Fun fact, The Year Dracula arrived was a Leap Year meaning there'd be an extra year. It's possible they celebrated when 366 days passed thinking 365 days = 1 Year when Dracula would've known better than that 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Also, the real life Vlad Tepes had a fucked up childhood as a prisoner of both the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Ottoman Empire, his older brother and father were executed by the Turks and Boyars, his younger brother Radu sold him out to the Turks, converted to Islam and (Allegedly) fucked the son of the Sultan who executed their father and older brother, ironically to this day Vlad is considered a national hero in Romania and a villain and traitor in Turkey and for Radu it`s the other way around !Just goes to show history especially ancient history ain`t as objective as we like ta think and different countries and cultures view historical figures in very different lights!
1. You are in for a *wild* ride 2. This first episode sold me on the show instantly back when the first 4 episodes was all we had and show's future was uncertain. Dracula in this is a near perfect adaptation of his character from the games and the voice actor steals *every scene.* 3. Just for context, this show is adapting the "story" of Castlevania 3 I put "story" in quotations cause there wasn't much. Castlevania as a franchise is *infamous* for adding lore and context *after the fact* in future games and spinoffs. To cut a long story short, this is them telling the story of Castlevania 3, but with the lore and context that was added in Symphony of the Night and Curse of Darkness. Fun fact: Castlevania was the originator of Metroidvania games which as per the name, includes Metroid tho its funny that the originator isn't the namesake of the genre lol. Also Dracula's castle in the games, on top of being able to teleport wherever he wanted could also reorder and restructure itself to an almost infinite degree, so it is literally *The Castlevania*
Thanks for adding the context and fun facts for this series. We didn't know how loosely it was based on the game and if it was following a plot from the games or not. This info helps. 😊
In case if you didn’t realize, Castlevania’s Dracula (arguably the strongest Vampire in any media) is not you average Vampire. He is essentially the Vassal for Chaos itself. In other words, he basically the Devil or the very least the anti-Christ
yeah no, id say arcueid brunestud takes the cake of most powerfull vampire in media easily, she can literally bend reality to be whatever she needs at the time, and even while 70% of her power is supressed at all times characters often conclude "its not a matter of me being weaker or her being stronger, rather she's an existence that simply transcends something as trivial as having its power evaluated in the first place" like she can beat goku simply because she can bend reality into whatever she needs it to be no matter how unlikely or even impossible it is, she'd win simply by changing reality on the fly to a reality where the stars aline prefectly so she can
@@xxxhalo4everxxx If your taking netflix Dracula he's actually not that strong but game Dracula is on a whole different level entirely, like his mere presence terrifies a being that can destroy all timelines that exist in castlevania, just chew on that for a sec...
@@Death-ds4xo pretty legit, but i still think arcueid wins due to the absolute bullshit nature of her main abillity which is turning anything she desires into reality impossibillity in possibility its like "you cant beat me iam vlad dracula tepes!" and it would basically be: "you're right" *grabs and crushes marble from her jar of infinite bullshit* "now i can tho"
Dracula hated humanity before his wife, it was clear he wanted nothing to do with humanity but his wife convinced him to give them a second chance, he wasn't addressing the people at the burning, he was addressing humanity The over guy wasn't afraid of the "farmers" it's more unwanted attention
You know, an interesting dichotomy in this episode that I feel not a lot of people notice or think about (I definitely didn’t) is when Dracula is talking to the mystery figure he justifies himself by saying no one is innocent since no one stood up to the church and tell them that the burning at the stake was wrong. Then, when the mystery figure tells Dracula that his genocide is wrong, he is attacked. Kinda goes to show that it’s not so simple for the common person to just speak up against figure of total influence. It also kinda shows the blind hypocrisy of Dracula driven by his grief.
They do a good job with how little time they spend on Lisa. And they had to. For if we didn't believe how much of an impact her love and kindness had on Dracula, his rage would ring more hollow than vengeance inherently is.
You totally get where Dracula is coming from, and even support him at first. But then you get a better look at what he's doing and feel like he's maybe going overboard.
First two seasons are good. Season 3 was pretty meh, from it being a lot of filler and a lot of characters being ruined. And Season 4 was somewhat better but no where near as good as the first two. As for Nocturne? It can burn. They changed way too much.
FYI This Anime is Based on Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which is the Prequel to Castlevania (the original game). It stars Trevor Belmont, ancestor of Simon Belmont, the main character from the first game.
On the left handed thing youre 100% true, my aunt was born left handed and the nuns literally beat her til she became right handed when she went to Catholic school growing up. One of the MANY reasons i left the Catholic church
I love this series, but be prepared to cry, cheer, and clutch at your mouth to say "Oh my god..." because this is one of the few that has brought me to tears more times than not. Thank you Ken and Bethany for watching Castlevania, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I will enjoy your reactions.
@@emanymton713 nor did they even know she was married to a vampire much less dracula, THAT would honestly be a much more reasonable excuse to accuse her of conspiring with the devill then "omg she has bottles with springs fucking witch lol"
Yes! One of the best animated shows Netflix has ever put out. Let the journey begin! The Castlevania series is based off the games, but I’ll leave the details as to not spoil the experience. It’s such an interesting story with so many possible talking points. One of my favorites being the justification of Dracula’s genocide. Yes, the killing of Lisa was evil no doubt. But what of the innocents? The ones who did not participate? Dracula says that _“anyone could have spoke up and said no, we won’t be animals.”_ - but at what cost? Is it really that simple? Would you stand up to violence and hate if it meant putting your family and loved ones in the crosshairs of madmen? Madman with power nonetheless. Such an amazing series.
True. Standing up to evil is easier said then done when its your life and your loved ones lives on the line. Love shows that bring up those interesting philosophical questions 😀
Ah Castlevania, I adore this show. Not just one of the best video game adaptations, but a truly amazing show. It has one of my favorite lineages to ever grace media, and perhaps the greatest interpretation of an extremely iconic villain, Dracula. I truly look forward to the reaction.
