I watched all of this show and didn't really enjoy any of it for what it was. It's a very good case-study of the bad media of our time though. Worth seeing just to appreciate how you can screw something like this up. Animation is serious work, a lot of man-hours would have gone into creating four seasons of this show and what was it all for? The closest thing we have to a persistent creative vision across all seasons is a desire for an immature autist to smash his stupid OCs together like action figures. I couldn't detect any real interest in the castlevania games, the multimedia lore of the character of dracula, human drama, or even good action filmmaking. This felt like the creation of someone interested in Dragon Ball Z and shit edgy western comic books who just kind of fell into the job. And even then he isn't allowed to create his whole stupid juvenile vision. Obvious executive oversight end to end too. This thing was doomed to be bad after the writer they chose got attached to the project, but it's made so much worse by nonsensical plot structuring that had to have been the result of someone not creatively involved say "this plot has to end here, you need a standalone plot here, everything has to wrap up here."

Nothing that happens in Netflixvania really has rhyme or reason to it beyond being pleasing to a certain kind of stupid perverted nerd, but it really gets egregious when pretty much every character and plot's resolution takes the form of some kind of sudden revelation that isn't connected to anything that happened beforehand, though they do try to convince you it was building up to these things by pretty much having characters say "wow i learned a lot over the course of all of these meaningful things i've been doing all season". They say that but almost nothing of note happens in this show. It's incredible. Season 2, all about the big climactic fight with dracula, puts the protagonists in a basement for 90% of the runtime so we can focus on our awesome new Vampire OCs being edgy badasses (nothing of note comes of anything they do either of course, they just pose, fight and monologue because the writer is enamoured with his creations just wants to jerk them off, they don't serve any greater creative purpose, what you see is what you get scene by scene. and these are some shitty scenes.)

You can knock this whole show to pieces just by asking what the greater meaning of any particular element is. Why is Dracula a moody reclusive enlightenment figure at the start of the series? are Vampires standing in for some kind of aristocracy, are they standing in for the exceptionally sensitive (in the vein of Cronenberg's 'Scanners' maybe?), is this show an atheist polemic? Any of these could have worked, but it's none. The writer had a self-contained idea of an unjust public burning being a part of a character's tragic backstory, and that was it. He didn't even go to the trouble of having this burning make sense. Unlike a lot of critics i don't think this show had a strong atheistic streak, the writer simply made the churchmen completely retarded because that was the easiest way to get his plot rolling. Just within the first season churchmen are hideously corrupt people carrying out the worst injustices, but they're also apparently the approved guardians of true divine power and are granted power from above that lets them cast evil back into hell. Someone could take the elements in this story and make something very interesting about the relationship between religion, god, the good, science and secular progress, etc, but this show doesn't give a shit about these things. They're all shallow props to create disjointed one-off scenes that the writer thinks will look cool. Because of this trying to find rhyme or reason in this show will drive you insane. Nothing means anything but exactly what you're looking at. Stupid people burning the woman just means stupid people burning the woman because they're stupid and dracula needs something to get mad about.

This whole show offends me because it's stupid. It's a hideous waste to have this much human effort and industry hitched up behind such a weak, stupid and aimless creative vision.

Repulsive American fujoshit with the same relation to the games as a Big Mac has to a cow.
I understand Warren Ellis was involved. Gen X strikes again.

The ones posting about Lenore are the same sorts who call Super Kangz (Black Panther) high art I'm sure. Hector was an irrevelant character when all was said and done seeing as how he never really accomplished something.

It's just too bad that the Resident Evil fanbase are so pretentious that they won't feel that a movie is accurate to the games unless you make it like Walking Dead where the "real monsters IZ hooomans!"


Hilariously enough, the comic ended with "humans are the real monsters" shit over and over only to cop-out with "and then the global genocide led to woke cowboy paradise where there's no notable religion and a woman president and niggers fucking white women." I find this a rather telling example of both Leftoid disdain for the mass of men and a Leftoid admitting he'd have to kill off a large chunk of the world to ever build his ultimate woke world.

It's amusing that the sorts who unironically call themselves nihilists or say they hate humans are also the sorts who'd object at calling a Congo dweller a Nigger or saying gays should be shoved in closets or thrown in bogs. "Ugh I hate humans I hate this world I hate being alive also BLM @Resistance ugh I'm cooming."

They'll just reincarnate Camilla, and rekill Dracul's bitch. CV bosses die all the time but they never stay dead, except Bathory from Bloodlines.

How did you not know that they already renewed the series, and Richter is now Trevor's kid, lol!

