NIGHTWARRIORS: DARKSTALKER'S REVENGE
==========================
INTRODUCTION:
==========================
Hi there... How are you doing guys!!? Hope you are fine.... Well this time I've decided to write a simple review about a very good anime for me, it's about Nightwarriors: Darkstalker's Revenge... Well I guess many of you heard about the infamous 2D fighting game which is called (Darkstalkers or Vampire Savior or Vampire Hunter) well as you know this game and anime was created by the one of the most famous fighting game creations company, Capcom, the makers of the famous Street Fighter and Mega Man series... This anime was brought to us by Viz in 4 OVAs and each one of them is 40 minutes long, Viz also produced 6 comics for the NightWarriors... Well I don't know what to say but being a fan of fighting games since I was a little kid I have to say that I like both the games and the anime... It's really a very cool fighting game, as for the anime I really like it as one of my favorite fighting animes around, I know some of you might not like this but as for me it's one of the coolest animes... Well many people thinks the anime is not good because it's based on a fighting game and to them the anime which is based on games are not cool but of course I disagree, because I enjoyed watching the anime, not because I am a big fighting animes fan or maybe because I like Darkstalker's game but because it was real good with these characters and amazing insanely battles... Anyway before I begin, I would like to thanks alot of people, of course one of the first is the Darkstalkers Domian webmaster for some great and cool informations, pics, manga's covers...etc I also would like to thanks for the guys who submitted faqs for Game Faqs site, not to forget to thanks everybody who submitted informations about Nightwarriors all around the network, I really appreciate it... I also would like to give credits for the following guys: Katokiti, Raven Knight, Aki Mizusawai, Lord Jedah, Hell Storm, Dark Setsuna, Capcom, Euhang and everyone who made DarkStalkers sites on the net, I really thanks them and appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, because without them I couldn't create and write in this thread so they deserves a big thanks... Anyway, Let's get going...

REVIEW:
======================
The story: 7/10
The characters: 9/10
The animations: 8/10
The musics: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
THE STORY:
The story of the anime is very cool, I like it, it's pretty cool to see Pyron trying to rule the universe, one fighting himself and one fighting to be the Demons king, one for for the popularity, one to help a friend, one for all and all for one... The story of the anime is very nice and I am sure you will like it but you know something I like the game storyline better, the anime storyline all connected by Pyron, anyway it's pretty good story for a fighting game that's what I think, Donovan's story owns, since his blood cursed and they show how he suffer from that and what he will do to throw away the evils inside him, also as he always say, if one want to be strong he should be fighting himself, but sadly they missed Jedah in the anime, I really wished to see him in the anime and I can grantee he would a very damned and cool boss, since Pyron and Demitri did it already... One of the most things I like in the anime is the storyline, I know many of you when he watch the anime he will say the anime sucks or anything like this, but that's wrong, if you are a hardcore Darkstalker's fan and if you read the guide book I am sure the story will be one of the most intresting thing in this anime, because the story is very deep and big, but sadly the anime couldn't detail everything about their big story since many things are connected, just like the Demons World and UnderWorld just like Demitri, Morrigan...etc Well as for the anime story, it's that Demitri has revived once again to be the only ruler of the darkness and evils, he faces some new enemies who is standing in his way so he should prepare for one of his biggest battles, Donovan a dhampire, who hate himself for having a dark blood, found himself that he should protect a little girl named Anita because he felt that she and her have the same personality ad they share alot of things together, well Donovan wasn't very happy to see the little girl without smile and it was cause of Darkness which was created by the evils for their hungers of powers and to rule the universe, in the top of list there was Pyron, who wished to be the absolute ruler of the universe, and has threaten the mankind, so Donovan vowed himself, he will fight the evil and darkness untill the last second in his life... Of course the story is focused mainly on Donovan, Demitri, Morrigan and Pyron, as for the others, they are fighting for themselves, for their own reasons... Anyway all I have to say that the story is very cool and I think you will like it but as we all know everybody has his own opinion...
