Having watched the live action movie with Jean Claude Van Damme (which happened to be on TV the same week) last week, I can say that this version is far superior.

I love Jean Claude but that movie seemed like there was 20 minutes or so missing in the beginning whereas this one doesn't and the storylines are completely different. In the live action Bison has hostages and wants billions of Dollars for them but in this one he's turning street fighters in to terrorists in a much better scripted movie.

The action in this is also a lot better, there is a lot more ... of it and it's a lot better because the characters in this have their powers that don't exist in the live action I presume because it'd be too expensive.

I watched the uncut version I think that was aired on Sony Movies which featured some scenes that had previously been cut out such as the shower scene although it still didn't contain the swear words.

I would definitely say watch this one over the other one, it's a lot better and in the dubbed version, it has a great English soundtrack with one of my favourite bands, Korn doing the song on the end credits. It was actually a great dub.

I thought the animation was great and didn't really look that dated to me, I thought it looked cool.

I loved the story and enjoyed it a lot! I'd definitely watch it again in a heartbeat

I watched this just last month and thought it was quite amazing. It started off a bit slow like Mad Men but every episode ended with a cliffhanger which left you wanting to come back for more.

The art all looks fantastic, don't be put off by their pointy chins because it's a beautiful tale of survival in a small town.

The last half of the episodes heated up a bit and had far more happening in each episode, 20 minutes would just fly by in the blink of an eye. Even when there wasn't much action the characters stories were interesting enough to keep ... your attention and you were made to care for the characters pretty much straight away.

The end of the first episode was such a surprise then so were a lot of other things that ended up happening. I was definitely kept on my toes.

You cared for the humans and vampires and often didn't know whose side you should actually be on which was interesting because usually you're meant to side for one team or the other but this was made a hard decision in this case.

The ending was brilliant and really has left room open for another season if they wanted to make one.
