Haha numerous simultaneous Captain N posts. Love it!

 

[Penguin]

Curious how Konami will leverage it in the video game space

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

...satirical ?

ok

Adventure Time is kinda a satirical Zelda.....ok not really

 

[Stone Ocean]

Maybe we can finally get 1999 now

 

[Astral Dog]

Konami is okay with this....?

💰💲💳

 

[OmegaFax]

Dredd was pretty good. The Punisher and Power Rangers shorts that Adi Shankar produced were also fun to watch. I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt and say "why not?" and see what happens.

 

[Shredderi]

I... Don't know yet how to feel about this. If it looked like Vampire Hunter D it could be perfect, but that's not happening. Likely anything close to it isn't happening.

 

[tmarg]

As much as I would love for it to be good, I have no faith in anything Konami does.

 

[Nirolak]

 

[Yu Furealdo]

Could be fun--I'll give it a shot.

 

[Philippo]

Animated? Or live action?

 

[Sectorseven]

As a brand, isn't Castlevania essentially a bunch of public domain monsters thrown together?

Not sure what they're licensing exactly.

 

[radios shipping overview]

We are in the darkest timeline. We have to go back.

 

[Takao]

I want to see how this looks. Frederator being involved does not leave me with confidence but I'm not sure if they've attempted something like Castlevania before.

 

[atr0cious]

...satirical ?

ok

That dude is the reason power rangers got a reboot. He produces great "adult"versions of iconic characters. His James Bond is also really good. Dude is weird but good. Forgot he produced Dredd too.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Which Belmont are they going to use?

Because Julius is best Belmont.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

cool, i'll check it out.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Really depends on what the artstyle is for me.

 

[L.O.R.D]

man,can't wait for more erotic violence .

 

[Gai Murakumo]

This has the potential to be good, but more than likely it will be terrible.

 

[13ruce]

Lol it's like every classic game series had a tv show gonna watch m all someday and have a laugh.

 

[Arkanius]

I want the EROTIC VIOLENCE version

 

[akidnamededdy]

...satirical ?

ok

When I see "satirical" I hear "we are gonna somehow cram Trump jokes into this and they will both suck and feel terribly out of place."

Optimism minus 10%

 

[ProtomanNeo]

Pachinko tie in confirmed?

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Here's hoping the "satire" bit just involves Dracula (or whatever Big Bad) looking kinda like Peter Thiel.

The man already craves young blood!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Needs to be rated m for mature. No kids stuff

 

[atr0cious]

Nah, don't bring video game logic to this. Dude has his hands on all kinds of great projects.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Gonna go out on a limb here and say "the name 'Castlevania.'"

Also probably the Belmonts, Vampire Killer, Alucard, etc.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I hope it's 2D animated.

 

[Takao]

He wrote that a year ago and given the context I don't think he means political jokes. I'd be more fearful of totally relevant Twilight/Vampire Diaries potshots or something.

 

[Fancolors]

Konami is okay with this....?

If we are lucky they will adapt the series into a pachinko

 

[13ruce]

Julius Belmont era (1999) would be nice if we don't get a game we atleast can see it on a tv show!

 

[Shadow Ranger]

I'll be more interested in animated. But that PR gritty take doesn't instill me with much confidence.

 

[chrislowe]

Have no high hopes since most of netflix originals have been so-so.

 

[Wulfric]

Hmm... I don't know how I feel about this. As long as there isn't any pachinko involved, I'd watch it.

 

[Pinky]

"A guaranteed hit!"

*Came for this. Leaves satisfied.*

OPTIMISM MINUS 20%

Still y'all say he's done some good stuff, I'll definitely give it a look. Not like we're getting a game anytime soon...

 

[Cuburt]

Did this count as Castlevania satire?

 

[brandonh83]

I dug up some old Twitter posts when this news was apparently broke in 2015 or even before, and it seems like it's going to be based around Castlevania III, satirical and very violent. I dunno about the whole satirical thing, it's not really what I associate with Castlevania but we'll see.

Castelvania TV-Series |OT| A miserable little pile of episodes

[Dr. Letz Shake]

remember that shelved project they were going to do with Castlevania like a decade ago?

this is that. My friend is working on it and from what they described it was those scripts.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Or somewhere in-between.

Nonsense.

 

[OniBarubary]

Man, the talent behind this has me tentatively hopeful. Like, Shankar and Seibert have done some great stuff. Do we know who's writing it, let me-

Warren Ellis is writing the first season

 

[Foffy]

If this is still the same Castlevania project that was in limbo, this is an animated adaptation of Dracula's Curse.

 

[Pila]

What a wonderful night to have a sub

Lol man. ^^

Dunno, not a big fan of series. I do miss Castlevania games.

Oh man. I get to see an animated version of Grant DaNasty? YASS!

ftfy

 

[Wandering Robot]

I'd give it a shot, to say I haven't played any Castlevania games. Haven't been to disappointed with Netflix Originals so far, and this being animated could be interesting.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Hey guys, I have exclusive footage of the opening!

Spoiler

For real though, kinda interested. Curious to see if they lean more on the old line or the Lords of Shadow stuff
