Oh and also in some of the original stories, Dracula is capable of walking out in the sunlight. It's usually vampires after him that can't be out in the sun.
Yeah, also a bit of Castlevania lore, Dracula holds the position of "Dark Lord", so he's very literally evil incarnate, as without a Dark Lord/Evil itself, good could not exist. So he's not an ordinary vampire who would burn under the sunlight or, as he mentioned himself, be held back by silver, garlic and the cross.
haha you ladies are after my heart now! We are getting super spoiled, Arcane, Vox Machina, Castlevania... I am so happy right now, it was an instant click!
This episode did such a good job making you empathize with Dracula. Like, you know what he's doing is obviously bad...but you understand why he's doing it and can't really fault him for it.
CASTLEVANIA!?! OMG I WAS JUST SAYING THE OTHER DAY I FEEL LIKE REWATCHING AND NOW I GET TOO!!🙌🏽 I hope yall enjoy it, this is one of my favorite animated shows🔥🔥
Actually, that is incorrect. The fear of witchcraft and witch trials is not a part of middle-aged societies until the mid 1600s and later. You can see Historian Mikki brouks' recent Wired video on the history of it. They weren't burning witches in the time of this show.
This is actually incorrect and is steeped in post-enlightenment era assumptions and thinking. This series, at least at the start, was written by a known rabid anti-theist. The witch-burning trend was a early-modern thing (surprise!) and had nothing to do with science anyway. Not only that, science mostly was done by christian monks funded by the catholic church as they had the free time and resources.
It did, but mostly not because of the witch stuff. The witch hunts were pretty localized for what it's worth and weren't practiced in most of Europe. The general mistrust for science, severe punishments for challenging the established dogma and broken socioeconomic structures were though, and the church was the main culprit.
@@LoisoPondohva It did not, and it is a typical post-enlightenment/atheist myth narrative. There wasn't even a "general mistrust" for science, the Church was the main funder of science research and most of the foundations of science was established by christian monks and clergy members as they had the free time and resources. The witch hunts was actually a early-modern practice, and not for the reasons people typically imagine it to be.
The characters on castlevania are peak. ❤️ bit of lore, castlevania is based off of the game series, some characters are from the OLLLLLD games but dracula is gangster.
The voice acting in this is phenomenal! Everyone puts in their best and it has become a treat to recommend this to other acting colleagues and friends. Also it is VERY important to understand just how pwerful Dracula is in relation to the story, I cannot wait to hear you two's thoughts on the end of the first part. Also on how good an actor Graham is Great reaction, yall were asking the right questions so many times I couldnt help but smile at the anticipation of the reveals, canoot WAIT to see yall react to the rest of this show
The thing I love about this series as a Millennial is that the animation style is like an amped up, glorified version of the movie animations we got in the early 2000s. Like Treasure Planet, Atlantis the Lost Empire, and Prince of Egypt. The "American Anime" style, I called it. I know this series was outsourced for certain animations but still, it's like watching my childhood "strut." 😂
Can you imagine where we would be as a society if every single person in power in the Catholic Church or any of the religions in power during the Dark Ages and the Renaissance had been less power hungry and xenophobic, and more progressive and open minded?
The problem is that the people who are the most fearful are the ones who cling to religion the hardest. They basically are the eternal children, needing the protection of their parent, only when they outgrow their actual parents, they need something even more powerful like God to feel safe.
Organized religion is the single greatest thing holding back humanity from progress. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
Historically Catholics weren't particularly keen on witch trials; in fact, Catholic teachings explicitly outlawed condemning people as witches and condemned to death anyone who burnt a witch. The Inquisition was highly skeptical of accusations and was mostly geared towards murdering heretics instead. It was Protestants especially in Germany during the 30 year's war and later in in England started going nuts with Witch trials, killing at least 50 and maybe up to 100 thousand people.
