Hayden Mears

Sep 28, 2023

Castlevania: Nocturne fires on just about every cylinder it needs to. Action, horror, and period-specific turmoil coalesce in a sequel series of comparable quality to the first season of Castlevania. Read full review

Despite its non-ending, this series eclipses its predecessor to deliver one of the best installments in vampire fiction in some time. Read full review

Castlevania: Nocturne is an exemplary way to take a popular game series and turn it into one of the most exciting animated adaptations yet. It remains to be seen the heights that animated Richter Belmont will reach, but we’re confident we’ll be left impressed. Read full review
