What if, instead of what I said in the previous thread, the next Castlevania team decides to go full anime and the game ends up resembling more current anime designs than traditional Castlevania?Like anime anime? I'd feel bummed !
How would biggest Iga fans react? Would they like it or would they believe it is also too much?
Please don't fight, I'm just making new fun threads :)
oh god imagine a Moe style Castlevania....

Whatever was wrong with Kojima's art?
Especially POR. Charlotte's Angry Face haunts me still. :rollseyes:
Whatever was wrong with Kojima's art?
Too many androgynous men with rather deformed body forms.I'll grant you that. But it's the best we have.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you......Berserk has design roots in the 80s, and kept the general art direction even well into the 90s. That being said, of course it looks good. My personal favorite styles of anime originate from the 80s and 90s. I mean, even the anime-esque designs of Richter in RoB or the designs in Bloodlines(which are pretty anime/manga-esque) are pretty badass. Hell, I'd take that and chibi, cutesy Maria over the style see in DoS and PoR(which seems more "safe" and lacking soul). Hell, even more than that dude that does Death Note. I mean, hell, if not Berserk, maybe something City Hunter, M.D Geist, Ghost in the Shell(movie) and the VHD movies.

...over the sound of how awesome that could be. (if done right)
What do you mean by "Current anime designs"?
Because from what i see, most current anime designs are pretty bland shitty moeblob stuffs, because that's what the otakus want, and the otakus are the entire market.
Brothers Conflict, Free!, Saint Seiya Omega and Shingeki no Kyojin are actual anime and aren't moeblob.
Brothers Conflict, Free!, Saint Seiya Omega and Shingeki no Kyojin are actual anime and aren't moeblob. That's not exactly what all otakus want (I agree that great part of them are like that) and they dint are completely the entire market, there is people that watch it casually too, they are minority but they still count :PI don't think ANY of those you listed have the right "style" for a CV anime(or anime based game). That's just me, though. It has little to do with my actual liking of them too. I love One Piece and Saint Seiya, but those styles are TOTALLY wrong for CV. It's like getting Akira Toriyama to as lead artist from the next CV. I love Toriyama's style(I know some dislike it, but I've always respected it and love it for what it is), but it's just no right for Castlevania. I'd go for something darker, more mature style. An anime style that focuses on more on tight designs and less accented facial features, yet highly detailed.
I didnt mentioned Naruto, One Piece and Toriko on purpose, since they are a trend, we call it "modinha" here, its like something that is overated, is good but not like someone else says, but people say that its that cool ONLY because they hear another people saying this and they want to be part of something. So I try to ignore these series a bit, even if they are interesting, their Brazilian fanbase at least in some percentage acts like weaboos.
It would have to be done in the right style definitely.I agree. An anime style CV can work if the style was similar to the series you mentioned. The Hellsing Ultimate series is one of my favorites.
I like anime, but certain anime style does not fit CV and I felt what was wrong with CVDOS and CVPOR was that it had that "camply" anime flare to it.
For me, it would have to be a more dark and gothic style of anime similar to Berserk,Trinity Blood, or Hellsing for example.
I didn't like Bloodlust's style. I liked Madhouse when they worked with Satoshi Kon. But I didn't like their style in Bloodlust.
I'll grant you that. But it's the best we have.Good old user downvoting posts just for the sake of doing it (but without posting his own opinion).
Even so, take Kojima's Aria cast, and place it next to what was done in Dawn. It isn't even comparable.
The point is, we haven't exactly seen anime Castlevania truly "done right". Think what you will about RoB, but DoS and PoR weren't exactly artistically stellar. Fundamentally, I wouldn't mind the transition, if it were done tastefully. But I can't quite picture it being done that way.
What do you mean by "Current anime designs"?Well, I guess everyone chooses what kind of anime, since I didn't specified it well. But I was thinking about something like the anime I usually watch. Like Sora No Otoshimono, Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka or High School DxD, only with CV background.
Because from what i see, most current anime designs are pretty bland shitty moeblob stuffs, because that's what the otakus want, and the otakus are the entire market.
Why not just make a CV anime at that point also? I'd be behind that. something resembling vampire Hunter D or Hellsing Ultimate or something.
How about the Fate series?While I like the Fate series, I would steer clear of anything Type-Moon related. I think the general art style is less fitting of the CV series(IMO). Of course, that's my perspective on the matter.

You mentioned BroCon!?! damn... I should really watch that one. Wait, have you watched it?
I'd buy a Castlevania game if Madhouse did the artwork and it was in Satoshi Kon's style. It has to be Yoshitaka Amano's style or Satoshi Kon's style, no other way around it.
Only a few seconds but I have these episodes in my PC, lack of time sucks =X
Studios dont define artwork style so that really doesnt matter, also Madhouse worked in Death Note so if thats really would be really relevant, Judgement welcomes you. :P

I'm not really a fan of that serious anime style (like the Nathan artwork).Quite frankly, I don't care for the either designs, personally. Rosario + Vampire has a generic anime look. Hellsing, the anime itself isn't bad, but I was never a fan of the character designs.
I don't know how to put it. I like Rosario to Vampire character designs and general look, but I don't like Hellsing (and here I prepare for an avalanch of -1 and insults :P).
Quite frankly, I don't care for the either designs, personally. Rosario + Vampire has a generic anime look. Hellsing, the anime itself isn't bad, but I was never a fan of the character designs.I just love that kind of modern generic anime design (RtV, SnO, HSDxD, KWZdk...).
Brothers Conflict, Free!, Saint Seiya Omega and Shingeki no Kyojin are actual anime and aren't moeblob>Free
I just love that kind of modern generic anime design (RtV, SnO, HSDxD, KWZdk...).That's fine if you like it. I personally believe there is a place for everthing(as well as every type of art style). You just gotta know what works best. That also means not everything will work or at least work to be beneficial. I see it like, the dreamers idea of building a house on the beach where your yard can meet the ocean is a fantasy that sound beautiful if, in reality, it wasn't impossible, because you have to be realistic about the tide and such. Sometimes things just don't fit or mix well, and will never.
I tend to dislike different kind of artwork in anime, I'm a little close minded with that, I can't help it.
90s had more style than just Saber's.
To me a big part of the series charm is that, like Berserk, Castlevania is a work that takes cliche Western horror and fantasy ideas and gives them a fresh twist partly because the author(s) are coming from a different cultural perspective. When done well the anime style is just a more pronounced expression of the Eastern influences that help make the series special.I completely agree with that.
90 is like Saber J and I like it (not for a CV game though).Yes, it is! It reminded me instantly about SJtoX!
