I love how Richter has some of the same voice inflections as Trevor, but with a more energetic tone, he seems to be the complete opposite of him, Trevor was jaded and cool headed, Richter is proud, rash and hot-blooded.
@@louie4390 No. It is about 6 or so generations in the games. Richter is actually the last Belmont to be in a game chronologically, at least until J in Aria of Sorrow
@@louie4390Trevor was in the 1400's Richter is in the 1700's son of juest belmont. Who is the grate grand son of Simon belmont. I believe it's the grate grandson anyway. Could be off a generation.
I feel this is going to last about two seasons and end with Symphony of the Night. Keep with that storyline and make Richter evil, bring back Dracula and Alucard comes back to maybe honor a promise he made to Trevor before he passed to save Richter from his torment.
@@geoffreychauvin1474 In the games, we are used to Richter and the rest of the Belmonts just traveling across the castle and defeating Dracula. Albeit, strange, I do like the way they form a story before and after the battle with Dracula. Otherwise, the series would be really short lived. I am looking (and hoping) towards seeing Dracula coming back, because that would also be lore accurate.
As a non-Castlevania player, the show was one of the best things Netflix has ever done, and made me so interested in a game I otherwise wouldn't have paid any mind to.
Bless them for choosing bravery and leading with Castlevania music this time. Richter’s a hothead, Maria’s throwing birds at people, music is on fire, let’s go.
Love the French Revolution setting for a gothic action vampire series. Few times in history combine epic grandeur, romanticism, and normalized casually horrific situations like that moment.
@@thebarbaryghostsf I gave it a listen and they are all pretty good. The great thing about the series is that all the songs can be covered and re imagined in many different styles (orchestral, rock, techno, etc)
@@alexsilva28 Thanks for checking them out! I completely agree with you too! Castlevania music is amazing in any genre. Some of the very best vg music of all time, imho.
This heavy metal rendition of Rondo Of Blood’s theme is downright amazing to hear. I can’t wait to see Richter’s story against the forces of evil in a whole new perspective.
Really? it looks really stiff, with extremely basic framing and shot composition, and the animation really feels like it's too reliant on 3d models to me. It's almost like a step backwards in terms of animation quality and cinematography
Hearing divine bloodlines go off put a smile on my face. I really hope they have more of the games soundtrack in here. That was my only complaint on the first series. Looks incredible!
I havent been this excited for a show in a LONG time. This trailer hits everything just right, the action, the voice acting and OH GOD the music. Cant wait
It was only a matter of time they released a new series. Castlevania is one of the few Netflix originals that was a pleasant surprise and an absolute 10/10. Very hyped for this!
@@alexsilva28basically it’s the entire world against Dracula. It’s in this fight, Julius Belmont kills Dracula once and for all. Imagine, world war 2 but replace the nazis with hell spawn and replace the Allies with literally everyone else. And add in a dose of crack.
@@alexsilva28 there is no game about it. but it is mentioned and hinted multiple times to be the ultimate finale. then Konami f**ks up its creators and now itll never get made.
I absolutely agree! I actually don't really like the original song, or really any of the remakes or remixes of it that I can find, yet this specific version somehow manages to be my favorite Castlevania song I've ever heard! I just love the way the sound builds across the whole song, and the riffs sound amazing!
Absolute chills when this rendition of Divine Bloodlines is playing. I NEED an OST release for this (and prior seasons.) The epicness on display here is fantastic. 😄
richter's thousand edge move is pretty awesome, they did a great job with the attention to detail in castlevania. can't wait to see all the other item crashes and super attacks in action.
I was genuinely pleased to hear 'Divine Bloodlines', just as I had anticipated. However, I truly didn't expect them to release such a significant track in the preview.
Whoever had an idea to put Erzsebet Bathory into this deserves a raise she was a bloody monster almost as real Vlad Dracula Tepes. Can't wait for this honestly if it is at least as half as good as the original show it will be great.
If it were perfect, they'd actually give Richter his weapon of choice, the chain whip. It'd be like making a Harry Potter anime where Harry only uses a paper straw instead of a proper wand.
