I wonder if the voice at the very end is of Trevor's or Alucard's......I gotta say if it's Alucard they got the perfect voice actor, sounds very similar to Robbie Belgrade! So in. Personally I think that's Trevor, but not quote me on that. Also retconning Alucard's appearance so he's blonde in the Castlevania 3 era, that's good.

The reason I say Alucard is because the guy opening the door looks like he has a normal cape and long hair whereas Trevor's looks shorter and his (Cape type thing ) is bulky. Who knows...

Huh, you know what, you might be right. Upon further examination, that doesn't look like Trevor's hair and that doesn't look like Trevor's cape. And if you are right, I'm happy about it too. I wasn't much of a fan of Alucard's pretty boy voice from the PSP version either.

Rob sounds like what I'd imagine a vampire to sound like! I'm sure Adi Shankar purposely found someone who sounds a lot like him for this show because they sound a lot alike. Mana I hope IGA gave him a cool part in bloodstained. Such a great idea, whoever came up with it!

The trailer on my YouTube app says it's #12 trending.
I didn't know Castlevania was this popular.

There is something i was thinking... Let me see if i am right.
Considering Castlevania IGA's timeline, Trevor Belmont was the first man that killed Dracula (Leon never fought against Mathias Cronqvist that turned into Dracula later on), as Dracula impersonated Vlad Tepes III. Trevor got himself some scars from that battle, one at his eye, another at his chest and such. And then, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness happens.
At the teaser, we can hear a female voice (Sypha?) asking, most probably Trevor, "Who are you?". He answers "The man who killed Dracula". Trevor Belmont's design at the teaser shows him as a mature man with a scar at one of his eyes.
IF they are using IGA's timeline as a base (i don't know if they are), shouldn't that mean that, this Castlevania series on Netflix actually happens AFTER Castlevania III?
Also, as a side note, if you look at the scene of Alucard waking up, you can see some weird machinery below his coffin. I'm not implying anything with this detail, other than they may have decided to use some of the atemporal ideas Castlevania always had (the game series always had things that doesn't below to the timeline, like a hot-dog inside a Castle in the XVIII century).

At the teaser, we can hear a female voice (Sypha?) asking, most probably Trevor, "Who are you?". He answers "The man who killed Dracula". I'm pretty positive Trevor says "The man who'll kill Dracula," in future tense, not past. Also, seen the trailer. It looks all right for what it is, although I'm a bit miffed they decided to go with the European approach and not the more clasical barbarian approach for Trevor, although if you squint really hard I GUESS you can see it as more restrained from the usual Ayami Kojima desgn. My only worry is that the animation looks a bit... overproduced and over-stylized, if that makes sense. To put it simple, I REALLY hope we don't see Trevor ding backflips and effin' ninja moves all over the place.

The story is definitely inspired by Castlevania 3. Warren Ellis was actually in communication with IGA to get the plot right and make sure it fit in a way that makes sense within the Castlevania timeline. Lot of extensive re-working ..etc.
I read about that and it totally slipped my mind.

The team working on this has an interesting animation style, it's reliant on a lower amount frames but they have a nice stylistic approach to action.
Here's some examples :
With the look and atmosphere of the castlevania universe they should make quite the entertaining anime.

I can't believe Konami did something right...its the end of times! On a more serious note this series is looking great maybe just as good as vampire hunter D And there might be a small chance we will see the characters from Castlevania curse of Darkness like Hector since Trevor belmont was around that era

Looks beautiful, I hope there is a nice collective box to get all the episodes or a gothical limited edition or similar (with all kinds of subtitles across the world). I am a fan of this and the animated Dante's Inferno as well as Game of Thrones. Didn't reflect upon Alucard being in it, which were an welcome edition!

What this really reminded me of was the classic anime film Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust:
I am shocked it actually looks good. My interest went from none to at least looking out for critical reception. It really captures the Gothic moodiness and dark atmosphere of the series, bringing to live what I would imagine Castlevania III had been if its plot were more involving. Netflix was actually impressed enough to order a second season as well.
I think even more than this possibly being the first decent game adaptation in the West, this could be the first real animation for adults in the West that's something other than comedy. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

I respect Ellis for trying to stay as close to the canon as possible, but IGA wasn't involved with Castlevania until much, much later. IGA later took over and worked a secondary canon into the franshice (and replaced Sonia with Leon. If this move was good or bad is a matter for another thread). I'm sure IGA has a lot of good thoughts and ideas concerning CV 3, and he's definitely better than absolutely nothing (plus, IGA is actually good at what he does) but really there's not a lot he can add because he simply didn't work in it. You don't need IGA to get the plot right, you need the guy who originally worked on it (which we don't know who it is).

You don't need IGA to get the plot right, you need the guy who originally worked on it (which we don't know who it is). Before anything, let me explain that i follow IGA's career since a long time ago. I read almost all interviews IGA has ever did and Castlevania is my most beloved gaming series of all time. So, i know a thing or two about what you said and just want to clarify. 1) IGA is involved with Castlevania since 1993, with Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for PC Engine, where he helped with programming. 2) IGA didn't "replaced" Sonia with Leon. He clarified in some interviews that, Castlevania never had a proper timeline and almost each game had a different creator and setting. When he took over the series (around 2002), Konami itself wanted to organize everything, due to the huge sucess of Symphony of the Night, giving a new breath to the franchise. So, alongside Harmony of Dissonance, IGA released a timeline. He even admitted it was not a good idea at the time, because he made the timeline, that was going to be inside info, into something official. He removed four main games from the timeline (Circle of the Moon, Castlevania Legends and both nintendo 64 games) and he actually give specific reasons for each removal. Castlevania Legends was removed because the game doesn't make sense at the overall plot and, specially (IGA implied that, never trully confirmed) the game implies that Sonia and Alucard had a relationship and their son would be Trevor. Circle of the Moon conflicted with the timeline he wanted to build, alongside the plot having plot holes with what he wanted to create. The same goes for both Nintendo 64 games. 3) IGA said several times that the best game in the series for him is Castlevania 3. Curse of Darkness and Castlevania Judgment added some light to the original Castlevania 3 plot, specifically because Castlevania 3 is IGA's favorite and, if i'm not mistaken, Trevor is IGA's favorite Belmont. 4) IGA's timeline is not a secondary canon. It is the main canon. The old canon is not recognized by Konami since IGA released the timeline, around 2002. (until IGA was removed from the series, at least).

Wasn't implying IGA worked on CV3, just that he consulted and worked hard to get it right with the head of castlevania at that particular time. It helps that CV 3 was his favorite.
