The aesthetics, the voice acting, and the story are all great. They even did the fan services without making them too obviously stand out from the plot.

The only thing that's missing from the series is the music. For fucks sake, there are people on youtube that composes castlevania style music, the baroque style harpsichord, for shit and giggles. Surely, a good budgeted production such as this can find some talent to compose musics that were in line with the games.

One of the best thing from all the castlevania games were the music.

Really hope once they get into the castle, the music would be there to accompany the story.
>>
What music are you thinking of specifically? I feel like they could use some orchestral songs from the LoS games and it would fit pretty well. Not sure about electric guitar songs.

They probably have no faith in the success of this show and didn't want to spend a lot until they know if it will be successful. At less than two hours long, though, it almost looks like they made a feature-length movie and then decided to split it up into a four-episode series after the fact.

Nah it was a God of War rip off with a different skin. It wasn't even a japanese game and it killed the franchise. The metroidvanias were the best of their genre, LOS was a mediocre beat'em up and the series lost its identity.

It was the exact same game but with a lesser budget since the first one didn't sell enough to keep the budget high. It's easy to please AAA nigger like you. Just shit a big budget and they'll suck your cock.

>>84731408
>But that's literally the plot of Castlevania.
it is not. Eradicating the chaotic evil the castle embodies has always been the main drive. The Church is an occasional hurtle at worst, but is usually begrudgingly or even enthusiastic supportive of the heroes. Moreover Drac is a fedora.
>>
>>84731451
>The Church is an occasional hurtle at worst
During Castlevania III the Belmonts have gone into exile because humans feared them and saw them as monsters. It's implied later on in the series that the Church doesn't quite like them even though they tolerate them.

It makes sense that they decided to connect the dots here and give the church this shade of darkness. And Alucard's story is literally his mother dying in a fire because of a witch trial. It also makes sense to make the church inquisition-tier.

I have only seen chapter 1 so far, but I liked what I saw. And Drac is not a fedora. He knows God exists, but he has strayed from his path and now seeks only power and revenge. The japs would have probably done something among these lines. Nothing wrong with it.

IS THE ANIMATION GOOD?

>>
>>84731735

>>
>>84731684
>church inquisition-tier.
so like, an average of 10 people killed for 300 years. Spooky study.

She honestly bears some guilt in being burned. She literally fucked a demon and conceived a child with it. If that doesn't derisive a pyre what does?
>>
so is the cartoon canon to the games or an adaptation ?
>>
>>84731834
They apparently worked close with the creator of Castlevania to make it fit in with the canon of the games, but who really knows. I've only played Symphony of the Night and the SNES game.
>>
>>84731770
Probably outsourcing like everyone else including Japan does these days.
>>
>>84731735
Boondocks tier. It's pretty solid, but as fluent as the japs do it. I was expecting Bushido Brown to appear anytime.
>>84731777
More like tens of thousands in a hundred years. If they go full Spanish inquisition people were fucking scared because people would call each other a witch to get an extra piece of land or settle an old grudge. Not for God but for money and to hoard all the knowledge AND the canon story of the Bible. Lisa's story reminds me of the guy who was studying blood transfusions. He got rekt when the church found out what he was studying. There is no denying shit was pretty crazy.

My favorite is the story of how an old woman on her deathbed mistakenly confessed in her delirium to the wrong priest and was subsequently taken out and burned still in her bed.

>IF you disagree with me you are le fedora xDD
No. The church has changed the Bible so much that it's impossible to discern the truth on it anymore. The church has fucked shit up and turned into a massive mafia-like business. And Christianism was pretty much Islam tier until they got slapped a few times for being cunts, which is exactly what needs to happen to Islam. That's how Christianism became the more tame good guy version we know today, but the church as a business still stands. And I'm not even saying the church is all bad. It was thanks to this institution that we saved lots of knowledge from the ancient times and they also made many huge scientific breakthroughs happen.

How can anyone fucking think this was good? I'm a huge fan of the games, and this was my first time watching an "anime" type thing. It was garbage. Voice acting was bad, animation was bad, the writing was legitimately 12 year old tier. Is this what anime fans think is fucking GOOD? It's nothing even like the games, are you telling me trevor bellmont, who attacked dracula with a giant crucifix while yelling "by the power of christ" is some dejected, edgy "I don't care" type guy who hates religion? Why did shaft kill draculas wife when he is working for dracula? Not even the story is good.

But that IS similar to the games. Only they have horrible writing.
The plot should be
>Church excomunicated the Belmonts long ago
>They find out they fucked up when Dracula happens.
>Trevor Belmont is a wandering hunter, not a drunk edgelord.
>Speakers are PART of the church, though not seen with good eyes by many.
The cyclops part was kino though.

