Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games is a new anime that adapts the 2023 manga of the same name, and its title tells you a lot about it up front. The series follows two girls who have a love of fighting games but attend a girls’ school where video games are banned, and bond over fight sticks. The one major difference between the manga and the anime, however, is that the girls aren’t playing a fictional fighting game like they are in the printed version. Instead, they’re playing Street Fighter 6 . This change was first revealed last year , and it seems like the show’s cast will main Ryu, Ken, Cammy, and Juri . Associating each character with a different fighter is a smart move, as it will help viewers keep up with who is winning in the show’s matches. It does make Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games feel a little bit like an elaborate ad for Street Fighter 6 , but it also probably saves the animation team a lot of time if they’re not having to draw a whole new fighting game from scratch.…
