I cant wait.

4 episodes wasn't enough last season but man were they high quality.

Best video game adaptation might have ever seen in animation.

Let's go.

Also, #Simon4Smash

Maybe a Simon Belmont smash reveal to go with it?

I'm not sure if you're intentionally misspelling what I wrote, or if you're getting a little too high and mighty in your own thread, but calm the fuck down. I'm just really looking forward to the show coming back. Kind of like you, my dude.
I edited my post seconds later. My phone autocorrected the word. I was not trying to be funny. I'm genuinely curious of the term you used. English is not my first language and I'm all for trying to learn new words.

Is season 2 still expected in July? Also I wonder if we are getting all 8 at once or if they are going to split it into two sets of 4.

I still hope this somehow results in fans getting an adaptation of Symphony of the Night from the same team. That'd be so awesome.

Thanks for educanting me on that, truly didn't about this.
Yeah. This also means that when you watch it in English you're actually watching the original language track and not a dub translated from Japanese.

Hell, in Netflix Mexico they didn't even provide the option of listening to the JP dub of the show even if we wanted to (I assume it was the same in the US). But since JP isn't the original track they aren't including it in evey region.

Ellis is still the writer, right? That continues to be the most fascinating thing about this for me, I honestly didn't expect Warren Ellis writing a Castlevania adapration.

Tho that goat conversation makes it pretty obvious.

It's nice to see that someone still cares about Castlevania, even though Konami doesn't. The first season was short, but really good.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first season. It's not without its faults, but as someone who hasn't played any Castlevania games, it really managed to pull me in. The last half in particular. Looking forward to season 2.

Based on past interviews with Warren Ellis, I would not expect him to be strictly limited by the contents of the games in any slavish manner. Instead, he will keep mixing in his own ideas all the way. Which is fine by me, but folks should keep that in mind.

first season reminded me of those early/mid 90s anime OVAs. it was like unearthing a time capsule or something

still in disbelief a no nonsense, 2D animated "adult" castlevania exists in 2018. can't wait for more

That's fine by me but this is Castlevania. A series known for its amazing and memorable music. Use some of it, please! It's as part of the franchise as Dracula and the Belmonts are.

The only bad part of Season 1 was no iconic music, which is a pillar of what Castlevania is.
We need Vampire Killer god damnit.

This show really proves American animation should go for more action series with this kind of style
I am so sick of stiff, ugly toon style of say South Park (thought it has grown on me) or Bojack or Archer

Why are Simpsons/Futurama the only ones that look different?

They don't even use music from the games in the show and people are talking about Konami releasing a game alongside the second season. Don't get your hopes up.

Agreed although the actual animation was subcontracted to Asia I think. But yeah had this show looked like, say, Rick & Morty I wouldn't have been able to stomach the look.

My hopes are limited to a quick and easy Castlevania Compilation that'd need a minimum investment from Konami and would sell piggybacking off of the show. I don't think even this is asking too much from Konami but we'll see.

Yes! I'm going to renew my sub to Netflix for a month when this comes out. The first season was really good.

And please give me more Alucard.

Why is that a GIF? It's static. That shit really annoys me. People who post videos of still images on Facebook and stuff. I know why they do it, but it sucks.

Either way, looking forward to this.

didn't really enjoy the 1st season so i'll pass
This seriously got a WHAT reaction from me. You've maybe replied already, but I'm really curious about what you didn't like. I thought it was extraordinary.

There's blood dripping at the edge of the image, although this definitely isn't especially representative of flowing.

I can't believe Konami hasn't jumped on putting out some 8 bit game akin to the Bloodstained prequel to coincide and make some $

Loved the casual gore and dismemberment in the first one. Was waiting to hear about Season 2.

Been waiting for this, I loved how they nailed the original four episodes. I look forward to Alucard nut kicking someone in a desperate moment.

This show isn't technically anime. The animation may be done in Asia (South Korea?) but its production, writing and direction comes from the US not unlike Avatar and Legend of Korea did with Nickelodeon.

Actually this series AFAIK from my search is animated in America. Powerhouse Animation Studios who did the series is down in Texas.

I'll have to look it up but I think I read somewhere they contracted at least part of the animation to Asia with the studio in the US in charge of everything else including character designs and what not. But dont quote me on this, I'll have to look it up.
