Nick Istre on First Squad

Since I essentially admitted to being Russian on this blog, and in fact tried to make hay out of it, I feel like I need to pay my dues and note First Squad, as mentioned by Nick. But it really doesn't seem anything up my alley, for a few reasons. First, I'm exceptionally happy to part company with those people. If I see a Russian walking down the sidewalk, I cross the street. Second, I'm sort of over the whole theme, unless it's something uniquely Japanese. The premise of First Squad reminds me of some dumb live-action movie where top Soviet athletes form another First Squad, with the archery champion eliminating German sentries noiselessly, and so on. I guess if you like Nazi zombies, First Squad may be something to check out, but I pass.

BTW, There was nothing on Nekona about First Squad. Dunno if the site is just too derivative, or they do not consider it interesting for reasons similar to mine.
