I never got around to reading that. I didn't know we knew that much. Even specific characters. Thats kind of lame.

Now we pray they don't shit the bed, because the summary does and justified ever since the beginning my complete distrust of this project.

The animation and the cast are promising! In fact, the animation (from the teaser, at least) is a great deal superior to what I expected. The cast is also stellar.

Well, the cast lineup is looking great! Graham McTavish is playing Dracula, and, as I suspected, James Callis is playing Alucard. I know Callis more from Bridget Jones rather than Battlestar (I was never convinced by the remake when I grew up loving the original), and think he sounds right. I think we're being spoilt by the quality of the lineup. I'm definitely going to wait until I see the series before I pass full jdgement on this though, as I've said all along. Even if it's not the mind-blowingly fabulous, everything we could dream of series that we hope it to be, it's still a screen adaptation of the series. It's based on the original series rather than Lords of Shadow. It's also something that isn't a mobile or pachinko game. That's at least something to be happy about. It might help pave the way to someting else later down the line.

Exactly. Now I'm a little bit less sure of what's going to happen.
I hope they don't screw up.

This is my biggest hope about this whole series, while I still hope it will be a great adaptation, and that at least a good amount of my hopes are realized by it, if in the end it's at least enough to revive the series again, that already makes me happy.

I would love new games, I imagine this would hope, as it would put the series in the public eyes again, even if it will be for a whole new audience too, and cause a newbie boom, which depending of what direction they take with this animation, it could be worrying. But it seems they are going with the series' roots, so they probably won't change the games if that happens.

Oohhh.... Is this Lisa's death scene?

Nagumo · « **Reply #219 on:** June 29, 2017, 04:03:52 AM »

That was my first thought as well. This might also indicate an improvement of the old synopsis. There's it's stated that after Dracula learned of Lisa's death, he doesn't even bother going down there and just threatens the villager through a magic mirror. Needless to say it makes more sense for him to show up in person so that the audience can see him react to Lisa's death.