THE CHARACTERS:
All I can say about the characters is "AWESOME" they are absolutly originals, I really liked the characters designes and profiles, there are alot of great characters and of all sorts, Humans, Demons, Zombies, Were Wolf, Bat, Vampire and even a Supreme Being, I like alot of Darkstalkers such as Demitri, Pyron, Jedah...etc but sadly in the anime there are some missing characters such as Jedah (My favorite character of all time) also Lillith, Baby Bonnie Hood and Queen Bee... But that's not a big problem, as you all know it's pretty hard to make alot of character in only 4 episodes and especially if each one is just like a boss, so we have Demitri, Morrigan, Pyron, Jedah, also alot others so they can't connect all of them in one story... Also some of the characters in the anime are far better from what they were in the games, and especially Pyron, he really was very cool in the anime, he was too strong fighting all the Darkstalkers and beating the hell out of them... Also not to forget those flaming stuff around him, same goes for Demitri, he is very cool in the anime but yet he is also cool in the games, and to the top of the list come the Dark Warrior Donovan, I really liked this guy in the anime, he was a sad and lone fighter who just fights to live and to know more about his destiny, being half demon and half human gives him some great personality you know... But I guess they should make the appearance of the others characters more than once, I mean Lord Raptor should appears more than just one time, his music party was damn cool hehe, same goes for the great demon Bishamon and even some of the characters didn't appeared at all just like Rikku, Pharaoh...etc they only appeared against Pyron and were defeated badly by him without giving them the chance to show how good they are... Anyway about the characters style, well everyone has his own style, Donovan's style is the best, I like his style a cold fighter, with some evils inside him, showing mercy to needy ones and full of rage against the ones who bothers him, kinda remind me of D from (Vampire Hunter D series) also there alot more such as Demitri and Pyron and they all have their own style... Well anyway to everybody his own, though...
THE ANIMATIONS:
The art style of this anime really amazed me, it was fantastic and damn good, the animations were nicely done, for the years when this anime was first released I think it was hard to find good animations and art on that time but yet Nightwarriors proved to us that they can really be creative... Well being a fan of the series, I think the art in the anime was far better than the games, especially for Pyron, just look for Pyron in the games and see the difference in the anime, I really prefer the anime art to the games, both art style and good quality, it's not a surprise from a good working team like this... They really did some nice work and finally it resualted this very awesome animation, I really appreciate the team efforts... Nightwarriors animation is one of my favorite animation comparing to the other ones on it's time, true not as good as the Saint Seiya Hades or Full Metal Panic or any new animes outta there because Nightwarriors is an old anime compared to them but yet as I said before, for that time it is very good and I am sure some of you gonna like it...
THE MUSICS:
Well, as for the musics, of course they have alot of cool musics... Well I always liked the game musics but sadly the musics in the anime was different from the games, but of course I am not trying to say it sucks but it's very good too but I prefer the games's musics, though... Anyways. there are some great musics while the fighters fight, especially Pyron's fight against the Darkstalkers, also when Demitri and Morrigan fight... These musics really gived a good taste for the fighting scenes, which there are some of them... Sadly there is no much sad musics, as you all know I like sad musics, I am saying that I wished if there were some of the old style musics and symphony but that's not really a big deal, because most of the animes don't have the old style musics such as Saint Seiya or Grendizer...etc Generally, I think the musics were very good and many of my friends said exactly the same thing, so knowing that there are alot of people who thinks the music is good then it means it doesn't sucks or else they wouldn't like it, though....
OVERALL:
Well Since you all know this, I am a very big fighting anime fan, so this is one of my favorite fighting animes of all time... Many people thinks that if a game turned to anime it will sucks well I really don't agree because this one is very good... The story is nice and cool in my opinion, true it's fighting but not like the other fighting animes who just fight for their amusement but this anime have a deeper story... The story is not only fighting but it's related to the entire universe along with vampires, demons, zombies and supreme beings... As for the characters, I really liked the characters, there were alot of them and I can name them: Donovan (The Main Character), Demitri, Pyron, Bishamon...etc Donovan's story was pretty deep and sad, hating himself because he have Demon's blood... True they couldn't give a chance for many characters because of the time, if they have more time I am sure they will put more stuffs for the characters... Man I like the fight scenes in this great anime, it was really amazing, especially Pyron's fight... I also like the fight of the Demitri with these robots along with the help of Morrigan... As for the animations, some maybe hate it for some reasons known to themselves, but as for me it's really very good, the backgrounds, the speed of the animating and the picture they all were nicely done, I am not saying because I like the anime but I am saying what I just saw... As for the musics, I like it really and many people agree with me I already met alot of people who just said that the musics are good it's true it's damn true, because I liked the musics it was nice indeed... Well everything about this anime is cool in my opinion, the story is intresting, the characters are awesome, the animation is amazing...etc Well if you are a fighting anime fan then you should check this out, it's very cool and I am sure you will like it, maybe not! Who knows! anything might happen... Comparing to other fighting animes or animes which were based on games such as Fatal Fury, Street Fighter, Samurai Showdown, Toshinden...etc I think this one is one of my favorites really, I maybe like it more than Fatal Fury and Street Fighter, well don't be mad but to everybody his own... I don't know what to say more but all I have to say give it a shot and maybe you are going to like it... Well that's what I have to say about this anime...
