Castlevania (Netflix)
 

It's pretty damn awesome! Fight scenes and voice acting are top notch. Downside...this first season is only four episodes long. Also, familiarity with the games...which date back to the old NES....helps with following the story. But newcomers can still hop on the train and enjoy the ride.

Cool, thanks for the head's up. I'll check it out.

Has Fist of the Northstar level of gore though.

cool. I've been a fan since '86. I saw this thread then checked out some previews. this looks awesome. the anime is hand drawn. Dracula's castle looks perfect.

Anybody still watching this? Season 2 has been out. I think it's much better than the first season.

Much better and thankfully, more episodes.

I've been a CV fan since the first one on NES but this show...I don't know. Just didn't really grab me.

Just finished season 1 about to start s2. Love it already. Any other Netflix animated series that are similar?

Not all on Netflix, but recommended:

Vampire Hunter D
Devil May Cry
Cowboy Bebop
Hellsing Ultimate
Rurouni Kenshin

Sweet thanks!

While still good, the first season was short enough to feel like more of a pilot movie than a series. Really enjoyed where they took things in the second season.

They should make movies

Contra

Rygar

Ninja Gaiden



I had more blisters on my thumbs playing Ninja Gaiden than any other game.

I still have nightmares about level 6-2. ROFL

Back to Castlevania,

Berserk

Black Lagoon

Fist of the North Star

are some I can remember

Netfilx is doing a live version of Cowboy Bebop. Gonna be either really good or really, really bad.
