EPISODE REVIEWS
I was pretty happy with how the series ended. The finale gave the story a proper sense of closure, and I liked that it took its time with the ending instead of rushing through everything. It wrapped things up in a way that felt satisfying and gave the whole series a good finish. I’m glad it ended on a high note.
Was it just me or did both Ryu and Ken's bodies got toner on those ending visuals? They looked like they were body builders in that ending scene, though. I think that it concluded not in the way I wanted it to end. There were many plot holes that were not tackled, just so much unfinished business. The animation on that intense match was too kaleidoscopic, but I gave credit to that psycho crusher move — it was nostalgic.
All's well that ends well (is that how it goes?) kind of ending. No issues with that, it was satisfactory. I enjoyed watching Ken and Ryu's journey, through whatever it is we went through, and it was good. A little repetitive towards the end because Vega is a shit villain, but it's fine. The show as a whole is good for what it is even if you're not a fan of the Street Fighter IP. Plot aside, this show is best watched for the fights and characters, whether you deem them iconic or not. A solid 6 or 6.5 I would say, maybe the latter.
