What did /co/ think of the new Castlevania series?

>>93746066

Stylish and fun.

It felt like the prologue to something more. Surely the next 4 episodes or whatever will be more action packed but I still enjoyed it a whole lot.

The lack of music from the games is fucking criminal but I'm guessing there's licensing issues or something.

Also where the fuck was Grant?

>>93746130
You can kinda hear parts of beginning in the opening, just played way down. If I remember right Grant was mind controlled by Dracula at some point? Then again, he's just a flea man, I won't cry if he's not in it.

I really liked the shoiws aesthetic, it was obviously anime-esque, takinga lot of nods from the hyper violent early 90s OVA's, but its distinctly not like Korra or Voltron. Closer to like, Spawn or Aeon Flux. Also 100% hand animated in the US which is a real rarity these days.

I really liked it. Armitage did extremely well, and McTavish was extremely entertaining as Dracula. I was absolutely floored they were able to convey a connection between Lisa and Dracula in two minutes. Plot was a bit sparse after the first episode, but it IS based on a video game.

Dialog was a high light, along with the voice acting. Didn't fall into a anime robot speak.

for a game adaption. it's pretty good. worth a watch. Good to see Trevor , Sypha and Alucard done pretty well.

Biggest problems for me
too short. (season two wait till 2018)
No Castlevania music
No Grant

Hopefully next season

>>93746603
control yourself Alucard

I haven't seen it yet. I thought Konami was out of the game making biz anyways, so this is unexpected.

*whips fedora*

It was ok. While I liked the first episode, the remaining three felt like they dragged on too much, all the while not trying to seem too video gamey, only for it to end with the "platforming" in episode four. Maybe if the dialogue scenes could've been made more concise I think a three episode structure could've worked better, but I dunno.

Trevor for me was the main sticking point. Obviously as a fan of the games I am biased in how I envisioned the guy, but the show really had to fight its way for me to actually like the guy, which didn't happen until around the end of the fourth episode, and then to be told "stick around for more" isn't exactly thrilling.

The level of violence surprised me, but I felt it almost touched comical levels in certain parts.

>>93747071
That's a fair point, given the aesthetics of the show. At best he could claim that he's an ex-sailor/pirate who moved away from the sea because reasons.

Is this a series? A miniseries? An OAV? Because I can imagine Grant on a flying dutchman ship ghost sky ship in the sequel.

It's pretty fucking awful, with moments of awesomeness
Basically the writing is trying way too hard to be Game of Thrones. It just drags on. Two hours that could have been done in one.
Legit good animation, and sypha was great (clearly blushing cause she knows shes gonna repopulate the bloodline with Trevor was a nice touch) and the jury's still out on alucard, but I'm hoping season 2 drastically improves trevor

Teaching the town to defend themselves? Not a scholar of film, are you, summerfag?

Even cartoons reference Seven Samurai.

>>93747718
Game of Thrones was created in 96 you mouth breather. And it only got popular when they made the show.

>>93747837
How naive do you have to be to not think they would sneak that shit in during production? Honestly.

Too much liberty taken with Trevor's design. Guy looks like he's in his thirties when he was actually a teenager in Castlevania 3. Sypha doesn't pass herself off as a man, they pretty much made Alucards design his SoTN when he looked entirely different during the 1400s. Entirely too edgy dude bro, and every other word is a curse for some reason

>>93747718
>Trevor's literal costume design
So... capes made of fur?

>and the whole family lines
So every fantasy story ever

They hadnt done that shit in game of thrones.

What are you talking about?
The only GOT shit in this series is that is a medieval fantasy story with R rating.

This just makes me remember how thundercats got shafted.
>>93747898

And?

That was ONLY to make him closer to Simon.

>Sypha doesn't pass herself off as a man

Small tits and a big rope. That's all you need.

>they pretty much made Alucards design his SoTN when he looked entirely different during the 1400s

That's is a retcon.

Nothing wrong with that. Focusing on alucard as a savior or destined to kill dracula'
That is a problem

>>93747917
I think you misheard

She was traveling dressed as a man because it was safer.
Which it is.

Seriously, Trevor actually griped that he didn't like how Speakers dressed their women as men just before that line.

>>93747918
Being condecending wont help your argument.Also the aesthetics and such aren't D&D esque or do these fucks look late medieval to you or do they look more like peter jackson's vision of lord of the rings to you?

