Title: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: DatKofGuy on June 19, 2017, 11:00:30 am
Trailer
Quote
Presenting a brand new CG Anime series for the world-renowned fighting game series, THE KING OF FIGHTERS! The story centers on iconic KOF characters such as Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Geese Howard, and Ryo Sakazaki! Many voice actors from the game series also reprise their roles! Experience the epic KOF storyline as never before with this new CG anime! Releasing this summer with a total of 24 episodes planned!
I can't remember where I saw this posted before, but I figured since SNK finally posted the subbed trailer today I may as well start a thread. I like how its called KOF Destiny, but seems to follow the Fatal Fury storyline more... (and yes I know the first Fatal Fury was subtitled the King of Fighters, but this trailer shows Kyo and mentions the Orochi)

Geese is always fun at parties.

Post by: Speedpreacher on August 04, 2017, 11:06:57 pm
A little too much slapstick IMO
Also the idea that Geese just walks around town in the hakama is hilarious but I get that they probably didn't want to build a Young Geese model for one scene

The Animation looks like from an older Tekken Cutscene, but I can live with that, it was interessting so far, and I loved it to hear some classic KoF Music in the opening and closing credits, but I was a little bit surprised by some things like Benimaru's behavior, or that Jeff Bogart would apparently carry round the Scroll all the time.

Watched the first free episode. CGI looks bad... Like it´s not done or something. The faces look lifeless, like dolls. No lip synch with the jap. voice work.
Not my cup of tea.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Speedpreacher on August 05, 2017, 08:24:01 pm
I also think trying to work the Fatal Fury 1 storyline into things is a mistake since that's involved enough to have its own anime
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Byakko on August 05, 2017, 09:01:35 pm
It feels to me like they're going to try and link the scrolls with introducing Orochi instead of just being the current game's macguffin with no background. It's the only real way to make the FF and KoF storylines actually connect instead of everyone just being there, considering they already mentioned yet skipped the FF games being the original King of Fighters tournaments.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Speedpreacher on August 05, 2017, 09:09:35 pm
I'm just really iffy on it because it has to end with Terry punching Geese out of a building (and I guess running off with his kid since I saw Rock listed in the credits) and unless Geese is the guy running this particular tournament that's going to be a real weird aside to the story
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Byakko on August 05, 2017, 09:35:29 pm
Maybe Geese already fell off, and we'll see him both in flashbacks for the previous tournaments (I felt the sudden jump to random flashback was weird btw) and maybe a bit in the parts leading up to Rugal, but without being directly involved in the tournament (assuming KoF timeline instead of FF, where he doesn't actually die from the fall). We're already pretty sure that this tournament is held by Rugal anyway (R stamp seal in the intro and the letter the Kusanagis received has the same red stamp seal although we don't see its front).
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Santtu on August 05, 2017, 10:16:00 pm
His appearance is confirmed anyway and he has no reason to appear if he's not running the tournament.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Lichtbringer on August 05, 2017, 11:39:41 pm
The King of Fighters timeline was always a separate timeline that mixed everything together, Geese can still appear even if Rugal is the current host, it is probably like in KoF 96 where Geese was also still alive.
Terry can still power geyser him out of his Tower at a later Point after the tournament.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Bastard Mami on August 06, 2017, 01:38:13 am
no need to, geese keeps on sending teams to kof behind the scenes all the time, he does not need to be a boss, organizer or even participate.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Byakko on August 06, 2017, 01:54:38 am
Yeah, in the KoF timeline he doesn't need to be an active player, I expect him to serve as only the big bad in the flashbacks for the Bogard subplot and beyond that just an exposition mechanism for the scrolls and introducing Orochi, then maybe as a random wall to take down because of his strength but without any impact on the "present day" Rugal arc. Although if they want to give Terry a reason to be in KoF, they might still have Geese still pursue Orochi on his own, but still be contained in his own relationship with Terry and have no effect on the plot. As in, Terry would serve to cockblock him from obtaining the power of Orochi while resolving his own story.

You mean as far as KoF is itself a mix of FF and AoF... ?
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Bastard Mami on August 13, 2017, 01:18:51 am
back when kof was getting yearly releases there was the stuff that was in game plot AND we also got small summaries of what happened to the teaqms before the tournaments in teh website/gaming magazines. that is why some charcters are still involved in kof plto even fi they don't appear in the games.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)

