Apparently, designs for Kyo, K', Alba and Ash (the two of them together will definetely be intresting) were shown.

Oh and the Anime is being done by Production IG.

You sure this isn't just some opening video for a game? A KOF anime from Production I.G. just sounds too good to be true... wonder if it's a TV series, OAV, or Movie if it is true....

I hear ya, but why would they show detailed "Anime designs" if it were just an opening video? They didn't do that with Namco X Capcom.

This could get SNK's foot in the door, especially with the US fanbase. I mean they could get someone like Bandai to dub the voices and then when MI2 comes out (as this is obviously for that if it includes Alba) just use those same voice actors so we don't get the crappy ones from the first MI. They could also show it on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim or G4's Anime Un leashed and that would also bring in more fans.

Well, if both Alba and Ash are in it, it's hard to imagine that it's for a game, unless Ash is going to be in MI2 (which is possible I guess). We already know Alba's not in KoFXI unless there's been some kind of drastic change in roster. Plus the article doesn't make it seem like it's for a game, although they don't specifically say so.

Fuck yeah!!!! Now this is one long-standing dream of mine becoming reality!Now all there is left to know is if it will be an episodic series, and a long one for that point, and of course if it will kick ass, but having the best animation studio in the world is a step in the right direction.
And a tip for all you anime and Naruto fans:
Go and watch the second movie.It's a zillion times better than the first one, and so I'll easily hold my breath to see it next year along with the next one.

There is a difference between doing it FIRST and doing it RIGHT.

Oh dear - that sums up what I have to say about this. It somehow seems late to be doing this - I mean, KOF has been around for ages now.

If production IG is handling it, I sincerely hope it's a movie or OVA. I'd rather opt for them to focus on one specific storyline (Orochi, WAREZ, etc), and be treated with gorgeous animation, as opposed to a drawn out TV series that tries to piece all the storylines together, or worse, something like Street Fighter V.

Also, maybe I've been out of the loop, but I don't remember Kyo having this outfit, not even in Maximum Impact:

Looks snazzy for sure

Looks like a bad Hikaru (no go) cosplay attempt. (not like I can talk. I've had black and blonde hair for the last year and half)

I'd rather make fun of Falcoon's art than his relative unattractiveness, but people tend to get on my case when I do that. Everyone seems united in making fun of his weight.

The big question is whether Fatal Fury and AOF characters show up, is there any legal mumbo jumbo involved since they already had their own respective anime OVA's and films?

Oh, and any story past KOF 97 sucks anyway IMO.

Finally a KOF Anime! All we need is a Guilty Gear Anime now. With this and the SFZ2 Anime coming out there's finally something for me to get excited about especially for people who like Martial Arts Anime. I haven't cared much for the current state of Anime, where's the Kung Fu grip Anime yall? In the eighties and nineties these shows were a dime a dozen. There's stuff based on the Mangas that are great(Naruto for example, One Piece has some Martial Arts too with Zoro/Sanji) but I prefer reading Manga to watching Anime most of the time, for some reason in the last few years even more so. The last Fist of the North Star Anime blew chunks, hope the new version fares a bit better. I'm excited about the new JoJo Anime too and that's about it. More Martial Arts themed Anime please!

Ryu and Chun-Li forever!

I believe the report says a "short animation", so it's probably an animated short of some kind.

Of course, I could be wrong since my command of Japanese is flimsy at best.

NEW? I don't know about that.

On a moderately related note, I hope it's an opening and NOT an anime. I gave up on anticipating game anime years ago. Now I hide under the bed when they're announced. Maybe it's because I worked on Goemon.

Rid: I wouldn't say that Tales of Phantasia is a good anime, but it certainly is a -wonderful- anime adaptation. Regardless, I'm a low-risk type of person, so I say "safer not to try if you're probably going to fail."

Just the fact that it's an Anime based on a fighter in the first place means you should of waved goodbye to a coherent canon story as soon as you heard about it. They are never canon, never have been, never will be. The only thing that's canon is the games themselves and what the companies declare is canon or not within said games.

I have to agree with Sano here. Game companies like SNK, Capcom and Konami that have these intricate and mixed up storylines are like fickle children. Sometimes they say "Oh no that counts! Yes, that's true!" and then they say "Oh, wait a minute, I change my mind, that is not true. Ignore what I just said." and other times they are like "Stop bothering me, I am sucking on my lollypop!"

Not even in-game storylines can be trusted because the next game might dissolve them or re-write them. I'm waiting for the game that actually has its characters tell the player that that last 30 hours of gameplay and storyline were alll a dream or hallucination. Or better yet, another character shows up and convinces everyone in the game that you DID NOT beat the last boss, even though you actually did and have his chopped off head in your backpack.

Okay, I think I should start my career in game development now...

Go buy the new Warlock series by Marvel. It is good

Yeah, everything shin ramberk said.

Anyway, since the Anime is prolly doing it's own thing, I'm praying that Shermie is in it somehow. If not it would be great to see MOTW Terry Bogard make his Anime debut, hopefully beating up on Ryo and the AOF team... at the very least I think we can expect a kick ass Anime fight between Kyo and Iori like KOF 98's Anime intro.

For some reason when I look at the backgrounds, if it is finalized it kinda reminds me of the stand alone complex backgrounds from the thumbnails but it looks pretty interesting. Pretty clean for the character designs, Ash's teeth look pretty funny.

I'm not too crazy about Kyo's new jacket--but I can kinda understand it (I guess it's one of those motorcycling jackets). Still, it looks a little bit loud, especially given Kyo's earlier looks.

And another thing" why change Kyo but leave everyone else looking the same?

Personally they can argue that it could be time constraints updating everyones character designs but then again I'm no artist expert, for all you people who draw frequently after some point in time when you guys draw doesn't things get to the point where its fluid and you know what you want on pad and paper?

Something to stir up on why an artists design on a character couldn't be updated possibly.
