Darkstalkers Openings REANIMATED

[@CoolGuyMcGruff]

You know you went back to repeat that Felicia part more than a few times...

[@supergoldzero]

I sure did =D! No shame!

This is just one more proof to the pile that Darkstalker deserves 1) A reboot 2) A new game, or 3) Remasters. And this beautiful re-imagening would deserve to be in it ~

[@Pedro_Martinss._]

2 or 3, I don't think a reboot would be a good idea.

[@Azurada23rd]

Very subtle things, like Morrigan moving her head from side to side, BB Hood and Hsien-ko moving in and out of frame, and the whole buildup with Jedah, just makes this entire thing feel more complete

[@Michafrar]

I like subtle animation a lot, it's not as impressive at first, but feels satisfying to animate. Thanks :D

[@Asterion608]

The Felicia sequence alone makes this a 10 out 10.

[@Michafrar]

I bet that'll turn out to be the "*most replayed*" part of the timeline. thanks!

[@yourewallsareveryconvenien8292]

Coomers when they see a naked woman on anything (It's now a masterpiece to them and they are writing why its a masterpiece with one hand)

[@SerbianSpark19]

But seriosly tho great animation 10 10

[@Takejiro24]

*bonk* Go to jail

[@ironhell808]

Subconscious American narrative FTW?

[@crimsonhunter278]

I can't stop watching this masterpiece. Darkstalkers is one my favorite series from Capcom and seeing it like this shows me that Darkstalkers isn't dead.

[@Michafrar]

We the fans keep it going! 👍 thanks a lot

[@gangstasonic97573]

I hope someone makes a Darkstalkers fangame. I can’t do it because I’m below-average at the games and I don’t know how I could appease the competitive player-base.

[@wudly9195]

Darkstalkers. The game that gets love from everyone but Capcom

[@StockeTepes]

Seeing Darkstalkers in this style is so awesome, always loved this intro. Excellent work this is stunning!

Kind Of Never Expected to see The Castlevania Guy Talk about Darkstalkers

The background transition with BB Hood is just amazing. The background art in general is so accurate.

[@Michafrar]

I got inspired by "Pootis engage" with the black bars. Thank you :>

[@judgemasteryueh]

Awesome job! I love the inclusion of Talbain howling to the moon scene. It's a classic. You even not forgot Cecil and Emily.

[@Michafrar]

Thanks :D In hindsight I should've included Le Malta. I knew I had forgotten some

[@Proticity]

Absolutely legendary. Nothing less.

[@Pefonmo]

The opening of Vampire Savior was already fantastic, but you made it so much more lively. Demitri standing all mighty with his long flowing cape has always been my favorite part and now with that big grin added it's even better.

[@thescarvedinsect]

This is so beautifully animated!

[@peanutslaughterisgreat]

I love both this and ALL the Darkstalkers Characters,not just the Popular Ones

[@KnightsDisillusion]

An incredible love letter to one of the greatest fighting games of all time. Thank you for this.

[@Michafrar]

my pleasure -v-!

[@A_Grey_Person]

Looks absolutely fantastic man. It's great to see more animated works from you!

[@Michafrar]

Thanks! I’ll try and aim for one each year (i mostly draw and do work on the side)

[@sacredeight]

I like how you took elements from every game's opening and enhanced them.

[@Kerim2099]

This is pretty good. Should have way more views.

[@rxy3699]

You're one of my inspirations for being a pixel artist. All your animations are always a marvel to watch. Please keep up the great work! ^-^

[@Michafrar]

Aww ;__; your kinds words really made my day. Pixel art is fun! Keep it up!

[@Frostshock15]

Beautiful animation and perfect character designs. I will be waiting for Darkstalkers to return.

[@samproctor6826]

This is INCREDIBLE, I can't imagine the work put into this. An intro I'm so familiar with and you put so much life into it, props, so much props.

[@Michafrar]

a couple of months of dedication! thank you so much :>

[@monadoboy8009]

Stuff like this is what we need to keep Darkstalkers alive

[@Jetsetradio]

Fantastic! And now I'm profoundly sad that Capcom hasn't even thought about the franchise in years.

[@HaBeFaStro]

Now this… This is Pure Gold… A True Triumphant Tribute… A Masterpiece

[@cheesburgr]

My god, the love with which this was done shows so clearly fantastic work

[@RisenHellFire]

Brings a tear to my eye. Darkstalkers is my favorite franchise in gaming.

[@MitsuroYui]

Simply amazing animation. Bringing back the nostalgia of one of the most iconic fighting games!

[@tactmatic]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!

[@shingo693]

You're a great fellow comrade. You left out all the key scenes, but added something of your own. Creative of course. Well, I combined the screensavers from both parts of the franchise. Plus I mixed the music. Great job.

[@laocoontius]

You’re so talented! This was animated so beautifully, I had to literally rewatch it a couple of times to appreciate the work you put into every single character!

[@Michafrar]

:> thank you!

[@SamuraiSnake]

Great job on combining sequences from Nightwarriors and Vampire Savior!

[@Michafrar]

I originally wanted to animate them both, but since they have a lot of slow parts, i combined them. Thanks :D

[@Eis4Electric]

This is incredible! It brings the long dead franchise to life not seen in decades! Bravo!

[@nebuchadnezzar8683]

It's a real Halloween Treat getting nostalgic again with this opening! Happy Halloween!

[@Michafrar]

Happy halloween! thanks :>

A convenient animation for the moment, XD.

😄You're welcome!

[@pontredreal01]

Thank you so so much, this was super beautiful ❤️

[@nicholasfokas4292]

Great work. I was introduced to this channel from that sonic animation you made about 9 years ago but these types of games are more my cup of tea so it’s great to see something like this for a series that doesn’t normally get this type of content.

[@Michafrar]

Thanks a bunch! Kinda crazy to see how far back in time people found my videos. I tend to like a lot of stuff, but don't always make videos of it

[@brohofied2561]

That was unexpectedly great! :D

[@AndreiSkelepina]

You did such a great work!! Jedah looks even cooler 👌✨ So nice memories, thank you.

[@Harrymation-productions]

This is amazing, think you for doing this. Darkstalkers needs all the attention it can get.

[@Good_games555]

Everyone: talking about Felicia. Me, Intellectual: the whole animation is at peak.

[@Michafrar]

ha ha, thanks :D

[@DantheRuby]

For me, Q bee killed it. Her army of bees staring at you menacely is just terrifying and straight-up badass. Ugh, how much I've missed that character 🫡

[@Michafrar]

That shot is where i stuck close to the original, cause it was so damn good

[@cayiika]

This is so damn good! It's also crazy how recognizable your animation style is considering I mostly know it from your pixel stuff.

[@Michafrar]

Oh sweet! Where do you know my pixel art from? from this channel or from elsewhere?

[@cayiika]

I'm honestly not sure. Must've been either the JonTron stuff or your Mario Galaxy sprites on DA.

[@Vincent7397-1]

This Reanimation of the Opening of my favorite fighting game is AWESOME!! nice job man :D

[@Brydav_Massbear]

So I looked at the original intro for Darkstalkers and realized this intro here is an amalgam of the intros from the various installments. And while I do love this intro here. I would have liked to have seen you incorporate Demitri in front of his castle during a blood moon, and then opening his cape to release a colony of bats. But that's my only complaint, everything else is a completely faithful adaptation to the original source which has been animated beautifully. Plus, the remix of the main theme definitely helps it all pop now that it is as refined as the visuals.

[@zalcamar]

It's incredible! Great job!

[@josericardoyanezramirez4355]

OMG...Lei-Lei looks beautiful, actually everything, what a great job!
