Compared to the first one this one disappoints due to the writing. The animation is beautiful, the characters are interesting, but the plot just feels... lacking. Things happen a little too conveniently. The story doesn't feel natural, but rather like some things were thrown in to 'solve' plot problems. Some of the themes and tropes are a little too much modern Hollywood for my taste. It's too much about trauma and empowerment and such. The atmosphere is still stellar though and the world is well built. Also, once it get's going towards the end, it really gets going.

The first one was 10/10. This one is still worth watching, but with lowered expectations.

The drawing style is pretty good though I feel the previous series was slightly better as it had better atmosphere.

The main issue is that the story moves too far from the original formula.

The new story is set in Revolutionary France but everything is "micro-adjusted" to fit a specific artificial narrative. Feels a like like the characters, story, dialogue all are forced into specific boxes.

The characters are more diverse cast now. Dracula no longer relevant instead is been replaced by another antagonist and she's not as scary to be honest. Belmont has been nerfed into a an insecure, young weakling. They tried to make it look strong by giving him raunchy lines but just looks bad.

The show keeps trying to associate revolution with emancipation and freedom and monarchy with vampires and evil at every corner.

Overall I'd say is not worth watching. The quality of their shows is getting worse and worse. The dialogue of the show is just terrible.

Animation 9/10 Characters 5/10 Story 2/10.

Its the ride of peak and nostalgia for any castlevania fans. Waited for years and get some thing brutally amazing. Amazing moment surely caught up and season interval was adore dramatic and brutish... Some lacklustre here but ok there's lot of things should get enjoyable. And last moment surly it's a treat for who watched Castlevania previous... But missed blody tears and dead like theme.. But got some better music top notch quality... Some Opera music has to be goosebumps but there's lacking also available... Overal enjoyable good memorable a English anime with making stylization surely got japanese.. And voice cast is exceptional.

After the highly unexpected and absolutely gobsmacking brilliant four seasons of Castlevania, we now get a sequel in Nocturne. We can rejoice with the Belmonts back at the wheel, so let's dive in.

Castlevania was a revelation. Instead of getting a bit of nice fan service that stayed close to its rather simple videogame narratives, we were treated with an emotional rollercoaster of a plot that was perfectly paced, dripping of incredible character development and jawdropping animation, that even touched on subjects like depression or life's bigger question. The slow, mysterious build up was just phenomenal, and the blood superb.

Now, although Nocturne does not disappoint, it lacks that surprise depth of its predecessor. The story is kinda cool, touching upon divine Gods and Godesses, and throwing in some ancient myths, but it doesn't have the same brilliant pacing and the build-up is just less interesting.

However, the animation still has the same sheen, and the music is very good, with sound effects being even better. And the characters do have good depth and development, and some really good twists, all helped by the new later setting of The French Revolution.

And that's why it still shines. The 'feel' is very much intact of the original, and the new setting gives it the freshness it needed to be a good follow up. It's just a lot quicker on the action.

So, in short, it's fun and looks great. Let the whip crack for the return of the Belmonts.

Well as been said In other reviews it doesn't pop off the screen the way the first one did. To say the least it starts of sloooowww but it does have its charm going for it. This time around its seems that we are treated to much more of a character build in Castlevania with protagonist that will grow on you slowly. Not having it clear how powerful the antagonist is in the first episodes of the new series makes it all the more interesting. The story in true Castlevania style throws you curve balls when you least expect it. The artwork is absolutely breathtaking even better than the first one if you ask me. It's a thrill that again starts slowly but at the end of this first season, you might ask the same question "who is Dracula" !

This show LOOKS amazing, but the storytelling and dialogue fall short. It struggles to keep an interesting pace and the characters have little to no chemistry that doesn't feel extremely forced. When lines are delivered that are meant to be strong and impactful they instead fall flat and sound cliche. It doesn't help that sometimes this show seems to be preaching to its audience instead of letting them create their own opinions. The animation is still great in most places and the fight scenes are excellent, but the story drastically suffers from my before mentioned points. Some interesting concepts are sprinkled throughout, but they are too few and far between to keep some viewers interested.

Right, I'm not a fan of animation, but I really enjoyed Castlevania. But this? What on earth did I just watch? The characterisation, the richness and depth of characters. The amount of grey areas when you don't know who is right and wrong. It's just such a joy to see such fully realised characters, and also shockingly relatable. This show didn't miss a beat; it just kept keeping it real

I've never seen anything like it. Everything about it just blew me away, and the final few scenes. Just perfection. I can highly, highly recommend this to anyone, even if you haven't seen the previous Castlevanias, it's strong enough to stand-alone.

I feel like I enjoyed the flagship Castlevania series, especially the earlier seasons, and I'm not certain what happened here. The voice acting is decent - especially Zahn McClarnon as Olrox - and the animation is okay. The storyline is a big whiff at the plate.