Man when they played Richter's them in ep 6 when he got his magic back brought back crazy memories from Rondo of Blood! Felt exactly the same when they played Bloody Tears in S2 with that Trevor scene! GOOSEBUMPS!!!!
Maaan you can tell by the trailer this new one is leaking excellence. This series has been a 10 so far. The animations, the lines, the vibes, the characters! It deserves to be known!
This is one of the most beautiful and brilliantly animated series that I have seen in my almost 40 years of life. This show could be about the belmonts peeling potatoes. If it’s animated to this level of quality then I will watch it. Stoked
Shows like this one are the reason I don’t cancel my account. What a massive demostraron of talent this production is, from animation, to music, writing and themes. And it’s only getting BETTER!!!!
All the longtime fans knew as soon as we saw the Headband and heard the guitar notes, this' our old buddy Richter. High expectations for this one. So far they did a great job reinterpreting the classic themes, this was fire 💯🔥
Nearly done with this, and it's been incredible. It was rated lower on IMDB, but I think it carries its weight well and is every bit as good. I've been a fan of the series for 30 years, and never made the Trevor, Sypha, Richter connection to his abilities. Outstanding work.
@@sharavy6851 it's literally unprecedented. They didn't use any castlevania 3 or curse of darkness music in their castlevania 3/curse of darkness adaptation. This is a first.
No way! Had no idea they were making another castlevania series. Looking forward to the premiere. Hopefully, they do even more seasons than the last one.
I'm so hyped!!! The original Castlevania animated series was a masterpiece in its own right. As someone who hasn't played the games and is here for the story, animation, voice acting, and art, I love this
When he said my name is “Richter Belmont” it had the same feeling as when Dracula said “I am Vlad Dracula Tepes and I have had enough!” So hyped for this animation is literally next level.
I was worried about Richter's characterization after that original trailer... Somehow the appearance of the headband stupidly alleviated all my fears and this was amazing.
I’ve haven’t been so hyped for a show in so long, I’m counting down the days until this comes out! Castlevania has truly become my FAVORITE ANIME OF ALL TIME!
I cannot think of a show that tops the action animation that Castlevania has. The fight scenes are rarely cut short or have long dialogue in between fight sequences. It is amazing how intricate each person's fighting style can be and how much effort is put into making sure everyone in the fight scene is doing something badass. I cannot wait for this sequel!!
The Dracula X series (Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night) are my favorite Castlevania games. Richter, Maria, Shaft, Bloodlines theme. I can't wait to see how this turns out. September just keeps getting better with a lot entertainment to enjoy from all kinds of media.
Yea so the first series is loosely base on Castlevania Dracula's Curse and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. I'm kinda hoping that this new sequel series will be based on Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. They are also my all time favorite games.
Nothing cooler than being a life-long CV fan from the video games and having such an amazing tv series made around it. Everyone involved should be super proud, easily one of if not the best adaptations.
Feel like this show will definitely get me through college. Castlevania was such an experience with it’s story, characters, and animation. Let’s hope Nocturne lives up to the hype. So far, by the looks of the trailer, I feel like we’re in for one hell of a ride. This is going to be fun. :)
@@MilesCW And you had to come and destroy my hype for the series... No but for real, I'm hopeful that the new writers are, for a change, capable of püroducing great stories.
Ayyy, best of luck with school! It's always nice to have something you're looking forward to when you're not grinding at school/work. This definitely looks like it's gonna be dope!
0:42 I got goosebumps all over my body when Richter’s theme (Divine Bloodlines) kicked in while he puts bandana on his head. THIS IS GOING TO BE A MASTERPIECE🔥🔥
I really love the character design of all of them!! the way they depict and use magic in these series is top tier. Avatar and Castlevania are the few american produced animations that nail that anime feeling but filled with the west’s identity when it comes to the writing and dna. POWERHOUSE STUDIO I SALUTE YOU. The hair on the black character is so nice
ATLA was animated by a South Korean studio called JM Animation and The Legend of Korra was animated by another studio called Studio Mir, but with the same animation director and crew that worked in the first series. It's not an obscure fact that an American production company will sometimes look for Japanese or South Korean studios to work on their animated shows without much creative freedom and a somewhat low pay. In the case of Avatar, however, the animation studios behind both series were heavily involved in the creative desicions regarding the storyboards and visuals, with the animators having the freedom of making the action sequences the way they wanted to. Therefore, I wouldn't consider Avatar to be exclusively American animation, since the Korean studios that have worked on the franchise were key to the success of both shows, plus Avatar is what made South Korean animation be taken more seriously and now we have Studio Mir as pretty much the most important Korean studio there is.
