To be fair, they're technically right. It has an anime style, but it's not true anime because it wasn't produced in Japan by a Japanese studio. It's "anime" in the same vein as Avatar or Voltron Legendary Defender.

Thunderbolt Fantasy was well recieved on /a/. And rightfully so, it's a great show.

Just because the source material is videogames doesn't make this series vidya so discussing it doesn't belong here

Its not good. The gore is alright but everything else about it is lack luster and half assed.

If only one connection is that is needed then Castlevania should be discussed on /a/ as well. The connection being the anime aestetics.

>>383635409
Thunderbolt fantasy and most non-Japanese east asian animation are in a weird gray area
In theory they should be discussed on /co/ but there's more interest overlap in /a/ so all the discussion occurs there

This and please, more than four episodes for the season 2!

>>383635693

>>383635471
Wasn't impressed with the animation too much until the action scenes. Seems they dumped all their budget into them.

Overall, I liked it though. Not afraid to show babies getting eaten as Drac' has his demons swarming over the country

>>383635774
Already confirmed for eight episodes, will probably finish the CV3 storyline and set up whatever they do next.

>>383635786
The artist made one too few exchange of blows so the ones that were made just had to be slowed down.

>>383635516
oldfag /co/mrade here, and I honestly have no fucking clue why they're getting so pissy about Ellis, I thought he did a decent job.

I've never read a Warren Ellis comic that I did not enjoy in one way or another, and I know most of /co/ felt the same way at a certain point.

But I guess this current wave on /co/ are the kind fucks that put the orange clown in the in charge of the US, so being mad at Ellis wouldn't be beyond them.

>>383635516

Warren Ellis. He's a pretty prolific comic writer who is (or was) regarded as being pretty good. His best known work is probably Transmetropolitan, a cyberpunk comic about a Hunter S. Thompson-like gonzo journalist.

>>383634658
To be fair Ellis had a really weird setup for the show. Castlevania didn't really have that many evil churches in the games.
Show was still great though, 9/10 for me.

>>383635693
Urobuchi was directly involved in the production though
Castlevania is purely Korean/American produced, the only thing Japanese about it is the IP
If that's enough to make it /a/ then Sonic Boom should belong there too

>>383635910
/co/ would rather have discussions about shit like Total Drama Island and My Littlest Petshop than discuss anything good. Keep in mind that board also hated Shin Godzilla; they have really bizarre taste.

>>383635963
Wasn't Shaft an evil priest? Evil cults have featured in at least three games. Heck, OoE had a corrupt priest as the main bad guy. Also the plot of CV3 was that the church was reluctant to get Trevor's help because they feared his power. Not that much of a stretch.

>>383635976
Speaking of it being Korean, isn't the Korean word for cartoons "Anime" as well?

Wrong. There's nothing in the word "anime" that implies the actual practical source of origin. It implies a loosely defined set of aesthetic traits and this one arguably goes for them.
>what's going on
Neo-imageboard culture. The internet became mainstream. It's cool to be whiny asshole nowadays as long as you can stutter something about political correctness and dealing with "it".

The show's okay. It won't stun anybody but it's not garbage.

Castlevania 1, 3, Super CV4 and Rondo are all good platformers to check out.

Symphony of the Night, Order of Ecclesia, Portrait of Ruin (you should consider playing Bloodlines first) and Aria/Dawn of Sorrow are all good metroidvanias.

Mind you there are other titles I like as well, such as COTM, Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness, but those have some issues with bland level design.

Barlowe wasn't really a preist. His plan from the very beginning was to revive Dracula, he was always a batshit cultist. But yeah, you got me on Shaft, haven't played SOTN in awhile and people HAVE been saying the corrupt preist resembles Shaft. So who knows maybe there is a reason.

>>383634658
What did that bishop do to incur the wrath of a bunch of demons in the first place? Also if god exists in that universe why does he allow the demons to exist if he doesn't love them? This is fucking retarded.

Bad news, CV has pretty much always been fujo-dominated in Japan. Expect TrevorxAlucard if anything.

So how come Trevor isn't called Ralph in the Japanese version?

>>383636321
It's still possible to have that if the OP is good at wording stuff and not making it look like bait. Or even disguising it as somewhat related and having quite a bit of fair discussion on a bigger front.

I've noticed this a couple of times. The only times I've been able to discuss EVA without boogymanning and memes is when the thread is low-key dying slowly or when the OP is vaguely related.
I had some decent FLCL discussion with some anons about themes and music in a thread asking what songs we'd like to see in the new seasons and that thread lasted for two days.

>>383636561
Sure it has some style of anime, but it's still considered western animation. The show isn't allowed on /a/

>>383636561
I'd still consider Wakfu a western cartoon. I mean, Batman TAS had several episodes animated by Sunrise but you wouldn't really call it anime would you?

