Alucard and some others had lots of animation, and some people think that means they are 'good sprite work'.Tbh it has tons of parallax, but I agree.
SOTN sprites are from a previous generation and they were never that good to begin with. The actual pixel art is quite coarse, very low res and flat if you compare it to even older stuff like, idk.. Demon's Crest or Ghouls'n'Ghosts.
Nice usage of transparencies and special effects but that's about it
I personally think they are quite nice sprites, but reasonably poorly animated. Lots of frames but awkward balance of animation and movement, eg walking animations. It's also a massively inconsistent game, some elements look like Mega Drive, others like Neo Geo.
What it does really well is integration of effects, like lots of rotation and nicely integrated 3D, like the chapel.
