Castlevania. Exactly as I imagined as a kid and although the first season doesn't have the Castlevania feel yet, the second season delivers it. The first four episodes had me so hyped that I binged watched it several times.

Uncensored, follows the Castlevania storyline in it's own way, gave in depth personalities to characters like Sypha Belnades, Alucard and Richter Belmont, has awesome soundtrack even Bloody Tears, etc.

One of the best shows that's perfect for Castlevania fans alike.… Expand

I didn't watch it, when it first appeared on my Netflix account, because I watched too many Vampire themed stuff and got burned out by emotionless dudes being all powerfull and sexy. But people kept praising Castlevania, so I had to take a look:

The vampire stuff is pretty much the same, just the most powerful ones are a little bit more humane e.g. have emotions. You'll see a badass women from the start, which gave me hope for refreshing strong female roles in this anime. The reasoning of the antagonists are understandable, which is sadly rare.

The heroes throuple is basically the same as in Samurai Champloo: two dudes fighting with each other and a cute women between them. I like that she isn't helpless, compared to the dudes.

The overall style and sound is lovingly put together. I find myself looking closely to the landscape, because it's frequently gorgeous.… Expand

This show is proof video game based TV shows and movies can be good if people actually put in real effort. The characters banter is great, the character and monster designs are gorgeous, the changes from the source material make sense (Isaac is an excellent example - the original version was a generic villain, but the animated Isaac is one of the best characters in the show), and it isn’t hard for someone unfamiliar with the games to understand the plot. My only complaint is I really wish some minor characters got more screen time and development and despite being the main villain I wish there would be more done with Dracula overall.… Expand

The three leads are charming and have drastically different personalities that create alot of great dialogue throughout the show. Season 3 does slow down the story quite a bit and can feel as though a bridge season looking back. Overall the show is beautifully animated, some fights in the show are jaw dropping and does not disappoint with the violence. Please watch this show. We need more US animated shows of this quality.… Expand

Simply epic. Western anime doesn't get much better than this. Just finished season 4 (the final season), and for the first time I can recall, a horror -- anime or otherwise -- managed to make me teary (in episodes 9 and 10). The story isSimply epic. Western anime doesn't get much better than this. Just finished season 4 (the final season), and for the first time I can recall, a horror -- anime or otherwise -- managed to make me teary (in episodes 9 and 10). The story is surprisingly sophisticated, and the dialogue, voice acting, and animation are all top-notch. There is a LOT of gore, so this is not a show for the squeamish (and definitely not for kids).

That said, it's by no means *all* gore; there is definitely story and character-building, and the writers did a great job of humanizing characters... even the non-human ones. The show spends time fleshing out the main characters, so the drama has some, uh, teeth. If you're an anime fan who appreciates a great story with interesting characters, this is a must-see.… Expand

Might be the best animated series I've seen so far, including a lot of animes. Must watch. Not sure how much it is true to the games lore, I don't know much about the games at this point.

Season one and two are brilliant. I couldn't have ever imagined that there will be created such a great Castlevania tv series. Brilliant soundtrack, and great animation. Absolutely worth watching.

I came in thinking it would be garbage because, 1 it's a video game adaptation and 2 the only thing I know about Castlevania is that ricker is in smash and uses a holy whip and Dracula throws wine glasses. But I was completely wrong. Every episode introduced a new conflict and a character has to go through. You can understand why a character does anything in the show 10 minutes after meeting them. I can't see any negatives in it. Great animation, great plot, good fighting, and t's funny.… Expand

After a halfbaked first season and a very average second season, they finally got it right with season three! The dialogue and plot have improved lightyears from the first two seasons. I am 100% on board to see where this story goes next :)

Os dubladores dos principais são ótimos, animação boa e com uma arma difícil de desenhar (o chicote do Trevor), mas sei la não é um 10 falta algo pra ser completo como juntar os personagens.
