[B][CENTER][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Immortal In Death[/COLOR][/CENTER][/B] [CENTER]Nothingness, world of darkness, where am I... I turned around and thought this might be lie... Nobody can hear my shouts and screams... In this world I lost all of my hope and dreams... Serpants and dragons bite me day and night... Yet I survive and I know something is not right... I have no strength to move a finger anymore... I am supposed to be dead and no more... Tons of huge rocks being thrown on my head... I wish it's the end and I hope I am dead ... I can see angels and they are killing me again... I am dead, I die again and again yet alive I remain... I believed for immortality there will never be a portal... Surprisingly enough, in the end I've became immortal... I finally figured out where I am, 6 feet under the ground... Where only darkness and soldiers of god roam around... Yeah I died before and I am already dead, it's life after death... God made me a special immortal, the immortal in death...[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]DarkLordDragon[/COLOR][/B][/CENTER]

[quote name='harajukugirl6']i have no problem with video games becoming animes especially dalkstalkers but then again im not sure maybe it we need some spice and everything will be alright. ( im MORRIGAN):animesmil :cool: ;) :animesmil[/quote] I hope the upcoming KOF Anime to be as great as Nightwarriors, the thing that was amazing in Nightwarriors, the characters used their special techniques in the anime as well and there were some nice fighting such as Demitri vs Pyron even though the result should be the opposite if they followed the game story-line yet I don't see any probelm :) right now I am reading Nightwarriors comic which is done by Udon, it's really great and similar to the anime story-line :)

[quote]Queen Asuka: I'm a bit wary about the Darkstalkers anime because anime that is based on videogames sometimes leaves a lot to yearn for. Street Fighter is mainly what I have coming to mind, along with Tekken the movie (wasn't TOO terribly bad...) and the Fatal Fury series (again, not too bad, but not SUPER GREAT, either).[/quote] Well of course to everybody his own, but many people thinks that the anime which is based on video games sucks, well it's not true, I know most of them might sucks but not all of them, because I think Star Ocean EX is pretty good, Fatal Fury was fine... Nightwarriors is really amazing and there are many others... But if you ask me about Tekken, well the game might be the most popular 3D fighting game but to be honest and hope you don't get me wrong, but I really didn't like the anime, I hoped if it was better but oh well, very simple show... But being a Tekken's fan then just don't care about what I say n_n; [quote]Cyke: I was pleased with the DarkStalkers anime. Like Street Fighter, the story is just decent enough to connect the great fight scenes. I only had a problem with the ending, or is it? I own 2 DVDs of it, and the last episode shows Dimitri in a Castle while Pyron was starting to take over Earth. Is this correct? I'm not a big fan of the video games, despite my love for CAPCOM fighters.[/quote] I said before, the story is pretty good and somehow most of the characters were connected by Pyron, but sadly there was no scene that we see Demitri and Donovan together (Even if they were fighting each others) I always wished to see them fighting, though... As for the ending, well I think it's not really a big problem, as for the scene you mentioned, yup it's from the last episode of the anime... As some said you will like this anime if you didn't play the game, but as for me even if I played the game I really enjoyed watching this anime ;) [quote]Cyke: DarkLordDragon: Kickass Saga avatar from Hades[/quote] Thanks man, I am glad that there is someone besides me that know Saga from Saint Seiya Hades n_n Saga is my favorite anime character, maybe if you see him you would say he is just like everybody else, nothing special...etc But if someone knows the story of Saga from the first beginning to the end and knowing everything about him, I am sure he would say Saga is a damn amazing character, though... Anyway thanks Queen Asuka and Cyke for your comments, I do appreciate it... Hope to see you again guys...

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Queen Asuka [/i] [B][color=hotpink][size=1]I think describing Morrigan as a "beautiful young girl" is WAY off target. Morrigan is a sexy and sensual woman. And she's not human. ^_^ Just thought I would put that in. I haven't actually seen the anime, but I am a fan of the videogames. ^_^ Whoo Capcom![/color][/size] [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah you bet :D I think your right, I already know she is not a human but you since I don't know how to write it the best charming way it's hard for me :laugh: well I don't know if your going to like this one or not, but if you haven't see it yet, then you must! esepcially you are a videogames fan ^^ best of luck and thanks for your comment... See you around!

[color=blue]NIGHTWARRIORS: DARKSTALKER'S REVENGE[/color] ========================== 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 [color=blue]THE STORY:[/color] 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... [color=blue]THE CHARACTERS:[/color] 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... [color=blue]THE ANIMATIONS:[/color] 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... [color=blue]THE MUSICS:[/color] 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.... [color=blue]OVERALL:[/color] 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... ======================= THE STORY: ======================= [img]http://www.rightstuf.com/images/large_images/dvd-ds02.jpg[/img] In the time that peace was history, monsters from the demon world have appeared on the human beloved planet, the earth...

[quote]Queen Asuka: My younger sister has pretty much all three of the Fatal Fury movies, but the only one that I've sat down and watched is the Motion Picture. I didn't think it was half-bad, and I'm a big fan of Mai Shiranui. ^_^; Despite the over amount of cleavage and butt shots. Oh well.[/quote] Well the Motion picture was really very good and I like it alot, but as I know there are alot of people who likes the second OVA, so give it a try, who knows! maybe you will like it, and it's not too long... As for Mai, well sure thing she has alot of fans... Anyway thanks for your comment and hope to see you again... [quote]Azure Wolf: The artwork has the same properties that makes me hate Vamp. Hunter D's style, so I think of the FF animes as a deformation of awesome characters. I didn't like any of the FF animes except the second one. I think it was the final fight that bought me over. The first one was ok, but the love story really messed it up. The same goes with the movie, along with the overexaggeration of characters (and the fact that everyone seemed to lack bones). Each FF had some nice moment(s), though.[/quote] Well as for Kailu Lantis, I really don't know what to say but I like this guy's works, man he really did a very good job and I really appreciate his efforts... Well as if I am a good friend or not, well we talked alot of times and I asked alot of questions in some other forums but now I don't see him really and I don't know if you can say I am a good friend of him since I am not sure if he remembers me now because it's been years since I last talked to him... The artworks was really good I admit that because that's the truth ^^ hehe unlike you I really liked FF's animes but maybe not the first one because I don't remember it well but as for the second OVA and the Movie, I guess it was really good and I have to say I like them ^^ Well in the movie I didn't like the love story between Terry and Sulia well Terry is a lone wolf and being alone suites him better ^^ at least like D from Vampire Hunter D... Anyway thanks alot for your comment and hope to see you again... Sincerly, DLD

