Virtua Fighter (バーチャファイター), also known as Virtua Fighter: TV Animation Series, is a Japanese anime series loosely based on the Virtua Fighter video games, in particular Virtua Fighter 2. A total of 35 episodes were produced by Kyokuichi Tokyo Movie. It was released on VHS in Japan, the US and Europe, and on DVD in the US only.
