Castlevania Thread Why is Trevor so perfect?

>>383117763
It's because he doesn't care

He's Medieval Squall Leonhart after discovering pussy and booze.

Only complain I have is Sypha's awful fucking voice actor.

Good lord that was terrible. And I have to put up with that godawful accent if I wanna continue watching.

That fucking Bishop's voice actor was TOP NOTCH goddamn.

>>383119678
>Bishop's voice actor was TOP NOTCH goddamn.

Whenever he spoke up, maybe. Sypha's voice actress needed to stick to an accent, it was sexy when she nailed the 'Spanish' one.

>>383119783

Hopefully they tell whoever it is to straighten the fuck up because any time that character spoke I wanted her to stop talking.

Alucard is still my favorite castlevanian, may be because he's my first ansgty edgy MC but whatever.

I have to say, from the initial announcement, I figured this was going to be shit. It was actually pretty great.

so they have made a FFVIII anime and I didn't know

TREVOR FUCKING BELMONT

>>383120447
I wish people didn't use the words angsty or edgy when they don't know what they mean.

Alucard was neither of those things

Richard Armitage is a great actor

Dracula sounds a lot like Daniel Craig.

>>383123005
He did grieve over his mother's death and have nightmares about it, off the top of my head.

I expected shit due to how people kept going on about the guy spearheading this kept wanting to put goat fucking into this for years and Iga turning the project down over it, as well as no Grant, but I was very surprised with how good it turned out in the end.

My biggest gripe for now is that they should have just pushed both seasons out due to them only being four episodes each. Another smaller complaint is that I was hoping it was Death himself speaking in the church to the bishop, only to be disappointed that it was generic demon that could talk. Still loved the exchange they had

>>383123191
That's not angst, though. That's remorse and guilt since game Alucard was in a position to save his mother and instead did as she wished and allowed it to happen. That kind of stuff fucks anyone and anything over.

>>383123105

Voice work is different though. I was surprised how well he adapted here.

But yeah, ever since his turn as Dolarhyde in Hannibal, he's been in my upper echelon of actors.

>>383123191
Wikipedia
angst [(ahngkst)] A kind of fear or anxiety; Angst is German for “fear.” It is usually applied to a deep and essentially philosophical anxiety about the world in general or personal freedom. (See existentialism.)

Urban Dictionary
edgy
Adjective. Taking coolness to its extreme and generally beyond the realm of actual possibility, while at the same time seemingly unaware of how ridiculous it is.


That's not Alucard my dude. He was all serious business about everything, he only ever showed emotion over his mother and it certainly wasn't angsty and he never attempted to be cool or look cool. He was actually pretty bland and dull if you're talking about his personality.

Is this the same Warren Ellis as the comic writer?

>Crossposting from /co
Once again, good job picking the worst shot you could find in the show anon. Guess every animated series in history is shit as well.

Must have been written by a frequent /rAtheism fag. Also this area was Orthodox, not Catholic.

>>383124443
So in real life it was the Orthodox that angered Dracula?

>>383124443
I don't think that's the case. God blatantly exists within the series' canon as does Hell, one of the priests creating holy water was portrayed in a positive light as were the speakers. It was really only the corrupt church (mainly the bishop) that was explicitly using god's name for the act of evil and they were even called out as not being loved by god for their heinous actions.

As for the orthodox/catholic thing, IDK about it but this is an alternate universe where vampire slayers and black magic are commonplace. Hairsplitting at this point.

This is typical anime tbqhwy. Unless there is a massive budget like Attack on Titan, most of them look this way.

>>383124625
i think the only one who's seething about this being genuinely good might be you

>>383124474
It was a nasty villianius turd named Mehmed II

>>383124625
I haven't even watched the series nor care to until it's finished, but you're blatantly a faggot with an agenda passing off the worst shot as consistent standard of quality for a series. Even Soul Eater Not, terrible as it was, is usually better animated than that one infamous scene.

>>383124764
Not him but most of the action scenes are pretty choppy.

And that wouldn't be that big of a deal if it were the length of any normal animated series instead it was 4 episodes. Just feels like laziness.

>>383124904
There's 8 more coming. No idea why Netflix broke it into 4 and 8 episode chunks.

>>383124958
Are you sure there's 8 more coming? I thought the series as a whole was gonna be 8.

