Translation:
1:26 Botasky
"Wait, Packy! You said do that by only ourselves?"
1:28 Packy
"If we do not do, those two will be killed!"
"I'll send you a sign by radio transmission, shot from here."
"I move closer them by way of side-on."
"No problem. We can do. "
1:51 Botasky
"My gun is quite usefull, right?"
1:59 Packy
"If You stay here for fight together, it cause only increase risk. don't have to return."
1:59 Packy
"If you stay, it brings nothing but risks. u don't have to come back.
they don't try to make a point, there aren't any jokes, there's nothing interesting here. the idea might be alright, but they don't seem to be doing anything with it, judging from the trailer.
why would i care about this? for the gfx?

i don't understand it either - i mean, come on, ppl replaced with animals = lulz. of course there are exceptions like watership down or animal farm, but those are classics and have a completely different concept than all the pixar/dreamworks/etc CG action stuff.
CG and action look good and i'll watch it anyway (being a CG whore), but a series just based on mixing cute animals with war?
it's japanese, so neither initially
fansubs probably appear within the first week of japanese release and a dub once it's released in the states
guessing ofcourse, but i think it's a fairly safe bet