The writing sucks. Not talking about the plot but the general dialogue. Belmont is cringy marvel tier quirky hero. The mood of the series is all over the place. Music is generic trash. Stop acting like this is the second coming.

Sounds exactly like castlevania, though. I felt that the cheap presentation together with the juvenile gore and swearing worked slightly in the shows favor. It feels like a show about whipping demons to death should feel.
>>
>>84738688
They do kill the mystery part. They're too obvious about some things. Japs get this better because it has to do with folklore and the west has left that aside. Vampires should be less about showing and more about implying. Like a theatre play or an illusionist trick. Disregarding the retarded faces and animations this game gets it:

>series based On a videogsme about Dracula and monsters

>Series plot: HURR DURR THE CHURCH IS EVIL, LONG LIVE SCIENCE

fucking Netflix how could you ruin something so simple
>>
Pros:
>Design and art looked good
Characters looked good. Backgrounds looked alright to great. Color was fantastic
>Interesting concepts
Some unique setting related aspects overlaid on the dark medieval fantasy genre. Carried over from the source material

Cons:
>Main character sucked
A comic-book superhero quip factory. Tried way too hard to make this guy look like a cool badass. It felt juvenile. This greatly undermined the meaningfulness of his otherwise character development.
>Inconsistent tone
In addition to what I just mentioned, the main character was also done with too much of a comedic brush. It felt really out of place with the apocalyptic, gorey setting and core plot themes. The romantic interest was introduced very bluntly; it felt adolescent and also out of place.
>Animation was not good
Often noticeably bad. There was one (but only one) excellent fight scene. It greatly outshone all other animation.
>Succession of events was sometimes dense
A typical failing of inattentive writing: events too often happen in a rapid sequence of amazingly unlikely and unexplained conveniences that create cheap tension and move the plot forward. It's just too noticeable.

TL;DR:
Watchable but nothing special
>>
>>84732543
I'm with you here, the gore is almost a bit too much. Evil can be shown without a bat demon thing munching on an infant.

Otherwise it was great. The voice actors are perfect.

>>84739389
It wasn't overdone imo. Appropriate for the genre. Just a few quick shots of (well drawn) dismembered corpses here and there. Drives the tone of the setting home effectively and quickly.

The priest having his eyeball whipped out was pushing it, though. But that's as far as they took it IIRC

I don't think the show needs to be misterious, vampires have already become trite and Castlevania was never subtle about horror anyway.

The grimdark heroic fantasy approach might be shallow but it plays to the strengths of the source material and leaves little room for error.

Well, 3 and Symphony of the night seem to be the best choices if you want to appreciate the show on a slightly deeper level. Otherwise start with IV.
>>
>>84739596
>Show features patently anti-christian themes
>/tv/ autists notice and criticize this
They're autistic about it, but they're right. The writers are pretty clearly riding in the stream of modern atheist culture. It is what it is.

It was odd that the holy water was an effective weapon against the demons, considering that throughout the entire show up to that point, no character associated with the Church had been portrayed with any redeeming traits, and likewise the concept of god was never given any validity. Just a failure on the part of the writers to keep current political conflicts out of the story. Just a reflexive impulse to reinforce the things they're personally involved with. Easy mistake to make, really.
>>
>>84739176
I disagree. This is the sort of thing animation is perfect for, because you can do it in a "convincing" way that is impossible in live action due to the limitations of practical effects and the uncanny valley of CGI.

Honestly, watching that scene of the bat demons overrunning the city during that bishop speech spooked me good. I imagined how truly horrifying it would be for such large creatures to come crawling out of the shadows and crushing human bodies like wet paper bags. It would be completely panic inducing. Those animated sequences scared me more than any live action horror movie I've seen in the last year. But, it might just be because I find the idea of hell to be a potent source of horror, who knows?

I was really disappointed by that. At least they added that cool fight scene and nailed Alucard as a character.

Also Belmont is a cunt. He sounds more like a less funny version of Grant. They could have made him more righteous and that's it. Then make Grant a bandit who is really a runaway nobleman and the party bantz would have been glorious.

I'm uncertain that much mystery could be wrung from vampires when having an essential, main character to the early plot named and referred to as "dracula."

Full bodyshots in broad daylight of the primary monster design right away is a bit of a buzzkill.

Gee, it's almost like the show isn't anti-Christian at all, but anti-establishment and makes a distinction between men of faith and men in robes. It's almost like you're mad for no reason and too much of a brainlet to see the holes in your own reading of the show.

