    Your videos are of incredible high quality for such a small channel. It felt like i was watching a million sub content creator. Keep up the work! and yes i started watching Castlevania because of this video.

    The only thing I would add to this great video would probably be the voice acting. Some amazing talets, already well established in the film industry, or very promising newcomers. The dialogue is very well written, almost too long for such a fast-paced action-adventure type of show. But this is where, in my opinion, this show stands out. It pushes or even breaks boundaries that most other shows wouldn't dare to explore. It feels refreshing and new but still familiar at the same time. Definitely a must watch! Love your videos by the way!

    I started watching a couple of weeks ago and just finished season 2. It's an awesome show. The story, the voice acting and the fight scenes are all awesome. It actually got me really interested in Castlevania games, which I had only ever played a little of. I'm deep into Aria of Sorrow and loving it. My only gripe is that I find the audio mix to be off (at least on my 2 TVs), I find it hard to hear the character dialogue sometimes, without blasting the volume...and then the music is super loud.

    Yeah I definitely experienced some of that while watching, but it's so well put together for a Netflix original!

    I think the vampires were easily the least interesting part of the first season and I’m wondering if you agree. Their dynamic with Dracula did nothing for me and seemed sort of listless a lot of the time

    Spoiler Warning: For those who have not watched the Netflix series "Castlevania" this comment contains spoilers concerning said series. I like the show on the whole. It's got a lot to love. A great cast, amazing music, impressive animation, and a solid overall story. My only qualms with this show are the race-swapping (the only one that even had any effect was Isaac's and he might as well be a different character entirely), the emasculation of many characters (particularly what they did to Hector and Alucard), the queer-coding, the plots of Seasons 3 and 4, and probably the overdone vulgarity (it's usually not too bad, but when it gets to Death speaking like a Reddit moderator and Carmilla sounding like Cardi B if she had brain cells you lose me). It's overall quite good, but on the plot end, Seasons 3 and 4 feel like the writers were plodding and desperately trying to add on scenes to a show that would have been better had it been left to only two seasons. It feels janky and uncoordinated is what I'm saying. It isn't terribly egregious in most parts, but when it gets obvious it is painfully so. The cursing and constant expletives aren't a problem for me, but rather who winds up saying them. Carmilla, Death, hell even Saint-Germain are supposed to be eloquent, well-spoken, intellectual game masters who enthrall and amaze as easily as they intimidate and terrify. And how do they speak? They sound like that one angry wench or wet piece of slag you met at a bar. It just goes too far and tips into "edgy for the sake of edgy" territory. The issues that also take it down (as mentioned) are the queer-coding, the race swaps, and the tearing down of the male characters. Trevor is fine. He's one of the better handled ones. However, Alucard and Hector particularly are constantly undermined. Hector in the games is a sorrowful and repentant man who wishes to redeem his soul by saving his loved ones from Isaac's machinations after Dracula's fall. He tries and fails, but he never gives up on himself or his sister, even when all hope seems lost and his death feels imminent. He's an immovable object, and he earns that label. Anime Hector is a soft, weak, unstable mess who falls for any million-dollar chick with a two-dollar smile. He's meek, without a spine, and broken. Alucard starts strong, but he just seems to be . . . less compelling as the series goes on. I found myself bored with him after halfway through Season 3. I would have rather the series just timeskipped after he watched his father die, and then have him still be drowning in his woes by the time Richter comes along. And, when it came to the race-swapping, the only really prominent examples in that regard are Sypha and Isaac. Sypha's is more reasonable. Making her a Gypsie/Romani is a neat way to make her a bit more of an outcast, rather than the church-sponsored mage she was originally. It's fine, since the Romani people were mysterious and misunderstood people who were and still are hated to this day. That's fine. Isaac . . . they should have just made a new character because there is no resemblance between the two. In the games, Isaac is a pale-skinned, red-headed psychopath from Florence who grew up in poverty and learned from a young age to take what's yours. He got what he wanted, when he wanted it, and he would brutally murder anybody who got in his way. As he grew older, he developed many sado-masochistic and deviant tendencies. He took to wearing very exposing clothing and got full-body tattoos and piercings because he got off on pain, and wanted his enemies to hurt him so he could enjoy it and so he could hurt them in turn. When he met Dracula, he developed an insane and manic obsession with the man and almost fell in love (if you can call a lustful, toxic, overbearing boner for somebody love). The entire plot of Curse of Darkness is him trying to lure in Hector si that he can sacrifice him and resurrect Dracula in his body. Anime Isaac is a former African slave who slew his masters and joined Dracula due to their mutual hatred of humankind. Fair, however that's not the same character. Race-swapping characters has to strike a delicate balance between being different enough to distinguish them from their original counterpart, while being different enough to justify the change. In Isaac's case, he's just too different. They should have just let Isaac be Isaac, and had another character named . . . I don't know . . . Moses? If we're trying to be biblical and all? I can't speak for them. I'm just saying that I would have had Isaac be himself, and made a new character to accomodate the new storyline. They proved that they can make compelling original characters already. It would have just added one more who could actually be redeemable. Because, Show Isaac did not deserve the redemption he got. I'm sorry, but if you murder thousands of innocent men, women, and children then you deserve to get taken out back and Old Yeller'd. This hypothetical new Forgemaster could have proven remorseful or somewhat unwilling in his work Dracula forced him to perform, and he'd have trauma related to indirectly murdering thousand of civilians and coping with that trauma, while also not being a willing participant who would have done it a thousand times over given the chance. It just bothers me from a moral standpoint if we're redeeming everybody wholesale *cough* Dracula *cough* . . . I still enjoy the show, but it's got its problems. Does that mean it is bad or horrible? No. It's still a solid 7 or 8/10. But, those flaws just bring it down from being a 9 or a 9.5 (I only give tens to actually flawless shows and media and those are rare). It just feels like the crew respected some characters more than others, and the writing gets pretty dicey after the finale of the second season. The characters themselves are mostly outstanding, the actors are brilliant, the writing for the first two seasons is pretty great (overcomplicated and useless vampire politics aside), Trevor Morris' soundtrack is insanely good, the animation is top-tier, and the action is so good I still rewatch them occasionally to spoil myself on good action scenes whenever I watch something that isn't as good. It's got a lot of solid components, and the fact that I can only complain about five things (six if you count the needlessly harsh religion bashing) is proof enough. It's a good package and I'd still recommend it. Just . . . maybe play the games if you wanna compare or see the setting as it once was. Or if, like me, you enjoy seeing really bad and under-acted dialogue that makes porn seem Shakespearean. In the early games anyway. By Curse of Darkness (Hector and Issac's game) the acting did get better. Hell, the Lords of Shadows spinoff series had fucking Patrick Stewart as your best friend and mentor and Jason Isaacs as Lucifer (who also plays the Judge in Season 3).