>>383125021
I thought it was 4 and then 8, but now I'm not sure now that you are questioning me.

>>383124904
The animation was on point if you asked me, even for scenes like the angry mob they had detailed snow particles subtly placed in some shots and tiny details like Dracula making his hands bleed with his nails or the flames flickering. There was plenty going on in the background during shots.

As for stiff movement, scenes like Alucard dashing only to be countered by Trevor or Trevor jumping off Sypha to hit the cyclops were extremely fluid. Sypha's spells came out pretty smoothly as well. I only really remember 2 shots sticking out as particularly bad, but given the wide array of animators that's to be expected. It's a bit more disappointing in this case since it's only 4 episodes as you said, but it was supposed to be 8 before being split into 2 parts so I can somewhat sympathize.

So did it finally happen? Did we finally get a video game adaptation that isn't shit?

>3 stars on Netflix
What?

>>383127187
Well I mean it's not shit.

It's not amazing either.

>>383127527
That's an 8/10 by video game standards.

>>383124717
Most western animation, yeah.

>>383128395
Most western animation looks much worse than this.

>>383128518
I know but with good budget and directors can't get better than this sadly.

>>383117763
Who now wants a new Castlemania with the tone of this show? Following Bloodborne's style could be a starting point, but it has to have Castlevania gameplay

How could they possibly fuck up the next season?

>>383124279
The key framing is actually pretty good, they're just doing this on 4s for some reason. Although the odd part is Alucard and Trevor are staggard so one updates every 2 frames collectively even if they're both moving every 4th frame.

Animation is usually done on 2s (characters move every 2 frames) but here they probably tried to save some money since it's a wide shot by doing half the work. Basically all this needs is an inbetween frame between each action and this would look fine.

>>383132538
There are plenty of anime shows with decent to good animation but if you despise something just because it uses low or stopped frames than it is your taste that is very narrow.

Using different framepacing is a big part of even the quality Japanese animation and there is nothing """nu""" about it.

>>383132824
Start with 3 and Symphony then decide which you like better

You can tell this was produced by the guy behind Dredd

>>383133038
Going with classic Castlevanias I'g suggest 1 over 3.
Though I've never been huge fan of 3, somehow I feel it's leveldesign to be less fun than in 1.

>>383131904

It's American, and it's still cheap. We don't know the budget. It looks a little better than tv animation, but not by miles.

>Why are japs so fucking stupid and incompetent?

They know what they're doing. When they want to, they can make the best smoothest animation in the world with highly detailed art. Just that most anime is cheap as shit for turbo nerds so it has sweatshop tier budgets.

>>383133067
Because it's great and totally understands the source material?

>>383132824
Symphony of the Night if you definitely want a great experience. You will be seriously amazed how rich and detailed that game is. The combat isn't very balanced at a lot of times tho, either too easy or too hard, so play it mostly for the exploration/adventure.

It's enjoyable. Even tho animation is not the best it's still better than the average anime.

>>383133343
the Simpsons animation was outsourced later to Korea but it still follows the work and artstyle of the original American animators

this on the other hand is like Korra, where they use Korean animators specialized in Japanese animation from the start and the whole artstyle and frame pacing is built around them.

Anyone else kinda find it odd seeing the FREDERATOR! at the end?

It's story is based off a game that told a pretty vague story as it came out almost 30 years ago.

>>383135890
You're a fucking idiot. The middle ages marked a period of anti-science where we lost a bunch of scientific knowledge from the past, like from Greeks and Romans. The Church turned on science, mathematics and philosophy, setting back technological progress several hundred years, and burning "witches" and others who defied the church in the search for scientific enlightment and discovery.

It's nice how it ties the plot of Symphony and 3 together like that. In 3 it's not really stated WHY Dracula is a dick, or why Alucard leaves Dracula.

Though, it's clearly implied that Alucard witnessed Lisa's burning, and that he was a child at the time.

This storyline also strongly implies that Dracula was redeemable and could in fact have been a benefactor of humanity.

>>383136023
>who asked for this?

If we're lucky, somewhere in the next 4-8 episodes. Sypha in the original lore was sealed in stone for like 30 years before she was met, but they clearly took liberties there.

