Huh, I was under the impression they would wrap up all of Dracula's Curse in four episodes. That soundtrack listing suggests otherwise.

Sounds like the last episode of season 1 will be Trevor vs Alucard.

Certainly it is, exactly how the leaked script described it. That image that leaked of the three heroes walking towards the camera? 50 Trumps it is the very last scene of the show.

Which means we may yet see Grant.

An alucard battle at the end of the season?  I wonder how many people unfamiliar with Castlevania will think that Trevor made it to the end boss and it's actually dracula, like some people when first playing the game. 

Uh-oh, I saw the word "goat" in one of the sound track titles.

[Dremn]

Yeah I noticed that too. I never read the full script but I trust you guys when you say it's as bad as you all say it is...

I gave in to temptation and watched some of those clips.  So far, I'm impressed.  Dracula and Lisa sound brilliant, even though I was expecting a slightly softer voice for Lisa.  Those intro credits though.... just wow.  The animation style isn't what I expected, but it's perfect.  I love how it's playing on the suspicions of everyone, and how even the heroes are outcasts on the fringe of society.  I love how the various things depicted shift and flow into one another.  Beautiful.

I'm wondering though whether the blood running down Alucard's chest in the credits, plus the scar seen in the fight clip, suggest that it's from where Dracula ripped out his soul.

So no classic tracks practically confirmed. Unless they pull a Lords of Shadow and sneak 3 seconds of a tune somewhere in there.

[TatteredSeraph]

To be honest, I don't mind if the music goes in its own direction, perhaps with only at most nods to the classic tunes.  Different music styles work in different contexts.  Let the series breathe on its own a bit, and have its own style.  I wasn't entirely won over by the cedits music on its own initially, but seeing it with the animation in place changed my mind somewhat, and I feel that the music works.  I'd love to hear some reworkings of the classic songs, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.  I'm also very fond of some of LoS's music, which I feel worked for those games.

All I'm saying is Castlevania 3 without Grant or Beginning is just... not right.

[AlexCalvo]

I feel like a lot of people in this thread have poor reading comprehension, or they just think the people who've been following the project for over a decade are just talking out of our behinds...  I mean how can anyone following this thread be surprised by the fact that season 1 won't finish the Cv3 story, me and plot, and many others have been telling you that since like page 2...  Grant will show up, they've just rearranged the story.  They want Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard to come together before heading to the castle, which makes much more sense from a storytelling standpoint.  Gives us more time to get to know the characters, and for them to interact.  I really don't think the first hour and a half of this series just focusing on Trevor walking and whipping would have been very entertaining...

Given the fact that Grant has been captured/transformed into a guard for Dracula we won't be seeing him until the trio starts the march, which seems to be where season 1 will finish.  Given that season 2 is 8 episodes, I am guessing it will cover the rest of Cv3's story.  It was 3 movies, now it's 12 episodes, each movie adapted into 4 episodes.  I expect Grant to appear pretty early in season 2.  As he originally was meant to show up in the 2nd movie.

sypha is love interest

love interests need more time to develop than a side character

[Dremn]

Wow, some spoilers in here. Chill guys some of us didn't read the old script.

[EstebanT]

I just noticed the chest scar on Alucard form the 300 year old concept art.

Here's a new track, but just like the Main Title it's probably better with context.

I actually like it a lot. Reminds me of some of the music from SCVIV.
