This is living proof that a show/movie based on a game can be great if done right,The people that made this cared about what they were making,we a have a deep but action pact show where we give a crap about both the good guys and the bad
I love how Trevor is definitely the least magically powerful of the three, but hes the one the vampires are most scared of. And after seeing the Morning Star in action..... I believe it
I love how they made Trevor's technique with the whip make it seem like it was everywhere at once, coming at every angle. With its killing power, it really makes you believe why monsters would fear a man who could use it properly.
I also love the way they animated it. His style of combat isn't just to use it like a whip (like in the games) it seems more King Fu/Ninja technique to be honest. I love it though!
Yea I think the fear tactic he used really worked well. I mean he is a great fighter, but these vampires are very aggressive fighters so if he makes them afraid they won't be able to fight effectively. I mean they're used to fighting unarmed, untrained peasants, and since Trevor's family have basically become extinct they have had no true challenge to fight against, they have become weakened by the lack of challenge. Thus his mere presence alone terrifies them, worsening their ability to fight even further.
It makes me think of the whip/chain dart ( I think thats right? ) From wu lin or shaolin except with a mace at end lol. The best part about this though is Trevor is talented but hasn't trained for a long while so he relies on them being scared as well haha
I love how the vampires all stop fighting IMMEDIATELY when they realize what's upon them. They had been fighting to the death in a vampire faction war, but 3 intruders made such an impact on them that they all make the unspoken decision to fight together to face the new enemy, like they can feel death is upon them all
And the son of the most terrifying vampire ever who's basically like blade and has no weakness like them and a magician who is a master in the elements they're fear the most of course they're would be shocked to see them at their door and fight them with all they're might
One thing that I really appreciate that this show does that a lot of others don't is that it shows the soldiers being competent. Most other shows just have the average fodder be basically nothing more than target practice for the main guys of the series, but this show goes out of it's way to make sure you realize that the foot soldiers are very strong, it's just that the main crew is that much better.
YES! I was thinking the same thing through the whole series. The average soldier in this series is TERRIFYING unless you're literally an insanely powerful magician or a Belmont.
Yes! The show goes out of its way to highlight the common soldiers and emphasize they they are indeed soldiers, trained and dangerous. There's small subtle scenes that sell the point, like the random solider who dodges and parries a swing from the morningstar, or the close up of the guy's spear handling as he tries to Stab Alucard (before getting cut off by a magic sword). It makes the stakes feel real, like the protagonists actually have a threat in their hands, and when we see them cleaning house it's so much more satisfying to see just how strong they are.
@@d73w80 Same with the rank and file shock troop demons of season 1. Without knowing how to fight them, those things were a devastating force. Flight, fire blasts, inhuman strength, and wicked claws.
That scene is a perfect example how a game, even as old as Castlevania, can get a second live with an adaptation :) Also... I was jumping on my chair too :D :D
I watched this episode while my dad was on the pc. I was like 37. He started to become interested in what he saw from it and started to watch it with me. When the castle scene happened I was confused and then realized what was happening and started to say, outload, 'no way.....are you kidding me?! holy shit!! dad its bloody tears!!!'. he had no idea what I was talking about but I jumped out of my seat and scream 'yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!'
This show was my first experience with Castlevania but I knew immediately that the music was something special, I loved it. This scene had me staring nonstop, jaw dropped
I just noticed that when Trevor makes the first kill, the explosions are cross-shaped. Attention to detail like that is what helps make scenes like this especially memorable. I've said this on another video, but I'm so glad this series turned out so well.
Replying to an old af comment but this is one of my favorite animated series like ever. Everything was so amazing, my intro to the Castlevania storyline
Alucard's ramming speed as a wolf is one way to quickly cross the castle but it needs to be a perfect 180 degree plain like the marble gallery. Because one he rams into something solid or too powerful he instantly staggers. Fun way to cut through weak enemies and ignore most of the obstacles.
imagining the description of our parties arrival by a dm "You open the castle doors and before you vampire factions fighting each other stop and stare at you what do you do?" Trevor: "I'll terrify them, Sypha will disorient them and Alucard will go over the top and we support him." Sypha: I ready the spell wall of fire. And respond with"Yes" Alucard: I unsheath my sword and say. "Begin." DM: *slamming hands together* "Roll initiative"
This has to be one of the most perfect scenes in animation. Perfectly directed, perfectly animated, perfectly composed, perfectly timed, perfectly edited, perfectly paced, perfectly choreographed. I mean JAYSUS is this scene so brilliantly done.