I actually hope they showcase more of Dracula before he began his rampage, since I never knew how much I wanted to just see Mathias dick around and possibly showcase more of what he's like besides "HA HA HA!" teleporting and wine throwing.

Next up is the first game. How in the hell are they going to adapt that? It's the story of ONE guy going off to kill Dracula... again. It's super simple. should they skip it? Simon Belmont and his story is probably the most iconic of Castlevanias. The only way it can work is if they put 1 and Simon's Quest as one series.

Now a big problem with the Castlevania storyline is that it's very repetitive, and video gamey. It's in the past, Dracula is either revived or about to revive, and you gotta go kill him. That's pretty much all the storylines.

In Castlevania Lore, what is a vampire? They seem to be some kind of Demon Lords. There's high vampires like Dracula who have power over souls. Then there's lower vampires, who are just regular enemies. Drinking blood seems rather secondary to their actual nature.

Rondo and Symphony are definitely going to be done. They already introduced Alucard here, and they're using the Symphony design. And they're a duology, so they pair up nicely.

It's what other games they're going to do that's the question. Simon's storyline is skippable since nothing really happens, so can it be skipped? Rondo-Symphony is the continuation of, and end of Alucard's main storyline. Then Aria builds upon Symphony with the new lord.

Rondo is pretty late, like almost 1800, so that's like 350 years after 3.

The image is really dumb, as it assumes linear progress, and assumes modern style speedy progress that is really a pretty modern phenomenon.

Go to 300 bc and then 100 AD. There's definitely some advancement, but it's much more stuble than 1700 to 2000.

There was a genuine period of economic and political decline in Europe because of the fall of Rome though. It took them a long time to get the ball rolling again.

We need to support this. Sign up for netflix to watch it. Watch it multiple times, even on mute. Failing that, bump up its views. If you're at a friends, ask if you can play Castlevania eps on mute on a tab. Recommend it to friends. Get the word out.

If this is successful, we'll get more seasons, and maybe even more shows. Me, I'd love to see games like Final Fantasy 6 get adaptions.

>>383140016
good luck getting passionate people like Ellis on board for those projects though. I'm replaying it on mute just because I want more. Doubt it will be successful regardless

>was there ever a modification or a patch or some altered version of sotn that included content from the sega saturn version?

No, SotN hacking never got very mature. They're still at the reverse engineering the map system and shit. The only SotN hacks we get are a few that mess with stats to make it harder or more balanced.

Saturn content is a mixed bag, really. "Third Hand" is a nice system. Other than that, it's pretty meh. The new sprite work on the enemies is pretty awful. This is rushjob b-team shit. The new areas are short and just connect a few corrodors to each other.

It's implied that Alucard was a child when that happened and witnessed it. (Implied because he knew what her last words were, but wasn't able to stop it. If he was an adult he would have rescued his mother.

There's no indication that anime Alucard was there.

>>383138282
It's an adaptation of CV3. Trevor only, maybe other games will be adapted later on but I don't know.

>>383142539
He said these were scientists in the Middle Ages, not specifically the "Dark Ages" psuedo timeframe therein. And let's be honest, science was progressing perfectly well through the Dark Ages, but only by the inheritors of those that claimed Rome's legacy. You can't blame the Christians for not advancing on what the Greeks and Romans knew when they were cosigned to north and west Europe while Islam experienced their sole technological and scientific boom in history while they squatted on the ruins of Byzantine.

Just play the original.

>>383144350
>>383144398
What's wrong with Lord of Shadows? its not like I could compare it to the other Castlevanias

>>383144575
the problem is that it a whole something else compared to all the previous castlevanias being in 3d
the first game isn't that bad, just decent, nothing special
problem with LoS is that the second game is downright ATROCIOUS and effectively killed off the franchise, so that a huge stain people can't overlook

>>383144575
Nothing, really. I like it better than the PS2 Castlevanias. A lot of people don't like it for disregarding the plot and character designs of the previous games, however.

I never got to play Aria of Sorrow or Dawn of Sorrow. What's the best way to play them these days? Download a ROM?

>>383144210

The series has 3 main playstyles.

1. 2D action platformer
2. 2D exploration platformer
3. 3D action.

