Castlevania's Second Season Airs On Netflix This Summer

Sadly, I have no Netflix account.

Can't wait. Man, this feels like such a good time for a new 2D Castlevania game on the Switch.

Perhaps get Mercury Steam on it. Admittedly I was one of the few people who loved the 3DS game but either way I reckon they've deserved another shot after their Metroid showing.

Nice, I'll be binging this.

Nice. After a slightly slow start for the first couple of episodes, I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next season.

The rest of season one you mean? Ha ha, hate how some shows do this. Game of Thrones even doing it to drag it out. I think the new Voltron did it too with a couple of seasons on Netflix.

@admwllms i really liked that game, too! amazing visuals and very fun to play. never played castlevania before so i can't compare it to the other games

@6ch6ris6 I've played most of them and genuinely feel like it holds up to the classics but appreciate that's not a popular opinion at all.

I did enjoy the series quite a bit.

Loved season 1. Give it to Retro and let them do what they did to the Metroid franchise....

I loved season one (despite not being that much into the games), but I could never recommend it to friends because it ended so abruptly. I guess this summer I can finally tell them to give it a shot!

cough I can't afford Netflix

Love, LOve , LOVE this series. It made me play Symphony of the NIghts again.It also made me get 100% completion as I saw Alachard in a new light.

I wish it was sooner, but I'm looking forward to the second season!

Cool.

Nice

Are you ready to whip it? I am ready to whip it!

@admwllms I'm not too hot on the quick time event bosses. Is it really that good?

The guy in the picture must be horrified at being forced to read another spammy NLife article.

@Captain_Toad me either tbh but they didn't ruin it for me.

With it being quite a divisive game I'd recommend watching a play through of the first level on YouTube or something to see if you like the look.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying its Rondo good, but yeah I enjoyed it very much, far more than most of the reviews I've seen would suggest.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first one. It needs more episodes!

Glad the second season is getting more episodes, that was the only problem with the first season. Can't wait!

@River3636 Alachard? I think you may have never realized where Alucard’s name comes from. Read it back to front.

Looking forward to it!

@Yasaal and @Kalmaro,

Youtube is your friend! And sure there are some other sites, but they are dubious and at your own risk.

@aaronsullivan You are right. I totally misspelled it. Dracula spelled backward. I remember. I posted fast. Oh the shame. LOl. "Count Alucard is a fictional character created by American filmmakers Robert and Curt Siodmak for their 1943 horror film Son of Dracula. Like his father Count Dracula, Alucard is a vampire, a mythological creature that lives by sucking the life force from living creatures. Alucard was first performed by Lon Chaney Jr. in Son" (Wiki 2018). THere is a lot more than you think my friend.

I watched one episode, it was garbage. Graphic violence against children, bestiality references, and profanity just-because-they-can. They were just trying to get an R rating by being as tasteless as possible.
The producers should be ashamed because they know a lot of younger kids are going to find a way to watch this because it's based on a game.

@Prizm A game series that no child has played in a really long time?

Like really, the last game in the series came out a several years ago, and that was rated m.

The first season was so good but ended so quickly. Quality over quantity is an approach I greatly appreciate in a show

@Henmii >they are dubious and at your own risk

Duh, that's why I can't watch it. Can't risk it... I'll try finding some sites but so far I want to be on th safe side...

@Prizm The games are more aimed at adults and horror fans rather than children. Heck, even recent games have aimed for an M rating

@Malcrash @Meowpheel - Thanks for the replies guys, I just felt it was over the top, especially compared to the regular M standards that the later games had (and we all know younger kids play M games anyway). There may not have been a CV game for a while, but it's in gaming culture, most younger gamers today will at least recognise what it is.
Anyway, that was just my opinion on the Netflix series.

Meh. I watched 2, maybe 3 episodes. I’ll finish it eventually, but I just didn’t find it compelling at all. I’m cool with the violence and gore, but the rest nearly put me to sleep.

@Yasaal,

I understand. Youtube is always safe though, and I am sure some people upload it in decent quality!

@Prizm I was disappointed with this to since creator isa big game of thrones fan he tried makin castlevania animated series just like that there was no horror no gothic feel and non of the great music of castlevania

@Meowpheel the last good castlevania that came out was order of ecclesia nothing else came out after that game

@rockman_zero well the only Castlevania game I've played is 64, so the series might as well not exist

I enjoyed the series, but for season 2, more episodes should be more like S1E4, where Simon actually battles monsters.

@KayFiOS Trevor.

I really enjoyed the first season. My Castlevania experience is limited to the NES trilogy, and I saw enough clever allusions to elements from the three games to keep me satisfied.

I think video game universes should have loose continuities to allow experimentation. This is a fine riff on Castlevania themes.

@PigmaskFan D'oh! I just woke up, so I'm still half-asleep.

@rockman_zero I thought the last good one was the first Lords of Shadow (the only Castlevania where Hideo Kojima was involved in). It was a solid action game with a cool twist at the end

@Kalmaro https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D2sHL_eLnqZY&ved=0ahUKEwjHyofet-jYAhWqBcAKHey2CgIQtwIIHTAA&usg=AOvVaw2y5EvoZ45lXEShNWnoiOuU

Not my kind of thing so I'm away to watch Count Duckula instead. 🦇

Nice! The first season was awesome. They definitely kept the Castlevania tradition. All these upset people want Mousketeers in Castlevania and frankly, the franchise was never about that. It's like going to watch Deadpool and expecting Moana.

Here's hoping this prompts Konami to actually care about the franchise again. Would prefer to skip all the Lords of Shadow junk though.

@Henmii I sure do hope they weren't taken down by YouTube then... YouTube has been on a killing spree lately and the Logan Paul drama didn't help reduce it at all...

@ZeldaToThePast
Yeah I was irradiated that Voltron was releasing 13 episodes every 6 months and calling it a season when on TV it would be called a mid season. Then they switched to 7/6 episodes every three/four months and call those seasons when on TV that's called a Steven Bomb.

Each run of episodes don't have to be a season Netflix! Then again they probably do this because labeling something a new season gets more views.

Konami should hire M2 again to make another classic-style Castlevania like the excellent Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth on WiiWare.

I hope the rumor about the Rebirth series getting ported to the Switch turnes out true.

Stoked. I loved the first season, even though it was so short.

I liked the first season. I hope it remains good.

Excellent. Gotta conclude the "Dracula's Curse" story

@Yasaal,

Lol, there are always people who slip through the net. If only for a day.

@Henmii I hope I get lucky and find one that's without any of the generic issues in every unofficial video (I think you already know what I mean bc this happens everytime)

@Yasaal,

You mean the fake ones that just try to lure you to evil sites? Well, often the thumbnail, description and runtime are a indication whether it is fake or not. Many fake-ones have wallpaper-esque thumbnails, very long runtimes and descriptions like "go to this or that site". Avoid those and look for the good ones. You still have to scroll through many fake ones that way though, but I hope it helps!

@Henmii Ya let's hope so