Can I say, (and I’m not defending the Catholic Church as a institution here) but the idea that religion actively held back science is actually not really true, besides a few things here and there, it was a narrative largely created during the age of enlightenment as a condemnation of the Catholics and religion as a whole, in fact the church did a lot to help the development of modern science in Europe, because they were the ones who created and ran the first universities and hospitals and encouraged scholars to study nature as a way to understand God's creation. The dark ages, as a whole has pretty much fallen out favor with the academic community because it really only sort of describes what happened in France and England after the Roman’s left and the honest truth of the matter is even there it didn’t really happen, because the tribes and kingdoms that emerged after the Romans left, didn’t use writing that much (therefore, keeping later scholars in the dark) but we’re in their own way very sophisticated societies.
this show is KILLERRRR the animation and fights and characters are all so fun and cool to watch I cannot wait to see your reactions to what’s to come!! :D
I'm old enough to have played the original Castlevania in the arcade, but I wouldn't call myself a devotee of the lore. But this is absolutely top three of my favourite animated series of all time. It's incredible. I've never seen you guys before but I'm guessing you popped up in my feed because of my love for this series. Clicked immediately. Enjoy...
One of the reasons Dracula (this version and many others) is so powerful is because he's an exceptionally learned and skilled sorcerer. Even in the original novel, he was able to conjure a mist-like storm around the ship the Demeter during his voyage to London.
YESSS!!!! OMG I FELL IN LOVE WITH CASTLEVANIA RECENTLY AND YOU GUYS ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE REACTION CHANNEL SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPTIOUS WHEN I SAW THIS ON MY FEED 😭
New subscriber here! I found this video from my recomendation. Castlevania is one of my favorite show ever and it's really underrated! I hope you will enjoy it because it's gonna be a wild ride!
As a bit of historical fact for the real Vlad Dracula, Tepes is more a descriptor than a name. It means “the Impaler” because of his penchant for impaling his enemies when fighting the Turks. At one point he impaled 10,000 people which made the Turks retreat after coming across all those bodies. I love how Lisa wasn’t afraid of Vlad. My favorite line was “I can teach you to like people again, or tolerate them, or at least not put them on spikes”
Not only enemies. He impaled bunch of his own people. Adultery for example was punishable with death by impaling. At least for women. But true, he was christian and didn't like Ottomans that much.
Great show, great great show! The entire series is excellent, tons of fantastic characters, crazy action scenes (especially starting after this season), killer performances and cool as shit animation. One of the best things Netflix has in their library.
"Based on an old videogame" That's... possibly one of the biggest understatements you could have made. Castlevania is a legendary franchise with several DOZEN games that has been around since 1986. It's on the same level as The Legend of Zelda, Megaman, and Final Fantasy. This series is a top-tier adaptation of one of the GOATs of the videogame world.
OOO Yall should look at some World of Darkness lore, its a tabletop game that is pretty much the basis for Vampire series like Underworld. Theres a entire lore for Vampires, Ghosts, Wizards, Werewolves, etc that ties into the real world, to the point vampires originate from Cain from the bible. Best vampire lore ever.
"I gave you one year to make peace with your god, and what do you do? You celebrate the day you killed. My. Wife..." That is probably my favorite line altogether. When this came out i was a few months into a relationship. She's now my wife, and i agree, if something like that hapoend to me, I'd burn the world down. (Although I'd probably stop after Tagoviste was gone)
Yes!!!! This is one of my favorite animes! They did such a wonderful job of world building wallachia. I love your reactions and im so excited to get to watch your experience.
HELL YEAH CASTLEVANIA! This show is so good! AND a good friend of mine got to work on backgrounds for the last season of the original series + character animation for the sequel seires Castlevania: Nocturne!
We’re stoked to start this new series!! 🤩

