90s.

It was a dark time.

Stop.

I generally like Ayami Kojima's art but god damn, her bishounen Simon was atrocious.

I think they hired the Death Note guy as character designer for that other game in order to make Kojima's redesign look less stupid

Why's there like ten Castlevania threads?
Konami finally stopped being shit or something?

>>4107325

Why all the metal or whatever? What was wrong with his IV design?

It's the short tights and boots I dislike. They make him look too homosexual. I'm not comfortable with that.

Holy shit why have I just now realized that it was the death note guy who made this? It always looked so familiar.

>>4107306

>>4107361
the Death Note artist did the designs for Castlevania Judgment. Simon looks just like Light Yagami and Grant looks like Rem.

Wrong. The answer now and forever will always be Julius aka best Belmont.

gotta agree with >>4108610 here, really like the daddy vibes.

Also I'm a sucker for facial hair, none of the bishounen protagonists can provide that.

Maybe they dropped two bombs, a nuke AND that top secret GAY bomb the CIA was working on..

Just took a couple decades to kick in.

>>4107306
A challenge to establish the queerest character between Fagvania, Final Faggotry (known in the west as Faggot Fantasy) and King of Faggoters.

>>4107306
I find it funny that some people say the Japanese people are redpilled and conservative when they come up with the faggiest characters in fiction.

>>4108642
All of Kojima's belmonts are seen as young boys who are 20 at most, Julius can afford to have a manly beard because we've only seen him in his 50s.

>>4107325
What the fuck is this shit? Looks like Justin Bieber went shopping at Hot Topic.

>>4108117
Richter is still best Belmont.

>>4108840
It's funny because japan is still one of the most conservative 1st world countries on the planet, while USA is getting more and more degenerated by the day. Enjoy your race-mixing and the end of genders as we know it, goy.

>>4109102
so did the CIA secretly drop the gay bomb in Europe and USA too?

This opinion doesn't seem to be popular, but I actually like this design. Sure, the barbarian look is fine, but this redesign just clicks for me. Maybe it is because it reminds me of Fuuma Getsu, which is what Kojima was probably going for.

Feels good man. They need to get Araki to design the next Belmont.

Anyone that would call themselves patrician is just a plebeian faggot with an undeserved ego.

Y'all only prefer the 80's generic muscular barbarian hero design because it's older.

Flamboyant personality aside, I never understood the rest of the design. Most of the designs in the show where quite literal interpretations of their sprites, but where the fuck do you get the whole aviator getup thing from in Simon's sprites? Specially the fucking googles.

>>4114848
>>4114974
Why don't people fuck with this design more often? It JUST WORKS

Honestly I think the problem with castlevania is the whip it's self. They are so fixated on giving every goddamn castlevania character a stupid whip that they are holding themselves back. Who the fuck uses a whip?

Bare legs - pants tucked into boots

And just go from there to make something that was visually unique and stood out. NES Belmont is a very vague sprite compared to someone like Megaman or Pit.
