Street Fighter II V (DVD)

Ugh, I can see why this series never gets talked about that often. The first half of the series is actually pretty good -some nice animation, some of the fights were good (Ryu Vs. Guile especially) and the plots made sense. But then things start to get stupid when the main characters head to Spain. The fight between Ken and Vega was OK, but the stuff that happens after that...there must have been behind the scenes problems with this anime, like them having the budget halved suddenly or something. There is so much stock footage, for example. Every time Ryu throws a fireball he uses the same animation which goes on and on. And there are so many unanswered plot points! Was Dorai OK? What happened to Zoltar? Why did Shadowlaw have that land? What was that eagle head thing all about? The ending was abrupt and unsatisfying, and it was if there was meant to be more episodes but they just had to cut it short. Overall Street Fighter II V started strongly but just fell apart after the half way mark.