>>93748047
I was paraphrasing wasn't going for the exact text of the script jesus christ.

>>93748057
They look like 1400's Romania. The churches are gothic.

For frame of reference, look at the way the villagers are dressed. Would you say the they're outfits are closer to Lord of the Rings, or Attack on Titan?

>>93748140
Game of thrones and a chunk of germany.Look at the houses.

>>93748198
So I was right. You haven't been exposed to any fantasy that doesn't have knights and castles. Ok.

I don't think this series was inspired by Game of Thrones. At all. I'm still genuinely confused how you came to that conclusion. It's based on the Castlevania series of video games, which themselves are based on Dracula, Frankenstein, Lovecraft, and anime.

If this animated version is inspired by anything besides it's source material, I'd make the argument it draws from Witcher, Berserk, and a few other animes.

But Game of Thrones? I'm sorry, I just don't see it.

>>93748303
No you aren't right you're suffering fom tunnel vision from the costumes to the town and the small bar.Also you seem to be confused the castlevania aspect is there My point is there are aparent designs that are GoT like.
Also
>lovecraft
Not in the slightest not in this season. Maybe the castle that's about it honestly.

Fucking fantastic

Great writing, great atmosphere, top-tier action coreography

Bleh music though, frame rate could be better

>>93747035
Why'd she blush?

>>93748377
So every fantasy setting with a tavern is GOT? Do you just not understand how many things GOT drew inspiration from? The books are both a love letter to fantasy and a deconstruction.

And I said the games are inspired by Lovecraft.

Costumes with fur capes do not make a Game of Thrones ripoff. Game of Thrones greatest identity is it's cynical deconstruction of fantasy, it's manipulative characters, and it's willingness to kill off main cast. Not the costumes.

This has none of that.

Holy fuck no dude stop doing the generalisation crap already. I know already GoT is not the only fantasy shit that has done this crap I'm talking about design and the way it got presented FFS how is this hard to understand?

The games have drops of lovecraft there's no unknown horror aspect you know what's coming from the bottom of the castle to the very top.

I did not claim it was a ripoff I claimed it drew some designs from it since that is the show that has featured them the most prominently as of the last 20 years.

My issue was that it was taking half-hearted measures to appeal to the game of thrones audience (specifically the shows audience)
The hip hugging x shaped belts and capes with fur mantles on them especially. It's a drastic departure from the original design while the others were at least halfway there.
If they wanted to do this deep church conspiracy and multi town defense plot, the episodes should have been longer, and there should have been more compelling reasons.

>>93748572
jesus christ all you people are stretching for these modern popular inspirations. All these things you mention are common tropes from far more than GoT, Lovecraft or even Castlevania.

This is straight out of old monster horror books that started with Mary Shelly. Warren Ellis is far older than GoT so he wasn't pulling from that and he never seems to pull MUCH from Lovecraft.

This is VERY castlevania, down to the Belmonts can't step in water platforming aspect.

>>93748797
I don't think this is an Ellis thing it might be a character designer thing.

>>93748009
There is a "nod" to her dressing as a man, Wich is good enough, unlike Samus, you can't expect her to disguise she is a girl in a realistic way while traveling in company of two other people

Also, the "prophesy" that paints Alucard as a messiah is just folklore BS, they adress it right away, he even tells Trevor they don't even have the full history, and he needs a scholar and a hunter to help him destroy Drac

>>93746066

This is the first time I've ever said this, but... I think maybe they're swearing too much. I only just started episode 4, but 2 and 3 had so much cussing that it's kinda losing impact.

>>93748897
Ellis is the writer, you'll have to get used to it.

It doesn't really bother me, Castlevania is not meant to be taken seriously 100% of the time, I wold be swearing a lot too if I lived in a dirty town assaulted by baby eating demons

>>93747470

Its a fur mantle on a cape, with a leather cross belt across the chest. It's an unusual look even in fantasy, which is why it's associated with GoT
Look, why are you so butthurt that everyone can see the got influence? Sure Got didn't invent anything, but that doesn't mean it's not an influence.
Pirates of the Caribbean didn't invent the drunken pirate, but tons of stuff tried to mimick it afterwards.

one post went to 200 replies before being deleted
you're trying to make your own rules, that's just how it is

I may be one of the few people who actually liked Trevor. Probably because I don't have much exposure to Ellis's protagonists and in game he didn't have a lot of characterization to begin with. But considering what his family have been through, him being a person who doesn't give a fuck was entirely justified.
Also liked all the small nods to games like throwing an axe or a holy water. Scenes with bishop and demon and fight with Alucard were excellent.
My major complain is that instead of monsters from game they used really generic demons. Hope it will change once they get to the castle.
Can't wait for S2. Will be replaying games to kill time.