If Alucard's timeline seems to be what they're going with, I wonder if they'll ever make it up to Shanoa's series? Ecclesia happens after SOTN & Rondo. Not that it matters, they're just turn Shanoa into a Black or Mexican chick or something, that makes zero sense. The only reason why I don't give a fuck with Issac is coz I don't know who the fuck Issac is. I never played the PS2 shit.

Season 4 was entertaining to me, because it was nothing but mindless violence.

I'm still laughing that the writers unintentionally wrote Camilla as a tactical-strategist retard who meets her own end by hilariously over extending her kingdom. Her dreamworld is similar to Richard Spencer's dreamworld of a White Pan-Aryan society stemming all the way from the USA, UK, Russia, and Rome.
It's like "yo mang, anyone ever fucking tell you that you're a fucking idiot?"


Now if only the two lesbo vamps could've been crucified too but at least it's way better than Alucard homobuttsex rape.
Season 4 was fucking gold though

These motherfuckers seriously wrote that shit, and told themselves "yeah papi, this is good dialogue."
I was laughing all throughout Season 4 because it's filled with retarded bullshit.

That death scene had me laughing non stop. The writers didn't give a shit at all.
Or so I'd assume, but judging from the comments, a lot of people thought this scene was sad? WTH? I really don't understand modern Westerners. They don't seem to be fully developed humans, everything makes them cry. Lenore was obviously being written out simply coz the writer wanted to write her out of the story. How could that be sad when it's so transparent?
This skit describes what I thought of CV S04's writing, lol.

Nearly everythign that happens in Castlevania, doesn't need to happen. It just does, coz the writers said so. The stories don't follow an internal logic, so the story doesn't feel real or immersive. It's one of those it's so fucking bad that it's entertaining how bad it is.


It's retarded but it's amusing. I din't like Season 3 coz it got way too social-political, and I'm sick & tired of USA's homosexual/tranny agenda being forced on to me. (Even pornsites force Tranny videos on you.)
Season 4 just went FUCK it, lets kill everyone off except for the lead characters and FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!
I ain't even exaggerating, Everyone says shit & fuck in CV even Sypha lol!


If you actually wanted to do Castlevania justice, you'd do it like Aeon Flux & make it like a music video where the actions dictate the plot, and the actions are accompanied by in-game CV music.

It's fucking annoying how damn near every videogame adaption, always ignores videogame conventions and instead tries to make a coherent movie narrative, off of a fucking video game. Of course it won't work!

The Resident Evil movies did it right. The movies play out exactly like the video games to the point that you almost feel as if you're playing the movie yourself.




I was looking for the Helicopter scene which had the most badass techno music that sounded like it came from RE Mercs.
It's just too bad that the Resident Evil fanbase are so pretentious that they won't feel that a movie is accurate to the games unless you make it like Walking Dead where the "real monsters IZ hooomans!"
Never mind that the games were never anything like Walking Dead to begin with, but the COnSOOOMERS DEMAND IT!

That's the real problem with videogame to movie adaptions. The actual fans of the games, want the movie adaptions to be like a movie version of other movies or comic books, AYY LMAO!
Fucking morons!

Season 4 was actually good. Season 3 was bad enough to kill the show, but Season 4 picks up right where season 1 left off, with action in most of the episodes. It also ends in a way, where you could logically continue the series with Rondo & SOTN. Season 4 was the final season, but I'm assuming that they could just start a new Rondo show, and I honestly wouldn't mind it so long as the pacing stays similar to season 4, which seemed to have zero filler.
If an episode didn't move the story forward, it's usually due to how it had a lot of action.
  • Season 1 felt like a 2 hour movie that was cut in to 4 or 5 episodes.

    Season 2 was Animu Game of Thrones, which sadly, the following seasons didn't live up to the promise at all.

    Season 3 felt like shitty fan fiction with teh gay buttsex rape & Hector being completely emasculated. I did like Trevor & Sypha's plot, but it had nothing to do with the overall story at all. It just felt like some edgy side-story from The Witcher 3.

    Season 4 feels as if season 3 never happened. Trevor & Sypha are stuck in an endless cycle of killing human-cultists who worship Death, to prevent them from reviving Dracula. Alucard receives a message of distress from a half eaten man, so he decides to aid them, in what feels like a typical zombie horde movie, but with demons. I liked it though, except for the random doggo being eaten by monsters. Lotta people die, but that's what made Alucard's story fun. It was a monster horde movie, but with Alucard as one of the survivors.
    Hector is redeemed in season 4.
    You finally get closure on Issac & Carmila's story arcs, but neither of the two ever lead back to the main trio, so it's kinda disappointing. Only reason why I accept it, is coz Carmilla & Issac have the epic bloodbath to the death against each other, that I was expecting the main-trio to have against them.
I was going to spoil the entire season, the same way I did with season 3, but I think S4 is actually worth watching.
I think it's the best of the 4 seasons coz it's nearly non-stop action. It's kinda wtf though coz wtf was the point of Season 3? Season 3 wasted all of this time on Carmilla's crew, when she gets taken down in one episode, lol.
To be fair, that one episode felt like a capstone episode that ends the entire season. That's the most disappointing part about Castlevania, the Issac story arc & the Carmila story arc that was being built up from Season 2 & 3, eventually collide with each other in season 4, and ends both of their story arcs in that single episode. It was a damn good episode though and Issac & Carmilla have the most badass battle in the season.
Mainly coz they're evenly matched. Most of the other battles are one sided, and Trevor's final battle is one-sided against him.


