Castlevania

It's good, but they really should have made the first season have more than just four episodes. It's like if you got the first two episodes of Game of Thrones on the same day, but had to wait a year for the rest of the season. Looking forward to next year's season two. (Too lazy to rewrite this, Season 2 is fucking awesome watch it.)

Overall, a textbook case of good, but not great, with the exception of the last episode - bit of a shame the first three weren't on par with it, but it does offer some promise for the second season. Generally though, the animation was well done, but didn't really jump out as exceptional or original. The story and writing were adequate, but pretty boilerplate. I will say that some of the voice acting was very good. I'm likely just a bit disappointed due to some over-hype from Shankar and his quote that the show was going to be "R-rated as f**k." I was hoping that meant they were really going to try to push the envelope for an animated show. Meh... not so much, but as I've said, it's good and definitely worth a watch. One other oddity that I'll join the chorus on - what the hell is up with four, 24 minute episodes? That's a 96 minute movie and I think it probably would have played better that way, although, by releasing them all on one day (as is Netflix's model), that's essentially what they've done.
