KOF XV｜SPECIAL ANIMATED SHORT directed by MASAMI OBARI

I noticed that as well, nice throwback

[@fabianplayer24]

Yes, I thought the same.

Those are still really fun to watch too. They’re my favorite fighting game anime. The characters and their interactions are so well done. And of course all the fight scenes are dynamic and smooth af. i think the whole things here on yt too.

After three decades, Obari and his team is still going strong. A wonderful job for the team!

[@DragonHeart613]

Obari's Fatal Fury anime film trilogy is quite possibly the greatest anime adaptation of any video game as well as on the short list of greatest video game adaptations period right alongside the likes of Mortal Kombat (1995), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Netflix's Castlevania and Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie.

[@briansilva3765]

@@DragonHeart613 Rare moment of someone both remembering and liking the Prince of Persia movie. Which is a shame because that is indeed a great movie.

[@DragonHeart613]

@@briansilva3765 The Prince of Persia movie is the best most high-end video game movie to date & the first time that a big-time film studio went all out to adapt a major video game hiring big name actors, a notable director, a renowned producer, a famous film music composer & even bringing in the game's creator himself to write the story for the film version. PofP is exactly how Hollywood should always treat movie adaptations of video games period. Sadly Disney did not advertise it & promote it enough which hurt it's box office chances. It pains me that not a whole lotta people ever talk about the PofP movie, it deserves way more love & appreciation. It's also extremely tragic & infuriating that such a great game adaptation like PofP never received a sequel while the truly awful Resident Evil movie from anderson & jovovich went on to receive a ton of sequels each & every one of them even worst & more cringe than the previous one🤦

[@player2-lightwater914]

There is an movie coming out this year. The movie is a sequel to King of Fighters: Destiny.

[@caiooa]

Oh, so the composer, lyricist and singer of this hype theme is Steven McNair. It's the same person responsible for kof 14 opening and ending ("follow me" an "burning on"). I really loved "burning on", it was so emotional. He was also involved in capcom with SF5 AE (opening, char select, pre bout, post battle) and DMC (dmc5 main menu, dmc pachinko "burn in hell"). Soccer fans might remember his voice from PES 2009 "High Stakes" too.

[@DarthBleh]

I love the guy's alternative metal/hard rock style! Works perfectly with the games he's performed music for

Excellent job! My compliments to Masami and the animation crew! This really feels like watching the opening of a new KOF hand-drawn animated series! Welcome back, Masami! P.S. If KOF XV ever got its own hand-drawn animated short(s) and/or web-series, like it had with the Maximum Impact series two decades ago, I’d totally watch it! =)

Massami Obari is still my favorite anime artist of all! His rendition of SNK characters are unmatched in my opinion 🔥

[@GetterRay]

I love how you can tell its Obari instantly. The man has many imitators but there is only one Obari.

Good to see the MASAMI OBARI Terry is back; that is my favor Terry of all time!

They better play this badass sequence as intro every time you start the game.

Glad to see Terry resembles himself in the old Fatal Fury movies. :]

[@OmegaKatanaXIII]

For the amount of budget put into this I'm impressed and for some odd reason I feel nostalgic when Terry Bogard came on screen is it due to its anime director obari directed the ova series back in the day.

I love that there are nods to the classic animation character designs of the first Fatal Fury anime, particularly with Terry Bogard.
