I'm waiting for fansubbed version still. So far, episode 2 tops my favorites, Billy Kane was just badass.

I'm so loving KoF:AD. It's done what every fighting game based anime should have done, no real plot and just focus on the fighting. Plus the ending theme is fantastic, does anyone know the name of it?

The other two were kinda bland, weren't they? The action and that rock song are the only thing this 'ONA' has to offer.

I think the band's called K's Crush. They sound like them anyway.

I just watch the K' Dash episode and I'm honestly a little disappointed. I waited for months in anticipating to watch that one too.

That's pretty much the point, isn't it? Considering each episode is ten minutes (even less when you count the credits) and there are only four of them, there's not a whole lot of room for great story development. This is fine by me, though - I'd rather they spend their money on some well animated fights rather than, say, three 24 minute episodes with weak animation and a ho-hum story that doesn't really make it worth watching (sup super robot wars original generation). It's pretty much just some nice fan service.

the problem is there hasn't been one decent fight in the whole thing. it's bad enough they put emphasis on characters nobody likes, but both fights have ended abrupty in really stupid ways. it's just a big ad for Maximum Impact.

didn't you watch the first episode? The fight between Iori and Sohiree was pretty badass, and Billy Kane's tustle with Lien and Rock just goes to show how cheap and overpowered he really is like in the games. Anime hyper

Your quite wrong that they put emphasis on characters nobody likes, I mean c'mon, Sohiree, Rock Howard, Billy Kane, K' and Maxima, The Ikari Warriors... all of them are pretty popular.

It may be true its a big ad for Maximum Impact, but it also works as to tie-in the main KOF series with Maximum Impact better.

And that's why I love this show much. The fights are just amazing to watch. The first time I saw the fight between Iori and Soiree I was drooling. Then the fights with Billy Kane were great as well. I seriously just can't wait to see this episode and the final one as well.
