New #kof Anime & TV Series
Following a Tweet this morning by Chanimaru, it appears a Chinese studio has acquired the license to begin a new animated series and live action series based on KOF.
The animated series may even start by first quarter of 2016!
Looking at the photo, the illustration on the poster is of KOF Zillion, a Hong Kong comic which took the storyline to new…. developments. This could mean the anime will go in directions not exactly expected… Then again, considering the last anime based on Maximum Impact with Falcoon’s characters taking over the storyline, perhaps nothing can go wrong.
As the production is aimed at China, it’s interesting to consider whether they will retell the kof 97 story, perhaps as a base, before going into the nests saga. I think we’d all like to see this animated regardless. In fact, President Mr. Li Yifei, is aiming to distribute this to the overseas market including Japan and North America!
Then the real question is how this all works with live action…. Most fighting games have not had a successful transition to live action, even with big budgets…. and that’s where this conversation ends.

I wish the protagonist IS going to be kyo
AWESOME!!!!!! but please if ya going to make live action. don’t let Gordon Chan be a director. cause it suck!!!!! like he know nothing about KOF.
The last anime with Ash Crimson was quite good, but too short. Hopefully this one is longer
I THINK ufotable or MADHOUSE Is Good Choice for Doing King Of Fighters Tv Anime Adaptation.

That sounds awesome
Should be good. Remember how awesome KOF: Another Day was?
HO YEAHHH
omg! Jayson Moya Badion
Finally a KOF anime. Can’t say a live action series would be a good idea; did the live action movies based on fighters released earlier not give them the hint??
Tough choices to make as to who wins some matches, always hated the comics for putting kyo and iori on god like levels
meh
Just make it happen
Oh yeah i forgot about this….hopefully it turns out decent. Video games shows usually…aren’t especially if its toss to some studios.
Bad or not, cool that KOF gets the anime treatment like Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown (yeah yeah MI series had a thing, wasn’t anything special : p).
