FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I was pleasantly surprised. It takes its own liberties and falls back on the christian religion is corrupt meme but is grounded enough in Castlevania lore.

I guess that's fair, but I think the series was stronger because of it, as it made everything not so black and white.

>>383130103
why did the archbishop had pointed fingernails at the beginning? I think it's gonna be reveiled that a demon was possessing the church head in Walacchia

>>383130103
>dub
That's not how it works.

>>383130521
Cause he was on old ass bitch who laid in bed all day. The only one that seemed to be caring for him was the bishop and I doubt he cared enough to help him out.
But anyway I think you might be looking a bit too much into it. The archbishop had nothing to do with the corruption of the chruch or at least he hasn't been implied to have.

IT'S OUT?!

>>383130691
The whole church wasn't corrupted. There was still that one priest making holy water by the bucketfull helping take on demons.

>>383130771
True. I'm more so saying that it doesn't seem like the Archbishop is a demon simply because he had long fingernails. Maybe a overlooked/confusing design choice

>>383130103
this isn't a japanese animation, so it's not a dub

>>383130926
>this isn't a japanese animation
to be fair, the vast majority of the animators are Koreans who are specialized in Japanese animation

tho the production is done in the USA so it's really not a dub

It's written by Warren Ellis, who's wrote some amazing comic books.

You're wrong though about Christian religion being corrupt. They even bring this up. That priest made REAL holy water. God gives his blessings to the worthy priests and not the organized religion that commits evil and perpetuates hatred in his name.

>>383143171
The netflix series was based on Castlevania 3 so that's an option.

CV4 , Rondo and DS games might be good games to start too

>>383143171
1 and 3 on the NES help lay the groundwork; bonus points for 3, since that's what the Netflix series is based on.

Symphony of the Night laid the groundwork for the Igavania style, but you can go to most any of the GBA/DS games and get the same experience.

>>383143171
Rondo of blood but I recommend #1 because that's where it all started.

>>383134795
He's probably a Christfag. Catholics especially are taught constantly in church that they are the most persecuted group in the world, the whole world is constantly trying to take down pure Christians you see. It breeds a mindset that anything remotely negative about the Church is a part of society's conceited effort to stomp out Christianity. It creates people unable to understand the kind of nuance in this series.

>>383143171
2 is a guilty pleasure but get one of the patched versions if you ever actually play it.

>>383144081
I identify as Catholic, and I'm not aware of some secular conspiracy that aims to stamp out the church or persecute it. In fact, Pope Francis is one of the most influential and respected people in the world, held up as a moral compass even by non-Catholics.

How does Netflix know there is a demand for another season?

what game is this based on?
what other anime based on games are there? dmc?

>>383144546
They almost assuredly have analytics that track how many people are watching the show.

>>383144627
Please don't ever speak of the DMC anime again, thanks.

>>383144343
>and I'm not aware of some secular conspiracy that aims to stamp out the church or persecute it.
Well good on you you didn't get roped into it but one only needs to turn on Fox News for about 2 seconds to see them pandering to the group I am talking about. There were almost goddamn riots over Starbucks Christmas drinks saying "Happy Holidays". I at no point said it was everyone, I said it is most frequently Catholics and it is. There are tons of other Christian denominations that suffer from the same persecution complex and tons of Christians in them who don't. A lot of it is dependent on whether or not people attend a shitty church.

>>383144627
This show is almost an explicit retelling of Castlevania 3.

Funny you mention Devil May Cry, because it DOES have an anime.

>>383144343
>I identify as Catholic, and I'm not aware of some secular conspiracy that aims to stamp out the church or persecute it.
The fact that you felt the need to respond to him when he never said it was all Catholics makes it pretty hard to believe you don't feel at least a little persecuted. You even felt the need to establish how influential your pope is when no one said otherwise nor even mentioned influence. Honestly your response is hilarious, it's dripping in irony. Guy calls out how insecure Catholics can be and you respond with a super insecure post.

