Is Castlevania worth indulging in?

Nothing about it seems exceptional but this absolute waifu.
I don't mind it being cringy and juvenile i just care if the plot is coherent. Should i watch it?

The art is at least nicish. Background paintins are generally gorgeous. Characters and story are awful but voice acting itself is alright. Action scenes are animated pretty well but ultimately it's not worth your time.

It's like 10 eps just do it its fine

it's worth it for her voice alone, it's like a warm blanket
But it's very good overall. As a christpilled individual don't believe MUH IT HATES CATHOLICS shit
there is just an evil guy who happens to be Christian

I actually really enjoyed it.

Here’s a crazy insider tip: Alucard is just Dracula, backwards

There was a ridiculous amount of dialogue. Lots and lots of verbose exposition and dialogues about the stupid plot. Quit watching

If you're a fan of the games then potentially. However the characters are awful particularly Belmont. The writing is awful.
Action sequences are okay.
The poo producer who latches onto games and comics has no idea what he is doing.

Not nearly enough monster fighting as you might actually expect from a Castlevania show. It's just incredibly long conversations in one area and then another conversation elsewhere. I couldn't believe I was watching the same show people had been almost universally praising.

>there is just an evil guy who happens to be Christian
Pure coincidence!

It's a Reddit show

It was surprisingly decent. Agree with others about Belmont - he basically is the antihero comedian type. There's a female high vampire and her dialogue is always shit. She literally says "manchildren"

>Not nearly enough monster fighting as you might actually expect from a Castlevania show.
DROPED
thanks, fellas

I'm not kidding. There was maybe two fucking action scenes in the first season. I didn't bother with the second.

I heard they finally used some of the castlevania music in the last episode of second season
Never bothered getting that far into it
Animation is fine but the writing is garbage and character design is trash.
>games known for great music and monster design
>don't use any of it
Should have gotten Aeon Flux guy to make it

you are literally exactly the same as roasties who screech because a woman was evil in a film

Just a pure coincidence that the militant atheist writer changed Sypha from someone who works for the church to someone who wants to destroy the church

I thought it was excellent fun. Good banter, good action, interesting take on Dracula as a tragic anti-hero who just needs to be euthanized.

No, it literally has nothing to do with the games aside from name and it's just some fedora tipper writer going euphoric to a point where a catholic priest is in charge of an orthodox country and he's going around burning witches, something that was unheard of in that region.
Play the games instead.

>good action
All 2 minutes of it.

Hahaha holy Shit. Did Warren Ellis even look at a fucking map? HOLY SHIT!!!! Immm fucking dying!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA XXD

Kek ...literally the funniest shit on this board right now. Some one tell me Netflix caught this mistake before making the cartoon

thats like 2-3 kinos long

The Church was rarely involved in burnings like that at all. Most of that shit took place in Germany due to villages going nuts and burning each other.

But the writing was awful and the animation was shit.

Some priest were good though, remember that one priest were helping them at the end of S1 by turning water into holy water, fighting monsters and other stuff. Sure, he was background NPC tier, but that just means not every Catholic were evil, only those under the command of the Bishop

I noticed the voice actor for Sypha Belnades had a minor VA role in the first Mass Effect, in which she plays the female doctor in the cutscene right after Shepard helps Garrus kill the thugs shooting at him in the Presidium lower levels

No, it's only 20-ish minutes per episode

It's like one kino-length anime movie long

The main character is the same cringy "nothin personal.... Kid" Mary Sue the writer puts in all of his comics. It's like something a teenager would write.

Whoever decided to dedicate 80% of the plot of season 2 o setting up the villains for the next ones is insane.

That said I think it was ok. As most anons said the action is really good but overall scarce.
I would totally trash it if it wasn't for the last episode of s2, it was an indeed kino ending.

Not after Dracula killed the deer and destroyed the forest for literally no fucking reason. Nobody on the show to root for now.

Orthodox church literally never did that and the act of witch burning was sanctioned by the states themselves, the usual "trick" being that if you accuse someone of being a witch or a warlock YOU are the one that has to prove it, and if you don't it than YOU will be burned at the stake instead of the accused.

I think you mean butthurt white middle class male incels. They've never played a fucking Castlevania game or any other pre-2005 in their fucking lives. They're just mad any time someone sleights their class in the most minimal fashion. That's why we need to fucking guillotine them.

It's bait because it proves you talked out of your ass?

You've never been within 100km of Romania or a non-American Orthodox church. Stop acting like you're an expert. You're just being a professional victim and trying to find reasons to be offended by a cartoon.

>incels
You will never be a woman.

also
witches should, in fact, be burned at the stake
so the question is not whether they should be burned, but rather, whether the show falsely portrays science and medicine as 'witchcraft'
this dracula is twisted into something sympathetic because witchcraft itself is portrayed inaccurately

witch burning was mainly in protestant countries.

