Crunchyyroll has dropped the trailer for their slice-of-life comedy drama, Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games (aka Ai Tari Deshita), the anime adaptation of the 2020 manga series from Eri Ejima. The series begins streaming on July 7th.
The series is especially interesting for how it incorporates Street Fighter 6, with the characters from the series choosing a main from the Capcom series to identify with - so far these seem to be Juri, Ryu, Cammy and Ken. The original series used an original fighting game for the characters to interact with, but now we'll have a touch of the real-world within the anime.
Synopsis:
Mitsuki Aya has one goal at the elite Kuromi Girls’ Academy: to become a refined young lady like the school’s flawless “White Lily,” Yorue Mio. But her image of Mio shatters when Aya accidentally catches her...playing fighting games?! Turns out, the elegant Mio is actually a hardcore gamer—and she wants to duel Aya! The battle (and their friendship) begins.
