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.

I also would like a faithful adaptation, but at the same time, I would like if they leave small mentions to past games in the timeline.
As long as it doesn't change the original story itself too much. I don't mind small additions that actually increment the story.
A straight literal adaptation of the 3rd game wouldn't work too well, the timeline was only growing back then, at the time Dracula's Curse was the first game in the timeline, but this is not the case anymore, so I would like reflections of that in this animation.
While I want the original story to be the same, I think it will be great if they focus on adding details from the backstory and all, as long as they don't make up things that didn't really exist.
The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night.

What you're describing is exactly why I disliked the rough draft that was posted online several years ago (back when this was still going to be trilogy of movies). I didn't see to address any of the backstory at all in favor of the writer's own original ideas, which were pretty lame. That's why I'm really hoping that was just a really early draft and that IGA  made Ellis heavily revise it (he supervised the movie back then).

A few examples of how references to other games' additions to the continuity would be a huge help...

We need more backstory and motivation for Trevor.  Leon Belmont and the history of the clan would do a great job helping to fill that.

Same for Dracula, he needs motivations.  The storylines of LoI and SoTN provide that in spades.  On a side note the chaos plot line from AoS/DoS could do wonders for his development/down fall.

As pointed out already, Dracula needs supporting characters, Carmilla and the devil forgemasters beat the hell out of rando monsters and made up characters.

And let's not forget that a huge portion of the Belnades clan story comes from post Cv3 games, I still want those aspects incorporated.

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.

I actually think Hector could make a compelling side character for future seasons, dealing with his growing disgust at Dracula's actions and his eventual split from and betrayal of the Dark Lord.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Now Graham McTavish, another of The Hobbit's cast, has been added to the cast lineup for Castlevania!  Now I know who Tony Amendola is - Stargate's Master Bra'tac! :O  Bra'tac was awesome.

Wow. Would they cast even more dwarves in this? I'm liking it. :)

Lisa confirmed on Adi's facebook.

With Lisa being part of the show we can guess it will be part Dracula's Curse and "SotN Lite"

Here's Sypha from his thumbnail.

One of those guys is "Death" for sure.

That would be an interesting but judging from this old synopsis that's not going to be the case. The Elder is supposed to be Sypha's grandfather who is the leader of a "group of holy people called Speakers".  The Bishop is just a really pointless character. He acts like a secondary villian but he's not affiliated with Dracula at all. He later gets killed off by Dracula's minions.

They could have changed things but it sounds like the series is going to match up with what is written in that synopsis.

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

Richard Armitage is in it? He's probably voicing an important character.

Still hoping for Grant somewhere. Also, it'd be hope to have the second season being inspired by CoD.