This show is heavily inspired by Castlevania three. But a lot of the locations and background art moving forward, or heavily inspired by symphony of the night, which came out on the PlayStation.
I'm a big fan of Warren Ellis. The greatest choice he ever made in adapting this story was humanizing Dracula. You feel so much for him even though he is gonna do horrible things
This show is fantastic on every aspect of it. The storyline, Writing + Comedy, the Animation, but above all the fighting choreography is one of the best n keep getting better each season. This is like a combination of “Avatar: Las Air Vender” & “Arcane”, n it was Netflix first R rated animation production.
I love this show and am on season 4 and even made one of my D&D characters a Human Rogue named Trevor Belmont since that campaign is horror themed and I felt like it fit well
You mention how messed up it is for someone to take their kids to a witch burning, but that kind of thing historically happened all the time. It was considered to be both good entertainment and an object lesson for the kiddos: don't become a criminal or a witch or a heretic or whatever, or you'll be punished the the most horrendous way possible. Roman women often took their children to the Colosseum and arenas and between the big gladiator fights they would put condemned criminals into the pit with wild animals to be torn apart. They thought it was good family fun. The Norse used to take their kids to watch public executions then afterwards beat them as hard as they could, linking the memory of the execution with the pain of the beating. Supposedly to discourage their children from committing the same crimes.
You touched on it so quick, but my buddy whose family is not okay levels of Christian. Growing up his dad used to tell him that writing with his left hand made him look stupid, and when he and his brother transferred to a private Christian school he was punished for writing with his left hand. He is now ambidextrous, and can write and draw very well with both.
I guess Castlevania is so old now people don't really know about it. At least to the point where Belmont and Alucard aren't recognizable names anymore.
Castlevania is a beloved classic but this anime adaptation certainly holds a candle to the classic For the entire first season its really hard to not feel bad for Drac since whatever little humanity was left it was taken away and destroyed No matter how much humans hide behind god and religious faith, nothing ever comes out of it I dont know for sure if the people who run the show are doing it just to showcase the true story of Dracula or take the opportunity to criticize the catholic church but either way the result is an awesome but very gruesome show
So glad you guys finally started to watch the series X3 Castlevania is an awesome franchise I hope this series awaken an interest on you two on playing the games too
Found this a week or so after the fact, but since they brought it up I wanted to chime in with my two cents. As I suspect our hosts know, the Latin for "left" is literally "sinister"... as opposed to "dexter", meaning "right", from which we get words like "dexterity". Ain't language fascinating? Related: I'm not old enough to remember when teachers were forcing left-handed students to use their right hands in class, but I am old enough to remember my teachers recalling memories of it being a thing.
Great 1st episode, now imagine seeing that episode and then having to wait like a year for the rest of the season........... Dracula literally gave them 1 year out of respect for his wife, because she would not want him to kill them, plus to build his army, although technically he can wipe them all out no problem. You learn who the man in the bar is in episode 2.
Glad to see you start your castlevania journey….. as for the ending scene, listen to the guy at the bar again…. The belmonts are a family of monster hunters that pretty much were exiled by the church, (a major recurring thing through out the series) and when the family was exiled they pretty much became social outcasts by the community…… if I remember correctly the whole family line were hunted and killed by everyone….. so much hate was aimed towards the family name…. That they are now known as a joke…. So who you saw at the end hiding was a last line of the Belmont clan….. Trevor Belmont As for Dracula he is most tragic and memorable character in this show.
2:44 *Lisa:* "Start with me and I'll start with you." *Ken and Bethany's Dog:* * weird self-licking sounds * 😆 I just thought that was funny for some reason. 😀
You know Dracula had good reasons to do this, his wife was helping people and even told Dracula to learn what it means to be human. And what did the church do: burned her alive, accused her to be a witch, amd condemned her to hell. Dracula gave them one last chance to for forgiveness and instead they celebrate her death. Dracula was not the villain.
Except he is. He's a villan because he isn't just attacking the church nor is he stopping at that one city. He's killing millions of innocents across and entire country because of a handful of guilty. He's killing people who have no idea who his wife was. He tells the people that they could have stood up to the church as an immortal all powerful being who has very little he actually cares about. He calls humans evil yet he summons forth demons from hell and allies himself with vampires infinitely more cruel and evil than anything humanity could conjure. There is more than one villan here and Dracula is more evil than all of them
Dexter and sinister are Latin for right and left respectively. Maybe the connotation of bad stems from the metaphorical use of other, or opposite. On one hand X is good; on the other hand, Y is ...
The lore of Dracula from this is not the same as Bram Stoker. Some elements are similar. The loss of his 1st wife is what drove him to become a vampire as a means of mocking God. After the previous vampire lord was slain he took possession of an artifact that he had and became the vampire we see now calling himself Dracula. This was only possible because he orchestrated a plan to get his best friend's (Leon Belmont) wife abducted by the vampire because he knew he was skilled enough to battle it.
Like several other animated portrayals of Christian branches, this kind of thing tends to lean mostly on Catholicism (ex. Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hellsing Ultimate) The only reason one year seems reasonable was only due to how long it would take to summon the army hordes he just unleashed on them later Also,….💕💕PUPPIES💕💕
Well, well! I’m impressed that you’re watching this! I first went into it with low expectations, but figured I’d be entertained. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it is. 🤯 Or as violent, which only proves that sometimes I’m an idiot. 😂
Fun fact, The Year Dracula arrived was a Leap Year meaning there'd be an extra year.
It's possible they celebrated when 366 days passed thinking 365 days = 1 Year when Dracula would've known better than that 😅
That is a wild fact! Thanks for sharing haha 😛
Dracula is that one interesting character that was given the most valid reason to go full villain since episode one.

