About the recent Castlevania series on Netflix, if you don't mind. What did you think about it? Were the jokes too forced?

My main problems with this show are

1) The music is generic Hollywood bullshit. Would fit right in any given horror movie. Where's my memorable video game shit?

2) Monster designs are equally bland and personality-free. It's really annoying because all the character designs are great, so fighting a buncha boring looking winged hellbeasts is lame.

other than that it was pretty neat

It was alright. I liked Trevor, I think he played it with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek. The story, settings, and characters were serviceable, if not much more than that (which is fine considering how much they tried to get done in 4 episodes). The animation and aesthetic were nice. My biggest complaint is with the sound design and soundtrack. It played the same droning, dreary tune with the same dreary, serious levels for the entire 80+ minutes and it only fit for maybe 10% of the action.

I'd like to see a lot more variety in monster design come season two. Think Berserk's Eclipse, but with a few recognizable faces. None of these boring gargoyles. Bluetooth was based though.

Better music. Can't even remember the theme song.

Goes without saying, but more Dracula. I'd kill for a Mr Freeze scene of him staring at some magic pictures of Lisa.

I never played the games, so I don't know who Grant is, but a new teammate would be neat.

I just loved that the people didn't act like complete faggots.

First they'll be talking all quite AND THEN SCREAM TO MAKE AN EMOTIONAL EMPHASIS BECAUSE SCREAMING (with a clenched fist) IS THE ONLY WAY TO CONVEY SERIOUSNESS IN ANIME.

Fuck I hate shit. It's an immediate red flag that the people making it have NO self awareness.

Also Belmont didn't have a 5 minute monologue on the nature of good and evil every time he met an enemy that could talk.

The show is only good because it's bad.

The voice acting, while done by professionals, is poorly directed and it drags down the rest of the show because of it. The animation goes from super detailed to a power point presentation. The sound direction is absolutely atrocious. And if a that want bad enough, is so god damn short.

I have some friends that were really into this show, and i know for a fact they browse Reddit, and they made me sit through it a couple weeks ago. This show is awful and i feel like every one has blinders on making them miss the glaring flaws for the mildly more detailed artwork coming from a "Western" show.

I wasn't a fan of the set-up, but I did really enjoy the last episode. Particularly the Alucard/Belmont fight, that's where it really started to feel like Castlevania to me. The church shenanigans, Dracula's dead wife, Trevor Belmont struggling to give a fuck and pull himself out of the bottle, all of that felt really superfluous. Too much faffing about for a series that only had 4 episodes for its season. But then again maybe it's just me, I like very tight, simple, concise narratives, but that could have been too boring for other folks.

Basic info:

>Season 2 (already confirmed) is 8 episodes
>Those first 12 episodes are a remake of Castlevania III.
>Wallachia is a region (now part of Romania)
>Targoviste and Gresit are cities in Wallachia

anti-christian meme:
>The Belmont clan was founded by Leon Belmont in 1094. The clan's purpose was to protect the people from darkness. However, the church/people feared their supernatural power and exiled them from Wallachia.
>The story of Castlevania III follows Trevor Belmont in 1476. In the game, the church had tried and failed to fight Dracula before asking the Belmont clan for help as a last resort.
>Dracula was originally a human and friend of Leon Belmont, but after he lost his love he schemed to become a vampire and curse god. Over the centuries leading up to 1476 he would offer humans knowledge in his castle. Lisa was one such human who he fell in love with as she reminded him of that woman he lost as a human. Later she was burned at the stake by the church and this starts off the events of Castlevania III (pretty much the same in the game as in the show).
>In the games, Sypha was raised by witches but darkness poisoned the hearts of man which started the witch trials and led to the death of her family (she escaped). Some time later she was granted protection by the church and trained as a monk. Eventually becoming a hunter for the church, to get revenge on the darkness. The church sent her out (disguised as a man, cause Wallachia scared of witches) to hunt Dracula but she was turned to stone by the Cyclops until Trevor finds her.
>At the end of the game, The group is viewed as legendary heroes and the Belmont clan once again is honored and respected.

tl;dr:

>The artifacts have real power.
>Witch burning is bad and the church was wrong for doing it.

I'm not super clear on this but I think Castlevania III (the game itself) is set in Transylvania though the Belmonts have been exiled from Wallachia (a region south of Transylvania). Wheras the Netflix show is set in Wallachia.

So this line should read:
>(disguised as a man, cause Transylvania scared of witches)

>>94142031
I agree 100% with both complaints. Castlevania is legendary for it's music, that really let me down. Hopefully he monsters get better in Season 2.

>>94148443
Dracula is incapable of forgiveness and lives only for revenge.

>>94142874
I enjoyed the show and am looking forward to season 2 but I agree with all of your complaints, though maybe not to the same extent. The animation never reaches Dragon Ball Super levels of bad, for instance.

>>94143999
I did too but at times I kind of felt like they were trying to cram as many references as possible which felt too campy for my taste.

Entire first season is setup, everything happens in the second season.
