7 /10

The King of Fighters: Another Day Based of The King of Fighters series, more specifically KOF: Maximum Impact series of games, which is something I indulged myself into only briefly.. I am a big fan of the main series of The King of Fighters; other than it's spin-off series which is KOF: Maximum Impact. This is one anime you will have to have some background knowledge in order to fully enjoy. Story: 6/10 This particular anime takes place after the events which unfolded in the first KOF: Maximum Impact game. The King of Fighters: Another Day has four interlocking episodes, which range approx 10 minutes each.. The episodesrevolve around central protagonists; brothers Alba & Soriee Meira, who are protecting the citizens of Southtown, after the demise of Duke and his gang..

I admit I was thrown off at first of what was actually going on in the anime, seeing how I didn't play the first KOF: Maximum Impact.. But that didn't necessarily stop me from enjoying this anime, seeing how everything came in full circle in the end anyway, all of which is explained in KOF: Maximum Impact 2, a game I actually own.

Art: 7/10
The art style is fair, nothing great, but nothing bad either. The characters are drawn pretty decent, and when put into motion, the fight scenes aren't all that bad.. Granted it could be a bit more fluid, but I digress, it's still a enjoyable experience.

Sound: 9/10
I guess the real selling point of this anime for me is the incredible soundtrack. Many of which is fully orchestrated, and fits in really well to the anime. It really sets the atmosphere when Southtown is under going a crisis.. I could actually feel what the characters are feeling, so moving.. On the flip side, the action scenes offer a electro/trace/suspense mix of tunes, and gets you pumped for the fights when you hear that tune spark! Plus the ending theme, "Regret" by Dakota Star is freakin' brilliant. I love this soundtrack!

Character: 7/10
Most of your favorite characters from the KOF series are here:
Kyo Kusanagi: The Scion of the Flame
Iori Yagami: Unbridled Instinct
Terry Bogard: The Lone Wolf
Mai Shiranui: Ninja Girl Extraordinaire

Plus others like Ash Crimson, K', Rock Howard, Athena Asamiya, etc.
All of which have contributing elements to add to the story.

Naturally this story is based of the two KOF: Maximum Impact characters; Meira brothers, Alba & Soriee, our heroes of this anime.

Enjoyment: 7/10
Naturally as a fan of The King of Fighters, this one was a must watch for me, and I relatively enjoyed what I seen. Story was indulging, fight scenes were decently done, and the ending was good. If anything it'll get you in the mood to play KOF: Maximum Impact 2, what is what I will do after I finish this review. Though I can't necessarily say this anime is for everyone, it's definitely one of the better anime adaptations of a video game series. That being said, if you like fighting games, I say give it a watch.

Overall: 7/10
What is to say that hasn't already been said?
I am a KOF fan, and this is one anime that I would gladly pick up and watch again.
