Episode one came out on March 20, and the new episode two continues to depict RE4 in an art style directly inspired by the World Masterpiece Theater anime, a series showcasing family-friendly classics like Anne of Green Gables.

In episode two, Leon continuously rescues Ashley as she gets kidnapped by various enemies. He progressively gets more injured until a lovely "You are dead" flashes across the screen. A rainbow shows up and Colmillos (wolves who are infected with Las Plagas and have tentacle-like things erupting from their insides) prance across the sky.
