Castlevania Season 3 | OT | Out now! (Open spoilers) [UPDATE: Season 4 announced! See threadmarks!]
- Thread starter Kalentan
- Start date
I always like when amongst the more generic beasts you suddenly get a classic vania staple just rock up looking just like they did in the games and with the same attack...
Didn't think I'd see him animated again after the Dawn of Sorrow opening, maybe he leaves a strong impression.

This has been my main gripe with the series from the start, I mean sure the english muffle speak is on point, I can confirm, but yes it's something of a pain at times.
Season was alright, but I think I liked S2 a little more.
Given that Netflix shows are almost always shuttered by 5th seasons, I don't think we're getting that adaptation.
Was racking my brain when St. Germain was going through the time corridor. I get that those weren't straight-up references, but I nearly jumped, thinking that thing was a Metal Gear.

They could end this version of Castlevania... and start a sequel series.
That could/would be ideal. Hopefully they go for it, because God knows I'm not getting my Castlevania fix any other way.
It's a shame knowing that there's always gonna be untapped potential for tackling other Vania entries here
Most jump to the obvious Rondo and Symphony combo, but let's take time to imagine the still unseen battle of 1999 leading to Aria and Dawn of Sorrow as the true hook, and you'd still get your alucard fix, and another Belnade! (but not Hammer, he gets Grant'd)
...and a random OVA for Eccelsia because Shanoa, Albus and Barlowe deserve it dammit!

This season was setup and character development and making sure everyone is in the right spot for Season 4 which will be the full conclusion of everyone's arcs (likely).
Just watched the last episodes.
Was nice to see some monster cameos like

Ctuthulu, Legion or the Fire Demon.
Alucard was pretty angry, Hector crushed, Trevor and Sypha lost hope in humanity. I wonder how this will continue.

Quite a bit from world building to characterization to set up and so on. There is quite a bit going on of some importance this series even if it doesn't have much to do with killing Dracula.
I was really looking forward to this season. I was very afraid to see where they where going once Dracula was over by season 2. The premise (Carmilla building an army and such) and the reviews got me hyped, but it was very disappointing, tbh.
Also,
. I thought that most of the season felt like a drag compared to S2.
Also,
Alucard's story with the japanese vampire hunters was the worst
I'd actually be cool with another creative team doing another series on a different Belmont and era. I love me some Warren Ellis and what the animation teams have done but would be cool to get something with a different tone, focus and maybe even animation style.
Why were the twins in such a rush?
Enjoyed the season but didn't seem as good as the previous 2 but then again I really did love Dracula.
Feel so bad for Hector and Alucard

They aren't twins, everyone just assumed haha.
As for why they were in a rush? After living under a cruel vampire they set out to Europe to find the mythical: "Alucard" and along the way they were constantly lied and betrayed by people. So when they get to Alucard and he's not just giving them everything instantly, they feel as though he's doing the same thing all the other people that did bad by them and so if he wouldn't give them everything they would kill him and take it anyway.

They seemed so intent on moving the castle and he agreed to teach them some magic. Just seems confusing when he is teaching them but they wanna learn everything instantly and it isn't going their way they try to kill him?
You think they were trying to kill him from the start but Alucard was too good so they played this game with him?
I just called them twins because I saw everyone else doing it lol. Kinda don't even feel bad at the end with both of them being on stakes.

So, I like this show a pretty good amount.
Not because of the setting or the video game connection or anything, just because the writing is pretty good.
I'm free tonight, my partner is out of town, I'm home alone with the TV.
I barely watch anime. Someone recommend another series (on a streaming service, Netflix Hulu etc.) for me to watch.
I have seen Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, and Code Geass.

Watching Episode 6...
Did I just see
Did I just see
Saint Germain witness a Metal Gear walking in the plains, and a shattered moon with space ship in reference to Contra or Gradius?
Them not being twins makes no sense to me and seems like a cop out. They're the only ones with those specific features and are damn near identical right down to eyebrows, skin tone and clothing and none of the other japanese people shown shared those features let alone to that degree. They were definitely intended to be siblings.
Oh and the funniest line of the season is in fact "What the fuck is that?". I burst out laughing when that line dropped.
That's like this? You could watch the Vampire Hunter D films, the sequel is an animation showcase though the story is a bit so so.

Doesn't have to be "like this" as in fighting monsters. Just needs to be well written and interesting.
Don't see Vampire Hunter D streaming.

the fact that joke is carried on the whole episode makes it better honestly
Petition to change the OT title to "The Adventures of Belnades and Belmont".
Saw this is #5 in the US today, glad it's doing well!

It wasn't just children. It was anyone who disrupted the order of the town from tiny to large. But he wasn't able to touch the priory (and they would not listen to him) and so that's why he was happy to get his little revenge at the end there.
Also...
I want someone to write this... easter egg spoiler:
I say they keep this main series going on and every other year throw in another era as a movie or mini-series. Everyone loves a shared universe!
I honestly thought it was a shout out to Alien.
What was up with the people running to the Aztec temple?

Funniest line for me was "Shhhhh. The real people are talking."
With all this talk of Hell I do wonder if we ever actually see Lucifer in some form
It's a great show but it can make Castlevania seem light hearted lol

I was really hoping this season would end with a sense of that coming, but it's clear Season 4 will basically still be in Curse of Darkness adjacent territory. Too many unresolved plotlines.
I just watched the episode again after finishing the season... and yup,
large bipedal robot roaming African plain with the sound of whirring gears.
The alien ship rising from the jungle in the shape of a"C" may be a stretch, but I'm all for the Easter Eggs and shared universe. I even saw a Moai head in the old man's shop where Isaac received his mirror.
No idea who the 8 people were by the Aztec building. Wild Aztec slot machines? Lol

Overall, great season. Loved the writing. I really hope the season wins the show some awards.
I really liked it but
I really hope that next season is the end for this cast of characters, not that I don't like them or anything, but I really want to see the show move on into adapting other Belmonts and such.
Maybe, but I hope if the ratings, reviews, and attachment rate for viewers is high they'll keep pumping out the show. I could see the current characters receive 1-2 more seasons, and then I would love to see future seasons focus on a timeline skip.
And if not, maybe we'll see a movie-length special for SOTN.
Why does everyone talk so damn slow? A 2 minute scene gets stretched out with long pauses all of the time. Talk. Faster!
Saw season 3 was out on Netflix so I started the first episode. I gotta say it is odd watching this show late at night when you are dead tired with headphones on. Everyone is so soft spoken and somewhat reserved with all their delivery. That it really puts me to sleep. Not in a bad way mind you haha
Whoops, he is. Bill Nighy is Saint Germain.
Still a great performance by Jason Isaacs though. He was also in both Lord of Shadows.
