Even as GG introduces UE, BB is heading in the opposite direction with TV in the form of a full TV anime adaptation, to the general relief of fans – most of whom seem prepared to overlook the generally abysmal fate of fighting game to anime adaptations.
Boasting staff involved in the production of such classics as To Aru Majutsu no Index and FMA, and the studio behind such classics as Seiken no Qwaser, Manyuu and Nazo no Kanojo X, the series certainly looks to enjoy a mixed pedigree and is scheduled for an autumn 2013 broadcast.

Noel fanservice incoming.
God, I hope so.
Thats a given bro! She got a girl-ass skirt, prepare to get your fill of pantsu shots all daaaaaaaaaay!
Oh FOR. FUCK'S. SAKE.
what? monku aruka??
No, Litchi and Makoto! :3
But Noel would be nice too, actually. I just expect less of that from the "main female" for some reason...
And ironically the one character with the most service shot will be Noel and not the titty monsters.
no need to be mean to the meaty ones... ._.
I'm certainly not adverse to more fanservice of Lacking Lady. She needs more love.
I'm suggesting ramping up the service on the Lacking Lady just to bully her.
But where's TAO!?
LITCHIIIIIIIIIII-DONO !! <3
O Yeah big titty Litch!
Its Hoods Entertainment you don't believe me look them up they produced Seiken no Qwaser.
But...I want MU-12...
Me too... That skin tight suit, ass like "DAUUUUUMMMMM" and an innocence so cute like a young girl~<3
I hope they choose to center on one character (ragna)... if they rush it to do all the characters I feel like it will turn out bad...
I want some Kokone fanservice NOW!!
I can definitely see myself watching this but I don't really expect it to be that great. Just had to put that out there.
Yeah something like Persona 4 right? Don't get me wrong I love Persona 4, but the anime was very average.
Well, it still did very well in compacting hours of play into an anime. It did well enough as an adaptation, but just can't replicate the original game.
Blazblue itself is probably going to follow the story mode.
Devil Survivor 2 anime is superior to Persona 4 anime by doing one thing: Reinterpreting certain events to make it more TV-worthy and giving the protagonist an actual personality.
Scrap that. That's two things.
sorry, but Yu had a defined personality. he's a deadpan snarker, serious but sassy, and we get to see his fears and emotions, unlike in the game.
Hopefully it will be good.
Well, at leats I'm sure It will be better than the shitty yaoi swimming anime of KyoAni.
well at least it won't create a landslide in the Philippines like next week's rains will
Obsess much? Two (official) posts from you, both about this swimming anime, neither in articles about said anime.
For someone that's so disgusted, you sure do seem fixated on it.
Akihito: I'm still super butthurt about that anime, so I am gonna bring it up here again!
I think he was just expecting easy upvotes, bringing it up so randomly like that.
i got bored with the game pretty fast, so i hope the anime is better.
I played the games and still don't fully understand the story, hopefully this helps..
Trust me when I say this:
IT WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT CONFUSE YOU MORE!
its going suck balls big time
Well, we all have our own opinions.
I am waiting for this and see if it any good before i judge, though.
My educated opinion on the matter is allowing me not to worry much. There's more chance that it will not only not "suck big balls", but it'll actually be good. Most anime adaptations of fighting anime have been cool, to say the least, and on top of that they have better material to work with for once.
So what fighting game anime would those be, anyway? Keep in mind that they'll need more than cool fight scenes.
For you they would need more than that, for a fan, cool fight scenes can be enough. They did well as merchandise and fanservice. Like I said, they were "cool", and I'd go ahead and say all anime adaptations of fighting games fit that bill well, with SF2:TAM being probably the most well made of the bunch.
THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING
REBEL 1: ACTION
Are they having completely different voice actors anime?
Only they are caught in the infinity loop.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this, considering that fighting game adaptations are a mixed bag at best. For every Street Fighter II, {animated movie} there is an Art of Fighting movie, and I'm hoping that Blazblue doesn't fall into the latter.
SF story in general is pure shit. Blazblue story is pretty detailed than all the fighters i played. I just know they going to fuck something up though.
the SF story had pretty much always been shit, yet the anime movie turned out well despite that... the reverse could happen in this case, but I'm optimistic
SF doesn't have a plot. Any semblence of a plot is actually cleverly disguised time sink which exists only to give players some variety between real gameplay.
And that's just fine. A game doesn't need epic storytelling to be fun.
Nothing needs "epic storytelling" to be fun, actually. Not everything has to be a masterpiece to be entertaining (at the least).
The art of fighting anime of kinda like fanservice of the non-sexual kind, that's all. It was just fun and it's not like it had much story to work with to begin with, so I felt it did a fine job of adapting what it had to.
SF2:TAM is an example of taking a lousy plot and making it into something more through direction. It was also written well... at least up until the final scene XD They did it again with the V series adaptation. It's no wonder that the games started to take inspiration from the animes, lol. The SF series had a better shot at anime with the Alpha series but they kinda fucked that up, especially with SF3 and SF4.
The Fatal Fury animes had a similar success as SF2:TAM, imo...
KOF: Another Day is the biggest fighting game anime tease ever.... besides the intro to Rival Schools. These could have been so awesome.. ;_;
And I don't care what anyone says, Variable Geo is at least way better than the games.
Tekken can't possibly do anything better than that first anime, which was OK... but now, it has a plot that has grown to such levels of nonsensical insanity that it even makes DBZ look silly. Blood Vengeance took that even further.
I just really want to see anime from Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur now. There is definitely those two can be done the right way, and it's especially not too late for DOA's case.
I'm never very concerned with anime adaptations of fighting games, there's always something to give them merit at least, but it's the non-anime ones we have to be careful with... I think only the first MK was acceptable in that case, lol.
Yeah, the story was so good that some people actually categorize the story mode as a Visual novel in VNDB...
The art of fighting anime of kinda like fanservice of the non-sexual kind, that's all. It was just fun and it's not like it had much story to work with to begin with, so I felt it did a fine job of adapting what it had to. As a fan of the games, I enjoyed it... it was entertaining and had some good laughs and cool fight scenes.
And then theres the Fatal Fury OVAs and movie that were freaking amazing
