Actually JUST heard about this.
Here is a poster they have up for it. http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2017/02/2...62394_610w.jpg And here is a rundown of all the latest info. http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/02/...nimated-series Dunno jack all about the producer, but the man writer and exec producer Warren Ellis is a famous novelist and Comic Book scribe so the writing part of the series should be interesting. Now we just have to see some character and art design mockups. It is heartening to see an dramatic adult US produced animated serial, they still are all too rare here. Still it is quite interesting Konami greenlighted a project for a dormant game franchise like this IMO. This show (IF SUCCESSFUL) could very well dictate the style people expect from future franchise games, at least in the west. (Japan is another story) This is as opposed to Capcom who controls the prevailing image of ResEvil due to continuous game releases. Oh well, we should figure out more in the coming months, it is set to begin streaming this year. |

Only 4 episodes? Boo. And do they have a subtitled version? Though I just watched a bit of the dub. It's actually not too bad so far. Still, I'd be curious to see Japanese VAs do this.

Hmm, I don't see an option for Japanese with subs on Netflix. I'll hunt it down eventually. Well, I just finished watching it dubbed. Wasn't bad actually. Normally I really hate dubbing, but they seem to have gotten real actors rather then the usual ones you always see doing VA work. It really makes a difference.

Only 2 episodes in so far. Only complaint I have so far is a very nitpicky one at that. I haven't heard any classic Castlevania themes yet!
But seriously, it's absolutely amazing so far. I was starting to think it'd be highly improbable to make a decent anime adaption of it's story, but so far, so good. Quote:
*edit* Just finished up and my opinions haven't changed. Sucks its only 4 episodes, but if they're well paced, I'd prefer that over 12 episodes that might drag somewhere in between. Last edited by sayde; 2017-07-09 at 19:27. |

It was almost hard to feel sorry for the shitty humans.
I mean, Dracula is a monster, but he DID give them a whole year to GTFO his land. Which is a lot more reasonable than you'd expect from a villain gone insane with vengeance. I hope this changes. Can you imagine if they did a rendition of Vampire Killer as the team face off Dracula? Holy crap that would be amazing.

This series does an excellent job making you hate the church. The 1st episode had some major Berserk vibes going for it. And the way the church acted and the manner through which everyone blindly followed what they had to say was definitely one of the reasons why. Quote:

And it sounds so much better than that generic dark and ominous song that sounds like it's in every other netflix original series. |

If this becomes really successful and they end up making more series based on other CV games, I hope they make one for AoS and that they are able to use the game's original soundtrack. Can you imagine hearing a modern rendition of Castle Corridor and Heart of Fire? That's going to be awesome.

But that was to be expected, my beef is more to do with Wallachians in the show being godawful people with little to no redeeming quality in general - A guy who clearly express he wishes no trouble and no involvement -> Lynch him because why the F not! - Lisa uses modern medicine to try and help the sick -> Burn the witch! - Speakers are kind hearted people just there to help the people of this land -> Pagans! Kill them all! Trevor was completely right, F these people. Pack up and leave, let Lord Dracula's minions have their dinner. These wretches don't deserve Lisa or the Speakers.
