Review of Castlevania

Castlevania (2017–2021)
9/10
Great storytelling, minor flaws
16 March 2020
I have never played the games so I can't speak much for how well it's adapted. However, I was completely intrigued and loved the show from season 1.

The characters are so well written and fleshed-out. I even grew to like the "villains" of the show, and often humanity is pictured more appalling than the monsters themselves. The voice acting is terrific and the animation is flawless.

The story is incredibly dark and gruesome, with few moments of happiness and peace standing out. Season 3 had a few logical flaws for me, and Alucard needed a lot more screentime; his storyline was rushed and didn't make a lot of sense the way it happened.

Which leads to my only criticism for the show: The episodes need to be longer, or we need more episodes. I doubt budget is a problem at this point, so I'd love to see more time spent on the different story arcs and characters.