My biggest pet peeve is the stakes (no pun intended) are so low: characters seem to be both invincible and never removed permanently from the storyline. After this happens over and over you start to feel like what's the point of these battles if there's never any real consequences. I'm also a stickler for consistency so if you're a mortal and are hit by a goddess.......you should probably die (granted so many shows are guilty of this).

The Edouard storyline is grimacingly bad and at the end of the second season I just started skipping all his scenes, which seemed artificially emo. The storyline jumps all over the place, especially in the second season, and I feel like they really did Erzsebet a disservice. She is such a bland and one-dimensional antagonist, there was a real chance to make her complex and interesting.

Finally, the show should have leaned more into Belmont/Alucard, who deserved so much more screen time than they received, this is Castlevania after all.

Netflix's "Castlevania: Nocturne" Season 2 is a masterful continuation of the Belmont saga, delivering an exhilarating blend of action, drama, and supernatural intrigue. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 18th-century French Revolution, this season delves deeper into the personal struggles of its characters, notably exploring the complex dynamics between Maria and her vampire mother, Tera, as well as the strained relationship between the vampire Olrox and his human lover Mizrak.

The animation is nothing short of spectacular, with each frame meticulously crafted to enhance the storytelling. The fight sequences are particularly noteworthy, showcasing fluid choreography and stunning visuals that captivate the audience.

The narrative is both compelling and thought-provoking, intertwining the chaos of revolution with the personal transformations of the characters. The season also delves into the strained relationship between the vampire Olrox and his human lover Mizrak, set against the larger political landscape.

Overall, "Castlevania: Nocturne" Season 2 is a triumph, solidifying its standing as a standout video game adaptation. It not only meets but exceeds expectations, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating future installments.

I really loved the first series as far as adaptation goes, back when Nocturne got announced I was stoked to see how they could keep the plotlines fresh. In this case, Nocturne is a beatifully animated show, with a few hiccups which don't retract from the experience, the sound is good, however voice acting ranges from good to fine.

As for story, this is where I'm conflicted, on one hand the plot is good and Erzebeth Bathory is a good pick for a villain, but... what the actual hell is up with the writing? Dialogues seem stiff, leaving little depth, they get so bad at times that it just took me out of the experience. With that said, I like Nocturne despite these issues, I hope that they will improve when the second season comes out, there's still a chance for it going from good to great..

I share some of the sentiments with regard to the other reviewers. The visuals are great but the story is lacking.

But seeing as I don't know the castlevania storyline from the game, I don't care if the show is true to the game storyline.

My biggest gripe with this show is just how weak the monsters are. Vampires and night creatures are star wars storm trooper levels of useless. They are just fodder for the heroes to kill, so they have no intimidation factor.

The second gripe is related to the writing, stuff like how when one of the characters goes on a spying mission how they immediately find what they are looking for and are within hearing distance of important conversations. All this while the Vampires which are supposed to have heightened senses cannot detect that someone is following them and listening in on their conversations. That's just hack writing.

Here is a series that had a hard time filling the shoes of its predecessor.

It is difficult to live up to expectations after having reached very high peaks like the mother series.

"Castlevania: Nocturne" suffered from that in its first season: generic script, somewhat boring stories, not so charismatic characters, a story context that only partially accompanied, among other things.

It stood out, for example, in the bad characters, in the final twist with the conversion of Maria's mother into a vampire and how the good guys lost, for a change. Its ending, at least, gave good signs as to what could come.

However, this second season that has just been released is far superior to the first. All this is due to a great and unique factor: the presence of Alucard.

That's right, his charisma, his story, the knowledge we had about him in the 4 seasons of the mother series, all that, generated a greater approach. In fact, during the first 6 episodes, he is the one who carries the series on his back, perhaps only in the company of Maria's descent into darkness.

In the end, in its last two chapters, the series takes a big step forward by introducing Juste more into battle and with the rise of Richter Belmont as an OP character. The animation in battle, sublime, we can leave aside the logic that implies how suddenly the evil ones who seemed invulnerable could be damaged by the good ones.

It is that seventh chapter that raises the season considerably and leaves the seeds of the next seasons sown, will Death appear again? Is it Mephisto, that shadow that seems to pursue Maria through her mother due to her powers? Will the link with Alucard be explored?

All these questions we hope will be clarified in future seasons. Let's hope they continue to maintain the level.

I truly believe that Netflix did their thing with this series. The season was very suspenseful and kept me wanting to continue watching to see the outcome. What I love about this series, it's not like your traditional hero vs evil, where everything works out for the hero; but this series provides some defeat for the heroes. Truly, if you want a very well and engaging series, I would recommended this series. The final episode left me eager for the next season, to see how each characters faith outcome is. But I can't really have no complaints about this series. Netflix animes series might be one of their money makers imo. If you're a person that get attach to characters then prepare yourself because no one is safe.