As a husband myself, I say Dracula was being too generous in his revenge. Too many would survive...
Trevor Belmont is voiced by Thorin from hobbit , such a great voice gritty

Also Dracula is voiced by Dwalin in The Hobbit 🤣

One of the best things the show does is that it makes you emphasize with Dracula. He's trying to kill everyone, but do you blame him?
Exactly. They get you on Dracula's side right away even though his goal is murder. Very tough to pull off but the show does it 🤗

The first two seasons are based on Castlevania III, for the NES; but it also pulls in elements, characters, and lore other Castlevania games as well.
Good to know 😊
This show is fantastic. It’s one of the best written shows I’ve seen.

Like several other animated portrayals of Christian branches, this kind of thing tends to lean mostly on Catholicism (ex. Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hellsing Ultimate)
The only reason one year seems reasonable was only due to how long it would take to summon the army hordes he just unleashed on them later

always puppies 🐶 😜☺️
I’m guessing the scene in the church was copyright hell, cause it’s definitely what bought me into this show
Get ready for the best voice acting you’ve heard probably ever
OH DAMNN HERE WE GOOOO!
Aww ye
Let's get SPOOKY
I am soooo happy you are doing this series it's great (last season somewhat of a throw-away for me compared to the first two but still good).
Last season being Nocturne? Or the last season being Season 4? 🤔
Oh yes; this show is GREAT. You guys, coming out of Cyberpunk to this, crazy.
yessssy'all in for a treat!
Well, well! I’m impressed that you’re watching this! I first went into it with low expectations, but figured I’d be entertained. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it is. 🤯
Or as violent, which only proves that sometimes I’m an idiot. 😂
Oh I missed the first three episode but now I'm hoping own to the train excited for this
Woow hell yeah!! Castlevania!!!!
This is all the bishop's fault
This IS A GOOD SHOW 🍻
Ah yes love watching fresh reactions to this show
One of my favorite anime
This show was a great watch with cider and novelty ice skulls.
Welp this is gonna be a ride glad to be here
Not showing the reaction to the opening is borderline criminal
Castlevania is a great show.

EXCELLENT choice
I love this show, I'm happy now I have another series to watch with u (before I was watching just RWBY)

I was wrapped into this show the first 10 minutes. How you burn my wife because you saw beakers lol
As an asshole named Trevor I can safely say the family owes a lot to his actions IMO 😂😂
should check out blue eye samurai sometime, its pretty good.
1st two seasons are good.
Love this series
Damn you're chaining bangers
Oh shit, you found another banger to react to
Oh yeah this one Is good
This show is fantastic. I was wondering when you'd be checking castlevania out
Awesome episode
Hell yeah!
