Welcome to the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, a mix of anime & manga history, reviews, and talks with other fans on titles and aspects of fandom from everywhere from the 70s to the 90s!

This month’s episode is another short ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. This month, in celebration of spooky time, I'm revisiting a video game anime adaptation that has lots of style and spooky vibes to spare: the Darkstalkers OVA! But is style the only thing this OVA has going for it? Let's dig it out of the crypt and find out!
