I haven't even watched the anime, I bought this game to play it with my sister because she likes it. I wasn't expecting much but the combat in this game is really fun and doesn't leave much to be desired, the attacks are satisfying to hit and the characters are fun to play as. The story mode has that low-budget charm to it and it's a blast to play through with a friend. I'd recommend this even if you don't know shit about the show like me.