The ones worth playing:

2D action platformer:

1
3 (Netflix series is an adaption of this)
Bloodlines
Rondo

2D exploration:
Symphony (sequel to rondo)
Aria
Order of Ecclessia

1 kicks my ass left and right, and I've never properly beaten it. 1-3 are pretty old, and slow and the Belmonts move pretty stiffly. Movement gets more fluid in later games.

>>383130774

why did they forget her? she died first ya know

>>383145232

Could Dracula have been won over to the good side with Lisa alive? Or would her being corrupted by the Darkness be inevitable?

I can't remember, has Dracula died yet in this storyline before 3?

>>383145232
>y'know I can't be the only one who always kind of felt she had it coming right?

I felt that way too, but I think this is intentional to make the townsfolk's hatred towards Lisa and obedience to the church more believable.

Also, I don't know how much Dracula has terrorized the country already. He states he is a recluse and that the castle hasn't moved in years.

Now of course in the canon, Dracula has been a dick since 1094 when he was still Mathias.

>>383145664
that game is complete shit

>>383145621
Retranslated/fixed Simon's Quest is pretty dope though. Overall better game than 1.

>>383145664

>Lament of Innosense

The Ps2 games are a bit obscure and don't have the same iconic status as the early Castlevania games. Also I don't really like the story and it's too much of a rehash of Dracula's backstory from Symphony.

I do like the plot of Curse of Darkness, but it really is a side story.

>>383145892
Curse of Darkness really hooked me with the creatures and weapon crafting. Goddamn do I want to play it again

It was cool how they showcased his castle in the opening segment of this show and it had almost a Disney quality to it, and

>>383137053
Vampires are just normal creatures depending on the game, and reserved as high level bosses in others. Like the 64 games had them as enhanced humans, while the 2D games have them as very rare and powerful entities like Annet in Rondo Remake / the one who I can't think of his name from Portrait yet had that "blood art technique" and even figured out how to separate Dracula from his own castle.

I don't think they've ever had vampires suck blood besides Dracula in... Ecclessia? I think he had a move in that game where he grabs and sucks for health regen or something. Alucard had DARK METAMORPHASIS and would regain health from enemy blood splatters, which is different from the usual antics.

>>383145664
Few hundred years and claims from game lore that all of Drac's women are just her reincarnated

>>383145769
The animation seems to imply that he was the actual Vlad and did Vlad things due to the head pike comments early on, as opposed to Castlevania games just slapping the moniker on him and glossing over it due to no games occuring in that period of time and having Mathias be a different character.

>>383144795
>>383144838
Oh I see, I guess I didn't notice all of htat, being the first Castlevania I played. Didn't even touch when I heard that it had forced stealth sections tho
>>383144973
Thanks for the info. Guess I'll start by Symphony which seems to be the most popular one

>>383145270
The correct order would be:
>Castlevania (NES)
>Simon's Quest (NES, optional)
>Dracula's Curse (NES)
>Rondo of Blood (PC Engine/Turbografx)
>Symphony of the Night (Playstation)

Symphony of the Night is pretty much the pinnacle of the series and there's a bunch of GBA/DS games that play like it but I haven't finished any of them. Any 3D Castlevania can and should probably be skipped over.

>>383146093
>>383146093
>Thanks for the info. Guess I'll start by Symphony which seems to be the most popular one

Start with Rondo, which is a nice introduction to the original style of gameplay. And storywise it's before Symphony. You get WAY more out of Symphony if you know who all these people are.

>>383146093
>forced stealth sections in LoS2
whoever came up with better get shot or hit by a truck

>>383146162
i don't see how you can list castlevania as a good starting point to the series. that's like saying final fantasy 1 for the NES is a good starting point.

Why 3 and not SotN?

>>383146443
You can't escape it. There is probably still more Ocelot/Big Boss or Solid Snake/Otacon slash fanart than there is regular fan art. Thats the internet for you.

Nitpicks:

3:
>Trevor sets out to fuck up Dracula because he has a mission, and it doesn't matter if his family is hated or not
>prays at a ruined church alter before heading out
>goes through the countrysdie fighting monsters
>fights a cyclops, a powerful Dracula monster

Anime:
>Trevor is a wise cracking Ellis style protagonist who doesn't care about anything
>goes to rescue the Speaker's grandkid
>Grandkid was looking for Alucard
>Cyclops is unrelated to Dracula and guards the sleeping warrior (for some reason. Did Alucard set this up?)
>Church is EVIL villains

I kinda like the original setup better. I was waiting for the scene of Trevor praying at the altar

>>383146443

There's been tons of that for years already if you know where to look.

