New anime series Taiarideshita. ~Ojō-sama wa Kakutō Gēmu nante Shinai~ reveals teaser trailer and collaboration with Street Fighter 6

The eccentric comedy series Taiarideshita. ~Ojō-sama wa Kakutō Gēmu nante Shinai~ (Eng. It Was a Duel. ~A Young Lady Doesn’t Play Fighting Games~) will celebrate its TV premiere in 2025. A first teaser trailer offers glimpses into the world of Kurobi Girls' Academy, an elite school where students passionately play fighting games—defying all societal expectations.

The protagonist Aya Mitsuki (voice: Ikumi Hasegawa) and her rival Mio Yoemi (voice: Kana Ichinose) deliver heated duels in the game Street Fighter 6 in the trailer, which is officially integrated into the anime's storyline. The series not only explores competitive spirit but also rebellion against stereotypes, as "exemplary young ladies" secretly storm arcades.
