I just read the manga that this is based off of (the American version is titled Apocalypse Meow), and I gotta say, it's pretty good. The manga focuses on the Vietnam war, and is pretty historically accurate, right down to the slang the soldiers used. However,it's not for everyone, as some will find the military stuff boring.
The animated series looks like it will focus on the Iraqi hostage crisis in the 1970s, so I guess it would technically be a sequel. (I'd like it to go that route, since we'd get more character development from the rabbits, now that they're veterans of the Vietnam war.) Oddly, the trailer only shows Perky (Paki) and Botaski, missing the third rabbit, Rats. (Pity. I rather liked Rats.)
Random side note: The Americans are represented by rabbits as a pun on the Japanese word for rabbit, usagi. (Essentially, USA GI.)
