Castlevania animated series on Netflix on Blu-ray
In case you missed it when it first aired, Castlevania tells the story of vampire hunter Trevor Belmont, the powerful sorceress Sypha, and Alucard as they battle Dracula and his demonic army. The second half of the show focuses on a group of vampires looking to create their own undead kingdom, as well as the foul-mouthed Grim Reaper himself (probably Malcolm McDowell’s best character ever).
As you’d expect, the show is violent, with beautifully animated action scenes, and in some of the quieter scenes, jokes that are sharper than a razor blade. For extra content, you’ll get behind-the-scenes videos, voice actor interviews, storyboards, art galleries, and more spread across these sets.
In addition to the great discounts on Prime Big Deal Days, there’s another reason why now is a great time to pick up and watch (or re-watch) Castlevania. There are actually two reasons. As mentioned before, Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1 Blu-ray version is coming Very Soon, tomorrow, October 8th.
Nocturne Season 1 is set hundreds of years after the original Castlevania animated series, in the style of Richter Belmont, and draws inspiration from the 1993 PC Engine game Rondo, which some fans may Learn more about the game through its different names. Rondo of Blood was exclusive to Japan at launch; Konami brought the story to North America in the form of Castlevania: Dracula X on the Super Nintendo.
Netflix recently previewed the second season of Nocturne, which will premiere in January and is inspired by the classic original PlayStation game Castlevania: Symphony of the Moon (a direct sequel to Rondo).
