Plot Twist's Something or the Other

This is something by me, btw, nothing official. I only want to see how the Dungeon reacts to it before I explain exactly what it is.

Also, a pair of specific someones in this Dungeon deserves MAD props for helping me with this, but I'm not going to tell who they are or what they did just yet (and I'll ask them to say nothing on the matter yet :) ).

So... what's the title? I can't read moonrunes. :V

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

I'm with VladCT, what does it say?
"Spirituality is God's gift to humanity...
Religion is Man's flawed interpretation of Spirituality given back to humanity..."

Pretty sure the top text says "Akumajo Dracula".

Here's to make you dudes' lifes easier. This is the subtitle in an easier to copy-paste fashion:

Here's to make you dudes' lifes easier. This is the subtitle in an easier to copy-paste fashion:

本影のエレジー
Right, arming myself with jisho.org the "X no Y" apparently translates to the following:
本影 = Umbra
エレジー = Elegy
So it could be translated to "Elegy of Shadows" or something like that, which tells us exactly fuck all, as per the norm with most of IGA's titles. :V

The teaser sprite does look suspiciously like a younger Julius though...

Ok, the title up there translates to "Elegy of Umbra" just like you translated it. So the romanization is "Demon Castle Dracula: Elegy of Umbra"

Now, this title and the logo's design details DO tell a lot of what's going on... Umbra refers to something very specific, and not just "darkness".
