Castlevania

I just finished this on Netflix, Honestly I thought it was pretty good. It did feel a little weak/ aimless mid season 3 but quickly picked back up. It was refreshing to see American animation that didn't go full blown humour. The violence/action scenes were better than most anime and the animation was beautiful and had impact
>punches felt like they landed ect.
I give it a solid 8/10. What did you anons think?

It is shit.
>punches felt like they landed ect.
No, the Dracula fight was shit because they relied too much on punches despite having fucking claws.

I meant when something was hit it felt like there was weight to it. Also you were disappointed by the Dracula fight? I guess that's a fair critique.

The animation was real nice especially in the final fight and Legion.
I really liked the characterization of Trevor, Sypha, St. Germain, and Isaac. The vampire antagonists are the weakest parts for me and I just want to see them move with their plan so that they can be BTFO'd. Alucard also had an extremely bland side plot that really could've just excused him from the season to rest. Didn't care about the hunters or Hector kinda being played but maybe he'll turn the tables we'll see.

A lot of people hated the village head's reveal of being a murderer but I found it fitting to nail in that bleak hopeless tone the ending gave in contrast to Trevor and Sypha's gleeful season debut.

Glad they didn't cave in to poly degenerates (heard it's Konami that stepped in and wanted Trevor and Sypha preserved for each other) Hopefully it stays monogamous.

I'm sorry i hate anime too much to ever give this show a chance, it crosses the line on trying too hard to look like an anime

They don't use any Castlevania music. Soulless.

I can't imagine being such a faggot that you browse a place like Zig Forums for animation, but have no interest in anime.

The early 80's anime influence is there but see a lot of western sensibilities taken into account. Honestly reminds me more of a early 2000's fox animated movie.

I don't give a shit what you think, I had an anime phase when i was in middle school and I'm not interested in getting back into that dorky terribly written weeaboo crap, no matter how insecure you are about the fact that people still find anime cringe as fuck

Says the man who fucking watches cartoons, lmao.

"lmao", you don't know what I watch actually, maybe you should stop projecting, considering you're here too

It's not anime and you're on a cartoon and comics board...

So you don't watch cartoons. But you're on Zig Forums? Damn dude. Zig Forums too spicy for you?

I literally said I know it's not anime but I wouldn't expect a weeaboo to know how to read above a third grade level

How stupid are you?

not everyone lives on one board obsessively bro

On a cartoon board acting high and mighty about not watching cartoons.

Yeah, but your post implied you thought it was written like anime. Listen I'm not here to argue with you I just want to share an interesting show with you user. You're the one getting mad in a thread, about a topic your uninterested in, that you willingly wntered. But hey, maybe my weaboo brain is too small to understand.

>Glad they didn't cave in to poly degenerates (heard it's Konami that stepped in and wanted Trevor and Sypha preserved for each other) Hopefully it stays monogamous.
The show was ruined since season 2. I didn't think season 1 was perfect but there was such a stark difference in quality and tone that I thought that it was ghostwritten.

Imagine how the rewrites were like.
>Then we reveal that the priest actually pedophi-no.
>How about I imply that Isaac's demon forging powers comes from the prophet Mo-NO.
>Then the Japanese twins ra-NO!

I never thought about it but I guess you're right, It probably could have been better. Still enjoyed it though.

Yeah nobody on this board with taste watches almost any cartoon that's come out in the last ten years, most of us are here for nostalgia cartoons, or capeshit. you're the odd one for actually caring about garbage like any cartoon currently airing on the disney channel. or castlevania.

Did you just speak for a board?

no one has EVER done that before, newfag

Fuck Christfags and fuck Jap Westaboo Christfag sympathizers like Koji Igarashi

[insert obligatory joke about Alucard getting fucked in the ass here]

The first episode of season one is amazing. The rest of the season is lackluster at best, and when you understand it was written a decade ago when it was going to be a movie and the first episode was written a few years ago to expand it to 'series' length it makes sense.

Season 2 is easily in my top ten favorite things on Netflix. I don't give two shits what people want to say about it. It took everything that worked and expanded the fuck out of it. The foyer scene with the remix of Bloody Tears and the three hunters tearing apart vampires is amazing. And any show that dedicates an entire episode just to resolving things, ending on an uncomfortably long shot of a sympathetic character crying deserves to be talked about.

Season 3 is an interesting idea, but I'm not so sure it will pan out. It has one of the worst versions of the Count of Saint Germaine I've seen in any medium ever, and I can't disagree with anyone who hates the fact that the main characters spend a few days in a village, accomplishing little. But the way it expands the world is fascinating, and the decisions it made to reinforce the themes are legitimately interesting. Issac meeting archetypes instead of people, for example, which flavored the encounters with his own preconceptions. And yes, Hector's enslavement was cliched, but on the other hand I would never have imagined Jessica Brown Findlay as a vampire and got a new fetish out of the deal.

So yes: overall I'd say it's a 7 out of 10. Season 1 is a 6 because nothing lives up to the promise of the first jaw dropping episode, season 2 is a 9 because it might as well be a textbook example of expanding a universe, and season 3 is a 7 because for every good idea (Alucard's fall, Carmilla's world, Issac's journey) there is a bad one (was that a Blackbird from X-Men? Saint Crapmaine, poorly defined hell will come back to bite them later).

I'm excited to see where they go, but concerned as well.

Felt that the quality dropped sharply in additional seasons. Started off really strong though, I'd say about a 6.5/10. Last season in particular felt like nothing really progressed the plot much and was just filler.

I watched season one and got bored half way through season 2, then turns our ones a fag so I have no desire to return. Honestly the show looks nice but it’s boring as spit, plus they make Dracula’s action entirely justified and I can’t see him as a villain so find the whole need to kill him retarded

The animation is 3 fps. The protagonists have reddit/tumblr personalities.

>The violence/action scenes were better than most anime and the animation was beautiful and had impact
I felt like the fight choreography was actually quite weak.
There isn’t a good understanding about the flow of a good fight scene, and if you rewatch scenes like the trio taking on the vampires in the castle you notice a number of the vampires just doing one move, then standing around and not fighting back as one of the heroes slowly retaliates and kills them.
Sypha’s fighting style made the least amount of sense to me, as she gets in close range and has the reflexes to dodge and weave through everyone’s attacks even if they’re supernaturally enhanced but pretty much attacks only with ranged magic—except for that part at the end of the fight where she incinerates that final vampire by running up to him while he stands there, putting her hand on his head and roasting him, but that just brings up my former point of why did he stand there and let her do that. If you want to convey that she was too fast for him to react it wasn’t done well.

Haven’t finished season 3, but I thought Trevor and Sypha’s fight with the demons at the beginning was also oddly executed, with similarly clunky choreography and what I felt was kind of a weird choice with how Trevor beat his demon—the demons were conveyed to be physically stronger, and Trevor gets smacked around a bit, but when I expected him to outdo the demon in smarts or skill he just ends up dismembering him with his bare hands.