[color=blue]FATAL FURY: THE NEW BATTLE[/color] =========================== INTRODUCTION: =========================== [img]http://darklorddragon.jeeran.com/images/ffintro5.jpg[/img] Hi there... How are you doing guys!!? Hope you are fine.... Fatal Fury!! I guess we already heard about this great animes alot of times, this anime is one of my favorite animes so I've decided to write a simple review about it... Along with getting some informations about it from different soruces to help the people to know more about this great anime... Well We all know that this is a fighting anime based on the popular 2D fighting game of SNK it's none other than Fatal Fury one of the legendary fighting games in the world... It's one of the most popular SNK's fighting games or I should to say one of the most popular fighting games in the entire world, well as I said before it's another fighting anime based on a fighting game, but it's not bad as Art Of Fighting or the others, the anime was very good and it has succeded unlike some other fighting animes based on games... I really liked the game from the first beginning to the very end, well it's not yet ended, though.... I saw the OVA along with the Movie I liked the second OVA and the movie the most... Before I start I really wish to thanks some people so here goes, first of all let me thanks my good friend Lantis Kailu for his gooddamn faq about Fatal Fury/King Of Fighters storyline faq and the characters informations, same thanks goes for the people who posted their faqs about FF's games and posted the character's profiles... Thanks refers to the webpages which hosted the screen shots of this anime... All I have to say is thank you everybody I really appreciate it... I know I have alot of problems in writing but I am trying my best and I really hope if this gives even a little informations or small idea about the anime, that's what I ask for... Anyway let's get going... ======================= REVIEW: ======================= The story: 7/10 The characters: 10/10 The animations: 9/10 The musics: 8/10 Overall: 8.5/10 [color=blue]THE STORY:[/color] The story of this anime is not bad and it's pretty good... I know that there are alot of people who thinks the story sucks, but to be honest I am not one of them and I think the story is pretty good, yeah maybe it's only that a new villain appears and challenges the legendary wolf but it's really better than this... Well the story is that after the defeat of the king of South Town Geese Howard by the hands of Terry Bogard, a new fighter appeared to prove that nobody is stronger than him and he is none other than Geese's Halfbrother, Wolfgang Krauser... Krauser wishes to face the legendary wolf who defeated his halfbrother Geese, and he is none other than Terry Bogard... Well that's the main idea but really it's not all the anime has more of it, I mean first Terry's defeat, I mean that Krauser was able to defeat Terry was pretty good idea, and the events of the anime is really nice, Terry has just lost his spirite after his defeat, now hanging around the bars without training or even thinking to challenge Krauser again he became a weak person, then he revived because of Tony the boy who followed Terry everywhere... But yet in my opinion they can make the story better than this, I mean they only put the light on Terry, Krauser and Tony... Krauser only fight with Terry and Joe one vs one I wished if it was the Fatal Fury team vs Krauser or some deeper story than this, but anyway it's accepted for a fighting anime just like this one so it's not bad... I am not sure if your going to like the story of this anime or not but let me say that the story is not everything and I know alot of people who likes the story especially SNK's fans and especially Fatal Fury's fans... [color=blue]THE CHARACTERS:[/color] The most thing I like in this anime are the cool characters, there are alot of them and I really like alot of them, don't know why!? Maybe because I am a very big fan of the Fatal Fury's games or maybe because I know them for more than 10 years from the games and lived alot of years with them so maybe that's why I like them... Well of course the hero of this anime is a popular dude and he is none other than the Legendary Lone Wolf, Terry Bogard... As you know I don't like the heroes much but Terry is really a cool guy, true he is not my favorite character in the anime but yet he is a damn good character and I like him more than many others from different animes... As for the main villain he is Krauser, one of my favorite characters in Fatal Fury's games from the beginning, but in the anime he looks far cooler than the games, he doesn't have the scar and the mustache... He is a damn cool character in the anime, proud as always and strong, I really prefer him to Geese Howard even though Geese Howard is my favorite character in Fatal Fury's games, but in the anime Krauser was better... There is also Andy Bogard, one of the coolest characters in this anime, well he is the bishounen of the anime... There is also Joe, Kim, Mai and Laurence Blood...etc so I am sure you will find someone your going to like, especially if you are a fan of FF's games... [color=blue]THE ANIMATIONS:[/color] As for the animations and the picture, I really think it's very good... I like the arts in this OVA and how not if it's one of the most popular artists was behind this great work, and he is none other than Masami Obari, one of my favorite Japanese's artists... As always Masami Obari never fail to amuse me with his goddamn artworks and in this anime he really did a very good job especially with Terry and Krauser with his armor... Well maybe some don't like the animations or maybe it doesn't have the same quality as the new animes but in my opinion I really think that it was very good and I like it more than some new animes, I am not saying that because I am a fan of Fatal Fury but because I just saw the difference between this work and some others, well maybe it's only me! who knows anything might happen!? The graphics were nicely done really, true it has less 3D effects and these new effects in the anime but yet I guess it's should be appreciated... I mean it's pretty old anime not that old but yet we can see that they did a pretty good job with this... [color=blue]THE MUSICS:[/color] As for the musics, well well well I guess Fatal Fury has alot of cool musics, I really like the musics alot and there are alot of them, especially Krauser's symphony and his background theme, it's really one of the best I've ever heard... A sad music and suites Krauser very well in the anime, we hear his music alot of times in the anime... Well this is not the only music I like but I also like Andy's background theme, sorry I really don't remember the name of the musics but I can say when it appears, when Andy fights against Laurence Blood and when Andy train with Terry Bogard, also some other scenes too, it's really a very good music and I hope if I can get it... There are also some other cool musics but sadly I don't know the name of these musics but I know the scene that have some great musics, Terry vs Krauser's fight, Axl Hawk vs Tony in the bar...etc Well I really wished if they used some of the games musics such as Madness Guiter/Geese's Theme and the others but oh well... I don't know if you have the same taste just like mine but for sure I know that there are some people who likes the musics... [color=blue]OVERALL:[/color] Being a very big fan of fighting animes and especially being one of the biggest Fatal Fury's fan what you think I am gonna say... Well of course it's one of my favorite animes even if it's a fighting anime based on games which many people don't give a damn about them... Well the anime was good almost at everything... The Story was pretty good, well yeah not the best and there are many animes that have better story than this one but yet I can say it's very good and acceptable for a fighting anime just like Fatal Fury... I think the story was pretty good and kinda simple but watching Terry lost all of his courage and powers because of the Dark Kaiser Krauser and then reviving...etc were damn good I think... As for the characters, well since I was a kid I always liked the Fatal Fury's characters from the old SNK's games and I think they are really very good... In this OVA my favorite character was none other than Wolfgang Krauser... There are alot and I mean ALOT of cool characters and I am sure many anime fans gonna like at least one characters and I guess he is none other than the Legendary Hungry Wolf Terry Bogard, well there are some others such as Andy, Joe, Geese, Kim...etc well enough about the characters... As for the Animations nobody can lie and say the animations and the graphics sucks! Because it's really very good, how not!! and the director of animations and art was none other then the great artist Masami Obari, many people I know said the same thing as I just said, the animations and the picture is one of the best... As for the musics well well I don't know what to say but sadly there are no musics from the games but yet there are some cool original musics such as Krauser's background theme, I really like it so much and especially because it's pretty sad ^^ well I also like Andy Bogard's theme, man it was very cool indeed, Krauser vs Terry's theme was damn good too, well there are alot of them and maybe if you watched or heard any of them you might find one you gonna like... Well what else, I just said it before the anime is very good and I like the story, the characters, the animation and the musics so of course now this is a suitable anime for me... Many people like it too, if you are a fighting anime fan you should never ever miss this one, and if you are a SNK's fan then you must see this because in my opinion this is the best anime they have created so far ;) to all anime fans around, this anime is very cool and you should at least give it a try even if you are not a fighting anime fan... Well I don't have anything more to say that's what I just wanted to say about this anime... ======================= THE STORY: ======================= [img]http://www.absoluteanime.com/fatal_fury/index-2.gif[/img] The story starts with a strong man named Wolfgang Krauser, who is hunger for battles and to face strong and worthy opponents! After the defeat of Geese Howard (The King Of South Town) Krauser decided to fight the man who defeated his half brother Geese Howard, then Geese's name the opponent and he is none other than the Legendary Lone Wolf, Terry Bogard.... Then Terry Bogard meets a kid named Tony who wishes to be a great fighter like Terry so the kid follow Terry to learn some skills and attacks... So now Krauser manages to find Terry's location now the first battle between the Dark Kaiser Wolfgang Krauser vs The Legendary Lone Wolf Terry Bogard... Who will be the winner!?

