Ironically enough, before hearing about this game's existence I didn't care much for anime but thought this game looked really cool. Despite having introduced me to One Piece, my all-time favorite anime, and also broaden my horizons to several others, it didn't stop me from expressing my distaste for it when I finally got the game. After starting the game, I got bored within 30 minutes. The 4 story modes are practically identical to one another and the game gets repetitive very quickly and feels somewhat janky at times. There are some anime brawlers that improve over this game, but the genre as a whole just doesn't work or at the very least needs a rehaul. Besides having a decent roster and a few sentimental ties to this game, it really isn't that good and there are much better fighting games out there.
