I'm going to take this moment to point out one of the many detestable things about weebs. This is one of more annoying traits on the seemingly infinite list of annoying traits of the weeb. Something can exist for a long time, totally unchanged and weebs will hate everything about it. But the MOMENT an anime exists about that same thing, they suddenly fall in love with that thing that they hated, but only on the level where they can copy the anime to the T. It doesn't even have to be animated. Someone can draw a series of anime girl doing stupid things and call it [thing] chan and weebs think it's a person that they can marry.

Another example of this would be motorsports. Weebs hate cars and everything about them, but the second Initial D comes around, they suddenly love motorsports, but only if they can use that shitbox of a car and drift around listening to EDM (which they will cancerously refer to as "eurobeat" like in the anime). Motorsports existed forever. Nothing changed about it. They only reason they now suddenly love it is because they can relate it to one single anime.

>>383394612
OP here
Agreed

>>383394612
Initial D existed before the weeb phenomena you fucking retard. It introduced anime to an entire culture of people with no experience with it. Fuck off you retarded child born in the 90's.

>>383394612
In pretty fucking sure Eurobeat is older than EDM.
Besides, weeb don't care about motorsports. They only care about making an epic drifto meme webm.

>>383394813
>It introduced anime to an entire culture of people with no experience with it.
This would be the crux of the issue, you lobotomized chimp. The weebs still don't give a damn about anything that's not in the anime though. Their infatuation never bothers to seek an interest in anything included in the anime. What kind raw sewage people need anime to tell them what to like?

You might get some angry responses, but you're right, even they can see that.

>>383395394
>In pretty fucking sure Eurobeat is older than EDM.
Nah, EDM existed in Germany since the 80's.

I'm watching the first episode. Dracula did nothing wrong. Religious idiots ruined everything. Dracula was right about humanity.

>>383394612
Wait so do weebs love Castlevania now?

>>383393243
specifics about adherence to the tone and narrative of the source material are inconsequential in the face of the show just being really, really fucking boring.

>>383394612

What does this copypasta have to do with castlevania

The show was legitimately bad

>>383393243
It was pretty damn good as far as adaptations go, genuinely impressed, no memes.

>>383397502
I wouldn't strongly recommend it that's for sure
but it wasn't nearly as bad as you think it is I just wish there was more fighting and less talking

Trevor should have been younger since he's merely 19 in Castlevania III but they turned him in Grizzled McGruff because of the autistic obsession with thirty something male leads in the west.

Sypha should have kept passing herself off as a man until the end

Alucard basically looks like his SoTN persona even though his entire appearance was completely different in the 1400s

Ellis must be a fedora because most of the show goes on and on about MUH EVIL AND INTOLERANT CHURCH when the Church in the series does very little aside from dispatching agents to fight demons.

>>383393243

I can't think of a better Vidya adaptation, period.

>>383397838
> more fighting/ less talking
it's a new age bruv
anime these days are geared towards wimin TOO meaning lots and lots of DIALOGUE
more DIALOGUE than you can handle!
whole animes FULL of DIALOGUE

>>383398107
Earthworm Jim

You probably weren't born when it aired though

>>383397815
No memes but I found Trevor to be overly snarky. Maybe it's the usual tone of Castlevania, I don't know.
Dracula did nothing wrong.

Anime was always full of dialogue you underaged faggot. The cornerstone of fucking nip animation is lots of talking with small bursts of action. You retards have probably done nothing but consume toonami and adult swim for fucking years and thought all anime was like that. I've been watching anime since 92 and I can assure it's not much different now then it was then aside from more emphasis on slice of life

>>383396698

Why are people talking about anime and dubs when it's a fucking western animation?

The gf and I enjoyed it. I wish Grant made an appearance, though. Maybe in season 2.

>>383398581
wow does your family know that you are illiterate?