They didn't burn her for that because they didn't know. And you're moving the goal posts. You're mad because Netflix "forced" representatives of the Church as antagonists by having them burn Lisa Tepes at the stake. But this wasn't Netflix: that's the source material. If you loved it in the games, why do you hate it in the show? How do you tell Lisa's story without her dying at the hands of the Church AND stay faithful to the games? You can't. You're criticizing Netflix for getting it right.

That was a great line. Out of the entire series that got the most out of me. I literally laughed out loud. Although, at least in the translation, the line was "Have some class.

They didn't need to spell that out for me explicitly.

It was anti Christian. That is to say, it was done with the verbatim slant of typical modern atheism in every, single, circumstance except that one. That's why it seemed "odd." If there wasn't a culturally recognized precedent for the function of "holy water" that was necessary as a plot device, I'm certain the creators would have had it be ineffective. It would have been in line with the rest of the included themes that way.

And the creators apparently felt that it seemed odd, too. Because the main character was given a quick line of dialogue to explain it. Quoting:
>Well at least that priest can do one thing right!

>It's almost like you're mad for no reason and too much of a brainlet
I'm not mad. You are. That's why you feel the need to insult me despite my having done and said nothing rude to you whatsoever.
>>
>>84740575
>Well at least that priest can do one thing right!
But that's not what it says. He says:
>That priest could really do holy water after all.
Which means he doesn't have much faith in priests. That is because his senpai got excomunicated and he's butthurt at priests.
Even so I thought the whole monks with bows and knives part was retarded. They could have used normal people instead for a better effect.
>>
>>84726316
>One of the best thing from all the castlevania games were the music.
Not one of. THE best thing.
>>
>>84740543
Again, I'm not upset that this bias was included in the show. I'm simply stating that the writers and creators have pretty clearly been influenced by the exact culture and ideas of modern atheism, and, as "devout" adherents to that debate, felt compelled to include it in the show when it was not needed in the plot to that extent, and actually took away from it. Hell, the Church is made out to be a bigger villain than the literal baby eating demons, who are given a speaking line in a scene which conveys their opposition to and disbelief in god in a somewhat sympathetic light.

>>84740670
>Even so I thought the whole monks with bows and knives part was retarded.
Yea I noticed that too. It was pretty silly. Just more of an emphasis on the overly blunt theme that the priests/the church are the bad guys. "Bad guys" like that (aside from the scary devil monsters) are not really needed in this show. The antagonist is Dracula, who is already a multidimensional villain. He's not only bad. So why is it needed to only show everything Christian in such a one dimensional light? It's not. The show would be better if the Church, too, had more depth to it. Maybe dracula's wife's compassion for humanity was based in Christianity, for example. Maybe a few of the priests genuinely believed they were doing the right thing by executing wifey.

I'm not arguing against atheism and I'm not arguing for christianity. I'm only discussing the plot and the show.

Nice one Warren

>>84744054
The church isn't evil here either you idiot. Those people from the church are not priests, they're pretty much thugs serving the bishop, who is a cunt.
Then there's the actual priest who blesses water to hurt demons.
You could compare the bishop to a power-hungry version of Barlowe, from Ecclesia.

Castlevania had always pretty much a morally gray church. They accept vampire hunters and sorceresses and shit because they have to, but they never liked them. In the original story, Sypha is sent by the church. They should have made the speakers part of the church.

Uh oh Spaghetti-Os. Just what did the game mean by this?

>>84744153
It's not the central point of the show either. Dracula and his hellish army are. A bishop is taking advantage of the siege to try and shore up his own personal power as a sub plot. The secondary villain is the bishop, not the Church itself. You're giving the show the least charitable reading possible to build up straw men.

I'm gonna feel like a moron here,but what is HS? I tried googling it and nothing came of it.

Ok, you're shitposting.

>>84734295
wait, the corrupted bishop is going to become Shaft? Where did you gather that? I just assumed he died
>>
>>84744495
>Story is about Dracula.
>Central point of the first 3 chapters is the church REEEEEEEEEEE
They were a lesser villain and their arc is over because the bishop is dead. How fucking dense are you?
>>
Where is it in the game story? Somewhere around III?
>>
>>84744642
yep, the show is taking the overall plot points from III. no idea how long this will go on for but with alucard being introduced so prominently perhaps they will do many of the games as story arcs.
>>
>>84744559

Dracula turned into a bad guy because the Church was evil
Belmont clan was exiled because the Church was evil
The sorcerers we're going to get killed because the Church was evil.

Central point of 3 episodes OUT OF 4

Of those 4 episodes, Trevor ( the protagonists) was trying to escape from the priests and fought with them until the last episode.

