Overall:

Video:

Dark colors, great to watch if you can turn all the lights off and watch in the dark. animation is very 80ish in look. no errors video wise I found

Audio:

Excellent, music and audio track are clean and crisp

Subtitle:

didn't find any problems with them

Comment:

Other then the mix up of the first two episodes being on disk two and likewise this is a good anime. I would be the first to admit being alittle bias because I loved the video game. Their is points though were I would of liked to see more of the character other then small cut scenes. Donavan and Dimitri I beleive have the most screen time. Well worth picking. up

Video quality was superb! No problems suffered here. Perfect dvd quality. I would kind of agree that the anime was a little dark but very understandable due to the nature of the series "Darkstalkers." I love the video quality overall.

Audio:

Both R1 english and japanese tracks were excellent. No problems what so ever. Deserves to be dvd quality. In this one, I actually liked the english voice-overs, but nothing wrong with main ejapanese voices either. PERFECT.

Subtitle:

Perfect R1 rips. No problems suffered here as well. Very legible and readable subs. Can't get any better than this. DVD quality!!! SUGOI!!!

Comment:

The only problem I had with this set was the fact that the covers on the dvds themselves are mixed up. Disc 2 is actually disc 1 and vice-versa. Other than that, No problems with the set at all. Very well recommended by me. A very good series to watch.

The biggest problem I had with the video on this set is that often it appeared to be too dark. Sure, it IS a dark show but the darkness appeared to be almost murky at times and kinda blurred the backgrounds a little bit. Besides that gripe the video on this set appeared to be pretty good. No colour bleeding, macroblocking or anything like that. A very good if somewhat murky, transfer.

Audio:

The audio appeared to stand up well in both the Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 and the English Dobly Digital 2.1 tracks. Everything was crisp, clear with no hiss or drop out at all. I personally liked the dub (being a dub fan) and especially liked the deep, menacing tone of Dimitiri's English VA. Everything is A-OK in the audio area.

Subtitle:

The subtitles turned out to be quite accomplished. Initally I thought that they were dubtitiles, but later on the subs differ greatly from what is being said on the screen on the English DD 2.1 track. In terms of technicalities, I think I saw a couple of hung over lines on the second disc and thats about it. The subtitles themeselves are presented in a bare white, medium sized font thats easy on the peepers. Overall, it's as good a set of subtitles as you could probably ask for.

Comment:

On a technical note, like the previous reviewer I discovered that the OAV's themselves have been pressed onto the discs in the wrong order. So when you get your set, start on Disc two and then go onto Disc one. A strange and annoying little error. Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge is another anime in the long line of them that are adaptations of their video game counterparts. The anime is full of action and fighting scenes, but there is VERY little plot or character development to speak of, not to mention that the direction is somewhat lacking and confusing because there is a tendenacy to flick between fights regularly with little explanation. For instance you could be watching Morrigan fighting Dimitri then all of sudden it switches to someone else fighting, then someone else and so on. Not a great anime by any means, but there are worse ways to spend an evening.

Video:

First couple of episodes had some odd VHS like line, only noticeable during black screens or really dark screens, the rest of the set was perfect.

Audio:

Perfect, Japanese audio DD5.1, while the english audio was DD2.0. I didnt watch with the english dub but I tried it here and there it sounded ok, especially Demitri.

Subtitle:

Perfect, I think only 1 line was dropped.

Comment:

Not a bad series 4 OVA's in all, if your a fan of the video game you would probably like it, even though some characters make 2 second cameo's. Also on the technical side of things for some reason the first disk had OVA's 3+4 and the second disk had OVA's 1+2.

Video:

Didn't notice any pixelation of any kind.

Audio:

Both Jap and Eng audio sounded perfectly clear. I didn't really give it a perfect score because the English dub sounded kind of unnatural.

Subtitle:

Well, the subtitles don't really match the English Dub most of the time. However, if you watch in Japanese and if you don't understand Japanese, it's perfectly fine.

Comment:

Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge is yet another fighting video game turned animation. The story is jumpy and pretty random at times (partly an effect of the old pitfall of trying to cram all those characters from the game into a short OAV series), but at least it manages to get the characters together for plenty of brawling with some depth on the side. Well, overall, the story is not bad but it is not a masterpiece either.