I'm writing this after finishing my rewatch of the original Castlevania and Nocturne. Let me say that anyone saying this isn't like the original is horrendously inaccurate. It's different from the last season of the original. That I will grant. But the first three seasons aren't too dissimilar from the first season of Nocturne. Personally I loved the series. I'm a huge fan of the original series and I love this introduction of a more nuanced world and characters. I genuinely can't describe the rollercoaster of emotions I felt in the last four episodes alone. It's beautiful and well done. All that being said, I will address a flaw that I personally would love to see amended. Simply put, a character gets a long backstory and perhaps a sharp turn into a romance with another character. I love the inclusion of a character's backstory but I think the whole story is over 15 minutes long for a resolution that didn't feel as satisfying as it should have. And technically the backstory is for two characters but the other character feels sidelined in my opinion. Which is a shame since they're shaping up to be my favorite character of the series. It just felt too long to me. And for 8 episodes that shape up roughly over three and a half hours...it just sticks out. But anyways, my only gripe is that a side story goes on for a little too long with, for now, a less than stellar resolution. This series is a great follow up to the original and I'd recommend it for anyone who loved the first series.

Also if this series is going to address the affects of colonialism, I want to see a specific vampire's backstory. Especially because of the small comment they make about it in one of the episodes.

What I heavily enjoyed about the first Castlevania and its characters was regardless of ethnicities, it didn't detract from the identity of the series. The dungeon crawling grimdark fantasy vibes focusing on a band of adventurers coming together to cleanse the world of greater evils. It was bleak, it was fun, it was action packed, and it never detracted from staying on target. All the characters, even the villains, had their roles to play in this setup and it was executed perfectly. Each season had substantial plot progression and action, from the main cast getting acquainted to raiding Dracula's castle all by the end of the first season. It was an incredibly fun watch, that only continued to build up with the following 2 seasons.

Meanwhile Nocturne has turned the series into your typical political drama, pulled straight from the news networks of the modern day. No longer is every episode about venturing into some new bleak unknown territory of a grimdark fantastical world; instead, it's about corrupt political figures, slavery and the complacency of white people, the ethics of conquest etc. Every episode seems to have sacrificed the adventurous dungeon crawling aspects instead for monologue about the ethics of the listed talking points above. I didn't mind it at first, but when it dragged on the entire season I'd long since grown tired of it. Especially when you consider how much plot was covered in the first season by comparison, from meeting in a village plagued with demonic undead to storming Dracula's castle. Let's just say, the main cast barely accomplished anything by the end of this first season, one could argue they didn't actually accomplish anything at all.

Overall, the animation was beautiful, but the plot in itself dragged and didn't seem to accomplish anything substantial. It's obvious the creators have a new vision in mind when it comes to what they want this story to accomplish. Less adventure and action, more political talking points and debates about religions, race, conquest etc. 80% of this series is them monologuing about these topics while remained secluded in the same village throughout. What little action there is feels like meaningless filler that doesn't really progress the plot in any form outside of the last 1min of the season for spoiler reasons. However, the rest is meaningless. Definitely in no rush for a Season 2 and I "may" check it out, but overall, this series has pretty much killed my interest in following the plotline of Castlevania.

I mean, if you're talking about character development, it doesn't happen in one season, and the characters whose back stories we've seen so far have been really wonderful. And individuals who are upset about the racial shifting should get over it because it happens in movies all the time. And each of the characters is superbly written. Aside from my discomfort with some small elements, this series was a work of art, with great back stories, engaging dialogue, amazing fight scenes, stunning landscape, and so on. Give nocturne a bouquet of flowers because it deserves it. If you want a show that is exactly like the first Castlevania, rewatch it.

Watching the first 2 seasons of Castlevania, where very clear motives of the characters are so well established, its so disappointing watching this. I don't need a backstory of Annette, Richter, or Eduard. Just like I didn't need to see Trevor chased out of the Belmont hold while his family is murdered. You can accomplish great feats of character development simply with good dialogue between characters. The best line of the entire first 4 seasons is in the Belmont hold, "I'm surprised to learn that I had more of a childhood than you." "Yeah and your dad is Dracula." That whole scene was a great way for characters to give a lens of history for Trevor, for the audience to connect with both Alucard and Trevor, and it did it without crawling up everyone's ass with useless time wasting. Maybe the writers felt it was a mistake to not show Trevor's past, but that meant that the show didn't waste time on it and was able to more thouroughly explain and show the actual conflict rather than just dancing around it. It's just bad. It looks beautiful, but the writing, pacing, and overall decisions have just made this whole endeavor a waste of time.

Absolutely amazing. Anime at its peak.

The continuation of the Castlevania story did not disappoint. Netflix has provided some of the top tier of all anime out today The story keeps you compelled. The action scenes are amazing art of the style anime is exceptional.

Castlevania nocturne takes place during the French revolutionary war. This story continues about the Belmont family of monster hunters, leading the brigade is Richter Belmont and his friends and the continuous fight of vampires.

With great voice acting this story is compelling, adventurous, witty, inventive, and artistic.

Do not sleep on this this is Castlevania nocturne season one and season two quite frankly, all Castlevania tthat Netflix put out has been top-tier.
