Your best and worst anime based on a video game

[greg]

HA! Okay, so this is totally a tangent now, but while playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the Dreamcast CONSTANTLY in my tiny apartment in Himeji (I can't believe that was 14 years ago), whenever Cammy would pull off her super move we could swear that it sounded like, "DESTROY SOCCER!" Whenever she'd say that, we would say, "But soccer isn't that bad of a sport! It's actually nice." With Cyclops's uppercut move he says, "gene splice!" But my friend would say, "Jesus Christ!"

My personal favorite has to be Street Fighter II the animated movie. Other personal favorites are Popolocrois. I have watched hajimari no bouken but haven't played the game.

I have a friend who has watched the Arc the Lad anime and said he hated it.

But I think it is a universally accepted fact that Tekken is the worst anime ever.

But I think it is a universally accepted fact that Tekken is the worst anime ever.

Despite its flaws, I don't think that the Tekken anime deserves the reputation it seems to have.

No, it's not particularly accurate to the storyline of the games (though it does borrow quite a bit), and Kazuya's eyebrows look ridiculous. However, I didn't find the effort put into Tekken to be of significantly lower caliber than some other fighting game adaptations of the time.

Personally, I find Tekken much more interesting than the Panzer Dragoon anime.

Whoah. There was a Panzer Dragoon anime? In person, this is where I would do my impression of Dana Carvey doing his impression of Johnny Carson and say, "I did NOT know that. That's some wild, wacky stuff. Did you know that, Ed?" Then Phil Hartman as Ed McMahon saying, "NO SIR!"

I actually did know about it, only because it was one of the anime reviewed by Ramza of Dragon Ball Blast who I relied on a lot when I first got into seriously buying and not renting titles. I never checked it out based on his review, though: https://web.archive.org/web/20020614053 ... ragoon.htm Here's my favorite part, as I'm going back and reading this again:

If you're an insane fan of the video game I guess there's no way I can actually hold you back from getting this. Otherwise, stay away at all costs!

Maybe I should check it out after 15+ years and see if he was right after all?

I rented the Panzer Dragoon anime a long ass time ago. Man, I vaguely remembered it.
