Metal Slug: The Animation

**Metal Slug: The Animation** is an anime web series based on the video game of the same name created by SNK, unlike *The King of Fighters Destiny*, the series uses the traditional 2D animation used in the game *Metal Slug 3 Pachinko*.

## Synopsis

It was the year 2028. The evil General Morden and his rebel army has launched a coup d'état on the world's governments, and all attempts by the armies of the various countries to curtail his growing power fail. His most recent attack has given him access to a new form of all-terrain combat tank dubbed "Metal Slug". In a last effort to stop Morden, Cpt. Marco Rossi and Lt. Tarma Roving of the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force are sent to locate and eliminate his powerbase, as well as reclaim or destroy any Metal Slugs they can find so as to keep the technology out of Morden's hands.