So much build up for Issac, and it feels kinda wasted, but they went in a different direction with the plot, to the point that there would be no reason for Issac to fight Alucard, Belmont & Sypha. Speaking of which, Grant Dynasty finally shows up as a hot brown chick, named Greta Dinesti, and she's Alucard's love interest. At least she's not a gay guy or a tranny, lol. Shit, if you skipped season 3, you'd never guess that any of that dumb shit from season 3 ever happened. Season 3 is completely pointless. That entire season could've been done in one episode. The entire Carmila & Issac story arc ended in one episode, lol.
Lenore got taken as a bride/slave by Hector. During the epilogue episode, she wished to see the Sun, and well you know what happens when a Vamp sees the sun. Issac doesn't even show up in the epilogue, lol. You'd be thinking that a character as important as him would've shown up in the finale. This is why I think he was meant to die as Drac's most loyal servant, instead of Issac turning into Animu-Morgan who just hijacks the main character role of every show he's in, lol.


I've said nothing about the actual plot, since Carmila's story is really just tying up loose-ends from season 2 & 3.
The actual plot is about an alchemist (same guy from season 3) who resurrects Dracula to see his love again.
Everything makes sense by episode 9, although its disappointing how Issac & Carmila turned out to be a waste of time since neither of the two ever cross paths with Trevor, Alucard & Sypha.
Alucard helps protect villagers by allowing them to stay at his castle, where they're invaded by armies of monsters. Season 4 revolves around Alucard, Greta Dinesti, Sypha & Trevor, but you don't need to know anything about what happened in the first 3 seasons, lol. Sypha & Trevor's story was a repeat of season 1, but with an even more retarded town. Alucard's story is what season 3's should've been. Minus the Issac episodes, season 3 was nothing but filler.

I'm guessing that Issac was such a pet-project for the writers, that they didn't want to kill him off by being the main bad guy of the show, so he's written like some kind of zen-wanderer like Morgan from Walking Dead, where he feels like he's the main character of his own show, but he's hijacking the show that you're currently watching.
You don't even see or even hear about Issac any more after the Carmilla battle, which is proof to me that Carmila & Issac's stories weren't meant to end in a single episode, trying to kill each other.

tbh, Netflixvania having fagshit in it is no surprise considering the showrunners are edgelord fedora tipping leftoids (with one of them going out in a public with a shirt crying about how brown he is) and well, it's Netflix. Warren Ellis alone is known by everyone familiar with his past work as a fat fedoralord.

And eh, the show's only really gets praised in shitholes like reddit and by the intelligentsia for the anti-Catholic bits and the edge (pointless bar fight, "ugh humans are scum also giggle giggle i'm so quirky" you see from the likes of Undertale fans). Frankly, I say that if anything it takes itself too seriously since the games were always wacky with stuff like fighting ninja maids.

I don't see how that game raped his character when he's most likely depicted as even more powerful than he normally is since it's a fighting game. Alucard actually getting fucked in the ass by a brother & sister is just really fucking stupid. Alucard is supposed to be a practical god, not a whiny crybaby emo faggot who is sad coz he has no friends.
something like that just wouldn't happen to the bad ass lugosi-type alucard from CV3 Image
when they changed his design to the lestat/bishounen version in sotn, it started slowly heading down this path...
so i'm really not surprised. the fact that they implemented it in a "TV series" is weird, though, rather than some backwater internet hentai board.

i'm not watching season three. people keep trying to convince me otherwise,
but they are deluded fans who are unwilling to ram a stake into the gaping asshole of this decayed corpse of a series.

i kind of feel that way about silent hill...

you probably wanna check this out, then. kind of a fan game, but very authentic to the original.
there are some added things - item crashes, drop kicks, stage expansion...

I don't have time to make a full post but no the dragon's dogshit anime is, as I so cleverly implied in my quirky joke, complete dogshit
It has none of the weird shit from the game, the plot is shit, the dialog is shit, the action is shit and the CGI is shit
