REVIEW:
I did see the
first anime/movie
a few years back...
It was decent, but honestly not what I'd call one of my favorites. I think
Karas is maybe a little too "intricate" as a design visually,
and lacks some personality; but he is undeniably a badass in TvC and has
a great fighting style. I thought I'd like him
more though, because a lot of the other characters are more fun to use IMO. He still fits into Tatsunoko VS Capcom very well as
the "dark & mysterious" character.