>>383398479
now youre just being contrarian for no good reason

last anime i watched was The Irregular at Magic High School
holy shit they would not shut the fuck up which is too bad because most of the premise is interesting enough to me
before that i finally got around to finishing birdy decode 2 - that had a good balance between dialogue and silent, meaningful actions but that came out almost 10 years ago!

im sorry you cant see modern anime for what it is but that's just the way it is nowadays
market forces - wimin have money so why not blend genres? specifically im seeing an explosion of romantic sci fi animes or just romantic (x), which is ok in general but i dont watch anime for fucking lame ass fuck empty and meaningless dialogue - it's the actions of the characters that give the words meaning

>>383399175
im not illiterate dumbass
seems you are though

>>383398581
My point is that it's not a dub, gaylord.

>>383397848
He could be 19.

>>383398303

Born in '88.

But holy fuck, yeah, I forgot that existed entirely. I guess it's a bit different to me though since the games basically played like a 90s cartoon so the adaptation was easy.

Adapting something like Castlevania seems a lot more challenging and they were pretty fucking successful at it. No moving goalposts, you're not wrong, I'm just saying it was a much easier thing to do than what they accomplished with CV.

>>383397848
I think Ellis is an atheist, but when Dracula is summoning an army of demons from hell you do need to explain why exactly God isn't stopping him.

And of course they're going to base the character design for Alucard on his later appearances, just like they did with Trevor.

>>383399312
Anything animated is dubbed regardless of the original language because the characters on screen cannot talk must be dubbed over.

Don't tell me you think a dub means it's changed language do you?

>>383399264
sure about that, friend?

>>383399312
oh is it?
usually when someone uses the green texts they are deriding the subject they are talking about
maybe he just really likes the jap voices?
like for instances i compared the voices of the jap dub of ajin - demi human to the english dub and the jap dub miles better - the english version didnt capture the characters' "isms" well at all and seemed very off - none of them fit the characters at all

The visuals and fight scenes were the only good parts, and the animation wasn't even that great.

Considering the entire season was literally less than two hours, I had hoped they would at least invest enough money in the fight scenes to make them more than 10 frames per second. But they didn't.

>>383399397
Trevor's led a hard lifestyle

>>383397848

Trevor was full Barbarian mode in CV3. What's the issue with Alucard also having his more updated look?

As for the religion thing, here's some pasta I made for another thread:

>It's not anti-religion, it's simply reflecting the very real truth that people in religious authority often abuse that power for their own means and/or consider themselves above sin by virtue of "being closer to God." They will perform horrifying acts and feel fully justified because it's "God's will."

This is a thing that happens and happened a LOT in the time period of the show.

The show ALSO explicitly implies that God is a real being and that there are those who are devout and faithful and can draw upon his power as a result. It's making statements about the ORGANIZATION of religion and the abuses that take place as a result, not about the faith itself.

>>383399614
God empowers people with holy powers so they can fight draculas shit themselves. Or he does when they follow his teachings at least. Like the demon told the bishop his love isnt unconditional.

>>383399657
im the guy he's mad at - i too just assumed he meant dub as in "english dub"
(english) dubs get released pretty quick these days, which helped to influence my assumption

>he thinks the show was originally in Japanese

Castlevania is my favorite series since I played IV as a little kid, but I couldn't even finish the first episode of this. Very dull, cheap looking animation and ugly character designs and worst of all, where is the iconic music? Not an anime fan though, so I guess this isn't for me.

>>383399614
The series has already addressed that evil exists because there has to be balance in Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow. Dracula can do evil because evil is a natural part of the universe. Good exists because something has to fight evil. You can't have one without the other if there is no evil, you can't have a benchmark for what is good, ect. Ellis completely missed this fact

>>383395453
>This would be the crux of the issue, you lobotomized chimp.
The crux of the issue is that a bunch of people who don't give a shit about anime and are into cars enjoy an anime and possible watch other animes?

You're so fucking stupid you couldn't even read what I wrote and respond coherently.

Hmmmm

>>383399985
It's still a dub, just originally in english

>>383400038

It's not just you, it's just a legitimately bad show.

>>383400082
I dont know man, trevor and his buddies are squaring up to drac and there was at least one good priest in that city. Seems pretty good to me.

>>383399985
This is why I hate weebs. Anything that borrows japanese animation aesthetics automatically becomes anime to them.

What's the best Castlevania game to play after watching this series?

I loved Dawn of Sorrow back when it came out so I'm thinking order of Ecllesia but not sure

>>383400370
the game it's based on is Castlevania 3.

