[QUOTE="Mad Mac, post: 2033605, member: 27873"] Heh, I think you've stumbled unto a couple of factors at once there. 1. Many anime movies are extras, intended for fans of the T.V. shows, and don't really make sense to those who aren't already familiar with the series. There are a number of exceptions though. 2. A great deal of anime television series, in turn, are based on manga (comic books). As popular manga will often run for [I]years[/I], not many t.v. series actually succeed in covering an entire manga run before being cancelled. Also, the t.v. producers inevitibly add changes and side adventures to shape the story the way they want it. Lots of t.v. shows based on manga have "filler" episodes, designed to take up time while they wait for the next comic book chapter to be finished. Filler is rarely very good. :\ 3. Sometimes the movies are still better. ;) Street Fighter the Movie is waaay better than the Street Fighter T.V. show. (I think, officially, the t.v. show is considered a prequel) The show does have it's moments though. Ken vs Vega is a cool fight, and Zangief vs Guile isn't bad either. Not including Blanka is unforgivable, though. :mad: [/QUOTE]
