Adi Shankar to make Devil May Cry animated series, part of Castlevania multiverse

[Dream Machine]

Cool, but what?

 

[Trickster]

I'm okay with this

 

[KNZFive]

It's crazy how successful Castlevania has been as a Netflix series. I never would have thought to hear coworkers and especially my students talking about Castlevania with excitement in 2018.

Glad to see that success has led to other properties being greenlit.

Is this art for the show?

The show's going to be animated, and that's a photo of Shankar cosplaying, so no.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

:( The tweet though. Stop making Dante edgey.

Shankar is an edgelord so it fits

Put Nero in it and this is awesome news!

HYPE

 

[EssBeeVee]

i thought that was matthew patel from Scott Pilgrim movie

 

[Arttemis]

I thought this was going to be a Zelda show?

What the heck does Castlevania multi-verse mean?

Big fan of the Netflix show.

Nothing. Adi Shankar is weird and talks about all the stuff he makes as being part of a 'bootleg universe'.

 

[Parthenios]

What's the next game series that fits in with Castlevania and Devil May Cry that can be added? Bayonetta?

 

[tsampikos]

I am so down for the bootleg universe.

 

[mael]

I knew Capcom and Konami were the same thing in the end!

 

[Plywood]

holy shit

i just hope the animation quality improves though. season 2 of castlevania was flames and had some great action in episode 7 but it still looked a bit cheap and choppy

 

[Deleted member 2802]

>he acquired these (Devil May Cry) rights myself so the jabronis in Hollywood don't f*** this one up too

Sold
This guy is awesome

 

[Cow Mengde]

Do Fire Emblem next!

 

[Sesha]

Lol. I mean, with the incredible Madhouse animated series from years ago, why do we need this again? Granted, Castlevania was amazing but it didnt have any animated series to begin with.

The Madhouse show was 10 years ago, and was garbage.

I know it's going to be an animation. The picture looked like an animation too on my phone lol.

I just hope this looks better than Castlevania. That show had some really nice stills and backgrounds, but often times had that gross "american cartoon look" and even the best fight sequences were choppy as hell.

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

YES!

Now gimme an RE show next damn it.

I'm just glad a creator who is a gamer is making it.

Otherwise you get stuff like Pixels and Assasin's Creed

 

[gfxtwin]

Devil May Cry was always the best 3D Castlevania game, so this extended universe idea sounds good to me.

 

[0VERBYTE]

But Zel..da...*sniiff*

Very true. If this is as good as CV I will be happy.

 

[Bradford]

It's going to be the latter. I really, really wouldn't expect any crossovers. (in fact, the thread title is still kind of inaccurate because he said "bootleg multiverse," not "Castlevania multiverse")

Click to shrink...

Yeah, I figured this was the case. Still, I'm glad Shankar is getting to work on projects he is passionate about because he definitely seems to care about them.

 

[MilkBeard]

Holy shit. I'll watch anything he does. I enjoyed Castlevania.

We don't even know if this is the same animation team

KeanuWoah.Gif

 

[Saifu]

Is it going to be animated by the same studio that animated Castlevania though?
The last thing I want is some 3DCG bullshit...

Basically, over the years he's going add more videogame properties and it's all going to build towards an R-rated bootleg Captain N crossover movie.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Thank god it's DMC and not Zelda.

 

[ZiZ]

Nooo! Keep them seperate.
