I really wanted to enjoy this but Warren Ellis ignoring canon, adding unnecessary plot elements that don't add to the story, but do unnecessarily complicate it and turning characters 180° from the source material being Warren Ellis made it very hard. It's not bad as it's own thing but for some reason it doesn't feel like Castlevania to me.
But they did increase the amount of fanservice, I'll give them that.
I enjoyed the first season, this one I have mixed feelings about.

I can't quite explain it, but season 2 seems like they cut back on the animation. The lips didn't seem to sync even remotely decently, at least in the first couple episodes. Walking animations looked like I was watching Monkey Island. The art style seems much simpler as well. The frame rate was hella low to the point it was clear they skipped out on transitional frames (such as Carmilla taking her hood off). I went back and watched episode 1-1 just to see if they did the same in the beginning and I just forgot about it, but season 1 felt very different compared to season 2, even Lisa seems better in the first season. Season 2 just feel so much more simplified...


Question: Who was the bandaged demon Trevor fought with the minotaur and Malphas? Was that supposed to be demonified Grant or what?

So last night I finished my 63 hour work week and finally got to watch all of season 2. Here are my thoughts on it all. I wish I had more time to read everyone's posts, but... I am about to drive to work.

Hello all, been a while since I posted in here. Castlevania feels alive again, isn't it?

So, I have done watching the Netflix series and I'm beyond speechless by how well this was made, but this goes without it's flaws too.

Let's start with the pros:

But having said that at the end of the day its just grant, and really who is that much of a fan of grant yes he did help rebulid after the war. And I keep reading how Ellis as ruined this and that. But sometime, to give something new life you need to shake it up. I mean think If IGA id stuck with alucard's old back story, he would never have become such a fleshed out character, same with the count.

some could say that IGA just changed things to suit his own needs he took  stuff out of the canon, and all that added things, like take to an advertisement  for the first said the Simon's whip was baptized (I think they mean blessed)  No talk of a soul. But IGA added that later. And the list is endless.

some had a prob with him coming and changing things. But if  hadn't CV would never had grown. and its the same here, you need to change some things to let  these things evolve. And if you try and keep it the same then it will just die.

so what i'm saying is that  just give it chance.

Jesus Christ, dude. Doing an adaptation of Grant won't suddenly kill Castlevania or "lock it in the same" wtf level of snowball fallacy are we into.

No but at the same time, I really don't think it calls for this kind of fuss, cos at the end of day, he was the weak link, the one no one really cared about, he means so little that he's only been a in  a few games , he was missed out of Julius mode. So even IGA didn't think he was that great.. so come on just give it go.

They did bloody well and its nice seeing something new come out of CV
