To celebrate the upcoming release of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Capcom has released an adorable anime series based on the adventures of Leon S. Kennedy and Ashley Graham. The series allowed Resident Evil 4 fans to discover new versions of the two characters, a departure from the video game’s dark aesthetic.

Released in 2005, the original version of Resident Evil 4 is considered by many to be one of the best video games of all time, winning several Game of the Year awards. Its remake, due out on March 24, has already garnered rave reviews, praising its emotional tone and improved controls.
In order to welcome the official release of the remake of “Resident Evil 4” , Capcom released the first episode of the animation series called “Resident Evil 4” animation PV “Resident Evil Masterpiece Theater” on its official YouTube channel. The first installment in the series, “Leon and the Mysterious Village,” featured an adorable version of a secret agent searching for the US president’s daughter. Leon asked the villagers about Ashley’s whereabouts, but found that they all had red eyes and spoke a language he could not understand. A villager eventually stabbed him in the head with an ax, causing a rainbow to appear, followed by a message that he was dead.

In the video’s comments, players praised Capcom for releasing such an original and compelling story for a horror video game, and stated that they would like to see a full series of Leon and Ashley’s adventures.
