"Finally, someone doing something serious that isn't photo-realistic-uncanny-valley-freaking-zombie-moving-about-the-screen-hell."
While such a cutesy design probably won't be my first choice, personally, I can see how it can easily establish 'these are the sympathetic characters' right from the get-go.
This, however, is all up in the air since this trailer looks to be done to find investment to make the rest of the series. I'd like to see what they are able to pull off. I have hopes, but I also fear what can happen between here and there. It's a long bumpy road to get something like this produced.
Also, at least is they decide to translate it for the states, both it's current name and the "Americanized" names are poor choices. Cat Shit One, is obviously a no-go. Apocalypse Meow (the translated Manga) makes it sound like it's suppose to be a comedy, which from this trailer, it certainly is not. Something like "Cat Scat One" (I am assuming the name comes from the name of the military unit that the bunnies belong to), might be the best choice, but who will actually think of that, until it's too late.

Random musings, I'll go away now.
