Castlevania animated series on the way (again)

Takumaji · Feb 20, 2017

Nothing seems to have happened after the 2015 announcement Taiso posted about back then: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?260078-Castlevania-Animated-Series-On-The-Way

Now it seems they're going to release the series with four 30 mins. episodes per season on Netflix this year: https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/122622

Let's see whether it will come out this time. Anyone excited over this?

SML · Feb 20, 2017

This feels like it's been "on the way" since before 2015...

Okay, yeah. I thought I remembered this.

I'll check it out, certainly. I think of Warren Ellis as having a narrow, though deep, set of talents as a writer. They probably will mesh well with Castlevania. He's better than anyone has a right to expect for a project like this.

Don't care.

So when does it start?
Will it be the Simon Belmont timeline?
Will there be hidden waifus in the castle?
Will NGCDFreak ever stick to one avatar pic?

You deserve to be ghosted so fucking hard.

I remember seeing something about this on Facebook about the people from either Steven Universe or Adventure Time (I can't remember which one) working on it. I hope the animation isn't garbage like those shows though... Castlevania needed a proper series since the 80s.

The fuck, animation isn't garbage on those shows.

I heard a description of the series used the phrase "satirical take". Comedy and Castlevania does not go together. See Captain N The Game Master for example.

It didn't need one at all.

Dude those shows look like they are made in flash. Castlevania has some great artwork and style and it deserves to be very well animated.

Mario Bros, Captain N, Mega Man, Sonic, even Double Dragon had a cartoon series. I guess its just the fanboy in me coming out; I always wanted it to have an animated series with its dark atmosphere and monsters. Even as a kid I thought the version of Simon on Captain N was terrible.

+1 Vampire Hunter D was all the animated Castlevania love we needed growing up. Now if a serious metroid anime was on the table that'd be a different story...

Vampire Hunter D is what I think of as an animated Castlevania. That is the direction I am hoping they go.

From Pat?

Satire isn't always comedy. Warren Ellis is not the writer you hire if you don't want satire.

Mr Bakaboy · Feb 21, 2017

Yeah, personally can't see this done without being serious. Most storylines are depressing and desperate if you actually care to know the storyline. The only one I could think wasn't was Simon's in the first game, maybe Richter since the rescuing all the maidens and the Maria crap was a little more lighthearted even though he was rescuing his fiance, and maybe Portrait of Ruin with the brother/sister combo.

Montatez · Feb 22, 2017

I love Castlevania. One of my favorite franchises. They did a live action mini series a few years ago and I loved it!

This needs to be dark and gritty to survive.

I can get excited for this, but only to see how they do it. It seems like a wasted effort at this point, unless its adult themed. I could be wrong though.

And i hated how Belmont was in Captain N...

Lemony Vengeance · Feb 22, 2017

done by the same dude that did the live action MMPR with dawson in it, as well as the animated Judge Dreddd/Death miniseries? They were both EXCELLENT.

Adi Shankar is his name.

He also did The Punisher Dirty Laundry which was pretty good.

You could always watch the Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust movies, since Vampire Hunter D is one of the main inspirations for the Castlevania series.

Trailer for it just came out, supposed to come out in July.

GhostSeed · May 25, 2017

Looks way better than I was expecting.

Yodd · May 26, 2017

Totally looking forward to this.

Maybe it will make up for all the shit 3d Castlevania games. :keke:
