I love Pokken!
Should had been 8 episodes from the start. S1 is good but way too short.

It was a good way of introducing the characters from a game that had little story then again idk if any other game expanded the into story of 3.
Yeah I imagine they were waiting to see if it hit X amount of numbers and I guess it might have overnight
It was okay, got me in the mood for playing some Classicvania atleast.
I'd love Konami to make some sort of Megaman-9-esque "Castlevania V", with CV3 style sprites and a load of levels with branching paths. Stuff like Blaster Master Zero has been doing well, give us something like that if they're too afraid to make a big budget castlevania.

You and me both. And scrolled all the way I the right in the "Recently added", "Trending", and "featured" and I didn't find it.
If anything it's consistent with how Konami promotes new entries in their more niche franchises right? Remember Xblade 2 and that's PSP Silent Hill game they wouldn't let Jim Steeling interview one of its developers?

Watch them back to back then, what's the difference?

I really enjoyed it. Violence was a little over the top, but I enjoyed the action and fight scenes a lot. I like this take on Trevor.

Thank god, 4 episodes was way too short and it needs more if the pacing is gonna be slow

Expected nothing and really loved it. I wish there were twice as many episodes. Which is terrific since that's season two!
I hope the wait isn't that long.

I got the feeling season 2 is coming this Halloween.
2018 has already been stated
Well fuck me. They shouldn't have released this, it's cruel.
And in all honesty I don't think the hype train is gonna last a whole year.
Just finished it and really enjoyed it. As a whole it definitely felt like a four-part pilot episode to gauge interest for a longer series, glad to see we're getting it.
This also makes me excited for the Assassin's Creed series we're getting, since it's from the same exec producer.

If only Konami felt the same way.
Castlevania debuts today on Netflix, but a second season has already been ordered.
They're also doubling the episodes -- Season two will contain eight episodes instead of four. Seems like they really believe in this series already.
Did a search just now and didn't see anything. Feed me some garlic if this is old or belongs in another section.
I'll have to watch this later.
seriously? man I really enjoyed this but 4 episodes then waiting till sometime next year is some bullshit, especially how it ended,

It didn't have CV3 style sprites but Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth on WiiWare was a great throwback game.

That showdown was badass. I dug the first season. Just wished "Vampire Killer" or "Bloody Tears" played.
They cranked these episodes out pretty quickly too. Here's hoping season two shows up early

As people already mentioned, this isn't exactly news as the original announcement was for season 1 and 2. Warren Ellis already wrote S2 and has far as I know, they have started work on S2 a few months ago.
You should check out Brave Earth Prologue--it's not done yet but it's nearing completion and is very CV3-inspired: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=650786800

It's pretty righteous. Maybe the best video game adaptation?
Sure, why not.
This exactly. If either kicked in, would've been amazing. Dance of Illusions when Drac got pissed would've been nice.

Only had time to watch three episodes before responsibilities pulled me away. Didn't realize it was only 4 eps. So far I'd say it's not great but it's also not awful. I don't feel like my time was wasted and will finish the season later today. The biggest issue I've had is the sound is super quiet but it may just be the TV I was watching it on as I'd never used the built-in Netflix app before. So I won't hold it against it unless it is a problem with the show itself.

It's very good.

So... Is this the first genuinely good screen adaptation of any video game.... EVER?
Pretty sure it is. Any I'm forgetting? Silent Hill is the closest I can think of, and it was still preehh bad.

You must be new, there are a lot of animated adaptions of video games that are good.

I never hated Konami. I stopped buying their games simply because the type of games they make have evolved to match modern trends in gaming and that doesn't gel with the types of games that I'm interested in. When I think Konami, I think about Contra, Castlevania, Rocket Knight, Gradius, and Goemon. They could never make another game and they'd still be one of my all time favorite game developers.
This show is pretty rad, tho.

Question for the Castlevania experts (I've only played through Lords of Shadow). Does the show follow the actual game lore? I had never got the impression Dracula used science for his powers.