15th century Catholicism wasn't that great in real life, but the series lays it on so thick they're beating a dead horse by episode 3.

Then episode 4 has a priest make holy water that actually repels demons.

>>93750524
He was an actual, good priest. God loves him, so he could make it. God hates the Catholic Church in this series, apparently, but still has proper followers he's pleased with. That's my guess, anyways.

Just hearing the name I was expecting Trevor to be on a quest to kill Dracula and to see him fghting his way through the castle. Instead I got the church is the real big bad, I'm suppose to feel sorry for Dracula and nearly everyone is a selfish asshole. That said I still enjoyed it.

>>93750555
He just seems to hate the bishop from Targoviste and his thugs. You'll remember they burned Lisa just to pit on a public show, and it's implied that she was singled out for convenience rather than any legitimate concern.

She was crucified according to the games. Of course, the scene could be falsified by the succubus to make Alucard think otherwise, but I think she only tried to trick with the dialogue.

>>93747071
>I vaguely recall reading something about ellis saying "how the fuck do I fit in a pirate in a landlocked gothic/romanian setting?"

Ellis could do this: >>93749729. Or he could rework Grant as being a land-based thief or a bandit instead of, specifically, a pirate who doesn't do anything.

Anyway, I'm still waiting to see the show with someone, but from what I've heard, the group hasn't even reached the clock tower yet, so there's still time to introduce Grant next season.

>>93747035

Okay I'm confused. I've heard that a second season is coming in 2018 and also that more episodes are dropping later this year, is it both or just one?

Oh yeah, Slavs did their own things. Like their penchant for putting people up on sticks.
There's this series of 19th century novels that are required school reading in Poland that has the main characters impale the "bad guys" and it is shown as perfectly acceptable.

>>93747718
>whole family lines
You have literally never in your entire fucking life paid attention to the story of any Castlevania game if you can say this unironically. Castlevania has always been a family driven story with themes of children living up to their parents goals, fighting against your parents wishes, trying to get revenge against the slaying of family and whether your birth determines your destiny.

>>93747917
>Sypha "looking like a girl to make travelling safe" wich never happened.
It's a reference to her being labeled as a he in the manual for the second Castlevania.

>>93750555
No it's just that he was an actual ordained minister. God is fine with the church but some of the priests are dicks. People are failing to grasp that it was the Bishop and others like him that were the reason people like Trevor hated the church.

This shit again.

The Church was probably the most responsible organization at the time. Most of the "black legend" stuff you hear about is taken directly from protestant propaganda.

The Inquisition didn't even execute that many people, and that was only after they had been given years to recant.

So Alucard is another woman son with Dracula right?

Lisa is his step-mom.

I wonder who could be behind this post.
https://youtu.be/7WJXHY2OXGE

>>93753818
No. He refers to her as his mother

>>93752810
Witch hunts only happened after the Chruch lost power, and picked up with the Enlightenment. Even Thomas Hobbes condoned burning witches.

>>93753862
But the sleeping soldier thing was asaid to be centuries old?

And Trevor said the chamber he was resting was ancient.

>>93753909
The speakers got the story from the future.

He's in a part of Dracula's castle, which is ancient.

>>93753909
Watch the show again and pay better attention. Alucard said he had been there "A year. Maybe less." It's a plot hole how that place was made or why but Lisa was definitely his mom.

>>93753909
And Alucard said he had been there for only a year. The prophecy existed for years and was from the future, Jesus, get your hearing checked.

>>93753953
But what about the statue for the sleeping soldier itself?

Did Alucard just took the opportunity of a local legend and said "Fuck It I'm going to build my personal chambers here!"?

>>93751351
>Witches were usually drowned or hanged.

The Inquisition usually ignored witches. When they were executed, it was by secular courts.

>>93753978
It's just Trevor statement that the age of the chamber threw me out of the loop for a second.

>>93750824
Why is Alucard such a fuckboi twink in this series?