@@KnotPhound Well animation as a whole is a rather international affair, both Japanese Animation and American animation use a lot of Korean and other Asian studios to complement stuff like inbetweens and stuff like that even stuff you woulnd't think like scooby doo would have some help in some episodes be studios outside the US. It's sadly mainly a cost cutting measure as those international studios charge a lot less most of the time, I'm sure there are times when it's used mainly to help an already overwork staff but I'd say that's the exception to the rule. I do hope eventually animators can get better working conditions and payments because from experience animating myself that ain't no easy task. But either way we can say that this animation is looking amazing, I'm quite excited for it.
Unfortunately a lot of people are upset to see a change in the character Annette. Because God forbid a fictional character change from the game be changed like she was in every bloody game she was in.
But in honesty I'm super excited about this series and I hope people still enjoy it despite the changes that were made it's not supposed to be like the games
The scene where Richter is staring at the moon, don't play so low Netflix, don't need to play with our feelings that much. This is marvelous! Also, Richter is probably the most badass of all bellmonts!
richter's moon scene was intense, no doubt, netflix knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats. and yeah, richter is definitely a badass among the belmonts.
That Divine Bloodlines theme is so beautiful orchestra and Rock introduction!! I didn't expect to see Elizabeth Barthely from Castlevania Bloodlines to become the main villain of this series, Still, that is a fitting setup of her as the main villain in the era of Richert Belmont.
Thank you Netflix for bringing this series to life. I have watched this trailer no less than 6 times today and about to restart the original series for the umpteenth time. More Castlevania in the future, please!
The last CasstleVania was good not just because of the graphic and the action, It was the dialogs, The dialogs draw you in, sucking all your attention. Let hope this 1 can also deliver that.
Some people I know thought it was slow. But yeah, personally, I loved the slow dialogue. Just two people talking draws you in, like a Tarantino film. Hopefully this one has a nice mix.
I agree with you, but I do hope one thing they change is the amount of excessive cursing or figure out how to do it better. It didn't feel organic a lot of the time and took me out of moments. Especially when it wasn't considered a character trait by the writers and it was just every single person in the series was channeling their inner sailor. I still loved the series, but the cursing was just...awkward.
@@robertinhodoprazer621 Hey! Things changed, at the end he was a homeless drunk with a girlfriend and a kid who once had his girlfriend's icy foot stuck up his ****.
1:39 was a HUGE missed opportunity to say "I vanquish the darkness!" That line better at least be in the show, and same with "Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!"
So many things in this trailer, Richters voice actor sounds awesome, the animation looks as usual amazing, the villains, the characters, the action so many things to be hyped about (richter better find the Morningstar sometime whether that be in this season or a later one). Also Divine Bloodlines better be in the actual show.
Hopefully it doesn't go in that woke bs direction like the last season ending did. The first season was awesome and I loved the visuals. They should keep it that way
@@ajmunoz6808 "We have to take down these old men in power." They made it all feminine, full female power cringe movement. That weird gay shit that really was not needed and didn't add anything. It's fine if these things are naturally part of the main story, however, you can just tell it was forced to propagate that same old woke narrative bs. Completely ruined the story and it went downhill. The anime could have been waaaayyyy better. The potential was great. It just went absolutely generic, woke and fell flat. No big ending or twist, just... left u asking wtf was that.
The animation style is absolutely amazing! If there is any studio that deserves to be given the rights to adapt Mistborn and Stormlight Archive as animation then these guys are it!
Damn this looks beautiful. That bandanna sealed it and hearing Divine Bloodlines gave me chills. I really hope we hear more of Castlevania's amazing music this time around.
