The show with the Belmont

Discussion

So I'm finishing up a rewatch of the original Netflix show and figured I'd share some super-informed and well thought-out insights into the show.

It needs more frames! I didn't notice the first time because I hadn't watched animation for quite a while outside of Pixar films, which cost a little more than this show probably did. Anyway, I've seen some really good examples of television animation this year (Pantheon, Common Side Effects, the Critical Role shows) that looked much more fluid. Maybe nVidia could spare a few cycles to remaster this show.

Otherwise, The first two seasons felt more recognizably Castlevania to me, but I played the NES games where Dracula was the big bad, so getting rid of him was a choice. I enjoyed the later seasons much more this time around. Were seasons 3 + 4 inspired by later games?

I'm glad the show was made, and still amazed how good it was. Castlevania 3 was, I think, the only NES game I got after getting a Genesis, and probably it was better than anything out on the Genesis at that time. Getting to see Trevor, Alucard and Syfa on-screen doing their 8-bit badassness was great. I'm still a little miffed about Simon not getting a show, it's not his fault Castlevania 2 was confusing to play!

I suppose I should check out the second show now. Is it finished?