>>383400227
Yeah, but going out of one's way to say 'the english dub is amazing' and specify the language, rather than saying the voice acting is amazing screams of yet another weeb who thinks this is an animu from glorious Nippon.

>>383400370
CV3, then maybe sotn because of the lisa scenes

>>383400082

Trevor, Alucard, Sypha and the townspeople ARE the good to balance evil. They're given strength by God (through consecration, holy water, etc.)

The show even paraphrases the, "The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing," line.

Good, as with most media, is far more abstract than evil in how it's represented.

>>383393243
nothing even fucking happens in the 4 episodes that are out, im not sure what everyone is sperging out about. is animation really so boring that this is considered good?

>>383397193
You are missing the years of him being vlad and you forgive him because he found a gf

>>383400292

Whether it's anime or not doesn't mean anything. The show sucks compared to any standard.

>>383400472
I think that's just you and your preconceptions anon. Try not to be so triggered next time you misunderstand what a word means.

>>383398303
Wait, the game came before the show?

>>383397193
>idiots ruined everything
fixed that for you, as episode 4 will clearly state

The Belmont in this show is a straight up Twilight tier Gary Stu. He gets slapped around like a masochist and generally acts like a buffoon but suddenly knows how to kick anything's ass?

P.S. Where's my Castlevania Legacy or whatever Konami? I want to throw money at you so you remember we love these games.

>>383393243

Great except:

1. Trevor. He's anti-clerical, cynical, Ellis style quippy hero. He doesn't seem connected to the game Trevor Belmont, who starts the game by praying at a ruined Church.

2. DUDE THE CHURCH IS EVIL subplot. Goes on forever, (it's at least 25 mintues long), and ends up being mostly irrelevant filler.

3. No Grant. Apparently Ellis thinks Pirates r gay.

>>383400764
He's a jackass that's been cast out because of idiots blaming him for everything. You'd have to be a masochist to keep helping people that hate your guts.

>>383393243
No, it's pretty lame.

>>383394612
What are you even on about.
Castlevania isn't anime but an american cartoon.

>>383400764
He was really drunk in the bar fight anon. You ever watch drunks fight?

>>383400764
It's almost like his family tried from birth to that very thing and he may have admitted he was out of practice a few times

>>383400890
To be fair The belmonts were originally outcasts in the third game.

>>383400890
>DUDE THE CHURCH IS EVIL
someone had to kill Drac's wife. also the church was corrupt as fuck in the middle ages.

Nobody is retarded enough to buy this.

The retards that make this hate ther Truth, and the Church, and religion. They hate anything that goes against their hedonism and nihilism.

Like you, they know absolutely nothing about Christianity, nor the Church, nor faith, nor God. Yet you talk about it, because the world teaches you that the more retarded you are regarding one topic, the more retarded you should be about it.

The show is directed by a fedora who made a movie called "For the Bible says so", which is a retarded apology of sodomy in which the evil Christians who oppose it are bigots who just "interpret" the Bible in a bigoted way.

The writer, of course, is another pseudo-intellectual fedora who tries to be DEEP.

>>383401215
The church did kill his wife in symphony of the night didnt they?

Too short to really be kino, but the groundwork was pretty damn good. Hopefully the second season comes out quick, there's nothing else good on Netflix these days.

>>383401334
Killing vampires doesnt make you immune to becoming drunk as shit.

>>383401215
>someone had to kill Drac's wife
And the church is the one who did it in SOTN. It's like people forget the monks in the crowd during Alucard's nightmare.

I don't know why people get so upset about this. It feels like I've been warped back to the '60s when people still gave a damn about how the church was portrayed in media.

Someone post the webm of Alucard vs Trevor

>>383400890
He was just anti-idiot. Remember when he called out for a Priest and mentioned needing one "actually ordained by God." Trev had no beef with God just the Church

>>383401329
No, she was killed by the townspeople, not the church

>>383401329
>The church did kill his wife in symphony of the night didnt they?

We don't know who ordered her burned in the flashback. It could have been a lynching. There's a preist there though.

>>383401282
But a demon straight out says that god exists and that he helps people. Trevor has a consecrated whip and a priest makes holy water that fucks up demons.