As for the animations, we all heard alot about D's great animations, the animation team deserves the full credits I really appreciate their excellent work on the animations and the 3D...

Ikki is one of the strongest Bronze Saint of all time if not the strongest, he have the power of the legendary immortal bird Phoenix, whenever his opponent become stronger Ikki gets up with more powers, just like the Phoenix and so he was nick named: "The Immortal Saint"... Ikki was a very kind hearted man and loved everybody around him, he was a nice kid until one day he was sent to Death Queen Island for training and then there begins Ikki's crisis... He lost someone special to him, someone he consider a close friend, someone he loved from the bottom of his eyes... Being beaten up and the death of the one he loves Ikki's lost his temprature and killed his own master by his own hand... After that Ikki lost his faith in everbody and his life changed... Ikki hides himself in the shadows, rarely showing himself in public... However, whenever Ikki appears, he does so with incredible force and violence. He is able to kill many people in just matter of seconds. It almost seems natural to him... Showing that he doesn't care about the people around him, doesn't care about Athena or anyone else but his younger brother but that's not his true personality, Ikki is a very gentle at heart, he will do anything and might sacrifice his life to save them or to bring peace to the world once again... Ikki is a lone wolf, he prefers spending his time away from the others. Therefore he only appears in battles when one of his friends is in danger. His faith in Athena isn't as strong as his love for Shun but yet that doesn't mean he don't care for his duty, he cares alot about his duty and knows what he should do but he likes to act by his own, he hates to be ordered around... So now Ikki became the most feared warrior of the Bronze Saints...