Right? I think it may even be better than the first I cant make up my mind, but that ending had me jumping out of my seat. I knew it was him right away! So stoked to get more!
I can't help but watch this over and over again. I get chills every single time. the creators, devs and writers and voice actors deserve an Emmy for this masterpiece.
Fully on board for this. If it’s only half as good as the first season, then it’ll still be a bloody good time. If it’s at the same level then it’ll be bloody awesome.
I hope this series succeeds so maybe we can have symphony of the night or even harmony of dissonance animated too… I can’t wait to see Richter in action, he’s my fav Belmont, followed by Juste
I hope they can make Simon Belmont's Story Arc next or a prequel, bec w/ Trevor they showed Leon Belmont's portrait w/ that Heirblade he pick up in the Belmont's vault.
So with Bathory being the new Dracula, I´m guessing they´re mixing the Rondo and Bloodlines story. This will be interesting. Very much looking forward to their adaptation of John Morris and Eric Lecarde. Richter and Maria look and sound awesome.
@@gipsymelody1268 Not necessarily. Bloodlines traveled all over Europe. The previous netflix series also did a lot of traveling, so I wouldn´t worry about being stuck in one place.
@@marts4169 you mean all of them was summoned by the vampire king? 😓🧐 And in that time hungary was bigger power than any other in europe… Litereslly was weakened by ottoman they german-roman empire was defeated by hungarians…
I was a little on the fence how they were going to do Divine Bloodlines for this series. If they were going to make it more orchestral epic like the first series' Bloody Tears, I'd be ok with it, and I'm sure it'd be great. But I am SO unbelievably happy they leaned in, and leaned in HARD, with the rock and guitar riffing original and even harmonized it with the orchestral sounds!
0:36 HOLY SHIT THAT GUITAR SOLO WAS PEAK! If this show is as good as advertised I might put it above breaking bad in terms of my ranking list for netflix shows
They probably wanted direct sequels to CV3 since those three games, CV3, Bloodlines, and Symphony of the Night, could be considered their own trilogy, narratively, since they all tie in with Alucard and have similar characters teaming up, like Belmonts and Sorcerers, etc. That's why Richter and Maria look a lot like Trevor and Sypha, and then in Symphony it's Alucard and Maria. There's visual/narrative parallels for these three games.
they can always go back to it, when they did the previous season, they left the past and fall of the belmonts open ended. So they can easily go back and do prequel series. right now they need to do popular characters/ series to build hype and funds. sadly I dont think simon is as popular as say richter or alucard. they showed a portrait of Leon Belmont so I have a feeling they may eventually go back to the start and maybe to simon belmont/ juste belmont (hes 50 years after simon) after. after that they could do portrait of ruin ( plus its prequel) into order of ecclessia or wherver they line up. not much left after that
I love how Richter has some of the same voice inflections as Trevor, but with a more energetic tone, he seems to be the complete opposite of him, Trevor was jaded and cool headed, Richter is proud, rash and hot-blooded.
He his proud, rash, and hot blooded because of Sypha she likes a challenge and adventure.
@@femtoeclipse860 He is proud, rash and hot blooded in the games too.
Is Richter his son or is this a whole different timeline ?
@@louie4390 No. It is about 6 or so generations in the games. Richter is actually the last Belmont to be in a game chronologically, at least until J in Aria of Sorrow

@@TLACY606 The setting would be around the time of the crusades too, nothing better then heavy metal vampires. :D

@@sharavy6851considering the last series didn't use any of Castlevania III's music, yeah that's actually impressive
@@sharavy6851 Chill, lil bruh
@@sharavy6851 it's literally unprecedented. They didn't use any castlevania 3 or curse of darkness music in their castlevania 3/curse of darkness adaptation. This is a first.
I just hope that storytelling and direction will be as good as the animation looks. And also, that animators paid well for this!
Powerhouse animation recently unionized so hopefully
I heavily doubt it scince the original writer is gone
@@tnl-warrior3218 In some cases the replacement does just as good of a job. It doesn't hurt to have some hopeful optimism.