Monks were always present during an execution you idiot but that doesn't mean Lisa's execution was officially sought out and sanctioned by the Church. In the game, you can clearly see it's the TOWNSPEOPLE who had her executed

>>383401696
Makes you significantly worse at it though.

The whip isn't consecrated, it's enchanted with the soul of a vampire.

Tat is not alucard.

It's pretty cheesy and formulaic. Like an edgy version of your average saturday morning cartoons from the 90's. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. I hope they ramp it up next season.

>>383401812
lol. to have anyone burned at the stake you needed the approval from the church dumbass. it's not america and the salem witch trials.

Lisa's execution and lynching would've only been brought on if she was accused of being a witch. It was both the townspeople and the church responsible for her death, which is also Dracula's point. The townspeople had a choice to stand up and not allow someone to be burned at the stake, but they chose to let her die.

>>383401282

Trevor wasn't around when the whip was first made or enchanted. The game canon is that the Vampire Killer is enchanted with the soul of a vampire, specifically the soul of Leon Belmont's, the first wielder of the whip, fiance

>>383402452
I dont see any part of the show that portrays god as some sort of new age hippy. He helps people who behave accordingly and leaves people who dont to be eaten by demons. And as far as I can tell behaving according amounts to not burning women at the stake because she has a bunch of science shit in her house and not hiring thugs to act as your enforcers and dressing them up as priests.

>>383401282

So, are you not going to actually respond to the rest of my post? Why stop at the first line.

The show OBJECTIVELY shows that God is real and helps people of faith.

>>383402502
Have you played Lament of Innocence? The whip isn't consecrated, it's enchanted with the soul of a vampire

>>383402860
>>383402673

Y'all niggas realize that shows rarely go along with video game lore, correct?

>>383402860

We're obviously talking about the show, where this whole God context matters.

The games rarely take on the issue of God and religion other than passing swipes at peoples' misplaced faith.

>>383402673
How does that work? I thought Dracula was the first vampire.

>>383402546
There's another priest standing literally right behind Alucard, with his left hand raised holding what looks like a cross, as if protecting himself from a witch.

Neo/v/ and Neo/pol/ are just retarded.

>>383401814

Especially for Netflix's Trevor Belmont, who is a complete dumbass.

>>383403065
Seems like there were others before him but drac is the strongest because he literally controls death.

>>383402972
>>383402860
>>383402502

As an aside, it hadn't been EXPLICITLY stated that this whip is Vampire Killer, I don't think. I'm 99% sure it is but there is a chance that it's another whip he's had consecrated and the whole enchantment thing comes later, either with this whip or when he finds the actual family whip later.

In any case, in the show it's consecrated.

>>383402851
Again, fedoras don't care about people believing God is real, as long as they are just silly idiots who don't get in the way of hedonism, nor listen to the EEEEVIL Church.

You can't imagine how many jews and atheists I have seen telling me "what the Bible says", "what true Christianity is" or how I'm not a good christian if I'm not a sodomy apologist.

Anyone who has any idea about what is going in in the current world, knows that the primary target of every single modernist, degenerate, liberal and hedonist is the Church. Once you remove the authority of the Church and dismiss it as some evil corrupt, organization, then you can turn Christianity in whatever you want, because anything goes, since there is no authority.

>>383402452
>being christian
literally brainlet.
if you are gullible enough to fall for the abrahamic religions meme at least fall for the og one and not literally religion 2:electric boogaloo

>>383403124
In what way?

>>383401282
Motherfucker, the demons who killed the insane bishop basically said that he had more in common with them than with God. He straight up burned an innocent woman. I agree that the series is critical of religion, but it is so in the sense that religious organizations are just as susceptible to corruption and tyranny as any other power structure. Other than the bishop and his thugs, the archbishop's only apparent crime was being fat, while that one priest in ep 4 was an actual holy man who could make holy water.

>>383403124
I dunno, he was actually pretty capable as a leader for the townspeople to kill the demons.

>>383402860
Sacrifice is the ultimate for of love as shown by Jesus Christ, the sacrifice of Leon's wife was a catalyst for God's power.