[color=blue]SAINT SEIYA THE HADES: CHAPTER SANCTUARY[/color] ======================= INTRODUCTION: ======================= Hi there everybody, how are you doing!? hope you are fine... I've decided this time to post a thread about Saint Seiya, as we all know Saint Seiya is one of the most popular animes around the world... Saint Seiya The Hades saga is the best saga in entire Saint Seiya History, the OAV contains 13 episodes for Sancutry chapter then there will be more episodes for the Hades world (Underworld) chapter but yet nothing confirmed... Well I saw the 13 OVAs and what I can say... Well it's just the greatest OVA I've ever seen, I am not saying it because it's Saint Seiya but because it's really a very good show really... Saint Seiya started out in 1986 as a manga by Masami Kurumada and published in Shonen Jump, and have been reprinted in book form by Shonen as well. In October of 1986 Saint Seiya showed up on Japanese TV as an animated series produced by Toei Doga... Also Kuramada published the Saint Seiya Hades Manga as well but now after years of waiting and waiting, Now they finally animated this great manga and brought as the OVA Saint Seiya Hades: Chapter Sanctuary in 13 OVAs, that was really just like a dream to Saint Seiya's fans but luckily they animated the Hades Manga... well guys I wanna say that I took some informations from some French, Italian, English, Spanish's web sites related to Saint Seiya so thanks refers to them, also thanks refers to Silver Dragon for the characters story I learned their story and edited or took some words from here and there to collect the characters' story and proiles... You can find alot of informations about Saint Seiya in many Saint Seiya's sites but sadly most of the sites are not in english, mostly are French, anyway I would like to thanks them for their help because I knew more about Saint Seiya so thanks... So now let's get going... ===================== MY REVIEW: ===================== The story: 10/10 The characters: 10/10 The Animation: 10/10 The musics: 10/10 Voice Cast: 10/10 Overall: 10/10 [color=blue]THE STORY:[/color] Well some of you may don't like the story if they don't like the deep stories, I mean Saint Seiya have a really very big and deep story, the story based on Greeks legends and other mythologies along with other cool stuff, about temples, saints and their lords...etc I know this sometime might be boring but yet the story is very deep and very cool at the same time, if you watched Saint Seiya before you will notice the different between the Hades saga's story and the other sagas of Saint Seiya, since the story is about ressurection of Hades's and his specters, going to underworld facing monsters or group fighters, helping each others, betrayers...etc Fighting for future of the world as everybody thinks, but yet it's not only this, it's deeper than this, I can't say anything more since they didn't released the ova's but I have been reading the manga since years, and the manga story and the OVA are the same, and I guess it's the best... The story is about the ressurection of Hades the king of the underworld along with his armies, who want to kill the queen Athena to get rid of her and to become the only leader in the universe, so the warriors have to do something to help her and defend her even if it costs them their own lives so that's the beginning of the biggest story... Also reviving some of the of the dead saints like the Gold Saints, Saga, Camus, Shura and Shion along with the Silver Saints just like Misty, Argol...etc I guess the story is new since you really don't know who is the bad one and who is the good one if you don't know the old story it will be pretty hard to understand just like me when I first saw it... I mean sometimes you see the bad guys are killing and doing bad things then at the other hand you see them that they are sad for killing and for losing their old friends from the old saga...etc also the good ones are fighting the good ones just for unknown reasons just like helping, training them and things like this... I really have nothing else to say and I can't say anything more but as for me The Hades saga is the best saga and you have to watch this part of Saint Seiya because you will be amazed for sure, and the story is very cool and I like it more than anything else, there are fighters who fight for themselves, fighters who fights for justice some for evils and some for their friends, you will see different kind of fighters...etc I am sure many of you gonna like the story... [color=blue]THE CHARACTERS:[/color] As we all know Saint Seiya have alot of characters, more than 50 characters, and more than 15 main characters... There are alot of groups and each group have at least one or more cool fighter, Saint Seiya features all type of characters, the emotinal, the serious, the funny and even the bad ones as well... In respect to other animes but still I guess I can't find any anime that have cool characters like the characters in Saint Seiya's series... As for me I would like to give it a full rate for the characters since they have my favorite type of character of all time just like Saga, if you saw it from the beginning I am sure you will like this guy too, he is kinda a sad character and that's my type of character who is always cold, sad, strong and also sometimes you see him fighting for evils, sometimes for justice and sometimes for himself, there are many characters like Saga in the series, we also have Kanon, his twin brother, once were a servent of Posiedon and now a saint of Athena's saints and fights for the justice, he also have very great moves, and most of all the Hades Saga features and shows the great Wyvern Radamanthus, he is one of my favorite character too and I always wished to see him in an anime type while I was reading the manga because these are the ones who I always wished to see in the anime... There are many other cool characters such as Shaka, Milo, Shiryu, Ikki...etc I can't name all of them because there are too much and I like almost everyone of them, even the heroes are pretty cool unlike other animes, I admit I usually like the villains but in this great series I also like the heroes too, I can name some of them like the Dragon Shiryu or Pheonix Ikki along with the gold heroes just like Mu, Aioria, Milo...etc The best thing that Saint Seiya have groups, just like Golden Saint Group which have characters of themselves, Silver Saints, Bronze Saints, Steel Saints, Specters...etc you will also amaze after watching their great cloths, such an amazing designs on the characters, also don't forget that each character have his own speciality and have elements such as Wind element, Sun Element, Dark Element, Fire, water...etc Also the main villain have alot of great servents and he is a pretty cool villain, his name is Hades