Quote:
Frederator Studios, the animation house responsible for Fairly Odd Parents and Adventure Time, has been trying to get an adaptation of the beloved Dracula-whipping action game franchise Castlevania off the ground for ages. According to the studio’s founder, it sounds like the series could now be on track.

Frederator have owned the rights to an adaptation of Konami’s long running supernatural fantasy franchise—which follows different generations of the Belmont Family as they discover their penchant for whipping the hell out of monsters, eating chickens hidden in castle walls, and that they’re part of a multi-generational quest to destroy Dracula once and for all (until the next one)—for over a decade. But so far, any attempts to capitalize on them has repeatedly stuttered.

However, fresh rumors about a Castlevania series from the studio produced by Dredd’s Adi Shankar have been swirling since Summer 2015, and it seems like there’s a good chance that series is actually happening and is on the way. Fred Seibert, the founder of Frederator, recently spoke to the Nick Animation podcast about his career, and in discussing future projects for the studio beyond Adventure Time (which is set to end in 2018), Seibert subtly hinted that Castlevania is happening after all these years:

We have a project now that we’re doing that needs to go unnamed, based one of the most world-famous video games of the last 30 years, that we’ve had in our shop for 12 years without being able to get it started. But there were great characters, and a great story, and we eventually got it going.

While he didn’t mention it by name, the note that it’s a project they’ve been trying to get off the ground for ages, and the fact that it’s a “world-famous video game of the last 30 years”—the Castlevania franchise turned 30 this past September—seem to be heavy hints that Seibert is indeed talking about Castlevania.

I doubt it will happen, there have already been multiple failed attempts at making an anime movie and a live action movie.

Confirmed and will appear on netflix
Quote:
Netflix has been holding an event today where it’s announcing the bulk of its upcoming programming slate. Nestled in the press release was this:
    Castlevania Season 1, Part 1 Coming to Netflix in 2017


This is literally all we know for sure at the moment, but the project is likely the same one that’s been reported as being in development from Frederator Networks (Adventure Time) and producer Adi Shankar, who was behind that gritty Power Rangers short back in 2015. On an episode of the Nick Animation podcast late last year, Seibert said that Frederator was ramping up on an unnamed video game project. His words, as per Slashfilm transcription:
    We have a project right now that we’re doing that needs to go unnamed, based on one of the most world-famous video games of the last 30 years, that we’ve had in our shop for 12 years without being able to get it started. But there were great characters and a great story, and eventually we got it going.


Prior to that, Shankar had said he’d be doing work on a Castlevania series with Seibert.
I’m producing a super violent Castlevania mini-series with my homies Fred Seibert and Kevin Klonde. It’s going to be dark, satirical, and after a decade of propaganda it will flip the vampire sub-genre on its head.

So, signs seem to point that the Netflix show is this Seibert/Shankar collaboration. An article up on The Globe and Mail reports that Warren Ellis has done the writing for the show’s first season. We’ll have to wait for more official details to be 100% sure and will update if they come through.

You have my attention.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Renewed For Season 2

Quote:
In addition, the internet TV network has increased the episode order from four in its first season to eight for Season 2


http://deadline.com/2017/07/castlevania-animated-series-renewed-season-2-netflix-1202125024/

PS


- the art style is nice.
- the story is rushed (especially the part about Dracula and his wife, 4x 20+ minutes episodes..) and the writing is not very good
- the humor is not funny.
- action is Okeish.
- I didn't like some of the voice over..It's not a problem with the casting, there isn't just much "energy" to it.
- The final scenes with "the sleeping soldier" were pretty good.The fight was the best part of the show.

This is not D:Bloodlust ..~ 7/10 at best.

But it has some potential..Hopefully its writing gets better in the second season..

Warren Ellis writing style is not for everyone, it's the same as in his comic books as some love his style in books like Transmetropolitan and some just hate it.

Agree with every point, that's pretty much it.
Not overly fond of the art-style/character design, but at least since it's Netflix there's no censoring. Since they put some money into it, the animation is pretty good for today's standards.

This was decent but way too short. Animation, art quality and all that was top notch.

Voice acting was not great, and Belmont's lines were quite forced and cheesy at times..."well shit".

Still looking forward to s2.

Netflix is fucking useless. I log in and see the same old thing being listed, often repeated as I scroll, yet I have to go to a damn release site to see that season 2 of a show I have watched (and given a thumbs up) is now available


Read your emails more often then? I always get notified.