>>383403207
But there is a christian priest who is directly shown to be using the powers of god to fight demons. He needed to be ordained and everything to do it.

>>383399657
Hahahahahaha

You do know that character lines are all recorded before animation? You do know how needlessly impossible it would be for the voice actors to have to deliver their lines with perfect timing over scenes that were already animated, right?

I'm going to take this moment to point out one of the many detestable things about normies. This is one of more annoying traits on the seemingly infinite list of annoying traits of the normies. Something can exist for a long time, totally unchanged and normies will hate everything about it. But the MOMENT an movie exists about that same thing, they suddenly fall in love with that thing that they hated, but only on the level where they can copy the movie to the T. It doesn't even have to be filmed. Someone can draw a series of hollywood stars doing stupid things and call it [thing] kino and normies think it's a person that they can marry.

Another example of this would be motorsports. Normies hate cars and everything about them, but the second 2fast2furious comes around, they suddenly love motorsports, but only if they can use that shitbox of a car and drift around listening to rap (which they will cancerously refer to as "gansta rap" like in the movie). Motorsports existed forever. Nothing changed about it. They only reason they now suddenly love it is because they can relate it to one single movie.

False, not all demons are fallen angels, furthermore not all angels are equally strong. An archangel a seraph or a cherub can easily massacre thousands of low-ranking angels

It's fucking awesome, ignore the pessimists. Can't wait for Season2, they got the whole party now.

>>383403207

Can't tell if serious.

I mean, if someone tells you, "This is what the Bible says," unless they're objectively wrong, what is your criticism? The Bible excuses a lot of things we would find morally reprehensible in modern society and gives rules for living we now find antiquated (mixed fabrics, not eating shellfish, etc.)

That aside, the Church's "authority" (which Church, by the way?) Is absolutely unnecessary now. A secular point of view and moral system is superior in nearly every way to one based in superstition and myth.

Don't get me wrong, practice what you want and believe what you believe but the Church has no place in any position of power or authority.

imagine that someone unironically typed this shit out but great pasta that's for sure

Too much prattling about how religion is oh so corrupt. Not enough adventuring/monster slaying as I wanted since that what Castlevania is supposed to fucking be.

Okay, so we know that season 2 will be eight episodes long. But I have a question, how will they possibly pad the story of castlevania 3 to eight episodes. The first four episodes were barely even in the original game. Obviously, we'll have an episode featuring Grant. I'm guessing that will be the second or third episode, and will be about how the trio arrives at the clocktower, where Grant is a monster, and the trio manages to break Dracula's curse and recruit Grant. But other than that, I can't really think of any other interesting episodes. We're gonna get a bunch of walking through corridors and boss fights.

I thought the game never made it explicitly clear whether Trevor was a teenager or an adult. It's quite vague, but I assume that most thought of them as adults. Remember that in the back in the day, most badasses in fiction tended to be adults or young adults.

>>383404576

>>383405104
The CV timeline places Trevor in his late teens in CV III and his early twenties in Curse of Darkness. Most fiction has always involved adult characters and it still does. Most of the complaints I see about "teen" protagonists is hilarious to me and I have to wonder what those people consume on average because most fiction that isn't aimed at children or teens have adult protagonists. Not to mention that in a period before the mid 20th century, you were practically considered an adult by the age of 12 and should be married with children by 16

I really enjoyed it, but it's hardly a "season." They did they same shit with some generic anime, 7 deadly sins I think it's called. Season 2 was 4 episodes long. It's pretty disappointing going into Castlevania thinking it's a full season, liking it a lot, and having it be short as fuck.

Such a damn shame because both movies barely scratched the surface of the source material novels. Shit, good chunk of them is even translated.

>>383405646

Seven Deadly Sins was way worse. The second "season" doesn't proper the plot AT ALL. It takes place between the last fight and the last scene in the first season and is literally just them wandering around town during that time.

It was pointless.

>>383405808
It's pretty mediocre, the positive reception is only because people expected trash. It's worth watching as a curiosity, but if you don't really care then I wouldn't recommend it.

