I just finished watching Netflix's Castlevania. It was fucking amazing.

I loved the visuals and Dracula's backstory. imo anti-clericalism was too on-the-nose, and would have preferred to have more positive portrayal of religious folk alongside the corrupt priests

Before muh not cartoons, the show was produced in English in the US by Americans. I remember watching a video on Youtube how the one of the showrunners wanted to bring in the kind of hard animation that Japan makes into the US, and I think that's a good thing. I'm sick of most adult animation in the US being comedies.