>>383635409
/a/ doesnt seem to outright hate pseudo anime stuff, they simply try to follow the rules in a autistic way.

>>383636712
He killed a woman who wanted to help people with medicine and lied about the justifications for doing so, saying she was a witch.

>>383636925
Sadly Symphony is in a weird window'd mode in this version and they changed the voice acting (its still fine, but not as cheesy bad).

Fucking loved Dracula X Chronicles though, Kojima is a brilliant artist. Wish more people here had actually bought the damn thing.

>>383636837
It also gets worse because they celebrate they day they did it to her. And the fucking bishop then deludes himself into believing it happened not because of him, but because people weren't pious enough. No one did anything to stop it either.

You can't help but side with Dracula when people are this really fucking retarded. Guy who hates humans, leaves them alone, and then learns to love one has her ripped away from him for doing the right thing. It's all sorts of fucked.

That's the best part about this adaptation's characters, though. All four of our main charcters are despised, distrusted and hated for their birth. It's how they choose to deal with their situations that makes them heroes or villains. In Dracula's case, he allowed Lisa's death to validate his worldview, and then by his actions he validated the public's fear and hatred of both Dracula and Lisa herself.

>>383636712
Abuse of power including but not limited to burning innocents at the stake and strong arming the city through hired thugs in violence, throw in some pride and delusions and grandeur and you have someone that's strayed from the true path of God while also leading others astray

>Actually, I’m not a gamer! And the awful truth is that I’ve never played or even seen the game. Terrible, isn’t it? When I was first contacted about Castlevania, some 10 years ago, I went to the internet to look it up, and what immediately struck me was how it initially appeared, to me, at least, to be a Japanese transposition of the Hammer Horror films I grew up with and loved. I’m sure that’s a completely wrong-headed perception, by the way, but that’s how it hit me, and how I realized I could write a medieval horror fiction while obeying the ground rules of the work being adapted.

why didn't he just write it like a Hammer movie in that case

>>383637486
That's why it's amazing.
I don't even think the 'What is a man' speech would be nearly as cool if it was even done by a hollywood voice.

Though to be honest I've always wanted to see that scene done in a high-budget cast becuase it has potential to be pretty poetic if expanded upon and done correctly.

To be fair, yeah the "muh religion" complaints are annoying, but the first two episodes were not very good at all. The last two episodes picked up, and it finally found its footing.

Also, the "muh religion" are especially annoying since the series shows that a God exists in this show's universe, and that a holy man can actually make holy water that works against demons. It's explicitly pointed out that the religious figures of the church shown so far have fallen out of grace and are pushing personal agendas instead of leading people towards God.

Makes sense.

My biggest complaint was how it feels so arbitrarily cut short. Episode 2 was pretty weak but it had some good pacing going for it and the episodes played out like there's like 8 to 12 episodes. But then it just ends.

Silver lining to it all, it atleast ended with a sweet fucking homage to the games with Alucards teleporting.

>The tipping of the trilby intensifies

>>383636276
Depends on what style of game you like more. The original games (and Castlevania 3, which this series is mostly based on) are classic platformers, while Symphony of the Night is more in the vain of exploration platformer with RPG elements. Castlevania 2 was "weird" in that it's sort of a mix between the two (despite being before SotN's time).

I'd say Castlevania 3 if you want a classic platforming game, and Symphony of the Night if otherwise (where most of Alucard's and his mother Lisa's backstory comes from as shown in the Netflix series).

>>383638695

>>383638927

>>383638952
Speaking of cursing, I've heard there's a good bit of it in this.

>>383639065
There's a scene in a pub that goes on way too long but otherwise its just Trevor being a bitter guy complaining about his shit luck. Its not really grating at all aside from the pub part.

>>383635963
I imagine Ellis wanted to have a more dramatic arc for Trevor, since the Belmont's being exiled by the Church is canon in Castlevania 3. Except in the game, the pope finally realizes they need them because Dracula is fucking shit up, and calls for Trevor Belmont to help them.

I'm fine with narrative changes, but they better not drop Grant Danasty.

>>383639065
A little bit, characters throw around shit and fuck a lot. It does get made the butt of one joke though. There's also a bit about goat fucking that just goes around for a bit too long.

8fps is normal in some circles of animation, we can't treat it like video games. This show clearly uses limited animation, where strong keyframes take precedence over in-betweens, a technique developed under the strain of low budget and quick turnarounds. It's more of a Japanese technique but most modern web animators are influenced by anime, and Spencer Wan has that style. Even though it's low frame, you can tell that it's a skilled animator behind them, and that's pleasing in and of itself.

No? The Korean term for cartoon is Manhwa.

The beginning was weird to me. I thought Dracula and Death were boyfriends?