@@tnl-warrior3218yea him being gone mean nothing. He can do nothing when post prod is started
@@tnl-warrior3218 Well the original writer was a weirdo anyway so good riddance
Dude, 1:25 is straight COLD, this show is going to go so hard. Animation is already great, and the brutality is there to match. Long Live Belmont
Are you referring to the music? Cause that drop was 👌😭
No way! Had no idea they were making another castlevania series. Looking forward to the premiere. Hopefully, they do even more seasons than the last one.
Castlevania was a smash hit for them and their foray into adult anime and I hope that continues their success
I'm so hyped!!! The original Castlevania animated series was a masterpiece in its own right. As someone who hasn't played the games and is here for the story, animation, voice acting, and art, I love this
Me too. This Nocture series has already look too stunning. Cant wait
@gundambattleassaultracist much 😂
Ngl I think yall will like the castlevania games! If you need a beginning point, I suggest symphony of the night or aria of sorrow!
When he said my name is “Richter Belmont” it had the same feeling as when Dracula said “I am Vlad Dracula Tepes and I have had enough!” So hyped for this animation is literally next level.
Not even close
@@TheSmokeyDawn it did don’t be a pillock
yeah, those moments were absolutely epic, The animation in this series is on another level. So hyped for more.
@@TheSmokeyDawnwhich part is not even close?
It still get chills thinking about the first time I hear Dracula say that. My jaw was open so wide it was on the floor lol.
Was hoping for Divine Bloodlines to be featured in a trailer and I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED, THIS RENDITION SLAPS!!!
How why ? The music ? The little bits of that shouldn’t be there or ? The fact this series takes place 3 decades after Trevor no?
@@purpirekyou mean centuries a decade is only 10 years
Richter's time is now to show these vampires who he is. Time to shine Grandson of Juste Belmont.
Yes - shows like these is why I have Netflix. Castlevania was a top show! Hopefully more animation like this will come in the future
I was worried about Richter's characterization after that original trailer... Somehow the appearance of the headband stupidly alleviated all my fears and this was amazing.
I got CHILLS when Divine Bloodlines started playing. Makes me want to play some Castlevania today!
Oh i wanted to play castlev but it didn work aww1
What's divine bloodline
@@cuteway3066richters theme from rondo of blood
Heard Richter for the first time,he sounds great. Second trailer's doing its job,it has me even more hyped.
Got chills when Divine Bloodlines came on. So freaking excited!
I’ve haven’t been so hyped for a show in so long, I’m counting down the days until this comes out! Castlevania has truly become my FAVORITE ANIME OF ALL TIME!
This is not anime it’s it’s anime inspired
It’s just an animated series. Anime by definition is from Japan
Definitely not anime. These guys took some notes, though.
@@Heyheyhey231And Castlevania is not from Japan ? Its game is anime
...no. opinions differ as to how you define anime, but the game itself definitely isn't@@yubunleng5927
I cannot think of a show that tops the action animation that Castlevania has. The fight scenes are rarely cut short or have long dialogue in between fight sequences. It is amazing how intricate each person's fighting style can be and how much effort is put into making sure everyone in the fight scene is doing something badass. I cannot wait for this sequel!!
Fate stay heavens feel
Just noticed that Richter is left-handed, pretty cool detail.
The Dracula X series (Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night) are my favorite Castlevania games. Richter, Maria, Shaft, Bloodlines theme. I can't wait to see how this turns out. September just keeps getting better with a lot entertainment to enjoy from all kinds of media.
Same. And I am someone that played the classics. But, oh I also love Super Castlevania 4 and Bloodlines!. Bloodlines on Genesis was rly good.
Yea so the first series is loosely base on Castlevania Dracula's Curse and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. I'm kinda hoping that this new sequel series will be based on Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. They are also my all time favorite games.
This, right there, is the power of music.
No other art form can do that to you.
Nothing cooler than being a life-long CV fan from the video games and having such an amazing tv series made around it. Everyone involved should be super proud, easily one of if not the best adaptations.
