street fighter 4 - anime

after many years of not following street fighter franchise, i was pleasantly surprised to find that in street fighter 4 anime, many of the original characters made a return. the storyline is such that, since the last battle between ryu and ken, the both of them have parted ways, ryu in solitude and wanting to avenge the death of his master gouken and defeat his master's brother akuma. ken on the other hand has established himself as a rich tycoon and married his love eliza, but he is still unable to forget ryu his friend and rival. chun-li, cammy and guile end up investigating mysterious disappearance's of the world's top fighters and all of this links to ryu and his satsui-no-hado[murderous intent]. the climax was lame but other parts of the well written story was good-unlike the bloody lame movie which came out few months back the legend of chun-li. they totally ruined the character and screwed up everything solid about street fighter and the previous street fighter movie which came out in the 90's starring jean-claude van damme as guile was a another screw up of the franchise. never make a movie if you can't cast the right actors .....period. where the movies have failed the anime as succeeded, good story arc and excellent voice casting is definite plus point in street fighter 4. if i can rate it, i would give the show a 7.5/10- the lame ending causes point drops. but still to me i grew up with street fighter and it was one of my first anime's and game, no matter what, this show will always be special to me.
