Quirky Asia Files: Cartoon Bunnies Go To War

It's like Watership Down meets "Apocalypse Now"!

This video clip is sweeping across the Internet, and I can't help but join in. The completely insane yet insanely awesome combination of cute animated animals with R-rated bloody violence demands attention. Bunnies with sniper rifles! The mind BOGGLES.

Where is this from, you ask? Do you really have to ask? Japan, of course!

Language warning; violence warning. Here's the trailer to the upcoming manga series. It is so wrong and yet so right:



This is even better than the Smurf snuff film done by UNICEF in 2005.

I love the smell of bunnies in the morning ...

Quick and dirty translation of the dialogue:

Botasky (Sniper): Wait! Packy, can we do this by ourselves?

Packy (w/ hat): If we don't do it now, those two will be killed. We can coordinate by wireless. You shoot from here. I'll flank them and go in close. Don't worry; we can handle it.

[Packy flanks, Botasky acquires a target and fires]

Botasky: I killed him! This might work! [or maybe, "I have to report!" - I can't quite catch it.]

[scene change]

Packy: You just increase the risk, so it's better not to come.

[after Packy takes out bad guys w/ the rocket launcher, the following appears]

With such cute faces you'll forgive them!
