I feel like this was announced years ago.
Turns out I was right. This was announced first in 2018.
I wonder what happened between then and now that would delay this so much?
Oh yeah, it was Netflix shitcanning their entire animation department. No wonder they’re going with Studio Mir, they fucking fired everybody competent internally.
As much as I liked Castlevania, I think Warren Ellis brought more to the series than people think. I’m not sure if I trust Adi Shankar to write a compelling narrative on his own. Especially with Netflix slashing budgets and somehow saving this one from cancellation.
Yeesh, that doesn’t inspire confidence. Good catch!
I am optimistic about it. The old Devil May Cry anime was pretty good.
Ehhh I don’t think this works. Dante is too powerful to be a main character in a series unless they straight up Alucard him into saving and protecting others.
Think about it. What is a threat to Dante? Sure, other demons might hurt him or knock him around, but you’ll never feel like he’s in danger unless Vergil is on screen.
It worked fairly well in the old anime. It had heaps of potential and was very fun to watch.
You know, fighting isn’t everything. OP character can work if writer puts an actual effort into it. Look at One Punch Man or Overlord. Completely overpowered characters can be written well. It’s just that you can’t focus story on fights alone.
