That's strange but cool, if you look the tone and style, it just look like MGS4, but they are cutes bunnies! This is a trailer of the anime series called Cat Shit One, or as it's known in the US ... Apocalypse Meow.

In the first episode, the three attempt to rescue hostages, but end up surrounded by guerrillas demanding the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces in the area.

BTW, Thats not exactly related to above but it reminds me some shows with similar treatment by using a cute character to play with violence... such as Happy Tree Friends.
