Street Fighter IV Gets Its Own Anime
CAPCOM has announced at the Tokyo Game Show that there will be an anime series for the upcoming Street Fighter IV and it will be produced by Studio 4°C.
Originally short clips of promotional materials were just produced to market the game itself. But they became so popular that the company decided to go ahead and let Studio 4℃ carry on with an entire series.
So basically it will be the same gang that worked on the original promotion clips. The artists are also the same, with Koji Morimoto (Animatrix) as supervisor, Jirou Kanai (Steamboy) as director, Akiko Saito (Spriggan) as CGI director, and Katsumi Matsuda (Spriggan, Steamboy) as character designer.