@@zapperil trevor killed death I don’t think killing death can be topped that is like burning the sun to death drowning the ocean with water and freezing ice
@@nKe. might be onto something there. My hunch is based on the fact that it's called the Mourning Star & we know fire is effective against Vampires. Plus, the Mourning Star whip is the only one that can be granted the ability to "burn away evil."
@@ShamBell except the vampire killer did that too before he found the morning star. All the whips have that attribute. Trevor says that when they're fighting in the square and he whips one of the imps and it bursts into flames and explodes and Sypha is like wtf? The morning star is just a more high powered weapon variant of it. But yea Alucard's moves, the team combos, really the entire series was just awesome. The episodes in the hold had so much content and the banter between Trevor and Alucard was hilarious. And let's not forget the sneaky wall meat, lol.
@@ryonintaka7439 I disagree. The Vampire Killer was effective against the demon b/c the whip is blessed. Demons explode when struck w/ Holy weapons. It would be useless w/o the blessing. The Mourning Star is not consecrated, it is Belmont magic. We can infer the magic powering the Mourning Star is fire-based & fire is somewhat effective against Vampires. When Trevor uses his whip, you'll notice the flail only glows when near a vampire.
Pity that whoever put out this version of "Bloody Tears" decided to take everything that makes the track memorable and throw it in the garbage, and that the show decided on top of that to make it extremely quiet in the mix. I'm guessing if they planned to make this the "Bloody Tears" scene, they imagined the track a lot more like the original or a hard rock cover.
As soon as I heard those first few notes, I knew what song it was, and when the main melody kicked in...I have never felt such intense goosebumps or teared up at a scene. I've been a fan of Castlevania for several years now, and it led me to discovering many more games I still love today.
You know what I really like about Sypha she's not like other magicians who have to stand behind her chanting while the rest of the team fight and she only helps from behind. Sypha is indeed a witch but she also fights on the front lines with the others who is really amazing both in close combat or helping her friends from afar
Thing I loved about this the most...in Symphony of the Night I always used the Sword Familiar, so it's almost like this is "my" Alucard in these scenes.
Yeah i love the way they adapted all the gameplay stuff, alucard's shield, his mist, wolf and bat forms, even his dash is the right color. So much respect for the game, it's fantastic. Symphony of the Night deserves this adaptation, 100%
I've literally never even played a Castlevania game in my life but the second i heard that music start playing i had the largest grin imaginable on my face. Bloody Tears is a fantastic song. this show is great, and the people who wrote it very clearly know what they're doing. (i will say, i have one issue with the show so far. i think all of this should have happened in season 3 or 4, rather than 2. just needed more character building, more time, more anything happening before they killed off Dracula. they still made it impactful and awesome, but season 2 just felt like a story about the Vampires while Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard just kinda sat in a library for a few weeks, until the end when Belmont Hold is attacked and THEN it was absolutely phenomenal. the story building for the villains was great, dont get me wrong, but the main characters seemed almost forgotten about in the second season until the end, and i feel like a lot of the character development the three had by the end of Season 2 just kinda came out of nowhere. like they MEANT to have these story arcs later on after more buildup and character development, but then for whatever reason, budgets, time constraints from Netflix or whatever, I dunno, they decided to rush the story. that's what it feels like happened. and if that's true, they did a remarkable job of it despite the problems that always causes, but its still something I've noticed. despite that, still one of the best shows ive watched, fantastic writing, characters, animation, music, everything was great.)
No over-the-top special attacks with Title names. No narrator/characters explaining how said attacks works. No panty shots/ unrealistic breast physics animation. No explicit Gore/Blood for the sake of it. Could this show be considered an heresy for certain anime fans ? ... SO BE IT !!!!
Yeah now that you mention it this show was way too feminist to have the female protagonist dressed up all sexy. That would have put it over the top though.
@@slothful2039 I rolled my eyes literally every time that Carmella character spoke. So annoying with her complaining about the patriarchal vampire society. But I guess you gotta hate the bad guys.
I remember watching this with my wife and when the music came on.....goosebumps. She could tell I was revisting my childhood all over again. Jesus this show was good.
I love that some animation studios are slowly embracing certain anime styles in there works. But honestly I’m proud with this show becoming one of the few anime that’s not made in Japan.
I feel like no one is appreciating the fucking beauty of the music as soon as they engage the vampires. Like the fight, the music, the build up to this point made some tears start to well up. It just felt so amazing feeling like this was kind of the 'final battle' type of deal. The music here is god-like.
