Editorial Review:
The OVA Alpha Generations serves as a prequel to the popular Street Fighter continuity that includes two movies, a TV series, and another OVA. (There's also a live-action Street Fighter based on the same video game.) Ryu returns to the mountains where he lived as a child to visit the grave of his original martial arts master: Gouken was killed by Gouki, a renegade student who embraced the "dark Hadou." Much of the back story is related by an old monk who helps Ryu in his training and explains the ancient origins of the evil Hadou that turned Gouki into a demon. The monk's wisdom and the gentle presence of his granddaughter prepare Ryu for his inevitable battle with Gouki. The minimal plot unfolds in disjointed fragments, but fans of the Street Fighter series aren't looking for compelling narratives: As four members of Japanese cast say in the special feature, "watch the fighting scenes." (Unrated, suitable for ages 15 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Rating:  - The 2nd worst SF movie ever made!!
The worst SF movie ever made is the live action movie. This is almost as bad. I got nothing good to say about this crapfest. Why does ryu look like the dude from virtua fighter? The animation is the worst I have ever seen from anything streetfighter. Ken was non existent. Man seriosly I could go on and on about what is so bad about this movie. On top of that its short also. I dreamed to see Akuma in battle and I am very disappointed. Seriously there is nothin' to see here. Skip this and pick up Baki ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best addition to street fighter Yet.
Street Fighter Alpha Gen. Is a cool movie and even better was the story that delved into akuma. One of street fighters most mysterious and cool characters. I loved the animation and the plot was very well written. Generations is a must buy for street fighter fans and even more so to anime fans in general.
Rating:  - Not teeken but decent
This is about the fourth street fighte movie that been made since the original game was released 20 years ago back in mid 1980s. A word of warning due to mild violence frequent super graphic and gory distubring images, in addition to occasional nudity, and drug use this movie might not be appropriate or may be questionable to kids unde the age of 14 depending on what there parent's or guardians think is appropriate for there age. This is a really short movie about 3/4 the runing time of the Tekken movie. ... Read More
Rating: - Awful, awful, AWFUL
I waited five years for this piece of junk? THe sotry was nonsensical/non existent, and the animation horrid. Also, what was up with the character designs in this film?
I keep forgetting Ken was in this; he doesn't DO anything except react and make comments I'm sure are pithy in Japan.
There was so little fighting in an anime based off a fighting game. There's just NO excuse. I actually started hitting FWRD on my DVD player to see if anything actually happened!

Rating: - Extremely disappointed
Wow, was I disappointed in this movie. I really really wanted to like it, as I am a hardcore Street Fighter fan. This movie had so much potential that it never reaches... I almost feel like the creators made this movie strictly with the thought that it would do well just because of the SF name, and didn't care about the quality.
The artwork and animation is very substandard for an anime, and can't even come close to comparing to SF Alpha the movie. In fact, when I first saw Ryu, I wasn't even sure ... Read More
