I have formed a habit now with anime might be a bad one but started watch seven deadly sins on Netflix and the English dub as well why the dub and not watch it subb when it first came out its cause it set in Great Britain or old name during Roman Greek period where it was called Britainan so I thought it set in my home country so I'll watch the dub and think it was aniplex dubbing the show I loved it.

Just started School-Live.

Haha yes. That was a good first episode. It's a shame that I already had some vague understanding of the setting (delusions, zombie apocalypse), because the little hints throughout were really neat. The blatantly empty classrooms, the blocked off hall, the shovel, the agriculture club obviously farming for subsistence, the fucking grave. I wish I didn't know anything so piecing all those little things together would have been more of a challenge, or at least so that it would have been a real shock. In any case, twist at the end as telegraphed as it was was great. Really interested in seeing where this series goes.

edit: uuuuuuug episode 3. there's literally no way Megu-nee isn't going to be the first one to die, is there? she's gonna die so hard. aaaaa. this episode was like a massive death flag. plus her location in the op is as encouraging as a knife to the face. Still great.

oh yeah and the track boy is totally the one buried in that grave, right? i can't imagine that will do much good, i could see it contaminate the crops with evil zombie germs, but who knows if that's how this is gonna work. hmmm...

Battle Arena Toshinden - Not sure what to think about this anime? It has every Shonen anime cliche that you can find. I don't mind cliches for the most part since everything is based on cliches, but this anime was boring to watch. Watching this anime made me feel like that I should be watching better anime instead. The characters are flat and the story is poorly written. I admit some of the fights are cool and the animation is good for a mid 90's OVA. The dubbing is somewhat watchable.

If you are 12 or 13 years old then you may get enjoyment out of this, other wise skip it. It's barely watchable. Grade: D

I remember the fighting game. Is it safe to assume that this anime is based on said game? Because if that's the case I'm not surprised to hear that it is pretty shitty.

I’m still haunted by the Tekken OVA... *shudder*

[Guyver Spawn]

I didn't know it was based on video game until recently. For fighting game anime, stick with the SF2 movie and Darkstalkers IMO. I remember the Tekken OVA was made as a pilot for a TV series that never happen.

Street Fighter 2 I'll give you, but Darkstalkers isn't much better than all the other bottom-barrel fighting game adaptations that were coming out at that time.

I didn't even know there WAS an American series
But after a quick google and seeing the art for it, I kinda wish you hadn't enlightened me

Yeah, compared to that abomination the OVA series is a Miyazaki classic.

I'm a big fan of the Darkstalkers games and I personally enjoy the OVA's. Sure it's not amazing, but it's enjoyable and a decent adaption in my opinion.
