Just got this. Should get around to watching it soon. A Russian anime. Russian as in the story and writers and voice cast. Anime as in the actual artwork and filming was done by several prominent Japanese animation companies.

From the wiki: "Set during the opening days of World War II on the Eastern Front. Its main cast are a group of Soviet teenagers with extraordinary abilities; the teenagers have been drafted to form a special unit to fight the invading German army. They are opposed by a Schutzstaffel (SS) officer who is attempting to raise from the dead a supernatural army of crusaders from the 12th-century Order of the Sacred Cross and enlist them in the Nazi cause."

Reminds me of Christian Gossett's evocative Red Star mythic Russian comic series. Except hopefully it won't suck...

The pacing sucked and the characters are not convincing. Awesome idea, bad execution.