>>383146806
So this scene can have more meaning when they eventually get to SOTN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuZqhyN_Ek0

>>383146806
Because 3 is the first game in the series chronologically (ignoring the shitty PS2 game) and actually has a cast of multiple characters that work together.

>>383146806
Because 3 is the earliest (good) installment since SotN is a sequel to Rondo, which is a sequel to the original Castlevania trilogy.

Also, this adaptation has a lot of elements from SotN anyway, like Alucard's design and the Lisa/Dracula story.

I'm guessing if this show continues for a while, the rest of season 1 (the eight more episodes coming out next year) will finish off CV3's story, then season 2 will be Simon Belmont's story, and season 3 will be Symphony of the Night.

>>383146806
>Why 3 and not SotN?

3 is an iconic NES game many remember, and it's a prequel storyline. And it has a big cast of characters. This introduces Alucard, LIsa and Dracula for future storylines.

Also Symphony is nice but it's a sequel to Rondo. Why start at a game that's a sequel?

>>383123397
The second season is 8 episodes.

>>383146443
You sure can try but it wont stop them

>>383147034
>Trevor is a wise cracking Ellis style protagonist

I've seen a lot of people say they like this, and while I think the show's Trevor is a cool character, it isn't Trevor.

Like, if Ellis wanted to adapt Castlevania 3 so bad, only to completely change the character, why not just make a new original IP.

>Cyclops is unrelated to Dracula and guards the sleeping warrior (for some reason. Did Alucard set this up?)

I was under the impression that Dracula moved his castle underneath the village and that the catacombs were the entrance into Dracula's castle

>>383146293
>that's like saying final fantasy 1 for the NES is a good starting point.
Castlevania 1 is top notch though. Even if that's the only one you ever play you're still a winner for playing it. FF1 just doesn't compare.

>>383143094

>he got cucked by death twice already yet he's still his buttbuddy

To be fair death has to obey god, and thats was what set mathias on the path to become dracula, he fought in the crusades to defend the name of god, but god still sent death to take elizabeth as a "thank you" gift for Mathias.

After using alchemy to track down death and learn the truth that god fucked him over, he made the choice to team over with death and take over the soul of walter, the big bad vampire of the time, mathias needed his soul to become a vampire lord himself.

Elizabeth got reincarnated in the form of alucard mother centuries down the line, she got killed again and dracula got cheated of his waifu once more, centuries later she was reborn has mina hakuba in japan, and dracula was reborn as soma, and this time "dracula" got to be with his waifu.

With luck they will live together until they die of old age, the game left pretty clear the only thing stopping soma from turning back into dracula is mina being at his side, the instant she dies he turns in dracula.

Btw Death genuinely likes Dracula and only sticks around out of loyalty and friendship.

>>383147034
It's an adaptation of a nes game where opening scroll depicts Dracula as evil vampire of bad evilness.

>>383147034

Trevor prays in the ruined city outside of Castlevania, which in the anime would be Targoviste.

Exactly 0% of this is in Castlevania.

>>383148481

>>383149423
I have been told that this season is more of a prequel. The second season is more the game. Also dracs waifu was totally burned in at least one of the games.

>>383149423

Also, the Belmonts are clearly pius HOLY Christian warriors. You know, holy powers, holy whip, holy cross. So far I can't see this Trevor throwing a cross as a boomerang.

He reminds me a LOT of Guts from Berserk. Which is fine for that series. Guts has a strong anti-authoritarian and anti-clerical streak which fits that character and universe more. Trevors scene with the Bishop felt like Guts confronting Mozgus.

>>383149625

I sorta want HBO to do a live action series. They can re-use a lot of their props from Game of Thrones.

dmc anime is better

>>383149423
Have you missed the entire demon speech to the bishop? They weren't righteous christians

>>383148360

The point is that humans have corrupted the church. It's made clear later that God does indeed exist, but that His teachings have been twisted by evil men to justify atrocities. At least one of the church's men was implied by Trevor to be a former cutthroat (the knife fighter), who likely joined up because he knew he could abuse his power as a man of the cloth.

