Dancing Mog Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Looking forward to hearing more info about this once it's on track and the spiritual successor Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night I am highly anticipating next year. Quote Link to comment
The Guardian Mew Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hoping this actually happens. Netflix has a handle on producing good shows. Quote Link to comment
K Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm hoping this turns out well. I think with it being animated and not being a movie automatically means it has a better chance at being good a tthe very least. Also not being made by uwe boll Quote Link to comment
JanusDS Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Gonna stay cautiously optimistic............in other words, I'll give it a look-see when it drops on Netflix Quote Link to comment
Sir Grim Locksmith VIII Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I don't know how this can possibly work given the recent history of the company the franchise spawned from. Ideally, at least for me, it would be something resembling the Kevin Sorbo Hercules series just with more Gothic scenery. But again, I wouldn't get my hopes up for a Konami property these days. Edit: I take my Sorbo comment back considering this appears to be an animated series. My apologies. Edited February 9, 2017 by Sir Grim Locksmith VIII Quote Link to comment

EH_STEVE Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Quote Netflix’s description of the series says it follows “the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself.” Producer Adi Shankar also confirmed to IGN that the show is an adaptation of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. Quote “This is very much Castlevania done in the vein of Game of Thrones. (Producer and writer) Warren Ellis added so much depth to the material. [The series is] going to be R-rated as f***. … this is going to be the best f*****g video game adaptation we’ve had to date. The Guardian Mew 1 Quote Link to comment
blcdude1 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I like most things about this, Castlevania could be a great groundwork for a TV show and Ellis writes some excellent stuff. I took some time to think about "the western world's first good video game adaptation," claim. Outside of "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" I'm struggling to think of anything else that might lay claim to distinction. Am I overlooking something? Quote Link to comment

Earthworm Jim? lol Also, apparently they're taking inspiration from Akira and Young Justice for tone setting. Quote Link to comment
Eliwood8 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Warren Ellis's involvement certainly makes this sound interesting. Quote Link to comment

Dancing Mog Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I saw another article talking about someone involved w/ the Castlevania TV series pitched something about a darker version of the Power Ranger series and I think they did like a 12 minute thing a couple years ago revealing a darker side I think, should try to find that again. Really hope this CV series works out though I am not a huge fan of the old school titles as I was more into the series after I played SotN. Quote Link to comment

Yellow Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I hope it's cool like the first season of daredevil, and not uncool like the second season of daredevil. Freakin' hate that season. Quote Link to comment
