Hot on the heels of the recent announcement that the eagerly awaited (well, by Snipes anyway, sure he could use a few royalty payments thrown his way) BLADE anime series will debut as early as January, comes a new trailer! And it’s not in Japanese this time!

To be honest, we think as promos go it’s a dud. Not enough footage glimpsed and Trailer Voiceover Guy telling us of the show’s “lightning speed action” (or sutn) just doesn’t cut it. Show, don’t tell! Nothing here sells us on the series itself, only on the potential of the concept. I mean, who doesn’t want to see a weekly BLADE show on their TV screens! What’s that? They tried it once already? Huh. How did it do? Oh.

Well here’s hoping this fares a lot better than the last attempt.

Check out the promo below and let us know what you think…

Not sure when we can expect to see this in the UK as yet, but US readers can tune into something called G4 on the 13th of Jan to see the premiere.
