Topic: Netflix Castlevania Animation: Cast Revealed

[EstebanT]

Should we be expecting something more today?  Maybe an official release of the leaked teaser?

They never confirmed anything. The tweet powerhouse posted is probably referring to the release date sadly...

July 7th marks the 1 YEAR Anniversary of #Castlevania on @Netflix! We'll be celebrating with a… BIG announcement coming later this week!

Shankar has just announced on Anime Expo that the second season drops in October 26th.

There was also a Season 2 teaser, but everyone not on the event got (expectedly) bamboozled via stream and saw nothing.

EDIT: Teaser has leaked. I'm pretty sure that you can see Grant in it this time. Including him being transformed into a monster.

EDIT: I think I also spotted Olrox.

Shit just got realz!!

Idle thought: Curse of Darkness with Netflix Trevor.

Funny, that was my thought in my recent playthrough upon reaching him in Garibaldi Cathedral.

Trevor:  Are you the devil-forgemaster?
Hector:  I am! Who wants to know?
Trevor:  I'm Trevor fucking Belmont.  And I've never lost a fight to man or fucking beast!

And of course the fact that by this point in time, his testicles have hardened up from god knows what and eloping with Sypha.

That bald guy has to be a forgemaster.
Hectors vest looks very similar in all of the Kojima artwork. But the simplified comic version resembles it even more.

Honestly didn't like the Netflix series much at all. I couldn't even finish the first eps all the way. Just got bored.

I honestly know what you mean. Having just watched it for the first time in the last few days, I have to say: it was good, but it just... felt like it was "off" somehow until that last episode when everything finally feels like Castlevania when Trevor fights Alucard. Up until that point I was rather bored, wondering when the Castlevania stuff was due to start. It's not really a "Castlevania" animated series, more like an animated "Road to Castlevania" story. I honestly don't know what all the fuss was about, but I'm glad there was a fuss because it got Konami to (sort of) take notice of the IP again, however briefly.

It doesn't help that basically the only voice actor I enjoyed was Sypha's.

Up until the last 15 minutes or so, it honestly gave me repeated flashbacks to the Dante's Inferno anime film, rather than Castlevania. I even watched said movie afterwards, just to confirm that's what I was feeling.

It was.

The length of the season was also another issue, but I hear the next one is double length, so that should alleviate the pacing issues. Now that we've got (most) of the gang together (poor, poor Grant), I'm hoping Season 2 will focus on fighting more Draculas and less Evil Church Folks. Fingers crossed.

I was hoping they'd finish the entirety of Dracula's Curse in Season 2, but confirmation of a Season 3 may not make that the case.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

I was hoping they'd finish the entirety of Dracula's Curse in Season 2, but confirmation of a Season 3 may not make that the case.

Why not?

There is still a very good possibility that Season 2 raps up the events of Dracula's Curse and if rumors are true it may even mix in a bit of Curse of Darkness as well.

Season 3 could end up covering the events of Symphony since the producers appear to be going fan favorite storyline route, also SOTN ties in to the events of CV3 due to Alucard so it would make sense, but honestly I would love for this to be a long running series and have them cover the storylines in order such as Adventure or CV1 and CV2 etc but I get the feeling this will not be a long running series and as such they are just going to probably do the storylines that are connected the most and those stories would probably be just CV3/CVCOD/CVSOTN/CVAOS.

[TatteredSeraph]

To be brutally honest, what were you hoping for?  Everything to be rushed through in a few episodes, with 1D characters with no motivation or background, no actual storytelling, and that's it?  I'd rather they take their time, give us actual characers and stories, and have something that can keep going. Castlevania has so much lore that's built up, it makes sense that they wove together parts of SotN with CVIII.  Season one, while I'd have liked more, was a prelude i many a way, it was getting the gang together. Remember that this originally started out way way back as a three part movie effectively.  To me you can see that in the structure of what that original idea evolved into.  It was also Netflix testing the water so garner the reception.I'm also very, very glad that they gave a whole episode to Dracula and Lisa's story.  Especially considering that so much of the games' lore hinges on the events of what happened, especially SotN onwards.

Because Trevor's voice actor is confirmed for season 3.  So its either still cv3, cod, or they're having one voice actor voice multiple Belmonts.  The last option seems unlikely to me.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

Because Trevor's voice actor is confirmed for season 3

You seem to be forgetting that Symphony featured Trevor (although VERY little) in a brief memory from Alucard and also the "Fake Trio" bosses, Trevor's VA could come back in a season 3 (should it adapt the events of SOTN) and voice the Fake Trevor who could have a bigger role in a SOTN anime adaption, my over all point is we can't discount the possibility of the CV3 Dracula's Curs events being wrapped up in season 2 and them moving on to another time period for Season 3.

The CV Twitter account keeps tweeting about the incoming blood moon. I'm guessing the trailer will debut on this day/night.

[theplottwist]

Next season's trailer is out.

Hector pretty much confirmed as hell. And it wasn't baldy. Also: Gaibon and Slogra.



EDIT: It seems Frederator screwed up and leaked the trailer too early. The link above won't work but yes, it was posted.

EDIT2: Problem solved.

Hyyype

[Chernabogue]

Holy fuck, that looks fantastic.

(SPOILERS)

Dracula mentions "generals". Could the woman be Carmilla? The bold one Orlox?
