Netflix 's new Castlevania has once again transformed the classic game franchise into exceptional and triumphant animation. Castlevania: Nocturne brings a new adventure connected to the past and honoring the legacy of the original series.
Castlevania: Nocturne brought a sequel worthy of the original series
Check it out:
As the narrative of the new series follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the comparison between Castlevania and Nocturne is inevitable. However, this comparison should not be seen as a limitation for the new series. While Trevor Belmont faced loneliness due to his family's betrayal, Richter begins his journey in the same way, but under different circumstances.
Nocturne Season 1 is about Richter overcoming his trauma and taking on the duty of facing the threats of his world. On the other hand, the beginning of Castlevania only presents a small fraction of the world of Trevor, Alucard , and Sypha . Therefore, the new series had room for an expansion of the world after the conclusion of the original series.
At first, Richter and Maria seem to have the same dynamic as Trevor and Sypha, a fighter and sorceress duo. However, characters' abilities vary according to their cultural heritages. Anyway, the end of the season brings the long-awaited arrival of Alucard, which increases the excitement for the next season. Just like the original series, Nocturne has the potential for constant improvement in its future seasons.
Synopsis:
France, 1792, height of the French Revolution. In a remote region in the west of the country, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy makes an alliance with the terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to “consume the sun” and use an army of vampires and Creatures of the Night to end the revolution and enslave humanity. The sorceress Annette seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the legendary family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.
Finally, the anime focuses on Richter Belmont, descendant of Sypha and Trevor, being set in the French Revolution (1789-1799), being inspired by the games Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of Night.