Now all we need is Julius Belmont, I don’t know about Symphony of the Night, I don’t see how you can adapt a Metroidvania
I think the idea that they added a remixed version of Divine Bloodlines into the trailer music just proves that this will be a love letter to fans
Honestly the bandana is a bigger surprise for me lol
Feel like this show will definitely get me through college. Castlevania was such an experience with it’s story, characters, and animation. Let’s hope Nocturne lives up to the hype. So far, by the looks of the trailer, I feel like we’re in for one hell of a ride.
This is going to be fun. :)
The original writer isn't back for this show, don't count on the same vibe.
@@MilesCW And you had to come and destroy my hype for the series...
No but for real, I'm hopeful that the new writers are, for a change, capable of püroducing great stories.
@@ryanmoose4948 It will refresh his mind.
the animation style looks bad as compared the theold one
Ayyy, best of luck with school! It's always nice to have something you're looking forward to when you're not grinding at school/work. This definitely looks like it's gonna be dope!
0:42 I got goosebumps all over my body when Richter’s theme (Divine Bloodlines) kicked in while he puts bandana on his head. THIS IS GOING TO BE A MASTERPIECE🔥🔥
You suffer from utter brain rot
I really love the character design of all of them!! the way they depict and use magic in these series is top tier. Avatar and Castlevania are the few american produced animations that nail that anime feeling but filled with the west’s identity when it comes to the writing and dna. POWERHOUSE STUDIO I SALUTE YOU. The hair on the black character is so nice
ATLA was animated by a South Korean studio called JM Animation and The Legend of Korra was animated by another studio called Studio Mir, but with the same animation director and crew that worked in the first series. It's not an obscure fact that an American production company will sometimes look for Japanese or South Korean studios to work on their animated shows without much creative freedom and a somewhat low pay.
In the case of Avatar, however, the animation studios behind both series were heavily involved in the creative desicions regarding the storyboards and visuals, with the animators having the freedom of making the action sequences the way they wanted to. Therefore, I wouldn't consider Avatar to be exclusively American animation, since the Korean studios that have worked on the franchise were key to the success of both shows, plus Avatar is what made South Korean animation be taken more seriously and now we have Studio Mir as pretty much the most important Korean studio there is.
@@KnotPhound Well animation as a whole is a rather international affair, both Japanese Animation and American animation use a lot of Korean and other Asian studios to complement stuff like inbetweens and stuff like that even stuff you woulnd't think like scooby doo would have some help in some episodes be studios outside the US. It's sadly mainly a cost cutting measure as those international studios charge a lot less most of the time, I'm sure there are times when it's used mainly to help an already overwork staff but I'd say that's the exception to the rule. I do hope eventually animators can get better working conditions and payments because from experience animating myself that ain't no easy task.
But either way we can say that this animation is looking amazing, I'm quite excited for it.
did you watch the Dragon Prince?
Unfortunately a lot of people are upset to see a change in the character Annette. Because God forbid a fictional character change from the game be changed like she was in every bloody game she was in.
But in honesty I'm super excited about this series and I hope people still enjoy it despite the changes that were made it's not supposed to be like the games
It’s not so much that she was changed from the game as much as it was that she reminds people of Amber from Invincible
I didn’t knew this… it’s sad that this is happening but the plot is good anyway… just hope this stops happening in everything
It's really funny to see just how much of a mainstay and serious character Maria is now compared to her first appearence
More akin to her SoTN personality a bit plus Netflix Belmont mouth.
she was straight up a cutesy comic relief character in Rondo of Blood lol
@@skeleto46821 and probably better than Richter, though her defense sucks.
Nocturne Maria is basically based off her Dracula X version.
on the contrary, Maria character is the most annoying and insufferable ot this show... smell wokeness here
The scene where Richter is staring at the moon, don't play so low Netflix, don't need to play with our feelings that much. This is marvelous! Also, Richter is probably the most badass of all bellmonts!
No, he's not... He was brainwashed by shaft and needed Alucard to save him after all
@@SheetMan even so, He is probably the strongest Belmont.
richter's moon scene was intense, no doubt, netflix knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats. and yeah, richter is definitely a badass among the belmonts.
✌🏻am Richter Belmont The vampire Hunter
Richter is my fav ,but what did they mean by that tho?
I just love the fact that they're using the Dracula x chronicles design for Richter with a little bit of the original sprinkled in.
