Reminder that even classicvania was anime. Castlevania was always anime.
See: Rondo of Blood.

>>3625396
Because the artist was focusing on another major project.

I agree. Anime isn't the best suited artstyle for Castlevania. Pic-related fits a lot better.

>>3625890

It's only logical that a game set in Europe should have western aesthetics.

And here's the box art for Castlevania 1. Get fucked, retard.

Right, and everytime someone takes a trip to Japan in an American cartoon, they should change the style to anime as well.

this is some bait

>>3626220
If they're going to Japan, it should look like Japan, yes. Anime is inherently western anyway, as it was copied from Betty Boop and Disney.

>>3626218
That's not anime you dingus ,look at that dracula and those muscles, clearly 1950s comics

>>3626454
I know, I was inferring the opposite.

What? How moronic are you? Order of Ecclesia has a distinct artstyle that in no way resembles anime. Just fucking look at it.

Just because something came out of Japan doesn't mean it's anime, you dumbfuck. Same thing applies to the original Castlevania.

Cover of the official guide for the same game. Looks identical to the Dungeons & Dragons or any other 80's cartoon.

>>3625396
Only 3 had anime style though, out of like a shitthousand castlevania games.
Rondo had it, but the cutscenes were so deliciously 90's anime that it gets a free pass.
Portrait had it, but it was fitting since the game was a lot more comedic.
In Dawn it looked retarded and it was a horrible decision.

>Just because something came out of Japan doesn't mean it's anime
Anime literally means Japanese cartoons, it's not an art style.

>>3626756
No, anime is literally short for animation. Anime applies to all animation in Japan.

>>3626912
Yeah, same way people all over the world call capeshit "comics", when it actually refers to all comic books in English.

>why does the artstyle vary between entries on a franchise that's been around for over thirty years

Fuck man it's a mystery.