1:36, and on this day the crew behind this anime decreed thusly; "We need a Dark Souls reference." And the gods did reply; "The greatest of good boys."
To me, this(and the battle with Death) is one of the greatest video game adaptations. The music. The abilities. The fear of a Belmont. They nailed this scene ad played respect to the source material here.(take notes Paramount.)
Its astonishing how amazingly put together the details are from the games, this is just fulfilling my childhood dreams. I almost cried when i heard bloody tears in the background.
Soon as bloody tears started playing when I first watched this I absolutely lost my shit. Had to rewatch this scene multiple times, and STILL rewatch it all the time because it was so damn awesome.
I genuinely love that the morning star feels like it's own entity during this fight, like the vampires are not only thinking about the fact the last Belmont is actually here to kill dracula, he has the morning star whip which famously is so good at killing vampires anyone who actually knows how to use it is now a threat to the entire vampire army
1:32 I’m sorry this is off topic but the way Alucard’s would form is animated, especially the look of the face, reminds me of one of one of the first animes I ever watched.
@@floricel_112 she's definitely the Strongest in the series, chatlotte from PoR. comes to a close 2nd due to her being able to pull off a powerful purification spell in the middle of an intense battle 3rd would be shanoa. 4th is Juste Belmont since he practically created the Item Crash.
@ahmadadnan4773 Yoko Belnades from Aria of sorrow got stabbed by Graham in a cutscene, after which she got sidelined for the rest of the game due to being unconscious from the aforementioned stab. Yoko Belnades in Dawn of sorrow fulfilled the role of a shopkeeper. A shopkeeper! And she only fights in the NON CANON Julius mode. In what regard does Yoko "shit on Sypha"?
To the people who made this entire show I thank you infinitely every shot of this show is absolutely stunning/breathtaking and this fight sequence genuinely made my heart rate increase from utter enjoyment I humble to have seen such beautiful scenes
Also love how Sypha isnt sexualized. Shes not in your face with over tropped feminists themes. She shows you who she is by being a standout member of the team. Her clothing is so tasteful and practical and despite having loving feelings for Trevor, she was never dimmed down to a love interest or some other predictable cliche role that so many femal stars fall in to.
Sadly I don’t know much history of Castlevania (started with Lords of Shadow) but damn those show is great, can’t wait for the next season. I do love how Alucard turns into and wolf and that he doesn’t have to hold his sword to kill.
start with Lamment of Innocence. since it's Chronologically the beginning of the Story. Lords of Shadow isn't Canon and it will never be due to it being a separate universe.
The first time I watched this, it gave me chills. The music, the crisp animation, the familiar motifs reimagined in a flowing, organic space...simply breathtaking
I like to think that the vampires were only sensing Alucard at first, like they wrote off Trevor and Sypha off as extra muscle that Alucard gave some weapons to for the fight. Then the flames parted and they realized just who Alucard brought with him.
The first time I watched this scene with Bloody Tears sounding in the background I couldn't help but tear up in excitement at my childhood coming to life
DAT MORNING STAR IS BAD ASS! Yes. I said it in all caps. This series is very nice because there are some serious people out there that love Castlevania and finally they are getting something to chew on with all its ups and downs. As a Castlevania fan, I am not the Twilight/Romantic vampire type. I am Vampire killer. I absolutely wanted to hear a NES track in this new series and when I got it, it was absolutely badass. I want MORE MORE MORE of this!! May the next season please include, Vampire Killer, Wicked Child, Heart of Fire and more. Hell, I would love to see a series starting from Leon.
Castlevania was always one of those games that just fell between the cracks for me back in the old days, but I can still tell that for the old fans this is pretty much legally porn.
The first time im watching this series is this episode when the background music is from the soundtrack of symphony of the night (One of the best ps1 game) gives me a goosebumps i played all the castlevania franchise when i was 7 untill now
I never was particularly interested in the topics of demons or vampires, but ever since I've watched Netflix's Castlevania, I literally fell in love with it and it now has become my favorite TV Show. My mum actually recommended I watch it, and at first, I just shook my head as I saw how much violence was included ( I'm also not really an anime fan ). But after watching episode after episode, I became so intrigued and fascinated about how well this series was created and I'm pretty much obsessed with the 14nth Century, lol. Now I'm literally walking around the house talking about Castlevania like a madman because I just love it so much and it will always be my fav TV Show, Castlevania, thank you for opening my eyes and explaining to me not to judge anything by its first preference. Thank you.