That one priest later on that is directed by Trevor to create holy water implies that there are still good men in the church that have not spurned God's teachings and are rewarded in kind, they're just not the greedy fucks in power.

Trevor was always my favorite Belmont, I love he's getting so much attention. Suck ass, Simonshitters and Richterfags.

>>383149925
DMC anime was bland garbage

I'm a bit miffed they didn't use any music from the source material.

>>383150259
He's definitely the best, but Ralph is a much better name than Trevor.

>castlevania

Why not Metal Gear, it would have been better as a "western anime".

>>383150414

Fingers crossed that they're saving it for season 2.

Season 2 fucking when?
I need more of this snake-fuckingly crazy show

>>383150587
Shut up, you're gettin metal gear survive. We Castlevania fans have only got this

>>383150453
Simpson has forever tainted my conception of the name 'Ralph'.

Trevor is at least a manly and strong name.

>We will never get remastered versions of the old games in 16:9 using the old assets in a new engine like what happened to Blaster Master Zero and Turok 1/2

dude, I'll be happy if Harmony of Despair got released for PC

Generally, with some series, especially with ones with bigger Western fanbases than Japanese, I think the Western localization is better. Mega Man sounds better than Rock Man. I know what Kitamura was going for, but it sounds weird for Westerners. Sonic localization was better than Japanese. Most of the Castlevania localization was good, such as Trevor Belmont vs. Ralph Belmondo.

Though, a good translation of the Japanese title would be "Dracula's Demonic Castle". "Demon Castle" would have been a cool title for the series that gets the idea across. It'd be pretty similar to the Demon's Souls or Dark Souls titles.

this was rather great.
static character drawings are very detailed but the animation in the slow bits was pretty shit but then two fights were very well done and up there with good anime (props to whoever animated that cyclops scene with the flowing cape and shit).
hope netflix faggots watch this shit so they make more seasons after the second.

>>383152248
it's already confirmed for another season i believe

>>383152389
With twice the number of episodes no less.

>>383151403
>>383152182
You're ignoring that the classical pronunciation of Ralph is pronounced "Rafe", like Ralph Fiennes.

>>383152182
>"Demon Castle" would have been a cool title for the series that gets the idea across.
It also would've had no chance of being called that during the era it released in.

>but the animation in the slow bits was pretty shit

I've watched Fist of the North Star and Armored Troopers VOTOMS. I love these shows. You have no idea what "bad animation" is. I can put up with a lot of shit. This is pretty good.

Big bonuses that I like:

1. Colors. Nips are for whatever reason obsessed with washed out low contrast colors and bright scenes. Any modern anime shows the outdoors like it's the brightest most oppressive day imaginable, basically impossible to go outsdie sans hat and shades. I thought it was inherent to digipaint, but nope, it's just how the Japanese use digipaint. Color wise this looks a lot like anime pre-2001.

2. The designs. Slight "anime" stylization, but with small eyes and realistic shapes and proportions. I fucking LOVE this shit. Reminds me of 80's manga style. Never super huge in anime proper. I really hate moe minimalized faces. It looks so bad. A little big eyes is fine, but they take it way too far.

I want my anime bitches to have proper noses and adult faces instead of no nose round headed hobgoblins you see in anime today.

Sylpha is a good compromize. Her eyes are a little bigger than everyone else's, but it's not crazy huge.

Art style reminds me a lot of Berserk actually. Miura, before he went loli crazy, tended to draw girls with larger eyes, but everyone else realistic.

>4 Episodes
>20 minutes long each
Why even bother making this shit if you are going to totally blue ball your audience?

>>383153360
This.

>>383153649
compared to what was happening in the fight scenes the other animation was crap no mater how you slice it. slow awkard and somewhat badly animated generic western faire. they even have that weird shit old western animators loved to use back in the day when some characters while speaking move their face up and down for no reason as if to fill the shot with more aniamtion frames, just looks bad keep the face straight.

Someone find Hitoshi Akamatsu. I'd love to see what he thinks of this.

>>383154495
And IGA as well. Now that he can experience this as a fan and not a producer, I'd love to hear his thoughts.

>>383153649
>Armored Troopers VOTOMS
I remember the original series had a lot of QUALITY episodes, but the ovas and sequels were fine except the cgi.