of course... Just see their stories and I am sure you are going to like these amazing characters... I know some of you might say if there are girls or not! Well they also have female fighters like Marin and Shina, also some villain females and Saori (Athena) is a female too, so both of girls and boys gonna like Saint Seiya's characters oh yeah not to forget that there is also old ones and kids just like Kiki, Master Dokho... You all find all type of characters that's why I like the series... I have nothing else to say but Saint Seiya features the best characters... [color=blue]THE ANIMATION:[/color] Saint Seiya The Hades chapter has the coolest animation I've ever seen in animes, I know there are other animes have cool animation just like Sprited Away, Blood The Last Vampire, X...etc but this one is the best in my opinion, they use alot of anime style 3D which give it the cool effects, also not to forget that the graphics looks soooooooooo cool, you just see the old ones and see the Hades OAV and you will notice the different between them, thanks to the OVA's group... Also the anime have alot of great backgrounds effects and there is no more same scene, they have used the computer stuff perfectly and I appreciate their efforts, just see when Milo fights against Kanon, man you will notice how the animation looks also don't forget to see the scene when Seiya transforms with his armors, man they used 3D on this and that's why it came out so good...The fighting scenes are pretty cool, it still has the old school feelings, but better effects had been implemented. I love the way how Seiya did his Pegasus Meteor Punch on Cancer Death Mask, it?s a must see! Not to mention about Shiryu doing his moves as well... And the best of all when Saga do his super attack "Glaxian Explosion" just see and for sure you will be speechless, Man I can't say anything more you just see and you will know what I mean... [color=blue]THE MUSICS:[/color] Well I don't know what to say about this but as we all know Yokoyama Seiji was behind this, this mean for sure Saint Seiya's musics will be very cool... I think that Saint Seiya have the saddest musics of all time in anime world, they have a very cool musics, the openning and the ending, also not to mention the sad musics when Aldebran die or when Milo attacks Kanon, when Shaka's fight against Saga and co, when and when... Man the music outta there was very sad and I like it sooooo much as you all know I like sad musics, to your knowledge Saint Seiya not only have sad musics but they have other cool musics just like Pegasus Fantasy, Harp's them...etc I really can't wait anymore for the Hades World Chapter... I am sure you are going to like Saint Seiya's musics especialy the ones in the Hades chapter, but yet I miss Abel's sad theme, not to mention when Orpheous plays his music, I can't imagine that... Saint Seiya series have alot of great musics done by great artists so you can accept anything from them... Oh you might be asking if they still have the old musics from the old series! Yeah they have it, you can hear the old musics in the new series and that's pretty cool, since they still use their old stuff ot run the anime, I am done here you just go and hear then tell me what you think ;) [color=blue]VOICE CAST:[/color] Saint Seiya's seiyuu and voice actors are the greatest ones and the most popular ones, the voices are very cool and suites the character and his style, I mean just hear Rhadamanthys's voice (Koyasu Takehito), man as you know Rhadamanthys is a pure evil and his voice is damn pure evil too :D not to mention that Pegasus Seiya is voiced by the same man who voiced Amuro, he also voiced Hiroshi for Jeeg, Kyosuke for Orange Road, and Tuxedo Mask for Sailor Moon. Dragon Shiryuu is also voiced by the man who voiced Bright Noah, Shingo from Goshogun and of course Haran Banjo. Andromeda Shun is also voiced by the same man who voiced Vegita from DBZ and also Kou Uraki and that dude who is trying to be like girls from Dancougar who loved Shapiro so much. And I like the most of all is Saga's voice actor, Okiayu Ryoutarou... There are many other great voice actors we've heard their voice at many other series, also Kanon's voice is very cool kinda remind me of the same actor of Raven from Virus Buster Serge... I don't think I can find a better voice actors and suites the character as well very easily, of course that's my opinion, everybody has his own opinion... But I am sure you will like these screams and shouting... Saint Seiya Hades's features the biggest names for the voice actors such as Koyasu Takehito, Okiayu Ryoutarou, Furuya Tohru, Suzuoki Hirotaka, Kusao Takeshi, Ikeda Shuuichi, Namba Keiichi, Tobita Nobuo ...etc All I have to say that they are the best... [color=blue]OVERALL:[/color] Well the new Saint Seiya Hades OVA is my favorite anime at the current time, so what can I say!? I can only give it the full rating and I guess it's really deserves the full credits, I know some of you might not like the new series that's maybe because he don't know the story and what happened before, but if you watch it chapter after chapter I am sure you will like it so much, as I said before Saint Seiya is perfect almost at everything, for the story, I don't think I can find a better story than Saint Seiya's great and big story or maybe it's only me... I also like stories which are originally legends & mythology... As for the characters, Saint Seiya features many cool characters, there are many of them just like Saga, Rhadamanthys, Ikki, Mu, Milo, Shakka, Camus, Shura...etc where can I find these great characters in other animes, I know that every anime have at least one cool characters but Saint Seiya have not only one or two or three, they have many of them and more than 20 cool characters of course it's a personal opinion so don't blame me for saying these words... As for the animation, I can't say anything but the animation and the graphics are very cool and well done especially when they show fighting scenes and fast movements scenes, as for the musics, we all know how it's great and there is no need to say anything more, if you like sad and old style musics then this will be your choice I guess... The anime also have a very cool style for their fighting scenes, characters...etc along with cool voice actors and most popular or biggest names in the anime world...etc what else should be said, I know whatever I saw or how much I will write there will ton of words that can be said about this great show... Even it's only 13 OVA but yet I prefer to series of 100 episodes or more, I am not just saying because a Saint Seiya fan but because it's really the greatest anime I've ever watched... I have nothing else to say but Guys you have to watch this great series and I am sure you will like and you wont lose anything by watching it...

