This is one video game adaptation that is truly on another level, and I don't just mean by how violent it can be

Gotta really love the shout out at the beginning of the review.

Personally, I have never played any of the Castlevania games myself and I’m not really a huge fan of the games, but with that said, I definitely will not deny that this ended up being a fantastic series and without a doubt one of the best video games adaptations of all time, an in my opinion right up there with Sonic The Hedgehog 2. The series does a great job staying true to the games, the action is awesome and intense, and it is violent in all the right ways. In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best adult animated series we have ha in recent years and it definitely is capable of appealing to fans of the games, and it definitely is a sign that video game adaptations are getting better rather it be with movies or TV shows. Also, Mat I like that scene at the beginning of the review where you were dressed up as The Angry Video Game Nerd that was definitely pretty funny and a nice reference.

Glad you review it because I for one love this series as I see this along with Arcane as one of the best video game adaptation for movies and TV series out there. I watched it when my mom first started talking about it as she like vampire related films like Bram Stroker’s Dracula for example as I end up loving the show. When I first I saw the series, I was surprised to see people that people that made it like Frederator Studios, who made The Fairly OddParents and Adventure Time, in making an adult animated series along with recognizable actors getting involved such as Bill Nighy, Malcolm McDowell, Theo James from Divergent, and even Graham McTavish as Dracula which I known him since playing The Saint of Killer in Preacher for AMC while getting an autograph from him and regardless I found it absolutely epic and incredible. I was bummed out with just 4 episodes of the first season but gotten really excited when I saw the whole second season. For season three and four, I had my concerns particularly with season three where it doesn’t go anywhere with Tim plot despite the action scenes and awesome animation. As a whole, I really enjoyed it a lot from the voice acting, characters, writing, action scenes along with gory moments, direction, visuals, commentary of religion, villains, the animation, and strong emotional moments. If I were to ranked them, I would rank season 2 first, season 4 second, season 1 third, and season 3 last but still it is an amazing adult animated shows I ever seen and I put it along side Arcane and Primal to show as a example how to move forward in making some amazing adult animated series that doesn’t have to be that Family Guy like levels. It a shamed that it ended but I loved it overall.

I don’t know if this is going to get buried because of how late it is as I am typing this, but this was a great review of the Netflix Castlevania series. Shame Netflix themselves are in a bit of a pickle, though.

I've never played the games but after hearing about it thanks to The Angry Videogame Nerd out of my own curiosity (and a great nod to him in the beginning of the video Mat). But after watching the series, I think this was the start for video game adaptations to get the proper adaptations they deserve. And a great leap from Frederator Studios to do this.
