So given that Trevor is clearly inspired by his CoD look,Alucard by his SoTN look, and Dracula having shades of Mathias, can we all agree that these guys know the series well, and we can expect to see references from well beyond just Cv3?

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.

So far, when it comes to the overall look and the character designs, I definitely think they are hitting the right notes. However, personally, I want to know  a little bit more about the script. The visual references to LoI, CoD and SotN indeed seem to indicate they're keeping those games in mind. But I'm still worried about how they will adapt CV3 itself. For example, something I really like about the CV3's backstory is the Church trying various methods to get rid of Dracula themselves before turing to the Belmont family as a last resort. Will events also happen that way in the animated series? The reason I'm worrying about that is because that initial summary that was posted online seems to completely omit that. So I hope that part is included or at least alluded to.

How about the Devil Forgemaster's involvement during CV3 as revealed in Curse of Darkness' backstory?

I'm hoping, but that's more of a pipe dream. But then again, Trevor' s look definitely harkens most to his appearance in CoD.  So it's not outside the realm of possibility.

I'd prefer it if they left that stuff out of this adaption to be honest. If they're making a CVIII mini series then that's what it should be about. CoD is CoD; it's own thing. Though added to CVIII's backstory it is not actual original CVIII material. The visual nods I can let slide but I'd prefer a more authentic CVIII experience.

you can see a little bit more of the Trevor vs Alucard scene in this netflix trailor.  most of the trailer is devoted to other netflix shows though.

Here's the clip on it's own, someone posted it on facebook.

Well that was just an example.  I would much prefer that this series sets itself up for more than just  Cv3.  I want mention of Leon Belmont, I want at least some kind of reference to devil forgemasters, Chaos as the source of Dracula's power, and maybe even an appearance from Carmilla.  No reason to limit this to one NES game when the power of Castlevania's story has always been cumulative.  We already have elements from SoTN, why stop there?  They'll have to add something to the story in order to flesh it out enough for the medium, would you prefer they just make stuff up, or use what's already been laid out in the series?

So Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield) is in this now apparently, according to the official website.

I'd agree with you, were not for the fact this already isn't an "authentic CVIII experience". So much shit is changed (and I mean, core aspects) that I'm just hoping it looks good and can stand by itself. More or less how I hoped for LoS1.

No, you're not.  I had all the episodes on those oldtimey EP VHS tapes (8 hours per tape, terrible framerate).
But I watched the entire thing, like, three times, a few years ago.

The whole bit with Anubis, "The Ancient", the entire bit about all the characters wearing "That Armor", all the kickass power moves.

I might have a few gripes about the Hobbit trilogy, but acting ability isn't one of them. Armitage is phenomenal.

The Netflix series might wind up being total crap, but even if that happens it'll still be populated by quality people.