Really thought it was the Japanese PC engine design from manga artist
glad they kept the white ryu street fighter headband for some battles.... og design was GOAT!!
redesign is ok.
Uhhhh "WHEN THAT SOUNDTRACK!" Kicks in!!! 0:41
That Divine Bloodlines theme is so beautiful orchestra and Rock introduction!!
I didn't expect to see Elizabeth Barthely from Castlevania Bloodlines to become the main villain of this series, Still, that is a fitting setup of her as the main villain in the era of Richert Belmont.
Zahn McClarnon also plays Olrox, who was in the first trailer
Goosebumps. Be cool to see him in a later season looking like the SOTN Richter also.
Thank you Netflix for bringing this series to life. I have watched this trailer no less than 6 times today and about to restart the original series for the umpteenth time. More Castlevania in the future, please!
Just finished this. It was SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!
The last CasstleVania was good not just because of the graphic and the action, It was the dialogs, The dialogs draw you in, sucking all your attention. Let hope this 1 can also deliver that.
Some people I know thought it was slow. But yeah, personally, I loved the slow dialogue. Just two people talking draws you in, like a Tarantino film. Hopefully this one has a nice mix.
I adored everything involving Isaac talking philosophy with everyone. Such intelligent conversations.
Trevor being a homeless drunk for 4 seasons really is the pinnacle of character development
I agree with you, but I do hope one thing they change is the amount of excessive cursing or figure out how to do it better. It didn't feel organic a lot of the time and took me out of moments. Especially when it wasn't considered a character trait by the writers and it was just every single person in the series was channeling their inner sailor. I still loved the series, but the cursing was just...awkward.
@@robertinhodoprazer621 Hey! Things changed, at the end he was a homeless drunk with a girlfriend and a kid who once had his girlfriend's icy foot stuck up his ****.
1:39 was a HUGE missed opportunity to say "I vanquish the darkness!" That line better at least be in the show, and same with "Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!"
That rendition of Divine Bloodlines gave me so many chills.
I pray for you, Richter Belmont
So many things in this trailer, Richters voice actor sounds awesome, the animation looks as usual amazing, the villains, the characters, the action so many things to be hyped about (richter better find the Morningstar sometime whether that be in this season or a later one). Also Divine Bloodlines better be in the actual show.
theres an ign interview where they confirm that it is.
Hopefully it doesn't go in that woke bs direction like the last season ending did. The first season was awesome and I loved the visuals. They should keep it that way
@@DefeatLustwhat on earth could you possibly consider “woke bs” about the way the last season ended
@@ajmunoz6808 "We have to take down these old men in power." They made it all feminine, full female power cringe movement. That weird gay shit that really was not needed and didn't add anything.
It's fine if these things are naturally part of the main story, however, you can just tell it was forced to propagate that same old woke narrative bs. Completely ruined the story and it went downhill.
The anime could have been waaaayyyy better. The potential was great. It just went absolutely generic, woke and fell flat. No big ending or twist, just... left u asking wtf was that.
@@ihatemovingpictures
How can I find that interview?
The animation style is absolutely amazing! If there is any studio that deserves to be given the rights to adapt Mistborn and Stormlight Archive as animation then these guys are it!
Oh I would love that!
That would be awesome!
Damn this looks beautiful. That bandanna sealed it and hearing Divine Bloodlines gave me chills. I really hope we hear more of Castlevania's amazing music this time around.
This season continue to maintain its quality just like its predecessors.
You got me with that ending. It happened at the most unexpected moment 😊
The whole series I was wondering about that until the very end i got my answer.. made me jump outta of seat..
Right? I think it may even be better than the first I cant make up my mind, but that ending had me jumping out of my seat. I knew it was him right away! So stoked to get more!
I can't help but watch this over and over again. I get chills every single time. the creators, devs and writers and voice actors deserve an Emmy for this masterpiece.
Fully on board for this. If it’s only half as good as the first season, then it’ll still be a bloody good time. If it’s at the same level then it’ll be bloody awesome.
they never miss on the animation
Is it just me, or is the animation lower quality than the last season?
