What is going on in this Otomedius X trailer?

I don’t really know what this trailer is about, and I’m not sure if I really want to know. It looks like it is a showcase of the different characters you can choose? And why do they all have to be girls, or cat pirate… things? Scratch that, the last thing is actually pretty hot.

Anyway, Otomedius X — or Otomedius Excellent — is still coming to the West and while there are GIRLS in front of my gameplay footage (seriously, go away) it should hit North America this Fall when last I heard about it. No official word on a European release yet, so we’ll just have to be patient and hope for a quick UK release after the North American version hits retail.
