, or KOF for short, is a fighting game series by SNK that debuted in 1994. It combined elements from two of its existing fighting game series (Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting) and reintroduced characters from games predating the Neo-Geo (such as Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier). Unique among fighter franchises, The King of Fighters released a sequel each year and named each game for its year of release. However, this naming system posed problems similar to those with sports games named by year: once the new yearly edition debuts, consumers often perceive the previous year's edition as outdated and less desirable to own. Additionally, SNK could not always release its console version of the arcade game in the same year for which it was titled. For example, The King of Fighters 2003 for the PlayStation 2 did not premiere in the United States until February of 2005. Furthermore, with its increasingly sophisticated concept, graphics, and gameplay, The King of Fighters became extremely difficult to update on an annual schedule. Therefore, in December 2004, The King of Fighters 2003 artist Falcoon revealed that SNK Playmore had ceased the yearly sequel updates to the series in favor of an irregular release schedule and a naming scheme without dates. The most recent game in the series, The King of Fighters XI, premiered on October 26, 2005.

During August 2005, an anime series based upon KOF entitled Another Day was announced. It debuted at the Tokyo Game Show about a month later. Production I.G produces the title as an original net animation. There are a total of four episodes, each about 10 minutes in length (but considerably less, when accounting for the end credits). Fansubbers from around the world have produced fansubs in many languages as each episode was released. It has since been released as a bonus DVD, packaged with The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2.