This is living proof that a show/movie based on a game can be great if done right,The people that made this cared about what they were making,we a have a deep but action pact show where we give a crap about both the good guys and the bad

That music made me very happy :)
I remember watching this with my wife and when the music came on.....goosebumps. She could tell I was revisting my childhood all over again. Jesus this show was good.
I love that some animation studios are slowly embracing certain anime styles in there works. But honestly I’m proud with this show becoming one of the few anime that’s not made in Japan.
This shit was so good. When I'm in the deer stand tomorrow I'ma be humming bloody tears.
This entire fight is so beautiful it nearly moves me to tears every time. The animation the music the clear love of the lore. Magnificent.
I feel like no one is appreciating the fucking beauty of the music as soon as they engage the vampires. Like the fight, the music, the build up to this point made some tears start to well up. It just felt so amazing feeling like this was kind of the 'final battle' type of deal. The music here is god-like.
Sypha was amazing in this whole episode, shows just how powerful mages can become
1:36, and on this day the crew behind this anime decreed thusly; "We need a Dark Souls reference."
And the gods did reply; "The greatest of good boys."
The shot at 1:02 is iconic.
*ALERT*
LEVEL 99 SQUAD HAS
ENTERED THE ARENA
This scene hands down was one of the best. Re watched it 10 times right after
To me, this(and the battle with Death) is one of the greatest video game adaptations. The music. The abilities. The fear of a Belmont. They nailed this scene ad played respect to the source material here.(take notes Paramount.)
I got Goosebumps when Bloody Tears started to play. This Show is fucking awesome😎.
Just beautiful. Hearing Bloody Tears just makes it more epic.
this is a scene that will never lose it's hype no matter how many times I watch it
I love how bloody tears plays in the background
I love the way Alucard just says begin then the other two run forwards and he just slowly walks towards them so cool I love stuff like that
I will never not get goosebumps watching this. Season 3 has some big shoes to fill, but If it's like this, I'll be as happy as can be
Its astonishing how amazingly put together the details are from the games, this is just fulfilling my childhood dreams.
I almost cried when i heard bloody tears in the background.
This anime was a very slow pace but when they want to put a memorable scene oh boy they really show up an awesome one
I love the nod to wolf's rain in this scene. Seeing Alucard turning into the white wolf just like Kyba... So many memories.
I love that they referenced not just the wolf form from Symphony of the Night, but the wolf form's super-speed too.
Soon as bloody tears started playing when I first watched this I absolutely lost my shit. Had to rewatch this scene multiple times, and STILL rewatch it all the time because it was so damn awesome.
I genuinely love that the morning star feels like it's own entity during this fight, like the vampires are not only thinking about the fact the last Belmont is actually here to kill dracula, he has the morning star whip which famously is so good at killing vampires anyone who actually knows how to use it is now a threat to the entire vampire army
I love how they played bloody tears in the background.
I literally was internally screaming when hearing the music. Because it was and still really glorious!!
0:40 *Begin*
*Bloody Tears* INTENSIFIES
I watch this almost on a daily basis. Good god this series is amazing
Watching Alucard just punch a bunch of guys in the gut and face were great. 👍🏻
DarkMirria1 Trevor and Sypha have to be so precise and clever with their attacks while Alucard just beats them with his fists
@@BluntmanEXE Damn I was just about to say that, did you ever find the jeweled knuckles in the game?
"I terrify them" goes in for the first kill while knocking several off
Damn, that Bloody Tears remix
I love how each of the 'good guys' gets to show off their skills here.
Trevor is so badass
1:32 I’m sorry this is off topic but the way Alucard’s would form is animated, especially the look of the face, reminds me of one of one of the first animes I ever watched.
I watched this a million times and don't get bored
GODDAMN I LOVE THIS FRIGGIN SERIES!!!!
My God, Sypha is indeed a powerful sorceress
Lady moved freakin Castlevania prior to this scene. If she isn't the strongest Belnades, I don't know who
@@floricel_112 she's definitely the Strongest in the series, chatlotte from PoR. comes to a close 2nd due to her being able to pull off a powerful purification spell
in the middle of an intense battle 3rd would be shanoa. 4th is Juste Belmont since he practically created the Item Crash.
@ahmadadnan4773 Yoko Belnades from Aria of sorrow got stabbed by Graham in a cutscene, after which she got sidelined for the rest of the game due to being unconscious from the aforementioned stab.
Yoko Belnades in Dawn of sorrow fulfilled the role of a shopkeeper. A shopkeeper! And she only fights in the NON CANON Julius mode.
