Topic: Netflix Castlevania Animation: Cast Revealed

Is that Simon??

Who cares I wanna make love to that artwork. It's hitting all the spots for me.

Powerhouse Animation is animating this afterall! It's not Mir as I had originally thought.

Is that Simon??

Dracula's face fits with the face that appears on the intro of the teaser:



Also, notice it says "Kyassurubania" instead of "Akumajo Dracula".

why didnt they get ayami kojima as char designer so we could have an animation that looks like this

doing a riff on the cv1 box art is a missed opportunity when they could've done a riff on the original frazetta painting it's based on

[TheTextGuy]

Is that Simon??

It's prolly Trevor, but the classic Castlevania 1 boxart is so iconic, so that's prolly why they're homaging that.

Also, he's giving off some Nathan Graves vibes.  I haven't played Circle of the Moon, but I think I prolly should.

[Dracula9]

It's Trevor. Compare outfit details with what's seen in the trailer.

[Saner]

the art, character designs and animations looks greater than expected

also that woman really resembles Sypha in colors, garments, and magic user style.

that would be incredible if Grant and Alucard are in this too, which would further solidify that Belmont is Trevor.
he looks nothing like Nathan Graves, Nathan has short white/silver spiky hair, and different costume colors overall.

plus that scar seems like homage to CV: CoD Trevor. 

great music and atmosphere.  could be outstanding.

[Saner]

I was under the impression this is only 4 episodes and season 2 is going to be an adaption of a different game.

"only" 4 episodes?  four 30 minute episodes are equivalent to movie length.   with 4 episodes they could give it even more pacing, action and quality to it instead of sinking into a soap opera mood like those anime that are so long they show more talking heads than actual progression and action.

if season 2 is another story/era, that is very interesting, and more effecient in telling tales of different characters instead of the same few.

[Ratty]

Yeah but get this: Grant ain't a pirate.

Yeah, we know that because we've all looked into it. But he looks like a pirate, and I think the English manual made him one. (Though it's been years since I read it.) The fact that some of the game takes place on a ghost ship I think only helped solidify this in people's minds. If you don't make him a pirate it invites the kind of uninformed backlash that happened with the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren't aliens!" thing, remember that?

And I get the whole champion of the common man thing, but he's still the dullest next to a sorceress, son of Dracula and a Belmont.

[VladCT]

I'm still erring on the cautious side for this on account of POWER/RANGERS being a bit of an edgy wank IMO.

So, nitpicking the teaser, I noticed that something DID survive from Ellis' script...

From the script (possible spoiler warning):

From the teaser:

Notice the pipes on the floor and under the coffin. Also, if I remember well, Alucard being half-naked was, too, revealed to happen by Ellis on the blog.

I'd not mention it if it weren't such an oddly specific detail to make it into the animation.

[goat-fucking joke possibility intensifies]

EDIT: Put stuff on spoiler tags because if the script is being followed WEW LAD

"Nah Grant is too dumb" -Warren Ellis

I'm not even kidding.

EDIT: I AM kidding on the way he said that. He used a great deal more words to explain (haphazardly) why he thought Grant was dumb way back on the other script.

While him not showing up is weird considering we have Alucard and Sypha showing up, this doesn't mean Grant isn't there...

...but I sure hope it is.

with that quote, Ellis exposes his idiotic, ignorant and shallow minded side.   He's too dumb to make Grant cool and make sense in this Castlevania tv series.
maybe it's his insecure way of saying the artists and animators are too lazy to dedicate their work on involving an extra key character in the episodes.
though would say it's the former and Warren is just a total biased idiot. 
  if they are gonna base the story on Castlevania III, no characters should be cut, especially one of the playable characters that can join Trevor.   

like really, it's not like they are juggling a One Piece sized cast of characters.

 or Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust sized cast either, and that movie involved at least 6 hunters, counting D.

Ooooh, good eye.

I hope the goat fucking was omitted cuz lmao

[Belmontoya]

I'm not gonna get hung up on any changes they make. As long as it's good and it feels like Castlevania.

I usually skipped Grant in CV3 so... Maybe Trevor just took the other path in this series! lol

So far it looks, sounds, and feels like Castlevania to me!

I'm very excited and happy about the trailer. I can't wait to see more.

[yamabigdog]

I am beyond pumped up for this!
