Finally we can see another trailer for this epic anime feature film known as First Squad, which just so happens to be a collaboration between Russia writers/artists and Japanese animators. Just in time too, because its first screening will be happening on the 13th of May in the Cannes Marche Du Film. For those of you who can’t make it to the Cannes, First Squad will be released in theaters sometime in 2009; though it is unknown at this time whether or not it will have an American release. Here is a nice little summery provided by Twitch Films:

It is 1942. The Red Army is putting up a violent and effective resistance against the German invaders. 14 year-old Nadya is a medium. In a deadly air raid the girl is shell-shocked. Recovering from her concussion, Nadya discovers her new gift – the ability to foresee the “Moments of Truth” - the most critical moments of future combat encounters, in which one person’s actions will decide the outcome one way or the other.

Nadya’s ability is indispensable for the classified 6th Division of the Russian Military Intelligence, which is waging a secret war against the “Ahnenerbe” – an occult order within the SS. The Ahnenerbe summons from the realm of the dead the powerful prince of darkness, Baron von Wolff. With him on their side they hope to change the course of history and achieve world domination. To oppose the Baron Nadya decides to enlist the support of her old friends from the beyond – the Pioneers of the First Squad.
