Hopefully he will use classic enemies and bosses while keeping more or less character portrayals, instead of random enemies, names slapped in for no reason other than "Durr look who's in the game except its not important anymore" (Sypha Im looking at you) and barrels like in Mirror of Fate.

Ask him when we can expect a visual teaser that showcases the art style or just a trailer soon

Good stuff! Hopefully we'll get a bit more info on how this will go. Personally, if it ends up being mediocre, it still reminds people that Castlevania is (still) a thing.

The 'Surely Grant's name should be re-translated as Grant Danesti rather than fully ditching him' point has also baffled me as to why it's not been done already even when the project was originally under development ten years ago.  For anyone who's actually looked at the real Vlad III's history, the DaNasty -> Danesti is insanely obvious....  I suppose that we will find out one way or the other in the not too distant future.
While we're at it, can we have all the mistranslated names retranslated? Belnades, Lecarde, et cetera.

If they are gonna do that then they gotta call the series Akumajo Dracula. Since you want them to use the Japanese names.

If it can draw attention to the series and convince Konami to make a brand new game, then that's a plus. I'm not getting my hopes up for that, but it would be nice to see.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

He didn't outright ditch Grant. He just thought Grant was too minor to introduce on the first movie (and offered a number of crap excuse to back this up). I certainly think he will appear on this Netflix show, but guess what? It'll have another season planned for 2018, with the one coming out now having four 30 minutes-long episodes.

I don't wanna wait until 2018 to see Grant, to be fairly honest to you. In fact I don't want to see tasteless humor, nor Gresit bishop, nor gore for gore's sake, nor Sypha being anything but a witch sent by the Church, nor Trevor "using his superior fighting skills" (whatever the hell this means) to defeat Cyclops inside some underground ruins (is it so hard to make it into a creepy-ass forest?). I don't want this bullshit, and I'm afraid this is exactly the bullshit we will get.

There is plenty of material on the original canon to work with and the only excuse for not adapting this material is not having done enough research.

Exmaplined pretty much what I'd like to see- og Castlevania where it was dark fantasy and there was magic but the Belmonts were still human and were still vulnerable. Yes Sypha gives Belmonts like Richter and Juste their magic but I hate whenever the Belmonts have super saiyan powers. You're right, though, I don't think they'll go that route. If it is over the top action but still quality material though, I won't let that ruin my enjoyment even if it does irk me a bit

That's a very nonsensical looking castle.

Man... I actually really love the craziness of this castle. It makes it seem more like a supernaturally built structure with a different type of purpose.

The logo is great too.

Very cool!

The deciding moment on art will be a character like Trevor or Alucard.

The worst monsters are human.

I'm not feeling it. It's not bad, I just think it's missing the point.

When I first saw this weeks ago (yes, this has been unveiled much earlier than Shankar posted it on Facebook) I thought it was just a random "evil castle" artwork they found on Google to use as illustration.

For a random artwork whose purpose or character I didn't know at the time, I thought it looked properly terrifying and technically good. But now that I know this is supposed to be Dracula's Castle, I'm not very fond of it.

For me it looks too forced, too "metal". While the obvious bizarre structure conveys the "you will not want to be here, man" feeling, and while it's a good thing that this design draws parallels with the CVIII castle in overall disposition of stuff, it looks to me that someone didn't get the part where Dracula was supposed to be living PEACEFULLY amongst humans, in a castle that holds a façade of a "totally normal albeit a bit too large castle" until Dracula lost his mind. You can't be very peaceful when you live on the Obviously Evil Castle, can you?

From what I gather, and this comes a lot from personal opinion based on what I have perceived on the series mind you, the castle doesn't LOOK obviously eldritch from its exterior. It's only when you squint that you start noticing the absurd stuff from the outside -- in special Dracula's room hanging on nothing but a stairway. The devil is on the details, and this poster is too on-your-face, I think.

We don't know much about the plot, so we don't have much context or know if the castle will like transform or something, or if Dracula will shape up this evil castle when he goes mad. It could be anything and I'm passing early judgment. But this looks like somewhere where Bowser would live in, not Dracula.

EDIT: Coming from the future to tell myself that yeah, the castle was exactly this from the onset, and yeah, this "teaser" poster was as final as final comes.