Well the saddest scenes are: SAINT SEIYA HADES: [spoiler]In episode 11 when Athena kills herself and Saga cries for her death... Also in the same episode when the Bronze Saints trying to stop Athena Exclamation...[/spoiler] [spoiler]In episode 12 when Shion tells the Bronze boys that they were not fighting for Hades but they were trying to hide their true indenity, it was very sad watching the Bronze's Saints crying to fight their brothers the Dark Gold Saints[/spoiler] [spoiler]In episode 13 When Mu, Milo and Aioria dies... In the same episode when Saga, Camus and Shura dies... And the last scene the farwell of the best friends, Dokho & Shino... It was really very sad I was kinda in tears :D [/spoiler] UFO ROBOT GRENDIZER: [spoiler]When Zoril's son dies just to help his father[/spoiler] ANGEL SANCTUARY: [spoiler]When Kira was trying to help his father... It was kinda sad...[/spoiler] ASHITA NO JOE: [spoiler]JOE YABUKI'S DEATH[/spoiler] Well that's for now...

Well as the subject says, they finally confirmed that they will make a new film for Saint Seiya, and it's now the 5th movie of the Saint Seiya... I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw the news and I was gonna be dead after watching the two great artworks for the new movie ;) finally a new Movie for Saint Seiya... We need to celebrate guys ;) and here are the pics, hope you like it: [img]http://i.cyna.net/tenkai1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.cyna.net/tenkai2.jpg[/img] As for the Story, well the story takes a place after the Hades's Chapter and the beginning of the Tenkai Hen Chapter (Zeus's Chapter) the villain is Artemis, there are some new characters... It's really good to see new characters but it's sad that the Gold Saints aren't there anymore, I hope to see them again by some way... Here are some informations I got about the film, thanks refers to the Saint Seiya's forums and Kyo-San, the name of the movie is still a rumor but I will write it though... Japanese Name: Saint Seiya Kamigami to No ketsubetsu English Name: The good-bye with the Lords Running Time: 60 to 90 minutes Director: Masami Kuramada Music: Seiji Yokoyama Art Director: Shingo Araki & Michi Himeno * The movie will this time last longer than the previous ones * The opponents of Athena and her Saints will this time be Artemis and Apollo * Seiya, due to his battle against Hades, will be in a chariot at the beginning of the movie, his cosmo depleted * the Bronze saints will be wearing their 3d-generation bronze cloths and not their God Cloths. I just can't express how happy am I for this new film... Now after the confirmation of this new film, I am hoping the confirmation of the Saint Seiya Hades: Chapter Underworld... That's what I hope for... That's what I have for now... See ya around guys...

[quote]Vegeta Rocker: This looks pretty interesting. Might check it out. I gotta say though, the movie was totally a waste. I like the series though.[/quote] Well first of all to everybody his owns, true you might not like the Movie but as for me it was really a very cool Moive indeed even though it was pretty old ;) as for the series sadly I didn't see it yet... I don't know if you are going to like this one or not but give it a shot you might who knows...!? [quote]Craige: I've been a fan of fist of the north for a long time ^____^ my real question to you, is the remake worth picking up? I have the original allready.[/quote] Well I really don't know what ot tell you but you said it there, since you are a fan of Fist Of The North Star for a long time I guess you will like this one as well, because I am a very old fan of FOTNS so I liked this one too but that doesn't mean this new OVA is better than the old series or movie, to everybody his own... You know what, give it a try... [quote]Syk3: Well, I know one thing. You should deffinitly ask Adam for a position on theOtaku. We could deffinitly use someone like you this dedicated to reviews; this one here is very informative. ^_~ I have yet to see this new OVA, but my friend is most likely going to get it soon. He has the entire Fist of the North Star series, as well as the original movie, so he'll probably want this too. I liked the first movie a lot, as well as what I've seen from the series, and it will be awesome to view it in this newer animation with the general story line. Are you planning on doing a review on the New Fist of the North Star OVA 2?[/quote] Thanks alot my dear friend Syk of your words, I really appreciate it, I don't know if I am worthy enough or not but I am glad that at least one liked the review n_n; even though I have some problems with my grammers :D You should get this one, it's worthy really, well some of people might hate this one but as for me and as for thousands of people it was very good so maybe you are from this side or the other side, everything depends ;) well to be honest I might liked the original movie alot more since it was really cool featuring alot of amazing characters so maybe the people will like the old one but that doesn't mean this new OVA sucks!! As for your question, well as long as I see the second OVA then "YEAH" why not... I like to write these stuff even though people might not like long posts or maybe don't like my writing because I have problems with my grammers as I said before but at least I am enjoying doing this so I will... But don't know when I am going to get the second OVA, I am really waiting for the second OVA... Anyway thanks man for your comments and hope to see you again... Sincerly, DLD