In what regard does Yoko "shit on Sypha"?
To the people who made this entire show I thank you infinitely every shot of this show is absolutely stunning/breathtaking and this fight sequence genuinely made my heart rate increase from utter enjoyment I humble to have seen such beautiful scenes
Also love how Sypha isnt sexualized. Shes not in your face with over tropped feminists themes. She shows you who she is by being a standout member of the team. Her clothing is so tasteful and practical and despite having loving feelings for Trevor, she was never dimmed down to a love interest or some other predictable cliche role that so many femal stars fall in to.
I love how they fight together. Such an awesome trio. They cover each other and work well as a tight unit. Love these three
Sadly I don’t know much history of Castlevania (started with Lords of Shadow) but damn those show is great, can’t wait for the next season. I do love how Alucard turns into and wolf and that he doesn’t have to hold his sword to kill.
MegaToxic you should play Castlevania symphony of the night
start with Lamment of Innocence. since it's Chronologically the beginning of the Story. Lords of Shadow isn't Canon and it will never be due to it being a separate universe.
The first time I watched this, it gave me chills. The music, the crisp animation, the familiar motifs reimagined in a flowing, organic space...simply breathtaking
I like to think that the vampires were only sensing Alucard at first, like they wrote off Trevor and Sypha off as extra muscle that Alucard gave some weapons to for the fight. Then the flames parted and they realized just who Alucard brought with him.
My favourite thing is that alucard shifting into a wolf has no perceptible benefit, he’s just doing it because he’s dramatic. I love him
Kudos to Warren Ellis for writing this awesome show. Knocked it out of the goddamn park.
god Damn it...the art the animation the choreography the music....everything about this scene is just perfect
I just love the whip trick at 2:02
The first time I watched this scene with Bloody Tears sounding in the background I couldn't help but tear up in excitement at my childhood coming to life
As a fan of the series, i jizzed at every single moment. Especially this scene
Just watched the entire show last week and was blown away this scene. Kudos to the artists, director and music composer.
0:40 😭😭😭😭😍👌 bloddy tears ost, the best soundtrack of videogame , symphony of the nigth 😢
This is one of the best animated scenes i have ever seen in my life.
Holy shit !! Bloody tears ! Bloody awesome !!
Good shit
Right there!
I haven't played the games when this show came out and even I felt that mix of hype and nostalgia that fans felt
DAT MORNING STAR IS BAD ASS!
Yes. I said it in all caps. This series is very nice because there are some serious people out there that love Castlevania and finally they are getting something to chew on with all its ups and downs. As a Castlevania fan, I am not the Twilight/Romantic vampire type. I am Vampire killer. I absolutely wanted to hear a NES track in this new series and when I got it, it was absolutely badass. I want MORE MORE MORE of this!! May the next season please include, Vampire Killer, Wicked Child, Heart of Fire and more. Hell, I would love to see a series starting from Leon.
Absolutely beautiful animation right there.Pure talent.💖
Castlevania was always one of those games that just fell between the cracks for me back in the old days, but I can still tell that for the old fans this is pretty much legally porn.
you are correct.
I'm thankful for living long enough to see this!
Alucard: "And now, I shall assume my ultimate form! SWORD WOLF!"
The first time im watching this series is this episode when the background music is from the soundtrack of symphony of the night (One of the best ps1 game) gives me a goosebumps i played all the castlevania franchise when i was 7 untill now
Alucard: Hi, I'm home. Now get out of my castle and die.
Vampire: Don't you mean "Or die"?
Alucard: No.
This is the 4th bloody tears time I've watched this video and the next one in the last hour. It is so captivating and perfectly satisfying.
Remarkable scene! It’s like the cut scene of a video game! Even better not bored chit chat just going to the point. Good job Netflix!
0:36 THAT SHIT IS SICK. 😂💛 Luv him very much.
0:20 - When you've been dicking around at work and the Boss' son rolls up...
I never was particularly interested in the topics of demons or vampires, but ever since I've watched Netflix's Castlevania, I literally fell in love with it and it now has become my favorite TV Show. My mum actually recommended I watch it, and at first, I just shook my head as I saw how much violence was included ( I'm also not really an anime fan ). But after watching episode after episode, I became so intrigued and fascinated about how well this series was created and I'm pretty much obsessed with the 14nth Century, lol. Now I'm literally walking around the house talking about Castlevania like a madman because I just love it so much and it will always be my fav TV Show, Castlevania, thank you for opening my eyes and explaining to me not to judge anything by its first preference. Thank you.