>>93754006
The story has been around for ages and is known to everyone because it came from the future.

People have known the story for fucking ages, long enough for it to become legend and build statues and whatnot.

>>93753021
>>93753667
>>93753898
Right, so they should have burned her for being a heretic, not for being a witch, which makes it okay, mother church did nothing wrong.

>>93754043
Wasn't he always drawn as a bishounen even in the games?

>>93752810
Wallachia and Romania by extension is mostly orthodox, what the fuck are catholic clergy doing there?

>>93754070
>Heretics was innocent! They dindu nuffin!

Fuck off. The only reason heretics started to be burned was because the Albigensians were staging armed revolts around France.

just watched episode 1 gonna watch the rest. pretty epic, really cool setting.

got some questions

who is guy in white who confronted dracula
why is dracula so imba, is he rlly satan?
what are those bat creatures that rained along with blood, why and what do they symbolize
whats the backstory of dracula in this setting

>>93754092
Do they even say in the show what denomination the church is?

>>93754092
The Latin Church has been in Romania since the 1100's.

>>93754122
>why is dracula so imba, is he rlly satan?

In the games he's pretty much the Anti-Christ, so kinda.

>>93754092
Also where the fuck are the Ottomans?

One would think they would they notice of what's happening in their client state.

>>93754156
But were they so powerful that they could carry inquisitions?

>>93754051
The thing I like about all this "messages from the future" stuff is that it's clearly being included as a way to explain stuff in Dracula's Castle that shouldn't exist in 1476. Like Frankenstein's Monster.

>who is guy in white who confronted dracula
Alucard his son.
>why is dracula so imba, is he rlly satan?
No but he's also not just a vampire. He's more of a spirit of darkness or incarnation of chaos.
>what are those bat creatures that rained along with blood, why and what do they symbolize
No idea.
>whats the backstory of dracula in this setting
Not completely sure in the series but in the games he is an alchemist and strategist named Mathies who lost his wife to illness while on a campaign for the church. He cursed God for letting her die while he risked his life serving him, so he decided to become an immortal to show God didn't get the final say in the matter of life and death. To do so he used his alchemy and recreated the Crimson Stone, a vampire artifact that lets the user capture the soul of a vampire to increase your power as well as having the literal personification of death give you complete loyalty(with the cost of your humanity as you turn into a vampire). To complete it he needed a powerful vampire soul so he tricked one into kidnapping his friend Leon Belmont's wife as he knew he could slay the vampire. He did so but Leon's wife died in the process.
Mathies offered Leon a chance to be immortal like him and fight to rebuke God for the death of his own wife but instead Leon swore he and all his family would fight to destroy Dracula. Mathies spent the next few centuries creating Castlevania and doing research and shit while the world continued to turn. Enter Lisa and you know the rest of the story so far.

>>93754122
>what are those bat creatures that rained along with blood, why and what do they symbolize
I have no idea if this was the intention or not, but I thought they were fetal/aborted versions of the main bat creatures. They hadn't had time to grow or mature yet because Dracula summoned the army a year later to the instant, due to his anger, so a bunch of immature demons came along for the ride and fell out of the sky since they couldn't fly yet.

>>93754122

Guy in white you'll meet later in the episodes.
Bat creatures are gargoyles.
Dracula is just Dracula, a monster/alchemist.

I find it ironic I just posted >>93754978
But sure. Medusa heads had better only appear if he violently and personally murders them all by plucking them from the air and doing terrible things to them. Same for fleamen. Now, Werewolf and Minotaur would be cool. As would myriad other creatures in the series series m zombies to bats to whatever. As far as boss fights, I really only want to see Doppelganger, The Creature (SOTN version), Maybe Beezlebub, Death and Galgamoth.

Also, you should play them in order from 1 to Ecclastia or whatever, but be warned, 1-Super IV are brutal. Symphony of the Night was heralded because it was the first to implement true exploration and RPG elements like leveling up, new gear, stats and HP/MP/Heart upgrades. No one's going to mistake you for shit. You clearly know nothing of the franchise.

>>93746066
It's pretty good. Liked that they're taking their time with characterization despite there being next to none in the game. The humor is spot on for the most part. Could use some more memorable tunes though (doesn't even have to be original game tunes, just something that'll leave an impression beyond whatever scene it's used for)

The only thing that presently has me worried about this series is the fandom. I'm already seeing stuff that could easily turn it into Voltron Legendary Defender levels of cancerous.

