I think a smash anime would be more interesting if it were about the characters in smash. Still a neat intro though.

Ten bucks says within the next few years we'll have an anime about competitive gaming with references to real life figures.

We've already had anime about boxing, biking, swimming, basketball, soccer, video games in general, virtual reality Gundam battles, etc.

Competitive gaming anime is coming, mark my words

The only anime-esque part was the picture. I was expecting like a full video of that ****...not 8 seconds worth. I also found the song fairly cringe worthy.

But the Gary Oak Leffen villain bit was fairly funny.

I wasn't expecting just Melee. Melee isn't the only smash game, And for people who say its because the video is based off tournaments. Melee Is not the only smash game in tournaments.

Competitive gaming will get an anime eventually yeah, chances for Smash are small unless someone from the community pulls enough weight in that world.

If the guy who made those manga posters though get's a manga going stuff could happen...

I pressed 'no' because I spend too much time on SSB4 to watch any anime.

Wondering when I was an edgelord.
One word for video:

FAILURE

For one, Melee isn't all there is. You could at least have TRIED Project M for the video, if you NEED hyper competitive footage.

Second, where is the actual, you know, ANIME?! All I saw was gameplay footage and people at tournaments.

Third, a Smash anime would be about the characters. Not competitve high-level players, the actual Smash Characters. Anyone who says otherwise is an arrogant idiot.

I was expecting an animated (done to look like anime) short done to look like Melee's opening, not whatever that was.

Why would anyone make an anime about people playing smash instead of the characters in Smash, its stupid, dumb and a waste of potential.

People are getting too hung up on the fact that it's not animated but besides that it's totally put together in a typical shonen style anime opening.

Maybe it's not full anime but it's definitely half anime.
