The darkness surrounding us is something far worse than Daylight Savings Time. Today's episode focuses on Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, an OVA series that adapts the cult classic Darkstalkers fighting game franchise. The vampiric (and aristocratic) Demetri Maximoff reawakens and casts a literal shadow over the mortal realm. This perpetual darkness allows other Darkstalkers to emerge across the globe, but only one of them can truly rule the night. Will it be the confident and alluring succubus Morrigan Aensland? The cute and theatrical catwoman Felicia? Or the undead rock star known as Lord Raptor? A pious vampire hunter named Donovan Baine joins the fray as well, determined to rid the world of evil. These characters and many more will put their ideals on the line and battle until the end. And that end might come sooner than they think when a certain alien overlord arrives on the scene. Remember to practice your combos and tune your electric guitar for today's bloodthirsty episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