I meant storywise.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Byakko on August 13, 2017, 05:01:04 pm
Question still applies. I'm not familiar with the details of the FF and AoF stories but unless directly stated otherwise, there's no reason to think the same things didn't happen in KoF timeline, as long as it doesn't clash with the sliding timeline of FF + AoF against the KoF timeline. KoF never bothered talking about the Geese/Jeff confrontation, it doesn't mean it didn't happen as it did in FF, so they showed it here because they're summing up everyone's stories, from FF and AoF all the same. We even just got Geese messing with the Kyokugen dojo and Yuri is going somewhere on her own, so yeah, it's pretty obvious where they're going with that.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Santtu on August 13, 2017, 06:19:24 pm
To me it looks like its intertwining the plots of the first games in the three series. KOF 94: Rugal sends the Japan team the invites to the tournament (which seems to take place only in South Town?). FF: Terry returns to South Town for the KOF tournament so he can take revenge on Geese, who also has the Jin scroll. AOF: Yuri goes missing and Ryo and Robert go around South Town looking for her. And it's all happening at the same time.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Byakko on August 13, 2017, 07:14:25 pm
Yeah, that's where it looks like it's going. The only weird thing about this is that Benimaru and the Kusanagis were saying that this wasn't the first "king of fighters" tournament and the previous were only 1v1, which refers to the ff games, but Geese hasn't been tossed off any roof yet and it should be Rugal organizing it. Geese looks to be only a participant and not the organizer (even attacking other participants before), which means Terry isn't going there for the tournament. If he's just there for Geese, maybe when Geese enters the tournament, Terry decides to join too, and we'll see the roof drop in the Rugal tournament ? That would give stronger grounds for the idea that Geese is trying to connect the scrolls with he power of Orochi that Rugal is trying to uncover or something. That would work well. Krauser would be Terry's season 2 subplot I guess.

Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Bastard Mami on August 21, 2017, 08:04:22 pm
I'd have to listen to the actual japanese, just watched the 3 episodes a few days ago and noticed the word geese uses to call jeff brother is "ani" which is short of aniki, which is used in certain organizations (yakuza, gangs, martial arts dojos) to talk about someone up in the ladder, in the case of geeese and jeff being students in the same dojo and jeff being the one wiht the higher(est?) hierarchy it's normla for geese to call him aniki, or rather, ani which has a moking tone.
now well, they really did mix the ff1 and the kof94(5?) plots , i guess that's a good way to give a of time to terry without making the kusanagi stuff seem unimportant; the most annoying "change" is beni's personality, I understand them using his battle outfit for his everyday instead of his alt design if just to save on modeling costs, but him being a bigger walking joke than joe is not that nice; joe is supossed to be th failed womanizer while beni is the succesful one.
Title: Re: KOF Destiny (CGI Animated Series)
Post by: Byakko on August 21, 2017, 08:15:46 pm
She says giri no chichi, which is probably supposed to be in the sense of stepfather or foster father, which it apparently can be (because why make it simple), instead of most commonly father in law (but it's literally symbolic father / father by duty, basically father not related by blood). I'm not too sure exactly how formal or informal the term is and she's speaking pretty formally, so I dunno.

Quality notwithstanding, this treatment of Geese is actually surprisingly nice, you rarely get to see his full point of view at once, you could almost feel sorry for him (well, you know, if he wasn't a mafia boss who controls an entire city's underworld while seeking the power of an extinction-happy demon god).

I know that's your gimmick, drewski, but come on
They are already paying a Chinese and Japanese voice cast, KOF 14 has no dub, and these are free 8-10 minute cartoons with poor to average CG on their good days
Are you really wondering or did you want an excuse to talk about Pokemon voice actors or whatever

while I have been mostly skiping the intro, did it change this episode, I think i saw new fight scenes there, it seems as if they want to put some attention to the female team (which is next) and that is why they went so low budget with this episode.
and yes, this episode confirms what my feeling on the overall quality of the animation feels to me, like a game's cut scene.

They are treating Benimaru as the "best friend" stereotypical character that is in every anime and using Robert as a joke character... Almost every character is misrepresented. I want to quit watching this but at the same time i want to support so that SNK will do more anime/series but man this is painful to watch.

94's the first KOF Tourney Rugal hosted. Back when the Black Noah still functioned, he simply wanted to feel more powerful by defeating (or possibly killing) the champions of the tournament, which also explains why he has that statue collection of people he has previously defeated. Kyo, Beni and Daimon end up foiling his plan as he goes down with his ship.
95 is when Kyo meets up with his main rival Iori. Meanwhile, Rugal, who everyone supposedly thinks died from the last tourney, kidnaps Kyo's dad Saisyu and brainwashes him to fight his son during the second to last match of the tourney. 95 is also the first tournament that gives passing mention to the Orochi Power, and serves as a precursor to Goenitz's introduction. Also worth noting that Rugal canonically dies after transforming into his "Omega" form, being defeated by Kyo and being overtaken by the Orochi Power.
Judging by context, this and KOF Destiny are both supposed to have their own sort of spin on the KOF Lore, since some things I listed here don't match up with Destiny's storyline.

Yeah it seems Destiny and Awaken will make up a retelling of the Orochi Saga itself, not the games that make it, introducing both Iori and Goenitz (In full) in Awaken with Destiny killing off Rugal.

They already mixed some stuff from 95 in the first series with Rugal going Omega etc.

Stop being like that. You know that while they share similarities, in canon they're not the same thing. They're not SFA/SFA2

If you made a series about 94 then a series about 95, you would get a lot of people very annoyed that you did the same thing twice. At least it would greatly reduce the production cost.

Well I am optimistic to see where they plan on taking this forward. Who knows we might get to see them some point in the films/series.
