I was joking, but the point is it doesn't need to be rebooted boy!!


for all we know DoS could've also been a pitch for a CV animated series, and you'd be lying if you say you wouldn't have watched it despite negative feedback or whatever!

I don't think they need to have the "Sorrow" games rebooted. They just need to remove 'Dawn' from the series and that should fix things just fine. But If they wanted to bring AoS up to par with it's console counterparts, then I've no problems with that. It would give them a chance to put in some more depth to the story and characters. Like Soma vs Death.

Really? was there a CV anime being planned? =O I would wake up sat 5am to watch it  ;D (Seriously!)
I think the last scene was greatly damaged, it was very impressive and somewhat shocking (Celia was CRUCIFIED in FLESH!!) but the overall anime spirit ruined it for me.

i think the problem with dos isnt so much its anime but that the castle is completely bland save for the lost village and that the game just bloats up aos's gameplay with more grinding

so it's like well okay
huh... its true, the castle IS bland. And that piano room has such wasted potential. Could have been a cool extra or puzzle or something.

The animu style was bland, (because PoR's was nice,) The castle was bland, and the story was... Well, bland. Saturday morning cartoon bland.

I also personally didnt like Soma's new look. Especially in the crappy animu style.

And maybe Im just nitpicking here, but many of the tunes were forgettable. Just a few stood out. Mainly The town's theme, The beginning, Bloody Tears, (one of the best Bloody tears ever IMO) the regular chapel theme... Illusory Dance, maybe a scant few more. (I was slightly disappoint by the lack of Heart of Fire, but eh, what can you do.)
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

I'm not really sure why people want the bad ending from DoS to be canon. Then they will repeat the same tired plot over and over again, and the only difference would be that Dracula is now JAPANESE.   



Years of plot development well spend Konami.  >:( 

Agree. I wouldn't like Soma's story to end the same way Dracula's did.
