Looks pretty nice, but then again, aren't all trailers like that? Wink What song was that by the way? Sounds slick.

Yeah hopefully it will be cool. As long as the fights are good I'll like it, and they look good from the trailer.

The trailer just looked too awesome. I too would like to know the name of the song played in the trailer as it is a catchy song.

I have to say though that Iori's hair does look weird.

So I take it either the story is based directly on KOF:MI2 or takes place in the time between MI1 and MI2? Seems to introcuce some of the new MI2 characters.

Original Net Animation.

It's a relatively new term.

Yes, think of it like a self extracting zip file.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I REALLY think the song is done by Dakota Star, who are a pretty new Japanese band and the lead singer always sings in english. The voice sounds so much like her I'm damn possitive it's them, but i have no actual proof so i don't know. Can anyone confirm this?

Wow. I can't beleive that there would ever be a King of Fighters anime that would look that good. I hope this comes to america soon. I can't believe that they have just about every character from even the most recent games. Even Maximum Impact.

It doesn't make any sense, as far as I can tell. Falcoon pretty much destroyed any real canon order of events SNK was trying to establish before they folded with all of his Max Impact stuff. "Another Day" makes me think it's supposed to be alternate universe, hopefully, at least. I mean, putting Ash, Rock, and Alba together makes me cry. A lot.

I just watched the trailer and... um. It looks like that weird creature girl from MI2 is in this, which makes me kinda annoyed at Falcoon. He knows fans have wanted a good KOF anime for years, but now he's shoving all of his weird designs into it. He's such an obvious huge KOF otaku to scary extremes. x___x

I wonder what'll be done about the voices, though... The Fatal Fury movie had the game voices of Andy and Joe, but that was it, and Joe wasn't even played by the same actor in the first anime for it. I'd love to see Masahiro Nonaka as Kyo and Kunihiko Yasui as Iori in an actual anime, and to see Akoya Sogi actually doing Mai's voice outside of the games and dramas. Nothing against Kotono Mitsuishi's portrayal in the Fatal Fury anime, but... Anime cry A lot of the characters are voiced by the same person, too, so I wonder if they'll even bring many of the game seiyuu over. Anime cry

I also just realized I haven't seen Shingo in the anime yet. NOOOOOO. But Takehito Koyasu is in EVERY anime, dammit. Anime hyper

Okay, I'm done rambling. Very Happy
