A copy of the much-talked about Russian-Japanese-Canadian anime “First Squad” has been leaked on to the Internet. The film, about Soviet pioneer-superheroes, is due for release on October 15.
“It’s the first-ever time an anime was filmed on a mobile phone camera by ‘our compatriots’, right at the first festival screening. After the Moscow Film Festival, the film traveled to several more film festivals in Switzerland, America and Spain, but the ‘heroic deed’ of Russian pirates remains unbeaten. Our own countrymen have kindly uploaded the disk with the festival version of the film on to the Internet just ten days prior to the release. Right, guys, let the Japanese learn that there are only three big troubles in our country: the fools, the roads and the pirates, and – like in the time of the Soviet secret police agency, NKVD – there’s no hiding from them.”
