For over a decade now, no genre, for better or worse, has dominated anime quite like the isekai genre. While it had always existed in some form, isekai didnt start being recognized as its own thing until the 2010s, and thanks in large part to the escapist elements of the genre, its become a mainstay of the medium with dozens of new anime produced every year.

As isekai began growing in popularity, it also started becoming contentious among fans and critics because of how so many stories come across as different takes on escapist power fantasies revolving around uninteresting leads and their rapidly growing harems of girls. That being said, there are plenty of isekai anime that break away from those cliches, and because of that, plenty of great isekai anime have heroes who come off as being far cooler and more entertaining than the average isekai anime protagonist.

Castlevania is a four-season animated Netflix series. The story covers several generations of the Belmont family, and Alucard witnesses centuries of time, along with many other vampires. Castlevania is based in a fictionalized Eastern Europe, which isn't surprising for a western vampire tale, but what truly sets Castlevania apart is its characters.

Castlevania's cast of characters cover the moral spectrum. Heroes like Trevor Belmont are flawed, but incredibly honorable and lovable. Villains like Dracula and Striga have incredibly human moments, and may even deserve redemption and a chance at peace. Each human, vampire, magic-wielder, and clergyman is nuanced and compelling.