That's fortunate, since I don't want to be.

>gets btfo

Yeah, that's what i thought.

Nigga fuck off, I've been playing Castlevania games my entire life I was hype as shit for this, I own a Famicom just for the Japanese version of Castlevania 3, I preordered every single game in the series since I have memory.
All for Warren Ellis to come in and go like "hey so I don't like this Grant dude let's get rid of him and then add a bunch of swear words." Like Jesus why don't we get him writing the Pokemon anime so he can add a very important Bishop character and have the Pokemon swear at each other?
Nigga that's Symphony of the Night, I'd be completely fine with it if they were setting up evil gay bishop to be Shaft, but they're not, Warren Ellis is just sticking his edgy fucking dick where it doesn't belong.

And play as my nigga Grant.

in the real world, there are actual blood drinking, satan worshipping child rapists
dracula from the castlevania series is a fictional version of those real people
there is no grey area in their behavior, extermination is necessary and inevitable
making them even a tiny bit sympathetic is almost as evil as the monsters themselves, since that might result in them not being destroyed

so yeah, for this show, one of it's many grotesque failures is twisting the living expression of evil into 'oh he's just mad at the CHURCH, bro, about killing some woman who was performing SCIENCE'

to say nothing of vlad tepes himself, who while horribly violent, actually did a lot of great things for the country he ruled over. now that's a villain with extra dimensions to him

There's nothing wrong with making evil characters sympathetic, if anything it could add more dimensions to your series when done well.
You wanna know where it wouldn't be done well? In a series that has BRAM STOKER'S FUCKING DRACULA IN ITS CANON TIMELINE.

From Castlevania 3's Japanese manual. The church are the good guys

>Dracula. His territory was located at the outskirts of Transylvania, at the Wallachia territory, where he used a taboo art to ressurect an evil deity. The deity granted him power and in exchange, he summoned several apparitions from the spirit world in order to scorch and massacre the entire nation of Wallachia with darkness.

>He felt he could extend his presence even further and now he's plotting to take all over Europe. The East Orthodox Church were desperate to solve this situation, that they immediately dispatched a powerful army to Wallachia, but they never came back.

>As a last resort, the Pope made a request to a man from the underworld, a man who uses a forbidden art and a pair of Vampire Hunters to end Wallachia's oppresion.

>The first one that was entrusted by the Pope was Sypha Belnandez at the East Orthodox Church, an apprentice monk in pursuit of becoming a priest. Sypha lost his parents when he was young and was found wandering near the monastery, where he remained at the once-beautiful Wallachia. Sypha knew that the place in his memories was now tainted and he accepted the pope's request to liberate Wallachia.

>The Pope was in predicament once again. Sypha, the vampire hunter who was sent out to Wallachia did not returned after the promised period. The Pope assumed that since Sypha didn't return, his mission was already a failure and he was more likely dead by now.

>This is when a genuine Vampire Hunter from the Belmont family appears to fullfil the Pope's request. The Belmont family, with their tenacious willpower and seemingly bottomless strenght were treated no differently from the actual vampires and were just as feared. Because of this, the Belmont family lived far away from common people, becoming almost folkloric. The Pope searched in all directions until he met a man with Belmont bloodline. A longhair young man who was Ralph C. Belmont.

The amount of children suffering at the hands of satan worshippers is like a drop in the ocean compared to those being abused by catholic priests to this very day. And that's not even getting into the inquisitions and witch burnings. Fucking retard.

Imagine not even believing in god but pretending that you do so you can be associated with proven kiddie-diddlers and hope to get a trad waifu.

Nice Yea Forums thread

Christians rape kids literally all the time. And it used to be literally a capital offense in christian countries to be gay and gay bashing was sport in my lifetime and literally it only became "allowed" to be gay in fucking America within about the past 10 or so years. It's more moderate christians and atheists who stopped christkikes from chimping out 24/7, and still christians killed a good few people in that fight. Everyone is tired of your playing the victim bullshit when the past 2000 years are you literally rampaging across the Earth committing genocide and destroying everything you can get your filthy hands on as being "pagan". Stop acting like you're fucking civilized. You're filthy fucking barbarians and you should be forced to live in the mud like the pigs you are, not allowed in civilization.

To me is OK as adaptation/show, but there is too much warren ellis to be true to castlevania. My biggest issue is how they shit on the lore mixing dracula´s curse and symphony of the night in just one story. There was never a evil church on DC and SOTN (a reference to witch hunts here but nothing more) there is bits of that on PS2 games but no on the games they take.

On games dracula is always the bad guy, is odd to see him as a victim or emo grampa, but every game adaptation is a bit shitty.