[color=blue]NEW FIST OF THE NORTH STAR OVA 1[/color] ======================== INTRODUCTION: ======================== Hi there guys! how are you doing!? hope you are doing fine... Well once again I am here to write alot of stuff about the great anime Fist Of The North Star, well kinda like a big review or something like that ehh call it whatever you wish... I guess we all heard about this name when we were kids, it's one of the old school animes and let me say the first anime I've ever seen... Well we know it's pretty old series and they also released a film in 80's but now in this thread... I am gonna talk about the new Fist Of The North Star OVA... Well maybe few of you heard about it, finally Toei decided or let me say the director to revive this anime once and for all... Luckily I get this new one and I saw it... It was kinda cool I like it or maybe because I missed the anime for years so the returns of the anime may revived some of my memories with the anime as well... So I am gonna talk in this thread about this new work of Fist Of The North Star, and I would like to remind the people that the anime is a fighting, violence, super powers anime and may contain some violent scenes... Also I wish to thanks the people who created alot of sites about the olf Fist Of The North Star sites but sadly there is no sites for the new one, though... Well blah blah blah I can't stop so let's get going guys... ==================== REVIEW: ==================== The story: 7/10 The characters: 7/10 The animation: 10/10 The musics: 9/10 Overall: 8/10 [color=blue]THE STORY:[/color] Same old same old... I really didn't liked the story so much, I mean we already saw the same story again, again, again and again... I mean the writer should think of something else, I know the story isn't bad either but at least we need some changes... Well as for me I can accept the story since I liked the old story and maybe some new people to Fist Of The North Star might like it if they don't have much informations about the first story... But let me just say the truth that the story is pretty simple... The story takes place after the events of the old series... In Japan, a very big explosion has Occurred due to the accident of some atomic bombs... Years after After the destruction of some cites or let may say Japan by the atomic bombs...etc It's been a living hell for the poor people same goes for the weak ones, no waters, no foods, many poors people suffered for water, many of them died to get the water... A new empire was created by a man called Sanga!! this man is evil he trys to make the people believe that he is the accepted Lord of the area or maybe the world... He was the cause of the water crisis! since he was taking all the water for himself and didn't gived a chance for the villages people to take some for free, so if anybody want a water he should work for Sanga and sadly the works are even harder than whatever one can imagine... Even if the villagers find a new source for water sadly Sanga sends his men to take the water and take the full control of the new source and if anybody tried to Rebellions against him sadly the death will be his fate.. Pain, Suffering and death! that's what the villagers learned from this hard life they are living in so it was just like a living hell... Now only one man! one legendary fighter arrived to see the disaster caused by Sanga and his men... This man was none other than the legendary master of the Hukoto Shinken martial art style, he is Kenshiro... Now Kenshiro has a task and it's to defeat Sanga and destroying his empire to bring the peace to the villagers once again! Can Sanga let someone like Kenshiro stands in his way or he is going to use even the last keys to be the new King Of The World... So The battle starts between the good and evil... Well that's the story genarally! nothing really much and it's pretty simple in my humble opinion... A new evil and the hero needs to rescue the villagers of the pain! that's all... Well maybe it's only the first OVA! who knows!!? maybe the second OVA's story might be far better, anything can happen with this anime, and maybe the story devolpes to the better... [color=blue]THE CHARACTERS:[/color] As for the characters, well I don't know what to say but the characters are not that good, well at least for myself!! I know I know that there are some cool designed characters I can't say no and hide the truth... Because I already liked Kenshiro's new costume and design same goes for the main villain Sanga, same goes for the girl Sara (well not that special but it's pretty good) Well the hero of the anime is damn cool and always amusing us... Kenshiro is really one of my favorite heroes of all time, a very cool character and strong as well, sadly the other characters are not there and I mean (Raoh, Shin, Rei, Souther...etc) the dead characters from the old series, it seems there is no chance to see them again in this new ova but at least there are some characters who are related somehow to the old characters and the top of all is none other than Raoh's son Ryu... As for the main villain Sanga, I really liked his design it was cool and he kinda remind me of Wolfgang Krauser from the popular game Fatal Fury/King Of Fighters and I guess some of you heard about them... The hair, the costume even the muscle... But the personality is damn different, this man, Sanga is a coward unlike Krauser the brave and noble fighter who onle likes to fight and living to face strong opponents not running away when facing strong opponents...etc so I didn't liked Sanga's personality let me just say he sucks compared to Krauser... As for the others well some goes some no! how! you can get it by yourself... As for Kenshiro nothing more to be said about him, but just let me say that his voice has changed and the new actor is none other than my favorite japanese actor (Koyasu Takehito) man Takehito's voice suites Kenshiro very well, yup I liekd Akira Kamiya's voice but after watching the big body of Kenshiro and years passed he became pretty old so I guess this new voice suites him very well... Well I guess for the first OVA there can't be more characters but there is a mystery character who appears at the ending of this ova and I guess his name is Seiji/Yuji don't know really but he looks pretty cool and kinda remind me of Rei from the old series... I just cant wait to see the second ova... [color=blue]THE ANIMATIONS:[/color] Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow & WOW!!! The animation really drove me crazy... I really liked the animation it's damn cool... Nobody can say no! if he says no then I guess he have something against the enemy... The animation and the art are very well done, it's really far better than the old series and movie! how not and it's one of 2003's production... I really liked the animation so much or let me say it's maybe the greatest animation I've ever seen... Yeah Yeah Yeah I know there are some other cool animated series such as Full Metal Panic, Saint Seiya Hades, GunGrave...etc but this is also one of them... I really liked how they mixed the 3D effects along with the 2D along with some CGs... I am sure that most of the gonna like the animations because it's really very nicely done, oh it's true it's DAMN TRUE! I've met many people who complained about the animation of the old series and how the art was bad and sucks...etc But now I don't think they can say the same for this new OVA there is no way really... Especailly the devolpments of the 3D along when their head explodes...etc I am sure you will like it... [color=blue]THE MUSICS:[/color] Ah Ah Standin In the Heart Of Madness! Whoa whoa there is a big sadness... Well sadly the old musics and songs of Kenshiro are not there in this new OVA! I really liked the old songs such as the openning "Yo Wa Shuck" it was very cool really! and I also liked the song "Heart of Madness" it was my favorite song in Fist Of The North Star anime... But wait there! don't think that there are no old musics or songs means the new songs and musics sucks!!!? Because the new opening of this OVA is really very cool and nice, I like it so much it's pretty cool many also agrees with me I already know it... Also the ending theme and song is damn good! how not and the singer is none other than the popular Japanese singer's Gackt!! this guy is really very popular he was the singer of Yasuharu Takanashi's amazing musics so the team really did a very good job for the music and singing... Also there are some cool musics in some scenes, for example the music when Kenshiro first appears, also the music when Kenshiro fight against Sanga... Also the music when Doha/Vista appears around the people to give them water, and many other scenes that have some great background musics... Well Maybe it's only me! maybe the people don't like it! it's all depends... [color=blue]OVERALL:[/color] Hmmmm what I can say now! I am really out of words maybe... Well I don't know but I have to say this... I liked this new OVA so much even of the same story or maybe a few cool characters but yet the anime is great... It's really has a great shot on every side... As for the story well it's not much different from the old one and maybe there are many other animes that have the same storyline but yet we can take it as nothing, I mean it's not really a big deal... As for the characters oh yeah No Raoh (My favorite Fist Of The North Star Character) no Rei no Souther no Shin no Shu...etc but yet that doesn't mean the characters generally sucks! at least our great champion is still there and I am referring to Kenshiro the last survivor! oh yeah I am one of the fans of this guy, though... As for the animation what I can say I just can give it the full ratings! because really the animation was something else, very nice animations that can't be found in other animes if they are new animes, well I am not saying that just because I like Kenshiro but because I am just saying the truth... As for the musics many will like it and maybe many will hate it, but I consider myself that I am one of the people who likes the musics, in my opinion I think the anime was nice and cool maybe you will like it too... So as you can see the anime have some great points and some weak points but the great points are covering the weak points, that's what I think about the anime... I don't know if your going to like it or no but as for myself, as being one of Fist Of The North Star's fan from the first beginning to the very end I guess I have no choice but to say: "THE NEW OVA ROCKS" well comparing to the old series and storyline, characters I have to say that I liked the old one much more, well maybe because the characters ... Well I also wish to remind you that I am only talking about the first episode of the new OVA! who knows maybe the second episode of the anime are far better than this one! One thing more, I just wrote these words depending on my own opinion, it's not the general opinion about the anime, as you know everybody has his own thoughts and opinion so thats my opinion... That's what I have to say about this anime... ==================== THE STORY: ==================== [img]http://www.discountanimedvd.com/dvd_images/5357.jpg[/img] In Japan, a very big explosion has Occurred due to the accident of some atomic bombs... Years after After the destruction of some cites or let may say Japan by the atomic bombs...etc It's been a living hell for the poor people same goes for the weak ones, no waters, no foods, many poors people suffered for water, many of them died to get the water... A new empire was created by a man called Sanga!! this man is evil he trys to make the people believe that he is the accepted Lord of the area or maybe the world... He was the cause of the water crisis! since he was taking all the water for himself and didn't gived a chance for the villages people to take some for free, so if anybody want a water he should work for Sanga and sadly the works are even harder than whatever one can imagine... Even if the villagers find a new source for water sadly Sanga sends his men to take the water and take the full control of the new source and if anybody tried to Rebellions against him sadly the death will be his fate.. Pain, Suffering and death! that's what the villagers learned from this hard life they are living in so it was just like a living hell...