"This is getting so dark so fast. I thought it would build up to it."
This is building up to it.
lol was going to say the same thing
Super build up!!!
my favorite show ever, with arcane
"You take my wife and deny that I even exist?"
The dialogue in this show is so goooood.
I truly wish that Graham McTavish had gotten an Emmy for his heartbreaking POWERHOUSE performance as Dracula!
Agreed, he's such an underrated actor.
I met him BEFORE this show came out. :( I did meet Lisa's VA though in 2020/2021.
There ARE no innocents! _Not anymore!_
Damn amazing line.
He’s been great in everything I’ve seen him in, always fun to watch.
@@MrVarder when he was fighting with Alucard and started saying (Lisa I'm killing our son) tears every time
7:21 his final mercy to the one human who treasured his wife’s memory. Still gives me haunting chills
I'VE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST!!! Critter here I loved your VM reactions and I'm SO EXCITED for this reaction love you guys!!
Same :)
Yay!!! We love our Critters! So excited to jump into another series together then! 🥰🙏🏼✨
Same

10:09 He isn't Satan. In fact, in one of the many Castlevania games, Satan actually stays in Hell because he is very much afraid of Dracula.
Oh and also in some of the original stories, Dracula is capable of walking out in the sunlight. It's usually vampires after him that can't be out in the sun.
In popular media, it wasn’t until Nosferatu that vampires straight up died in sunlight. Before that, it merely weakened them.
Yeah, also a bit of Castlevania lore, Dracula holds the position of "Dark Lord", so he's very literally evil incarnate, as without a Dark Lord/Evil itself, good could not exist. So he's not an ordinary vampire who would burn under the sunlight or, as he mentioned himself, be held back by silver, garlic and the cross.
This series is one of my favorites ever. It gets better with each season, I think u will enjoy it
Let’s gooo!!!

Objectively that period religion really did hold us back by at least 200 years because of all of that "omg witch!" stuff.
FACTSSS🙏🏼

I always love seeing people introduced to Castlevania. My favorite piece of media for sure!
I'm old enough to have played the original Castlevania in the arcade, but I wouldn't call myself a devotee of the lore. But this is absolutely top three of my favourite animated series of all time.

This entire series is a MASTERPIECE, enjoy.
Absolutely beautifuly drawn, and perfectly acted series. Season 3 and 4 especially. Get ready for one hell of a Rollercoaster ride.
One of the reasons Dracula (this version and many others) is so powerful is because he's an exceptionally learned and skilled sorcerer. Even in the original novel, he was able to conjure a mist-like storm around the ship the Demeter during his voyage to London.

Can't wait for you to see the rest of this series. If I remember correctly, season 3 is a bit weird, but aside from that, the show is amazing.
One of my favorite Netflix shows ever.
I'm super excited for this reaction series.

It's NOT on the level of Zelda or final fantasy, come on.
It's a great show! I hope you enjoy the rest of it.
oh wow okay...........not gonna lie i honestly thought yall were sisters until i saw the title of this video...
also castlevania is awesome!..
You are in store for some great lore and amazing world building!
OOO Yall should look at some World of Darkness lore, its a tabletop game that is pretty much the basis for Vampire series like Underworld. Theres a entire lore for Vampires, Ghosts, Wizards, Werewolves, etc that ties into the real world, to the point vampires originate from Cain from the bible.
Best vampire lore ever.
YOOOOO, I was so sad at the Vox Machina reactions ending, can't believe y'all are jumping straight into another fantastic show
Yes!!!!! Thanks for taking it on it’s so so so great
🤩❤️🙏🏼
"I gave you one year to make peace with your god, and what do you do? You celebrate the day you killed. My. Wife..."
That is probably my favorite line altogether. When this came out i was a few months into a relationship. She's now my wife, and i agree, if something like that hapoend to me, I'd burn the world down.

Loved your fallout reaction. So glad y'all checking this masterpiece out.
This show is INCREDIBLE!
What a badass series. Gets better
I'm so glad you're watching this amazing show! ❤🐺
9:53 I'm not sure, but I think it's because that is a magic mirror that a vampire's reflection even shows.
Oh heck yeah ya’ll are in for a ride! Nocturnes great too!
Omg omg omg how did I miss this
This show is so freaking good
10:43 Wait till you watch "Frieren: Beyond journey's end" XD
Another great show to watch btw.
Yes!!!! This is one of my favorite animes! They did such a wonderful job of world building wallachia. I love your reactions and im so excited to get to watch your experience.
This show is great across the board, and then starts pulling emotional haymakers out of no where. A must-see for animation fans.
This show is just embarrassingly good and everyone involved should be extremely proud of their work.
I think Meesh would probably enjoy the live-action series Wolf Like Me.
always a pleasure to see the excitement and enthusiasm of your work, ladies 👍☺
Thank you so much! 🥰
HELL YEAH CASTLEVANIA! This show is so good! AND a good friend of mine got to work on backgrounds for the last season of the original series + character animation for the sequel seires Castlevania: Nocturne!
This is so dope!! Thanks for sharing with us :)
Ya'll are going to love this show
I laughed when you said Dracula was acting like batman. have we forgotten the OG Bat - Man? Bruce wayne stole dracs swag