I mean shit, in Portrait of Ruin Death was on Dracula's vampiric phallus 24 fucking 7. And all that "don't upset my master" shit in SOTN dropped some pretty obvious hints as to what was going on behind the coffin.

>without even researching the story properly
Not sure what you're talking about? It's very much in line with Castlevania (the old lore, not the Lords of Shadow stuff), with the exception of changing how the pope finally giving in and calling for Trevor Belmont to help the people. It's canon that the Belmonts were exiled by the Church in Castlevania 3 (it takes place long before Castlevania 1 and 2, when Simon is working alongside the Church).

Trevor is given a personality which might turn some people off, but he finally mans up by the 3rd and 4th episode and becomes more of the Belmont vampire hunter we expect. To be fair, he had no personality in Castlevania 3, and the only personality he was ever given in a game is in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (and if you saw him in that game, you'd be glad they changed it; it was stupid). They DID keep the eye scar as he had in Curse of Darkness, though.

It's pretty obvious a bit of research went into the Netflix series.

>>383640858
Wasn't crimson a bunch of monster and there was another for Death?

In any case, by the later (in the timeline) games rac doesn't rely on anything to get Death help. Probably immortal buddies, they both doN,t go out much

Oi lads! I just saw someone enter that healer-woman's cottage. He was dressed in dark, tall as a bloody giant, and I could swear his ears were long and sharp as knives! Solely out of worry for my neighbour, I spied at them through the window, and the tall feller turned into a hideous beast before they fucked for what seemed like an eternity! Now that's copulatin' with the Devil if I ever saw it!

I loved how this fight showed Alucard getting his shit pushed in the entire time Trevor had the Vampire Killer whip, but as soon as Alucard disarmed him and forced him into a swordfight, Trevor became his bitch (and yet STILL managed to hold his own and almost stake him in the end).

Such a good fight.

>>383641042
Crimson got him Death and then the Ebony stone got everything else for him
Walter used the Ebony for his horde of monsters and the infinite night but he searched for the Crimson because it had the true powers of vampires.
Mathis had the Crimson used it to control death and steal Walters soul to become Dracula and get control of Ebony stone as well.

Little bit of both.

The rest of the priests help Trevor out after he calls the thugs and the bishop out.

>>383635471
That's some anime-tier bullshit.

Watching the Netflix series made me remember that one cutscene in Castlevania Symphony of the Night where Alucard dreamed about watching Lisa die. Watching the Netflix series helped me connect the dots on the story, when I played SOTN previously that scene kind of flew over my head.

Here is the cutscene

>>383642486
most never knew about that because 3 never went into detail on why Alucard went against his father, and SotN doesn't talk a whole lot about it outside that scene. The only reason I knew back then was because I spent a good chunk of time as a teenager lurking the Castlevania Dungeon and reading up on all the lore.

>" Salt repels demons and evil things because it is pure in its whiteness, is a perservative, and is linked to life and health. Salt is contrary to the nature of demons, who are intent upon corrupting and destroying. It should be avoided in magical rituals for conjuring demons.
> Salt repels witches and the evil eye. A test for bewitchment is the inability of a person or animal to eat anything salted. Inquisitors in the European witch hunts protected themselves by wearing a sacramental amulet that consisted of salt consecrated on Palm Sunday and blessed herbs, pressed into a disk of blessed wax. One means of torturing accused witches was to force-feed them heavily salted food and deny them water.
> Salt is a magical remedy for evil spells. An old recipe for breaking an evil spell calls for stealing a tile from a witch's roof, sprinkling it with salt and urine, and then heating it over fire while reciting a charm. In American Ozark lore, women who complain of food being too salty are suspected of being witches. One way to detect a witch is to sprinkle salt on her chair. If she is a witch, the salt will melt and cause her dress to stick to the chair.
> In superstition it is considered bad luck to spill, borrow, or run out of salt, perhaps because in times past, salt was a valuable and scarce commodity. Spilling salt make one vulnerable to the Devil; the bad luck may be negated by tossing a pinch of salt with the right hand over the left shoulder.

That could be cool, but it'd work far better if you established the early Belmonts first.

I doubt they'll do more than the C3 story, but if they did, they can work their way up to it (especially since Alucard plays a continuing role through a bunch of it)

If the puppets still bother you a lot after three episodes you should probably drop it. The show halfways sells itself on it's great animations and fightscenes. The first episode has about two if not three times as much fighting as the rest of the show in order to sell it to those on the fence, because they're really that good.

The show is good, albeit a bit shallow. There are some alright twists towards the end but otherwise it plays out just like you'd expect it will. I recommend it, but the only person who actually watched it based on my recommedation dropped it because he couldn't get over the puppets.

