Summary: A splendid peek into the world of the dark!
Review: From the opening credits to the final credits, Night Warriors is a great series that should go other great anime movies that have been brought over, Street Fighter and Fatal Fury. Vol. 2 has less action then Vol. 1, taking more enphasis to story-line. Everything in this series screams of greatness.

Summary: Where the hell is Felicia and Jon
Review: I bought this dvd and it was o.k. But i don't see the need to have every episode focus on Donovan. I hate Donovon. Where the hell were Anakaris, Raptor, Demitri, Morrigan and most importantly Jon and Felicia. They should have focused more on the love between Morrigan and Demitri instead of those bitchy Darkstalker hunting sisters. They should have shown more Raptor, Felicia and Jon instead of having Donavan bitch about his blood. Just kill your self if you hate your self so much. Worse still Sasquatch, Victor, and Anakaris are only shown getting beaten up by Pyron. This is o.k. and great for any fans of the game, but don't focus on the crappiest charecters.

Summary: Scary eyes
Review: I give this 4 stars because Felicia scares me with her mean eyes. Hehe, great anime! Oh no I think I'm hooked AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIEEEEEE (Dubbed is a lot better than subtitled, wheee!)

Summary: Morrigan was hot, but that's about it.
Review: I got the first episode on VHS and I liked it alright. It had most of the characters and was enjoyable. Then I made the mistake of buying the other three. I was very disappointed, they didn't even have Lord Raptor in any later ones and they just kept centering on a really boring story line. The whole thing didn't make much sense at all. I'm sure I'm going to get people voting that this wasn't helpful because they know the backstory of the Darkstalkers and will have figured out the story fast, but as someone going in with a (mostly) blank slate, it was just confusing. I do give it a lot of credit for the fights, because those were GREAT, but I take a lot away because of Donovan droning on and on about his dark blood, everybody saying "the dark" at least once in every sentance, and worst of all the final episode and ending.

Summary: Pointless but cool anyways...
Review: I watched volume 2 of this series really not understanding the point of some of the characters. Granted, the first volume wasn't anymore great at introducing them, the second one seems to just pour character after character onto the screen for video game fans to drool over. But all that aside, Vol. 2 of this series is awesome because of it's one saving grace...original characters that can really fight. The action sequences are just flat out eye candy for any Darkstalker or Anime fan. Don't pay too much attention to the plot and you'll be fine (Note-the story seems rushed at the end). The dialouge also seems a little funny because of the mention of "The Dark" in every sentence and the philosophical aura behind each word some characters say (i.e. Donovan)comes off meaningful at some points, yet will leave you scratching your head saying "huh" at others. Just don't take it too seriously and love every minute of the stunning art.

Summary: perfect
Review: If you have a DVD and are going to buy Darkstalkers,..your getting a deal. You save money on the DVD and get all the extra stuuf. This anime is the best video-game to movie-screen translation Ive seen. The characters were drawn jaust as they should have been and all the moves are in the movie. The animation is 'cool'. Good stary which mostly follows Donavon, Anita, the sisters, Morrigan, and Dimiri.

Summary: Nice work, but shouldn't they change the hero?
Review: The animation did a great job in bringing the game world to screen; However, since it tries to put most of the characters (Vampire / Vampire Hunter / Vampire Savior) on the stage, it becomes inevitable to be fragmented in some way. For me, it will be huch more enjoyable if they put Demitori / Morrigan / Jedah as the main character - not the Donovan. The ending just doesn't feel right if you are familiar with the game, since Donovan is commonly regarded as the weakest one (like Dan in the Street Fighter series).

Summary: The BEST fighting anime, period
Review: This is easily the best fighting game anime out there. With great characters fights, and even an interesting plot, this is a great choice for action anime fans. Not only that, the DVD presentation is on this disc is particularly good, with animated menus, trailers, photo galleries, and other extras. Viz and Pioneer went all out with this one. Another surprising point is that although the japanese 5.1 track is higher quality overall, I find that I enjoy some of the English voice actors better (esp. Morrigan and Dimitri). This is a rarity in most anime and makes watching this film in dub or sub equally enjoyable.

Summary: Slow Beginning, Excellent Ending
Review: Viewing the entire movie, I can tell you that it is kind of slow at the beginning, however it ties together magnificently at the end, creating one awesome conclusion. Throughout each episode the animation, the music, and the explosions were all spectacular. Not only was the animation rich but the dialog was also amazing. The stuggle between being human and a DarkStalker created some very rich and poetic dialog between the characters Donovan, Felicia, Bishamon, and many others. Because of this, they had a hard time co-existing with the human race, and I think that this stuggle parellels the racism and the stuggles between good and bad in the world today. The only way they could improve the video for me is to have Felicia (my favorite character) play a more active role in the video and to have her somewhere in the ending. Overall, however, the whole video was excellent and I would highly recommend it to DarkStalker and Anima fans everywhere.
