That show was absolutely perfect, not a single second I would do differently.

I agree with GP that the show has an extremely interesting take on the core ideas, but I think the execution falters slightly, especially in the last couple of episodes. The characters started doing some fairly silly things, and I also don't like that they gave up completely on the science-investigation angle they had going.

I have to say that I was impressed by this article. Not only did Mattison get #1 correct, but every single Dracula that I was thinking, I’ll bet she missed ⸻, there it was. Buffy vs Dracula?

No Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate or Alucard from Netflix' Castlevania?

people that liked the manga didn't understand the original anime.

ultimate was seemingly made to appease that fan-base while opening the door to more marketable goods and characters.

I like things from both of them. The original soundtrack was killer.

Was definitely expecting Castlevania, that show took a thin concept and made real art out of it

Except the last season, writing turned so bad there, as if the writer ruined it all on purpose. It reminds me GoT ending fiasco.
