THE FUSE

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls’ public beta begins this weekend. In advance of that,developer Arc System Works has released the game’s opening movie and it is straight up an anime OP. Though there are probably some comic-book purists who don’t like seeing Marvel lean hard into other styles, after years of seeing Marvel superheroes looking bland and often greenscreened into their environments, any time I see these characters pop in a new style, especially one as expressive as anime styles tend to be, all set to an emotional rock anthem? You got me.
