voice actors Russian or German? I thought the voice actors were going to be Japanese like usual!

The anime is Russo-Japanese. So there are two voice casts and two audio tracks.

FireChick · 2009-08-27, 07:24

Oh...I see!...wait, now companies are doing "double-language" anime now!? That seems cool! I'd like to see that!

4Tran · 2009-08-27, 08:18

First Squad may be a Russo-Japanese collaboration, but the creative staff is mostly Russian. That's not only why the Russian dub is so prominent, but it's probably the main reason the anime was made in the first place.

Shadow Kira01 · 2009-08-27, 09:49

This anime seems to be very interesting..

The idea of a Russian team of blade users and gun users fighting "The Last Battalion" and zombies or monsters from Hitler's army is great, especially that I am still playing P2.

In that case, wouldn't the original audio be Russian whereas the Japanese audio track would be the dub?

The writers are Russian, so it's very likely that the script is in Russian. As such, it's natural for the original language to be Russian as well.

Can't wait to see this Movie....Watched the Trailer several times!!! Man this is so awesome =) Animes about war are allways something special

Mike7718 · 2009-08-29, 19:07

guys, if you didn't know there has been a 3 minute leak on youtube of First Squad, although the first minute is russian, you can just skip to 1:00 and watch the 3 minutes.

It gives a small taste of Nadya's life before it changes

well, it's the video that I've uploaded, lol. It's been already posted here

kyouray · 2009-09-10, 17:51

Just seen it.
Heh that was disappointing.
I hoped something better from Studio 4°C specially the animation (the trailer shows the best scenes) which can be better even if there's some good scenes. Besides the direction is really clumsy and documentary aspect breaks the rhythm. The supernatural part could be a good idea but it tends to be ridiculous.
However the chara-design and the set are quite nice and soundtrack's pleasant.
In a nutshell : entertaining (girl + katana and twin hotties) and ridiculous but I expected something different.

konart · 2009-10-04, 15:53

Well, the movie is available via torrents already - dvd rip + eng subs.

But it's not in a secure location.

TigerII · 2009-10-04, 19:02

I have a question. I know it was said before, but what front is the movie based on again?

LeoXiao · 2009-10-04, 21:59

the eastern front, like in 1941/2.

Statonxyb · 2009-10-05, 00:42

Watched it an hour or so ago and I wasn't too thrilled.

While the characters/scenery/etc. were great, the animation was spotty at best and the documentary-like interview clips that popped up throughout the film were terrible. While the premise for First Squad was nice, the execution of the story I felt was mediocre at best and the ending wasn't exactly breathtaking.

ChibiGoku · 2009-10-05, 06:54

Maybe it's just me, but the Russian cast... really isn't doing it for me. It's not so much the cast that is the issue (which I think in itself sound find), is rather it's the acting. I'm really hoping an official dvd release is to occur that it'll include the Japanese audio track. From what little I saw of the Japanese track, makes me wish this even more...

I'll post my thoughts on the movie later once I get a chance to watch the whole thing.
