This looks really good!
It gives me hope that capcom will take inspiration from it as it looks exactly like a sequal to resident evil 2 & 3.
It makes me annoyed that capcom haven't done this in a game though too as 4 & 5 story could definitely have come at a later date.
What do we think about the chances of capcom doing a game like this but in remake 2 format?
Just watching the newest trailer makes me want to play resident evil 2 remake and 3 remake again even though I'm still mopping up the achievements in village.

Makes me happy that they're keeping the Resident Evil tradition of keeping the characters' color themes.
Leon's suit is almost the same shade of blue that his original RPD uniform was. And of course, Claire has the red jacket.
From what I remember, the theme colors are:
Chris Redfield: Green
Jill Valentine: Purple-ish blue
Barry Burton: Red
Albert Wesker: Black
Leon Kennedy: Blue
Claire Redfield: Red
Ada Wong: Red
In almost every game they appear, the characters more or less keep their theme colors (except Leon who didn't in RE4 or RE6, but looks like they're doing a better job at it now).
Didn't think the older characters would work with the young voice actors from RE2 Remake, but surprisingly they work.
CGI looks bad.
Story and premise look good though. Can't wait.

By the way Leon's "don't do anything stupid" line to Claire is the same line (and said in almost the same way) that Jill says to Kendo in RE3 Remake, if I remember correctly.

Right? I feel like I've seen better, but maybe there's limitations to a full length film, as opposed to real-time cutscenes.

As a huge Resident Evil fan, and as an even bigger Leon fan (avatar alert)... yea, it's a pile of steamin', heapin' shit.
Plot is dumb and really shallow. CGI ranges between "kind of bad, but tolerable" and decent, but man, those animations are terrible. The walking and running animations are some of the worst I've seen in any CGI movie. Shit is really distracting.
And someone in the production team is obsessed with Leon. We get it, someone in your team thinks he's handsome, but my god, we don't need that many closeup shots of the guy's brooding face.
I saw a lot of Japanese names attached to the production, and I thought that might give it some hope.
Nope.

Tag, you're it.
Exactly my thought. The only good idea in this series is the rats but omg they are so useless and killed in something like 30s. WTF.
Release them in Washington or any big cities and it's a massacre, but no you put them in a freakin submarine.
Also I loled at the death of the Chinese girl, didn't expect that.
Am I missing something? Why did they call it anime?

Also, only started the first episode; the CGI looks great but the animation is slightly off, and I don’t know why…

Agree with everything you said, especially
The death of the Chinese girl. The whole thing was so poorly done; she was introduced as a major character, and someone you thought was gonna work with Leon, but it was all for nothing. She was a cheap Ada Wong knock-off anyway.
Also, at the very end,
Leon's decision to not give the data to Claire left me like:

Watched 2 eps, was kinda short and shit, like when you eat a burrito from a questionable place.
Will probably finish for the luls tomorrow.

Really love the trailer! But I have yet to watch the series to gauge if the plot is great

I watched 2 episodes and found it dissapointing. Will probably finish it though.
The CGI is not so good, a real bummer because I love some good quality prerendered movies.
Although the Netflix series is technically better I do prefer the look of the RE2 remake cutscenes better, the character somehow look more human in the remake (and they animate better).

It was ok. I think it can be finished in one movie instead of episodicc.

That was the most mediocre ending ever, definitely a 6/10.
The ending was lackluster and unnecessary vague especially since it is before RE5.
Leon's choices are also absurd at the ending and completely distant from the character.
They really need a story doctor on all of these things they put out.

Exactly what I expected. Same by the numbers bullshit with Leon and Claire. Both characters need to be retired from the games and expanded media.

From a fellow "Fan of the Games" -- no, it's absolutely not worth the watch.
I also agree with
Mister Wolf
-- I get it, Leon and Claire are popular. I'm myself a huge fan of both characters. But give them a rest. Just because you put them in a movie, it's not gonna save the movie if it's junk.Resident Evil is a huge fictional universe, they can draw from many locations, characters, and situations.
A couple of extra notes:
- That final "boss battle" (if you can even call it that) sucked
- Leon and Claire are obviously fan service. But another piece of fan service was the picture of Ashley on the President's desk. Of any given fan service you can provide, you're gonna do... Ashley!? Probably one of the most mocked and hated characters in all of Resident Evil? LMAO

It was ok if you're a fan of Resident Evil. The animation and some of the textures aren't great but I don't really care about that overall. It's fine. Claire wasn't in it enough for me. The big plus for me was that the returning characters were still recognisable in this and I didn't have to be told their name to know who they were.

It was fine, I never expect too much from RE movies. It will make people more hype to buy RE games and that is the whole point.

The story sucked ass. The only good parts were some of the flashback action sequences of the Maddogs doing some Black Hawk Down style stuff. I wanted to see THAT movie focusing on Jason and his squad, not the bullshit we got. Jason was the only believable/likable character. Leon and Claire were wooden and wasted. Leon's hair altho iconic is just fucking ridiculous for a supposed Spec Ops/SS Agent. Not believable at all. Yeah it's a small detail but still annoying. Chen May was wasted literally.
The animation was photorealuatic at times and absolutely terrible at other times. Super inconsistent.
This basically played out like a series of game cut scenes strung together minus the game play.
I'd probably rate it a slightly below average 4/10 maybe an "average" 5/10 bc I'm a RE super fan. But man this was really a wasted opportunity.

This is where, in my opinion, the first Resident Evil movie by Paul W.S. Anderson did it best.
It's an entirely new cast of characters and a plot that is similar but not a carbon copy of the games.
Hell, the whole laser tunnel shit even made it to Resident Evil 4.
The movies getting worse as more entries came out, that's another story. But the first film is still enjoyable.
And I also love the theme music.

Just finished it last night. Found it to be boring. This would have been better off as an animated movie than a 4 episode series. Random characters with no backstory, no explanations or anything. Pure fan service. 4/10.

And yet pretty much every animated movie has Leon in it.