God, you're fucking retarded, but i guess as a shill you have to defend this kind of shit even if you know you're wrong
>>
>>84744495
You're right. I forgot that the plot is being advanced by the night time attacks of cities by clergymen summoned by Not-Dracula. HEY WAIT A MINUTE
>>
>>84726316
i loved it. shame only 4 episodes.
>>
>>84744742
>Dracula turned into a bad guy because the Church was evil
No. Dracula turned into a bad guy because people fell for their superstitious beliefs. And even if that had happened it's literally Symphony of the Night.
>Belmont clan was exiled because the Church was evil
This is pretty much the plot of Castlevania 3. It's not because the church is evil, it's because they're feared. They're superhumans as fierce as monsters themselves and their way of dealing with the supernatural seems supernatural.
>The sorcerers we're going to get killed because the Church was evil.
the bishop, not the Church. The bishop wanted absolute power, which is why I find retarded that they didn't keep the sorcerers as part of the church, as they initially were. Those were no true priests. There is one who shows up for a few seconds during the last chapter.

How much of a dumb faggot you have to be to need an explanation on a show for teenagers?
>>
>>84744742
I'm only halfway episode 2 but I can tell that Dracula just had some quiet episode and Belmots were hunting vampires early which made them tainted by dark shit in eyes of the church so I wouldn't whitewash Vlad completly.
>>
>>84744742
>Dracula turned into a bad guy because the Church was evil
Dracula was always a bad guy. He tried to change out of love for Lisa, but sought revenge after she was burned at the stake. Just like in the game.
>Belmont clan was exiled because the Church was evil
Just like in the game. Not because the Church was evil, but because it didn't trust them and their dealings with the supernatural. This is spelled out explicitly in episode 2.
>The sorcerers we're going to get killed because the Church was evil.
The Speakers aren't described as sorcerers. The Church wasn't trying to kill them either. A rogue bishop was.
>Central point of 3 episodes OUT OF 4
The central point of the episodes is the establishment of Dracula's motivation and the threat he poses to the rest of the characters. There are sub plots as well, but that's the central point.
>God, you're fucking retarded, but i guess as a shill you have to defend this kind of shit even if you know you're wrong
What a convenient world you live in, where the only people who ever disagree with you are people paid to do so.
>>
Why is it so gory tho?

Its like they saw Hellsing and went OMG I WANT TO MAKE THAT TOO <3 XDD 100 (ok hand sign)
>>
>>84744939
This too. Dracula was an evil vampire wizard who didn't agree with god's will. He WAS a bad guy, but didn't really give a fuck about killing humanity until Lisa happened.

Ecclesia and Portrait on hardest are harder than CV1. Castlevania 3 is fucking impossible though. That fucking doppelganger

the corridor sequence before death is easily harder than both Ecclesia and PoR unless you used save states like a scrub

well I own one too but I mostly play on emulators nowadays for convenience and filters, though even official releases on virtual console have savestates at this point

Am I going crazy? If I write long form paragraphs, I get called Reddit. If I write short replies prefaced by green text 4chan style, I'm told to stop and write like an adult. The fuck do you people want? Is /tv/ the worst board on this site?

Also, not an argument. Sorry you got BTFO, but that's life, kid.

>Being this Reddit

It's more about being too much focused on the bishop and priests than Trevor killing Monsters

If they made 4-6 more episodes about Sypha, Trevor and Alucard quest to kill Dracula, or reduced the Gresit storyline to just 2 episodes people wouldn't be bitching about it.
>>
>>84746593
desu there is /pol/ and "/pol/".
"/pol/" being mostly underage edgelords from r_the donald, conservative normies and overall authoritarian bootlickers. For example this idiot, who doesn't understand that humans are low-tier enemies so they went with those as the first villains. Ellis is a hack and has failed to deliver what was impossible to fail, I give them that.

Every time I do that I get called Reddit, like Reddit owns punctuation and complete sentences. Happened on /fit/ earlier today, too. It's honestly burning my ass a bit. I don't go to Reddit. Stop calling me Reddit just because you have nothing to say about my posts other than to mock the writing style.

Nice little prologue, Alucard fight was bretty good but where the fuck is Bloody Tears?

4chan has always been one of a handful of places in which not typing out full sentences, if not necessarily with perfect punctuation, leads to insults.
>>
>>84747882
My point was you can't fucking win anymore. Long posts are Reddit and short posts are autistic. Nobody wants to have a quality conversation anymore and if you try to have one, you get told to leave. I've been coming here since 2007 and it feels surreal to have newfags trying to steal 4chan like this.
