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.
