First when the series appeared on Netflix I was excited as Castlevania is one of my favorite game but I am not happy with the results.Although the animation art is not bad it is not Ayami Kojimas art which was amazing.Today they could easily replicate the style of Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust from Madhouse inc. which would have fitted better to the world of Castlevania.Actually this series lacks everything what made Castlevania games fantastic: story , characters and music -yes the cool music from Castlevania is not there.Sometimes you can hear a familiar theme but it quickly goes away and through the episodes you either hear nothing or a silent meaningless music is going in the background.This tv show deserved so much more, but the stories are slow, halting and some of the characters like Isaac is depicted as a moron when he kills people after receiving the mirror and top of it he goes with his little shop of monsters to look for a ship and the captain welcomes them just like normal people.The screenwriter really knows how people would act in a situation like this..The voice acting is also boring.You become sleepy while just listening to the powerless conversations and again if the music would be good it is not. A lot of unnecessary cursing during dialogues which are absolutely not fitting to the characters. The potential is there but somehow the creators, writers and actors did not do their homework. Unfortunately this is a poor realization of an amazing story.
