It’s been a while since I last reported on Studio 4°C’s “World War II meets the occult” anime project First Squad, mainly because there was just nothing new to report even though I was eying the official website like a hungry wolf horny monkey.
Now Twitch’s very own Todd reports that First Squad will be screened during Cannes Marché du Film from May 13, 2009 and even got a new trailer featuring all new scenes plus a full synopsis for us to enjoy.

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.