@@matthewallen2273 it's def lower budget
@@matthewallen2273 Looks a bit clean on the detail. Not enough '' dirty/grunge '' detail maybe ?
@@TBContent24r you out of your mind?
@@matthewallen2273 I don’t think that’s the case
Wonderful!! The first guitar tune of Richter's Theme sounds like Eric Draven played it himself!!! ❤❤
I hope this series succeeds so maybe we can have symphony of the night or even harmony of dissonance animated too… I can’t wait to see Richter in action, he’s my fav Belmont, followed by Juste
I hope they can make Simon Belmont's Story Arc next or a prequel, bec w/ Trevor they showed Leon Belmont's portrait w/ that Heirblade he pick up in the Belmont's vault.
Is this a sequel or prequel to the last Castlevania show on Netflix?
@@KURO_ame that’d be cool
@@vrASMR180 sequel
@@vrASMR180 I'm pretty sure it takes place after, but it's not a direct sequel
The theme of Divine Bloodline sounds awesome. I hope it's used in the series like they did with Bloody Tears.
And please PLEASE I hope they use more music! More than just 1 track across 4 damn seasons
@@GothamKnight-hsw4vx526430I just want an official soundtrack release
What’s divine bloodline and bloody tears
It got so used SO AWESOMELY in the show.
So with Bathory being the new Dracula, I´m guessing they´re mixing the Rondo and Bloodlines story. This will be interesting. Very much looking forward to their adaptation of John Morris and Eric Lecarde. Richter and Maria look and sound awesome.
i thinking same thing.i wonder if ends at same castle where u fight her before dracula. also moth queen let's hope she in here.
Are you sure it’s bathory? Then the whole place dhould play in hungary… 😓😓😓
@@gipsymelody1268 Not necessarily. Bloodlines traveled all over Europe. The previous netflix series also did a lot of traveling, so I wouldn´t worry about being stuck in one place.
@@marts4169 you mean all of them was summoned by the vampire king? 😓🧐
And in that time hungary was bigger power than any other in europe…
Litereslly was weakened by ottoman they german-roman empire was defeated by hungarians…
So we gonna go hard right away with Richters theme
Using ‘Bloodlines’ as the song for this trailer could not be more perfect. I cannot wait!!
Jesus this rendition of Divine Blood is amazing. Shivers down to the spine
I was a little on the fence how they were going to do Divine Bloodlines for this series. If they were going to make it more orchestral epic like the first series' Bloody Tears, I'd be ok with it, and I'm sure it'd be great. But I am SO unbelievably happy they leaned in, and leaned in HARD, with the rock and guitar riffing original and even harmonized it with the orchestral sounds!
0:36 HOLY SHIT THAT GUITAR SOLO WAS PEAK! If this show is as good as advertised I might put it above breaking bad in terms of my ranking list for netflix shows
THE OST IS SICCKKKKKKKKK
Still sad we skipped Simon, but Ritcher's story is shaping up to look awesome too!
They skipped Juste too
They probably wanted direct sequels to CV3 since those three games, CV3, Bloodlines, and Symphony of the Night, could be considered their own trilogy, narratively, since they all tie in with Alucard and have similar characters teaming up, like Belmonts and Sorcerers, etc. That's why Richter and Maria look a lot like Trevor and Sypha, and then in Symphony it's Alucard and Maria. There's visual/narrative parallels for these three games.
they can always go back to it, when they did the previous season, they left the past and fall of the belmonts open ended. So they can easily go back and do prequel series.
right now they need to do popular characters/ series to build hype and funds.
sadly I dont think simon is as popular as say richter or alucard.
they showed a portrait of Leon Belmont so I have a feeling they may eventually go back to the start and maybe to simon belmont/ juste belmont (hes 50 years after simon) after.
after that they could do portrait of ruin ( plus its prequel) into order of ecclessia or wherver they line up.
not much left after that
i dont know anything about this series but the animation, ost, character design, ... everything is perfect.
My body is ready
My soul is ready
My mind is ready
My sanity is ready
Thank you for trying to bring back Castlevania.
I am so excited for this new series. The rendition of Divine Bloodlines is the cherry on top!
