For four seasons, Netflix’s Castlevania has delivered a diamond standard of American animation in this criminally underrated series. More than just a powerhouse of Western anime styling, Castlevania has devoted itself to bloody, brilliant horror and competently tackling a piece of beloved source material. The entire series has been one hell of a ride and Castlevania’s fourth season brings the story to a close on a perfect note.
Castlevania is the creation of Warren Ellis and based on the iconic Japanese video game series. The series is directed by Sam Deats, Adam Deats, and Spencer Wan, and brought to life by the hometown favorite of this critic, Powerhouse Animation Studios. Castlevania features the voice talents of Richard Armitage, James Callis, Graham McTavish, and Alejandra Reynoso, with exciting appearances by the likes of Billy Nighy and Malcolm McDowell in the later seasons.

Entertainment Luz Noceda, the protagonist of the show, is a 14-year-old who wants to become a witch.Tnm StaffDisney has given us many warm and memorable animation films, but it is not particularly known for being inclusive in representing the Lgbtqi+ community. Which is why, when it came out that Luz Noceda, the 14-year-old protagonist of a new series on the Disney Channel called The Owl House, is a bisexual character, it was cause for celebration. Luz has made history by becoming Disney’s first bisexual lead. Dana Terrace, who created the series, confirmed the same. On the show, Luz, a teenager, goes to another world to become a witch despite not having magical abilities. Dana said that she was open about her intention to put queer kids in the main cast. However, she was initially told by certain Disney leadership that she “could not represent any form of bi...

Fans were extremely hyped when Avatar: The Last Airbender landed on Netflix earlier this year, though the celebrations were muted when people realized that the release was in standard definition and didn’t look so great. The streamer listened and in late June, Avatar was upgraded to full HD. Now, sequel show The Legend of Korra is finally available, but unfortunately, there appears to be yet more problems with image quality.
This time, the resolution isn’t the issue but rather, it’s the show’s frame rate. Animator Spencer Wan, who’s worked on Owl House and Castlevania, claims that Netflix has uploaded the series at an incorrect frame rate and that his “eyes are screaming.”
The issue seems to be that the show was produced at 23.97fps, but has been converted to a straight 24fps. A frame rate difference of 0.03 doesn’t sound like a huge deal, but...

The Disney Channel animated series “The Owl House” has made history by having Disney’s first bisexual lead character.
Luz Noceda, the show’s 14-year-old protagonist, is a normal teen who goes on a journey to another world to become a witch. Luz has shown she’s attracted to male characters in the show, and in the two most recent episodes, “Enchanting Grom Fright” and “Wing It Like Witches,” a relationship between Luz and the recurring female character Amity is explored. It is revealed that Amity had intentions to ask Luz to Grom, their world’s version of Prom, and the two share a dance together.
Series creator Dana Terrace substantiated viewers’ theories on Twitter that this was indeed a portrayal of an LGBTQ relationship — something that some Disney leaders weren’t always keen on having in the show.
“In [development] I was very open about my intention to put queer kids in the main cast.
