Not sure who they are but they do sound good. Still not an anime though.

Won't stop Netflix from categorizing it as one

So we've got two dwarves from The Hobbit films playing Dracula (Dwalin) and Trevor Belmont (Thorin)....should be big, epic voices then! Cannot wait to watch this!

I've never really been interested in the Castlevania franchise, but I will watch this. Smile

If this shows up on the trackers and I can add it to my lists I'm watching it, anime or not. I just hope the fact that it's an Eng dub won't be too jarring for me.

I see how this isn't really anime but who cares?! The animation looks good and Warren Ellis writes the scripts. I'm in the tank for this show.

I'm surprised to see the cast. Richard Armitage? Wow.

Actually, even now I'm still surprised this is getting produced.

(Was looking for "F*** Konami!" posts. Ends up slightly disappointed. Confused )

I am not going to put much hope on it. I am quite surprised about the cast, but lets see how good it is.

I dunno from the trailer it does look like it was heavily inspired by japanese animation though.

Happy?

Anyway I'm going to be keep a curious eye on this, from the bits of footage out the show looks good so far, and that cast looks pretty damn good, and who knows maybe if this does well Netflix might look into adapting other games for animated series from Konami (Bomberman, and Adventure Island come to mind for some reason), and maybe if this is received well someone at Konami will have the great idea that "doing things the fans want, will slowly win back customer trust" or something along those lines

Well speak of the devil, Netflix has a animated Assassins Creed series

"I'm not gonna watch this show because it's not Japanese enough to be called anime!"
"It's not anime because they're not speaking a language that I don't understand anyway!"

This is the attitude of today's anime fandom. Fans who think they know more about anime than the Japanese themselves and justify it because they're fans. Sad!
