- Quotes
The Bishop: Who's there? Are the Speakers dead?
Blue Fangs: [lurking in the shadows] No.
The Bishop: Well, get back out there. The Speakers have to die before the sun goes down.
Blue Fangs: [coming out of the shadows] The sun is already down.
The Bishop: You cannot enter the house of God!
Blue Fangs: [grunts sarcastically] God is not here. This is an empty box.
The Bishop: God is in all of His churches!
Blue Fangs: Your God's love is not unconditional. He does not love us and He does not love you.
The Bishop: I have done His bidding! My life's work is in His name!
Blue Fangs: Your life's work makes Him *puke*.
The Bishop: I am the Bishop of Gresit!
Blue Fangs: Your God knows we wouldn't be here without you. This is all your fault, isn't it?
The Bishop: [voice cracking] She was a witch!
Blue Fangs: Lies? In your house of God? No wonder He has abandoned you. But we love you.
The Bishop: What?
Blue Fangs: [getting face to face with the Bishop] We love you! We couldn't be here without you!
[seizes the Bishop by the shoulders and opens its jaws]
Blue Fangs: Let me... kiss you.
With his human bride burned by the church for the crime of being a witch, Dracula (voiced by Graham McTavish) swears a deadly revenge on humanity, unleash hordes of ravenous Monsters each night. The legendary, but disgraced warrior, Trevor Belmont (voiced by Richard Armitage) rescues a group of monks from angry townfolk that are blaming them for the attacks. In doing so, he's asked to travel to the catacombs of the city and recover the remains of the elder monk's grandchild. Whilst undertaking this quest, he learns that the prophecy of a Warrior sleeping under the city, may not be the bunkum he thought it was.
Visually, the show is fine though not strikingly amazing. It's a gory production, full of fight scenes, action and death. Framerate wise, it's more in keeping with Japanese animation techniques. The stylised poses also is inspired by anime shows. Oddly the vocals feel as if they are an overdub of a foreign original, though this isn't the case as the show is primarily an American production. Performances are a bit of a mixed bag. Occasionally jarring and rarely subtle but sometimes hilarious. Richard Armitage particularly does well with the dead pan Belmont.
It ends just as its getting going, although from my point of view I have the second series to crash straight into.