Aha I got it now... Well Darkstalkers only have 4 episodes... That's all untill now but I really hope to see more stuff for Darkstalkers

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cyke [/i] [B][font=trebuchet ms][color=darkblue]He's not talking about the horrible American cartoon, but about the 4-episode OAV series. I really liked it. It was very well drawn and animated, and the fight scenes were cool. Too bad it was so short, and the ending was not quite satisfying (Unless there are unreleased episodes in America.)[/color][/font] [/B][/QUOTE] Hey thanks alot to clear this up... But may I ask something! Is there any American DS's series as they did for SF!? I really don't think so, though... Anyway as you just said the anime was veryl well drawn and animated, but the ending was pretty good but yet I would say it was short, there was no chance to show at least one fight for each one of them, not even Jedah, it would be really cool if Jedah showed up in the anime, well I know you are wondering who in the hell is Jedah, well just see the attached pic...

Anybody else like this anime, It's one of my favorite animes around, I really liked it so much... Here I wrote what some stuff about what I think about the anime: The story: 9/10 The characters: 9/10 The animation: 9/10 The musics: 8/10 Overall: 8.9/10 [color=blue]THE STORY:[/color] The story of the anime is very cool, I like it, it's pretty cool to see Pyron trying to rule the universe and one fighting himself and one fighting to be the Demons king and one for for the popularity and one to help a friend and 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 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 hardcorse 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, but sadly the anime couldn't detail everything about their big story since many things are connected, just like the Demons World and Makai World just like Demitri, Morrigan...etc 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... [color=blue]THE CHARACTERS:[/color] 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... 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... [color=blue]THE ANIMATION:[/color] The animation is very cool and I like it, the best thing when the characters do their special attacks with adding some 3D stuff along with magical/Fantasy stuff which give it a cool affects, some of you might not like it because they might not like these stuff or maybe the like the bright colors, but no worries guys this series have this too, and that's very nice... I really appreciate the graphics and the animation team because they really did a hard job and finally it resualted a very awesome animation... Nightwarriors animation is one of my favorite animation comparing to the other ones, true not as good as the Saint Seiya Hades but yet very awesome and I am sure you will like it ;) [color=blue]THE MUSICS:[/color] Hehe of course they have cool musics since the game have alot of cool musics, there are some great musics while the fighters fight, especially Pyron's fight against the Darkstalkers, also when Demitri and Morrigan fight... The musics make the anime far better and give it a cool effects, but yet I admit I like the game's music much more than the anime musics but yet I accept it and it's far better then some others I know, but sadly there is no much sad musics, as you all know I like sad musics but Nightwarriors have less of them but yet have some scary and dark musics which will make you see the anime all without leaving a part, well that's my opinion about the musics maybe some of you say sucks but I said mine... [color=blue]OVERALL:[/color] 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, I by myself like it more than Street Fighter animes, much more fantasies more than other fighting animes... Anime fans will like it more than the games but the game's fans would be missing their beloved character, Jedah... And if you are confused on what to get, Darkstalkers or Street Fighter or Fatal Fury, I think Darkstalkers have the upper hand but if you are an SNK fan and a fan of their characters just like me, go for Fatal Fury! but yet I would say Nightwarriors is one of the greatest fighting animes around and I like it alot... Well it's up to you, I am not going to force you to get it :)

Well we already know that this series is one of the most popular anime around the world, and it's also the most favorite anime for France's people, they like it as much as people like Dragon Ball Z, well the series is really very big and deserve the full credits, the series have made great success in everywhere, Japan, France, US...etc don't forget that the series have more than 100 episodes and it's still didn't ended, and now we are being gifted with Saint Seiya: The Hades chapter which is very new and very cool... As we all know the series was old but now it has a new anime, and as I heard from my friend this series was in the top ten animes in Japan and it was #2 so that's mean the series is really cool, I am talking about the new one... Also don't forget that the series is a fighting anime along with fantasy, adventure and I am really a very big fan of fighting animes, the series have some touching and sad scenes too... I just want to know if there is anyone around here watched the new OAV, I really hope to discuss with SS's fans around here, and I personally suggest you guys to see the Hades chapter because it's really very nice! and if you have questions I would be glad to answer... Sincerly, DLD