>>383143171
If you care about any sort of chronology, the only really "linked" ones are Castlevania 1 (which was remade as Chronicles, Super IV, and Haunted Castle) to Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest, Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood (remixed as Dracula X) to Symphony of the Night (though Rondo and 3 aren't linked directly to each other), Castlevania The Adventure (remade as Adventure ReBirth) to Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge, Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest to Harmony of Dissonance, Castlevania Bloodlines to Portrait of Ruin, Symphony of the Night to Aria of Sorrow, and Aria of Sorrow to Dawn of Sorrow.
Really, you should just play them by release date, don't bother with the 3D games, skip The Adventure but play Belmont's Revenge, play patched Simon's Quest or use a guide, skip Legends, possibly skip Haunted Castle, possibly skip Dracula X and play Rondo instead, and you're good to go.
The most important ones to be a fan are Castlevania, Simon's Quest, 3, Super, Rondo, and Symphony, those get the most discussion.

>>383146158
Trevor and Alucards first fight has some really "no homo" moments already.

>>383147895
I also didn't mention ones you'll never hear begin talked about such as random ports with unique quirks, I doubt anyone on /v/'s played them. Hell, most likely more than a few haven't played half of the ones I did mention.

>>383141198
The series so far has only covered Castlevania 3, and only the beginning.
With a bit SOTN backstory mixed in for sake of context.

>>383146385
It's a crap game

>>383148174
>With a bit SOTN backstory mixed in for sake of context.
I thought that was a really great idea. Instantly gave Drac enough backstory to get why he's an extra evil vampire.

Hopes for season 2:

Ellis dedicates one of the eight new episodes to retroactively fixing episode 1's problem in that Dracula and Lisa's relationship is extremely glossed over. I would have even liked some kind of montage of the two falling in love, getting married, and having a kid. Lisa just waddles in and then the next scene is her being burned at the stake. I also didn't get a clear read on Dracula's character, and obviously an extended episode 1 would have helped with that.

The church shit is out the window. It was a great way of setting up the series, Dracula's motivations, Lisa's, the speakers', ect. but I got sick of it and just wanted Trevor to go into Dracula's castle already.

Fucking Grant DeNasty. The first four episodes seemed like a perfect time to introduce him as working as a town guard. His personality would have also made for a good dynamic with Trevor. It's gonna be weird for him to just show up out of the blue wandering around Dracula's castle.

Is this shit made by hamburgers? I don't see jap voice on Netflix.

>>383147895
this, although I would argue that you can get away with only playing Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night because a.) Symphony is a direct sequel to Rondo and b.) they're the best examples of their respective gameplay types (linear vs. free-roaming).

>>383148463
Animated by koreans, written by western comic book writer and voiced with the most irish accent you ever heard.
And it is surprisingly good.

Is the series good enough to redeem that Death Note remake?

>>383148592
Just knowing that jap isn't the original voice calms my autism down. Gonna watch it later, thanks.

>>383148683
Actually yeah kinda. I just watched all 4 episodes and the worst part was that there was only 4 episodes.

>>383148683
No, but nothing is.

I hate how Netflix can go from doing amazing things (castlevania, black mirror, little witch academia) to doing some of the worst things of all time (death note, bill nye saves the world, dear white people). It makes me too conflicted.

>>383148806
I mean you have to accept that that's their buisness strategy. They attempt to hit every possible niche because it's low risk for them to compared to traditional networks. They don't have limited space and even failed shows add to the value of a subscription simply by increasing their volume of shows.

>>383148490
I feel Super Castlevania 4 was as good if not better in the linear Castlevania games, even then the uniqueness of its whip system makes it worth playing.

It's got a lot of gimmicky bullshit, and you don't get much out of the fluidity until you realize how rigid it generally is. If there were more games built with this fluidity, it wouldn't be special, and you'd realize pretty hard how they built those games intentionally around the stiffness and it's generally a more exciting experience.
