This is going to be pretty damn awesome if the quality is consistent!
I didn't really feel the hype for months but now I can't wait.

Yes, because Hobbit was the only thing they've ever done and their merits should be judged by that series alone (which doesn't even make any sense since most of the Hobbit cast was excellent despite the flubs in the script and overall production).  :P

Man, the audio quality might be awful, but from the sound of things McTavish is nailing it. I also like the headiness of Lisa's accent, despite it being muddled from aforementioned quality.

I do not watch many movies, so I can only judge them by what I saw of them. Besides, I'm still waiting for the final product before I make a judgement. As I repeatedly said, it looks promising.
"It's not that I don't love to run into the heart of danger... Actually, that's exactly it."
"Individualism is a path fraught with obstacles, and sometimes angry mobs, but for all its hardships it is the only one worth taking."

Also, from the same Twitter that posted these videos:

-Second season is comprised of 8 episodes.
-This is not a origin story, because they feel "origin stories are not always exciting".

New description on Netflix page. "A vampire hunter fights to save a besieged city from an army of otherworldly beasts controlled by Dracula himself.  Based on the classic video games."

I was already hyped, after these clips, super hyped.  I hope we get a new trailer tonight.

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.

Now that I've actively seen clips, though, I think a suspicion I've had for some time seems to be highly plausible.

I feel like this may ultimately be akin to Underworld or Van Helsing.

Bloody load of fun to watch, some nice B-action full of Rule of Cool attacks, some surprisingly solid acting for the tone of the piece, and all around a great hammy time...just don't think into the logistics of it all too much.

Wow Season 2 already confirmed, and it's eight episodes. I'm willing to bet they're covering Castlevania 1 and Simon's Quest next.

EDIT: That Cyclops fight was super fun to watch, I'm excited to see the whole season in a few days!

Doubt it. It's more likely they'll continue CVIII.

-This project is the same as 10 years ago.
-No voice actor for Death was announced.

They could discard Grant (and that's assuming Grant doesn't make it in EVER), but Death?

I could see it going into Symphony of the Night honestly.

Maybe in a 3rd season.  But I agree with plot.  This was an animated trilogy before.  So given that now it is 12 episodes, and this first season is based on the script for the first animated movie, it is almost definitely all Cv3.

The intro is fucking magnificent.... but why aren't they using classic themes?! :(

Also the humor is spot on.
