    It's impossible that this anime is so loved

    Then a lot of years have passed since all the few people who gave good faces to this anime adaptation of Virtua Fighter So I have to tell you that some time ago I loved this anime a lot when I was very young and instead seeing it again when I grew up I realized when it isthis anime is stupid I swear to you And then I don't accept at all that this was a very good adaptation of the video game but there are also much worse ones I swear to you I tried several times to Mallo but I didn't succeed because of these things The the problem is the two charactersmain Let's start with Akira who was really a bad character I swear to you because I hated Akira very much the old ones made him really too stupid he may be the important character but I can't understand why a person is half a hero and the other half a complete idiot he isas if he really had two different personalities But both of you think you're both stupid but now let's move on to the other character i.e. Pike was really very bad because I really found her to be a more hateful character or rather she is one of the most hateful characters ever put together acartoon and then she always has it against Akira every day because of the garlic ravioli problems because every moment she has with him she really treats him too badly like Akira And then because he always continues to save her always her portrayed only badly I just can'tunderstand all this is some people say but the fighters are beautiful Yes but if all this is based only on the fighting but otherwise it's really stupid for me it wasn't a beautiful anime at all and I was in the first person who made the bad review But I don't say thatit's much uglier but I really can't pass it if you really want to see a fighting anime Watch Street Fighter Victory instead to conclude rating 5.

    Old and good

    Virtua Fighter is an old and good anime that holds a special place in my heart as a nostalgic gem from my childhood. I remember eagerly watching it after school, immersing myself in the world of martial arts and captivating characters. The series revolves around the honorable warrior, Akira Yuki, who embodies the true essence of martial arts as a means of self-defense and combating evil.

    What sets Virtua Fighter apart is its focus on traditional martial arts, showcasing Akira's disciplined and principled approach to combat. The anime beautifully captures the essence of each fighting style, making every battle an exhilarating experience. The animation, although dated by today's standards, still manages to deliver impactful fight sequences that keep you hooked.

    The storytelling is straightforward yet engaging, driven by Akira's journey to protect the innocent and confront the forces of darkness. The anime skillfully balances action and character development, exploring the motivations and growth of not only Akira but also his allies and adversaries. The dynamic interactions between the diverse cast of fighters add depth and complexity to the plot, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

    As I rewatch Virtua Fighter, the familiarity and nostalgia are overwhelming. It's like revisiting a treasured part of my childhood, evoking a sense of joy and excitement. The anime holds up remarkably well, reminding me of the simpler times when I eagerly anticipated each episode.

    While Virtua Fighter may not boast cutting-edge visuals or complex storytelling, its timeless charm and focus on Akira's unwavering dedication to justice make it a worthwhile watch for fans of martial arts and those seeking a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
