Episode 3 of Resident Evil 4 anime Leon and the Mysterious Village is the best yet

Are you sitting uncomfortably? I hope so, as it's time for the third episode in Nippon Animation's anime short series Leon and the Mysterious Village — commissioned by Capcom to promote this week's release of the highly anticipated remake, Resident Evil 4.

Episode 3, titled "Help us, Old Man", sees Leon and Ashley ask a friendly villager for help with escaping the crazy village and its infected cultists. As with Episode 1 and Episode 2, it, unfortunately, does not work out too well for our heroes — Though, to be fair, The Old Man does come through with their request, perhaps a little too enthusiastically. I actually thought that this was the funniest episode to date!

Resident Evil 4, a remake of the 2005 GameCube classic, will offer fans a fresh, modern take on the terrifying odyssey of Leon and Ashley as they pick their way through a mysterious European village, fending off wild cultists, infected locals, and some of the creepiest enemies the Resident Evil series has ever known. Bolstered with the power of the tip-top RE Engine, Resident Evil 4 is looking to freak out even the most veteran fan of the original release.

Resident Evil 4 launches tomorrow, March 24, on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms.