>>383405646
you might have heard this already, but they wanted to split it into 3 OVA's worth of episodes way back when this idea first came up, they are likely sticking with that idea

>>383405749

Earthworm Jim is not an adaption. The whole thing was a cross media stunt by Playmates to sell toys. The show and games were always intended to be a thing, and the two are very loosely connected anyways. Hardly a decent "adaption".

I think the first movie went for something completely different and is a hack and slash affair. Bloodlust actually has a competent albeit cliched storytelling going on.

>>383397848
Everything about this post is fucking garbage.

>Trevor's age
It's not even mentioned and he doesn't necessarily look any older than say, DXC Richter.

>Sypha's disguise
Yeah, let's give one of the main characters a non-speaking role even though it makes no sense when she's around allies. Besides, judging from how Trevor and Syfa immediately snuggle up in the CV3 ending you can infer that her gender was always known to the group. It was just not immediately known to the player since that was a cute thing to do at the time (Metroid).

>Alucard
It's his most iconic design and it's not like it doesn't make sense. He has his mom's hair. OG CV3 Alucard isn't very distinguishable from Dracula.

>evil church
The Belmonts being excommunicated was an actual thing in the backstory setting up CV3. Lisa getting burned to the stake was an actual thing in SotN. This shit begs to be worked with if you're telling an actual narrative for the beginning of the series. Besides, the show makes it clear that the priest is deluded and has been abandoned by god. In the games the Belmonts are welcomed back into the church proper following CV3, and that will likely happen here as well.

>>383404419
This and the final fight were very visually pleasing on acid but the story is fucking garbage.

My friend and I couldn't stop laughing at the part were the town turns on the priest after listening to a "passer by, exiled, drunk" who has no knowledge of the town, its problem, and its politics.

They literally just listen to this guy on the street they just met because he shifted the blame onto someone else.

>Trevor's face
>Trevor: I really wish I was doing something else right now.

>>383393243
I've only finished episode 2, so maybe Trevor changes, but his character is pretty fucking cringey. I understand his family name has gotten fucked over pretty bad, but I really hope he has that moment where he really comes into the Belmont name. I know Trevor's personality albeit barely existent in SOTN was kind of boring, and righteous. But, i don't really have a problem with that.

Having Trevor with this almost dick ass thief, dog eat dog world attitude is just really nauseating.. So I really hope he has some sort of character moment where he changes. Because as of now he's a fucking cringefest.

Dracula was pretty good, and the other character's that have been introduced seem to be okay, to good tier as far as they go. The violence rides that fine line pretty well between distasteful, and warranted. But, that's just me.

Overall 6.5/10 so far.

I can't dumb myself down enough to enjoy this. Maybe, I've become old and jaded, but this felt like it was written either by high school kids or people with no grasp of what subdued storytelling is.

it's setting up the story to CV3 and they're doing a good job of introducing Trevor,one of the better Belmonts.

I only say better Belmonts because he was a protagonist in one of the absolute best games in the series

So looking at previous interviews with Ellis, it seems like season 2 will be an even larger deviation from the source material. Kinda expected this since, you know, you can't really do eight episodes of walking through a castle and defeating universal pictures stock horror monsters.

ADVENTURE show. Ep 1 is Dracula backstory as seen. Ep 2 is Trevor kneeling at a church, setting off through the ruined country side on his quest. He meets characters from the show on his JOURNEY (so far he's not journeyed, he just went to the town over) building his band. You can easily get 4 eps out of this.

>>383407701

Trevor is wandering and goalless for most of this. He doesn't care about Dracula at first. Then he sorta, for no real reason, decides its his destiny to fight Dracula.

With as sub-par as the writing is, and the at-least somewhat decent violence it might actually be an improvement. Just drop the shitty, "witty" one liners, and serve up some whippings.

By impaling her all night long

I like it quite a lot.

The best part for me is the food. In the game he constantly looks for food. Even in walls. They even adapted that. Funny twist on the medpacks.

It's really dumb to expect it to happen if it hasn't yet. If it does, cool, nice surprise. Keep your expectations in check.

Dracula was in the wrong

>>383408256
Drac wasn't actively evil at the start. He was a misanthropic recluse bored with the outside world, who apparently impaled people who insisted on bothering him in the middle of the wasteland he parked his castle in. If anything, Lisa gave him a shot at redemption by reminding him what love was like.