>>93746066

Pretty gud

I'm surprised they started with Castlevania 3, but I guess they knew the sooner they put Alucard in the higher the ratings would be

i found castlevania to be really similar to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhlkvO6NLnI

the first episode got me hyped as fuck. Amazing representation of dracula, im a huge drac fan boy, I'll see anything with his name on it . but from there it sort of went down hill a little bit emphasis on a LITTLE BIT

Pros
>humor was well placed
>great visuals
>enjoyed the blood/ gore reminded me a lot of hellsing
>fights were good
>dracula was pretty awesome
>decent tone

Cons
>not enough different types of monsters, weird wolf/bat things and a cyclops
>the speakers were annoying, or focused on too much
>too many british people in romania (do the right accents or one unifying accent)
>the whole alucard reveal was way too obvious, had no gravity in the story at all
>ONLY 4 HALF HOUR EPISODES? its not a season its a movie. not enough happens in the span of 4 episodes

The cynicism of the whole thing got a little annoying at times (muh evil church), but after all it is warren ellis, I think it just personally takes me a moment to adjust to his style, and as I said the humor was well placed so it evened out.

overall I give it a soft 7/10, but I feel that could go up if I see more.

The franchise wasn't set in Romania for a pretty good chunk of its existence, and they seemingly threw that out the window years later, even before the reboot. Also, the castle itself canonically moves around the continent. So I think fans are watching the show and going in with their understanding of the series' (constantly changing) setting.

Lisa looked almost exactly like Elisabetha. There was a 400-year period between when Elisabetha died and when Dracula met Lisa. What would you do if the spitting image of your dead wife--who you sacrificed your humanity for--suddenly showed up at your doorstep after nearly half a millennium?

What I meant by that is that the bosses are he big guns. They live inside to protect their Lord. Random skeletons and demons are small game and even in the anime, die quickly when confronted by anyone with any skill. The bosses are more like roommate bodyguards who owe the landlord infinite rent they pay with their lives.

Without reading what everyone else is saying, I found it really annoying.

I really liked the first episode. Making Dracula a tragic villain is how it should be.

And then Trevor is introduced and the rest of the series just became a mess. Trevor is how I would have imagined Grant Dynasty to be.

The show seemed like it was trying too hard to be edgy, using the 'adults only' tag as an excuse to say 'fuck' and 'shit' a lot, one dimensional cliche "THE CHURCH IS EVIL' villains.

Why the fuck is the city still standing after that attack? I thought everyone got killed. And not only is there still a functioning city, but no one is fleeing in terror? Also, how does the majority of the city NOT know it was the church's doing, after Dracula's fire cloud, fifty meter wide face is in the sky for all to see and loudly says why he is killing them?

And I think they mistook Alucard for the Vampire Lestat. I do not mind that they went with the SotN look int his show, but they could have at least held back the mech designs of his room till a later series. There is a reason why things look more modern in other games due to the century long gaps.

The good? Again, I really liked the first episode. And the art designs were well done. Some good voice acting. Atmosphere was great till the writing butted in.

They could save this series, but get Ellis off the writing team.

Dammit. I knew I forgot something.

>>93760959
Ohhhhh. I gotcha. Good reference. Unfortunately, the Blade movies aged like literal shit.

Also, surely that's not the first media to depict the dagger kick thing.

Are you fucking blind?

I just realized something. If Dracula was a young 20-something when he became Dracula in 1094, and now in the 1400s he physically looks like he's in his 40s, then shouldn't Alucard look significantly older by the time Aria of Sorrow takes place? If Dracula is anything to go by, then vampires do age physically slowly but surely even if they are immortal.

>>93761228
It's a show/game/series about men turned into blood drinking demons with magic powers in our world, that's somehow not our world, with everything from time travel to Resurrection. You're thinking too hard, anon. Pretend Dracula ages at X factor, and that he'd look how he does due to such. Same for Alucard. The true answer is younger Dracula and older Alucard are cooler, time-frames be damned.

>>93760248
Maybe, but I'm not asking for Axe Knights or Bone Pillars or something. I just want my iconic Castlevania mooks.

Besides, imagine how much fun the flea men would have butchering townsfolk.