Not that guy, but I'd recommend it. In terms of getting used to the puppetry, it's a puppet show. Enjoy the characters and the things they pulled with them if you can.

Half of them are action scrollers, half of them are metroidvanias. The series goes from old Hollywood horror tropes towards weebshit as it progresses. Good music.

>>383643281
I'm pretty sure they only really outsource the inbetweens

>>383644173
I wish more of them struck a better balance between weeb and old horror like Rondo and SotN did.

Its a visual feast that holds up incredibly well despite being a really early digital anime (animated with floppies) but man was the plot and cast garbage.

Only newfags who came after capcha codes dislike this show, as evidenced by their pathetic attempts to shitpost over discussion.

>>383636007
/co/ has become a containment board for shitty cartoon generals, cape film shitposting and webcomics.

Actual comic discussion, or discussion of animated films that aren't Disney, are super rare and half the time lead to shitposting about East vs. West anyway.

You're right about it being a shitty containment board, but not about for what it is. /co/mblr isn't a meme, it's the truth. Most threads devolve into tumblr getting mad about political talk.

Shit was fun to watch quit being little bitches. When's pic related getting it's own show?

>>383644321
Just for everyone else's sake unfamiliar with the series reading this thread:

Lord of Shadow/Mirror of Fate/LoS2 and such are entirely different canon than the classic Castlevania lore. It was an attempted reboot. Any mentions of Trevor, Simon, Sypha, etc in those games do not connect to the older games or what the Netflix series is based off of.

>>383644739
My dream game is a 3d Castlevania thread where you have specific vampires that you have to kill, and have to plan around how to do it.

Imagine having the chance to sneak into their room and stake them before they can get up, or laying down traps.

Honestly, a vampire killing game in general would be rad.

So the dialogue in ep 4 implies that Trevor knows what Castlevania looks like on the inside. What do you think this means? He's been in the castle but doesn't know what Drac looks like, I wonder if a demon fucked him up and gave him that scar.

>>383644856
Last time I browsed /co/ at all was like 2 years ago so I wouldn't be surprised if its gotten even worse.

It used to be my main board back in like 2009, it's tragic what's happened to it.

>Shitpostingfags are now playing to the "IT'S NOT EXACTLY LIKE MUH VIDYAS SO IT'S SHIT!!!" game

The show felt like a game to me, like seriously.
The platforming, the talking with NPCs, the quest.

>>383645024
The volume was all over the place. Some characters were talking way too softly. But the acting itself was mostly fine. Sypha 2cute.

It's real bad. Especially when the comics themselves are political. You'll get a bunch of normal anons having a conversation and then "I WANT /POl/ TO LEAVE" gets shitposted.

Honestly kind of fun, given how shit Marvel is. Current thing is people bitching about the forced diversity in the new Spidey film.

>>383645294
>You'll get a bunch of normal anons having a conversation and then "I WANT /POl/ TO LEAVE" gets shitposted

The show felt like a game to me, too. Unfortunately, that game was DMC

>>383636467
COTM is my favorite. It wasn't my first, but i played it before i played any of the other Metroidvanias so it was the one to introduce to the formula

>>383645053
I thought it was my perception. So really they have lost the touch

I would be super okay if Grant was Trev's fellow demon hunter who got fucked up, since they're both outcasts. The pirate stuff always meshed badly imo.

>>383643718

>I used to fight fucking vampires

When?

>>383645341
It's like /v/, but with a stark divide between tumblr and regular anons.

I'm not even kidding. And they are the dumbest fucks, too. I spent a good hour talking about how blacks are overepresented in marvel properties and adaptions, and all I got back was "WELL AMERICA ISN'T MAJORITY WHITE RACIST"

Fucking nuts.

>>383644695
If you want more of that style, you should probably start with Symphony of the Night. It's closely related to what the show is about, and it's still probably the most enjoyable "Metroidvania" style Castlevania there is (even though I liked the Nintendo DS ones). It takes place roughly 300 years after what the Netflix series is about, and follows Alucard.

Rondo of Blood is another good one, and actually takes place only 4 years before Symphony of the Night (and is VERY closely tied to Symphony of the Night). It plays like the classic side-scrolling platformer Castlevanias.

I'd say those two would be your easiest entry points. Gives you both worlds for Castlevania gameplay style, and are closely related enough to possibly help elevate interest.

My opinion, at least. From there, which ones you might want to play can go towards whichever of the two you liked the most.

>>383645181
>Trevor crawls up a shit pipe and Nathan Drake monologues to himself because the main town entrance was sealed off.
I'm surprised he didn't grind on some rats while he was at it.

>>383643742
Possibly Konami being a fucking bitch and keeping it behind their doors.

Or they're testing the water to see if the adaptation is well recieved

Or its gonna be in Season 2
