    Wait I loved the animated Castlevania series 🥲

    Was it not faithful to the source material?

      It started out fine, but writing fell off a cliff for seasons 2 and 3. They decided to go for shock factor and edginess instead of keeping true to what people have loved about Castlevania for decades: a silly adventure of a cool hero fighting classic monsters.

      One moment that sticks as being particularly bad is Trevor vs Death. In the games, Death is cavalier and succint. For the animated series, they have him constantly shouting profanities.

      I loved the animated series too as well as the games and lore.