>its not a season its a movie
That's literally what it is. This was originally going to be a series of three movies, but they decided to make it into a show instead. The first "season" is just the first movie divided up into 4 episodes. The next season is just movies 2 and 3 divided into 8 episodes.

Are you serious he started the "Ayami Kojima must now make every CV Hero into a white-haired waif" thing only occasionally giving us mainly looking dudes like her take on Trevor and Richter. Even my dad initially thought he was a girl.

I just wish Robert Belgrade could act worth a damn. He needs that other-worldly deep fucking voice

>>93761829
I thought his voice in the show was fucking great.

Nigga you've gotta be kidding me.

>>93758526
It's buried in an ever increasing pile of fan wank but the jist of it was "oh, Alucard didn't react to being kicked in the balls; almost as if he had no dick. Could he be trans?" All I could think was 'that's not what trans means you dipshit".

>>93761849
Yes, he was fine. Everyone was, even mumbly quiet fucking Matt Frewer as the bishop. I just have a soft spot for Belgrade's Alucard.

Damnit, man. Can we have nothing? Effeminate dude, sure. Not a fucking WtM transition. He just has iron vampire balls. They should fuck off doing that to fucking EVERYTHING.

>>93761971
Probably true, but I'm going to choose to believe Castlevania ripped it from something else, and not Blade. The fights in Shippuden being rehashed Cowboy Bebop fights frame for frame in certain instances already crippled me a bit. I won't do it again.

>>93761877
I mean. I don't exactly have any first-hand experience with being trans, but I don't think it's possible to get a build like this as a trans man. At least not in the 1400s.

>>93760355
Close. According the novel Reminisce of the Divine Abyss, a weaker replica of Dracula's Castle has an infinite amount of monsters and the castle itself is even made out of monsters. The same is likely true for the real Dracula's Castle since it's obviously much stronger and the manifestation of Drac's will. Once more, these monsters all come from the tortured souls of the Abyss, which is a dimension consisting of at least 6 hells, one of which is big enough to house multiple galaxies.

>>93761007
>THE CHURCH IS EVIL'
You stupid christians keep getting triggered by this shit.

>>93762128
Well I beg to differ the diets of the time where a little better imo sugar and salt wheren't as common as to day for one.

>>93761007
>Why the fuck is the city still standing after that attack?

The city that Dracula hovered over and build his castle is a wildly different one from the one Trevor is in. That's why the priest said he moved away last year due to disagreements with the archbishop.

>I thought everyone got killed.

Everyone in that town did get killed, this one has mostly been living in fear.

> And not only is there still a functioning city, but no one is fleeing in terror?

You know what I actually have to give you that one, everyone was way too blase about fucking demons eating babies. There are heads on pikes and everyone is just talking like normal.

>Also, how does the majority of the city NOT know it was the church's doing,

He only told the OG city that, the same one he rose his castle in, none of the other cities got the firecloud monologue. They have no idea why it's happening except the bishop.

>but they could have at least held back the mech designs of his room till a later series.

But those giant wheels are based off the actual levels.

>>93762133
Fuck me. Amazing. Sources. Give me all your sources. I god damned LOVE Castlevania and have even made songs dedicated to it. I don't know where you got all that. I mean, some of it is kind of hinted in some of the games, but that sounded like you found a Castlevania Historia or some shit.

>>93761994
>>93762128
I was more annoyed at the idiot logic being used to even consider him trans. If you're going to virtue signal you should at least know what the hell you're talking about.

>>93762223
Agreed. Fuck that shit.

>>93762183
You fedora fags keep pushing this historically dubious narrative.

>>93759629
I'm in the camp that thinks this is legit better than every anime airing this season and I couldn't agree more. Every time someone claims a show like Steven Universe or Star vs is better than anime I cringe because holy fuck the autism.

>"Don't worry there's no cute girls!" is the most childish selling point I've heard.

That's the tell-tale sign someone's a fag. This is especially hilarious if the one saying this is from /co/, a board that waifufags even more than /a/ does.

>>93762261
Not to mention it's flat-out wrong, as this does have a cute girl. And even a bishounen.

>>93762261
Agreed. I've played a fuck ton of Castlevania, and I LOVE this anime. Can't fucking wait for season 2. Did anyone ever have an official source when that's expected to come out?

>>93762250
You fucks keep chucking responsability of your attrocities to other denominations.

>>93762221