>>383409465
It's not Norio Wakamoto.

That's not necessarily correct. They normally don't enter churches and holy places because in their weakened state they would get BTFO. But strong demons could enter almost anywhere, though it would weaken them.

In the same way, holding a cross against them will work for those who truly have faith. If you're a fedora tipper who just started to believe you're still getting shanked.

All of them except for the first N64 Castlevania, the PS2 games, Castlevania The Adventure, Legends, Judgement, the shitty cellphone game, and maybe Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2. Those last two depend on how much you like Lords of Shadow.

And don't bother with Castlevania 2 unless you have a a guide. I mean it.

You don't know why he killed those people but the stories of Dracula are well known so he is still very much evil.

>Lament Of Innocence

How does Castlevania have such cool titles?

>>383410086
>the ps2 games
fuck you m8, i never saw the hate for those games.
they were solid games with great music.

>>383408174

>No reason

Yeah, it's not like he spent the show hanging around a bunch of do gooders who refused to run away despite their persecution from the church. That sort of thing would in no way inspire him to change his outlook considering the same thing was done to him.

>>383410401
Same, Lament of Innocence is a must play if you want to know the origin story of the series too.

>>383410086
N64 Castlevania is aesthetic tho

>Aria of Victory
>Lords of Shadow before any of the other games
I don't know where you came from but go back there.

>>383409593
The Bishop was bad but the townspeople just let it happen and didn't ask questions. They were kinda equally guilty out of ignorance.

>>383410393
Because they're based on creations of music

>>383410206
Which was demonstrably untrue from the jump since literally the first person Drac sees after looking at the ruins of Lisa's home was an old woman grieving her and criticizing the local church's decision.

Drac's reaction was the equivalent of knocking your computer over after reading a shitpost, just on a much much grander scale.

>>383409998

Before Lisa:

>I guess humanity is garbage.

After Lisa:

>Well, I guess they're not all bad. Maybe I'll even help them out a bit.

After Lisa's death:

>Nope. Fuck that. I was right the first time. They're all gonna burn.

>>383410393

>>383410501
My only bug about the Lament of Innocence is that Lion is dressed like he's from the 18th century and not wearing suit and chain which would be appropriate for a knight of the middle ages. It was also a missed opportunity to involve the crusades because that's most likely the war Leon was involved with at the time before renouncing his title

>>383410401
The areas are mostly just these flat self-contained arenas. Not what I want to see from this series at all.

>>383410715

Dracula and Lisa's story should have lasted way longer

I can't wait for his return in season 2

Which version of Castlevania 3 is recommended?

I heard the Japanese version has the best music

>>383410504
The first N64 game is largely an inferior version of Legacy of Darkness, which is why I don't recommend it. I love Legacy of Darkness.

>>383409998
To be fair, he only took out that one town, he just used a much larger force than necessary and it's bleeding out into the surrounding country. To him, a being as powerful as he is, this concerns him very little:

I don't remember ALL of the games. I played a 3D vania on the OG Xbox back in 2003 but it was a really poor man's Ninja Gaiden and DMC. It was slower than fucking Otogi.

Dawn of Sorrow is one of my favorites btw.

>>383410806

Because everything between them happens off screen, I wasn't able to feel anything for Dracula.

>>383410935

Western version did not include the special soundchip for the music, so it's a little less complex. Still okay. Also they ramped up the difficulty a lot. they gimped Grant to only wield a knife as a weapon (not throwing).

JP version has a special soundchip, and Grant is OP. He has infinite zero cost throwing knives, which combined with his clinging powers breaks the game. Once you get him it's a cakewalk.

>>383410757
I'm saying that generalizing like that is inherently shitty thinking since individuals matter.

Good god, the show purposefully makes Dracula a tragic character but also purposefully shows that he is way in the wrong. How stupid are you people.

castlevania is what would have happened if jojo part 1 never ended

>>383410605

This. Dracula's only mistake was giving Wallachia a chance to prove they weren't a bunch of faggots.

He even - out of respect for Lisa's memory - gave them a year to thoroughly kiss their asses goodbye or GTFO. Their response? They celebrate burning his wife with a fucking carnival.
