To this day, it'sthe only piece of Japanese animation that I still go back and watch. As for the series, to me it started very strong and it started going downhill after that, even keeping in mind it was an adaptation there were lot of things with the story and writing that I just couldn't get into.
They are both pretty amazing films. Some of the best anime movies out there. I absolutely love Bloodlusts artstyle. I definitely feel you on the latter seasons being alittle harder to get into. It was kind of going off course a bit but it was far from terrible. I hope this last season sends it off well at least.

Pretty much nothing based off video games ever seems to follow the exact storylines from their original source material. Nothing in the veins of the Mila Resident Evil movies where they just made up their own garbage with a few cosplayers as main characters, but this was far from that territory. But really youd be better off watching Vampire Hunter D /Bloodlust as a better Castlevania adaptation XD.

Finally, why the heck left Grant Danasty out series?.

Glad that It's ending, maybe the new one would be a good adaptation of the Castlevania video games but I'm not very optimistic.
Sucks, I really enjoyed this show but they did start going alittle crazy last season. I do enjoy that they will be able to end it without being a cliffhanger. I hate when shows start up and get cancelled before ever finishing what they started. And to have a spin off is cool since it will be very much like this show just with different characters.. and there are alot in this series. Would be awesome if they introduce Simon but there are plenty of Belmonts to choose from as well as other non whip users as well. Will be curious to see where this goes. Simon seems like the given character choice moving forward but Castlevania has spanned so many areas.
. . . Weeelll, I hope they at LEAST bring the four principle plot threads to a satisfying conclusion. Gonna be tight in only 10 episodes. *sigh*
As for a new show with new characters in the same universe . . . I mean, they've got centuries of follow-up continuity to work with. We can only hope they stick to the basic story laid out. Simon next, maybe??
