Viper's Creed Trailer Shows Pilot Footage

We picked up the news about Appleseed director Shinji Aramaki's new sci-fi anime, Viper's Creed, just a few days ago. But already the official website hosts a trailer showing some early animation sequences, or pilot footage as ANN calls it, along with idle chatter from the anime's recent announcement event. I figured nobody wants to get bored with the blah-blah, though, so I hacked out the animation part alone. Behold!


A thing that struck me is that one of the two animation studios working on Viper's Creed is Digital Frontier - the same guys doing that shitty CG for Resident Evil: Degeneration that we wrote about earlier today. Luckily, the other animation studio is AIC Spirits, whose most recent work can be seen in Ga-rei: Zero; which is not looking bad at all.

Anyway, Viper's Creed should begin airing in Japan from January 6, 2009.