>i look at fictional settings and apply them to real life the show
All of the retards that hate the show think like this, it's a quality animated show that has nice music and action scenes and a few waifus.

is this shit like Hellsing or is it more like Berserk in it's mythology?

and spent nearly half its runtime on flashbacks and a quarter in a library and retconed the only a real priest can make holy water part of season 1

Series co-producer and writer Warren Ellis noted that in putting together a story that would appeal to a general audience beyond those who play the games regularly, he was, in fact, the general audience. “My dirty secret is that I never played the video game, and had actually never heard of it previous to being approached about adapting it,” said Ellis.

Why the fuck is this allowed?

Because sitting there jacking off the game is shit that only the most autistic of nerds care about, hence this thread.

trips don't lie
anyway, fine 1st season, shit 2nd season

>no castlevania music
>Except there was
Yeah! 1 fucking song: a shit cover of bloody tears, not even the whole song but the main cue from the theme. So true to castlevania spirit

I watched the 1st season. Should I give the 2nd a try?

It's worse than S1

In what regard?

Scene - "This was your room"

That did me

fag

>Hating Warren Ellis

The state of 2019 Yea Forums

is less focused on the characters and more focused on dracula´s feels and a new bunch of vampires coming from nowhere trying to take the leadership while dracula is wheeping.

>Warren Ellis is perfect
no, like Miller he had better days, but is shit right now.

Huh. Are the new vamps interesting at least?

That's exactly my point. Reading comprehension?

>a supporting character is the protagonist
No
Nope, Bishop was ignorant of what the priest was really doing and the priest's thugs were not consecrated. They were literally imposters, hired muscle.

The "whole song" is a 30 second loop consisting of 3 melodies lmao. The "whole song" was in the show.

>Liking reddit writers

It's fine

I swear something about the Yea Forums, Yea Forums, and Yea Forums trifecta made everyone become incessantly nitpicky about every little fucking thing
it's entertaining and better than almost all adaptations netflix has ever shit out

You know what else didn't exist in that era? Vampires and flying castles. Holy fuck go outside. It's FICTION.

faggots that can't define adaptation and creative license

The rest are fine but
>If you anger him, he's worse. Because he's real.
Is retarded for being so hamfisted and because it breaks immersion since it's talking about Dracula of all things.

>Huh. Are the new vamps interesting at least?
Sort of, depends of what are you looking in an adaptation: Of all of them only 3 characters have a conection to the games but they are so different that beside name, that is just new characters. Carmila is a hit or miss, people hate or love her.

No, they are a waste of screen time

Holy Catholic Trevor Belmont>>>>>>Jobber Drunk Trevor Belmont

It's a good thing I watched it all before seeing what Yea Forums thought about it.

He never come off as Atheist. Did you even watch?

>>completely disregarding the scene where the demons are specifically able to enter the church that this guy is in charge of and before they kill him they literally tell him outright that this is not a house of God due to the priest being ungodly
the scene they completly stole from lords of shadows?
i remember that scene
youtu.be/LyoqclOMuTM?t=388

Fuck off, mongoloid.

they did more good than bad
its aways the same fucking points
>MUH INQUSITION
how many fucking hospitals did the church built? how many orphanages?

for every person they burned/killed HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO they saved hundreds of thousands more from dying of hunger or deseases

there isnt a single organization in the WORLD that did as much good for NOTHING more than love for god and passion for each other

It's gonna be great when you finally kill yourself.

You're living in a christian civilization, you smelly imbecile. Your morality is christian morality. Tip your fedora elsewhere.

The fights are good, albeit far too rare, and the art is pretty, but there's some major missteps and the entirety of the second season was a fucking mistake. Bless whoever was drawing the backgrounds, though, they slipped in a ton of references to the source material, even the elusive Wall Chicken.
Holy fuck though the second season with all the vampire politics was complete rubbish. Give me Dracula and the Belmonts, not all these random fuckers. And if you're going to put Carmilla in something, it's an absolute fucking crime not to have any girl-on-girl bloodsucking action.
Also, Castlevania without any skeletons just isn't right. Skeletons are a core part of the series.

No it’s total shit garbage

It's nothing special but worth watching. It's better then most american cartoons but sucks compared to most actual anime.

>sucks compared to most actual anime.

this

You talk like a complete idiot.

>game with one of the most iconic soundtracks ever
>tv show gets a 30 second remix

Even Mortal Kombat movie was more respectful to the source

You mean the entire church. The only good clergyman as at the end of the first season, and he is just one guy

Nah, the show is obviously conflicted between the source material and the views of the writers. There's nothing wrong with the church being corrupt but the changes to Sypha and Trevor are clearly a result of author butthurt. There's an underlying petulance to the whole thing. They may as well be saying "Fuck you God, you're not my dad," and it's pretty embarrassing. It's condescending to me, I don't need to be reassured of my modern atheistic perspective by characters far removed from me.

