Castlevania Animated Series to be on Netflix?!

Here is an article talking about an animated Castlevania Netflix show. I don't know if this is related to the Adi Shankar announcement for something similar last year.

Wow Unlimited Media seems more aimed at children, and Adi Shankar's project was supposed to be super violent. So... I guess we will see as news continues to arrive. Please share anything you find!

It's the same project.  "written by Warren Ellis"
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13104670/1/Castlevania-Birth-of-the-Dragon

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

Still, Though we might get sonic Boom tier games, we might still get game tie-ins.

If it's only 4 episodes, I expect a hefty budget and good animation poured into each one

We need a visual with designs asap...

Goat-Flix

The goat is the metaphor for Castlevania, getting fucked in the ass.

There is the potential that this could be how they reboot the series, hopefully the right way.

The animated series could very well be setting up the next game.

The art and story have to be top grade, none of this lazy adventure time, Steven universe, style  character designs,
Like Young justice's writing   and designs, both solid and fantastic to watch, they crafted

the last thing anyone who  Really understand CV, what to see is some "HIP" "FRESH" take on CV, were they all look like stick people, with no faces. And the story's just a  mangled piece of self aware crap, for "todays" hipsters.

CV is something that I hold very dear to me, and we what to see it get the respect it deserves, as any true fan doesn't   what to see some guy's take on it who has  no real Love for CV.

 However all that being said, I'll keep an open mind. As CV  really needs the life pumped back in to it, and this could be really helpful, BUT they should really cater to the Fans none of this we what new fans,

NO the ones who have loved it for years, played all the games over and over. We what to see the world of CV come to life on in this show, the way it was meant to. In other Words they need to handle it REALLY carefully.

And after seeing what he said "it will flip the vampire sub-genre on its head"
Does have me a little worried.
But  only time will tell. Lets hope that its good, really good and if it does well then Konami may thinking about  making the games again, or selling the rights to someone that will.

I'm in this for the non-Pachinko tie-in games. If we get non-Pachinko tie-in games.

No, I haven't learned my lesson yet.

I still have zero faith. Sorry. I learned my lessons about being hopeful for good video game multimedia projects decades ago. Although the Warcraft and Assassin's Creed films were both remarkably faithful to their source material, so I suppose there IS a slight chance this could be good. Emphasis on slight.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.