>>383154709

I imagine Iga would hate it. Akamatsu would say it differs from his vision, but would be delighted that anyone even cares about his games 30 years onwards.

So i wanna play throught all them castlevanias, which versions of each game should i play /v/?

>mfw never completed one before.

>>383147549
Damn is this depressing.

Dude was loyal to god and justice and he killed his waifu, twice?

Was there any good reason why ONLY after fucking 1000 years god let them be together?

Did god needed for some dark lord to wander earth or something? I mean if god did it cuz the order he belonged was corrupt, then why not punish the corrupt dudes only?

So which game will they be adapting for season 2?

>>383156205
I'm sure they're sticking with Trevor's story for now, they haven't even recruited Grant.

>>383145995
>I don't think they've ever had vampires suck blood besides Dracula in... Ecclessia?
64's could along with the regular ones too. You could even get a game over for not curing the vampirism in time.

>>383156205
CV3.

>>383139820
Yeah, as Alucard.

>This series will never make it to PoR
>I will never get to see Charlotte animated and saying my name a lot
Time to sudoku

>>383156298
>they haven't even recruited Grant.

A-anon. I... I have bad news.

Grant isn't going to appear in this at all.

>All these people pirating it

I'm scared everyone's gonna do taht, and the actual ratings will not be enough to justify doing another game.

I wish Alucard was Robert Belgrade for full on DAHKR METAMORPHUHTHIS and SOUL THTEAL

The guy doing Trevor's voice is really, really good. Never been too into Castlevania before but this is pretty good.

>>383139932
They are equally as bad. Both of them need to be removed from /v/ and the internet in general.

>>383157548
Just regulars from 4chan. So both.

>>383157216
I told my aunt to watch it because she's been into Netflix lately.

She doesn't know what she's in for.

>>383157827

There's old news, back when it was in dev hell that Ellis thought having a pirate around is stupid and wasn't going to be included. The rest is inferential:

1. He hasn't been confirmed.
2. Trevor wields knives and it makes no sense to have two knife guys.

I think it's lame, as if the pirate angle is too much, then just make him a brigand. Grant is a cool acrobatic guy who can cling to walls.

>>383150221
Depends on how you wanna take Iga's stance on things, since Leon was also a part of the Crusades from what I recall, and fought in God's name, which would have them doing it proper back in LoI, which was like 300ish years before CV3.

CV3 had them banished to another land with only Trevor being around from what I recall, and seeing as he had the whip, it would make sense that he would likely keep up faith and traditions due to it having lots of requirements involved for that sacred power to shine, based on PoR and Aria backstory.

>>383157548
Very tiny % of people wanting to archive it in case they remove it later, since I've considered that, though I'm neither of those and can pay the $10 a month for a Netflix account and already enjoyed the show earlier at like 4 AM today on a binge.

>>383158187
I don't think anyone knew what we were in for going into this, especially once Trevor took the church dude's eye out.

>>383153649
>>383153868
>I thought it was inherent to digipaint, but nope, it's just how the Japanese use digipaint. Color wise this looks a lot like anime pre-2001.
You're spot on about the colour there. Such a pain because I love the look those old painted cels gave and you can tell immediately around that time when jumping between shows that wen to digital.

I don't know shit about castlevania and this show really makes me want to make sure I never play it.

>>383158712
It's ok to be gay anon

Trevor had no real character to begin with

>>383150221
>I could be very wrong but, wasn't the Belmonts in the CV3 era treated as a cursed family and held in contempt? Didn't the holy warrior thing started proper in CV3?

I'm a little loose on the lore as I've played them but never got deep into the manual storylines. But yes, the Belmonts of Trevor's era are scorned and Trevor saving the land is what redeemed the family.

But here's my proofs:

1. Trevor starts his quest by praying at a Church.
2. He literally beats monsters with a cross and holy water.

So far Anime-Trevor seems a-religious, anti-clerical, and the series really hammers how awful Catholics are, and seems to delight in the Bishop getting his comeuppance. I can see Ellis saying "Ha! Take that Bishop" as he wrote it. All this isn't part of 3 at all. I really can't picture Trevor belmont fighting or killing Priests of all things. So this sub-plot feels uneeded to Castlevania.