There are a few lines in particular from the season 2 opening that made me shake my head. You can't have a supposedly smart character deny the existence of Satan in this universe where she's married to fucking Dracula and holy water works. It's just the writers cavalierly shrugging off the source material because they don't like that it's very loosely tied to religion.

Getting away from the religious angle, the show still isn't very good. The relationship of friendly banter between Trevor and Alucard was so unearned that it actively pissed me off every time they fell back into it. The majority of the second season is spent on the GoT-lite crap with the villains rather than developing the actual leads organically. So often there's awkward expositional dialogue delivered in the most ham fisted way. One particular exchange between Dracula and Isaac that takes place when they're sharing a drink or something is chuckle worthy. I can see something good somewhere behind the bullshit, especially in the last two episodes, but it's such a slog until that point.

What's retarded is that the zombie bishop was able to bless the river despite having no relationship with god.

Yea, I thought the first season was really good. Didn't care much for the second.

Season 2 was so well done I googled to make sure there would be a 3.

So please watch.

First season was pretty great, the second was an absolute waste with roughly three decent moments interspersed throughout. Was there a drastic change in the staff or something?

Agreed 100%

>What's retarded is that the zombie bishop was able to bless the river despite having no relationship with god.
This part is hilariously retarded.
>evil bishop gets attacked by demons because "this is a godless church and he has abandoned you"
>somehow they reanimate him into a zombie for the purpose of turning the river into holy water
They can't even follow their own rules.

Well, castlevania never was a flying castle.

The animation gets better in the second season.
It's better enjoyed if you played the games or know a thing or two about Castlevania, because the series subverts some things people usually asume about the game's lore.
Syfa is an good character. Her magic looks cool.

this was so dumb and embararsing.

>It's better enjoyed if you played the games or know a thing or two about Castlevania

More like you will rage if you played the games.

Daily reminder, the creator of this show is a massive SJW who got Apu written off the Simpsons.

>It's better enjoyed if you played the games or know a thing or two about Castlevania,

No, it's the opposite

So glad I'm not a contrarian autist like you.

I´m so glad to have and opinion instead of parroting like you.

Not terrible, but not good. It´s a bit cringe is you looking for a vampire story, I was waiting for the dark lord and I found a crying old man

It could have been worse but its ok. Things I would of changed/added:
> A good priest to balance out the evil priest character. Good priest could have given Trevor the holy water bottles and cross boomerang.
> Death and his relationship with Drac (canonically they are buddies and I've been curious how the fuck that happened)
> Some more scenes of monsters slaughtering people and destroying villages
>more of the heroes in the castle fighting boss monsters through iconic castle areas.
>Longer 3v1 Dracula fight and Demon form fight.

It really seemed it like a transformation was going to happen for a second when Dracula said he wasn't a normal vampire but unfortunately they didn't do that.

>> A good priest to balance out the evil priest character.

Or keeping Sypha's church background. See

Also to add while Grant would have been nice I didn't mind him not being in it. It's not like he had any descendants that mattered later in the series. However he could have been the moral glue or something of the group that dies a heroic death to Drac or something at the end idk. It is a missing element though.

it's pretty good, and atleast 10 times better than most anime trash.

>Redditards unironically think Castlevania is the greatest animated series of all time

They could have had Sypha and her group be a church monk subset I agree. I do think an actual good priest that could have been a good support character really helped a lot more though.

> Death and his relationship with Drac (canonically they are buddies and I've been curious how the fuck that happened)
they are building up to have isaac become death

you can watch all of them in like a day. it's just fun schlock, id rec

That or Shaft.

There's a movie in theaters right now that's probably the most faithfully adapted weeb movie ever made and ever will be made. You can make a good product that pleases everyone if you actually give a shit.

>A good priest to balance things out

The church as a whole is not evil, just the priest at Walakia. There's probably more corrupt priests among the good ones, but not all of them are evil.

Her sire fucked her too hard so now she beats autists

>You will never get the shit beat out of you by a powerful vampire babe and then be forced to do her bidding.

>just the priest at Walakia

You forgot the evil archbishop, the evil bishop and his dozens of evil priests, and the evil cleric who whipped Isaac because he's gay

It is for the fans primarly, user, so take a guess.
Love or hate thing.

>It is for the fans primarly

No it isn't. see . Real fans hate what kikeflix did to Castlevania

OP here
Thank god you guys kept this thread going, i really needed to take a look at this perfect 2d waifu a little more
Anyways, i'm torrenting season 1 already and if the first 2 episodes hook me i'll watch the rest.
thanks, guys
