I Liked this series, and made me interested in playing a castlevania game (I've never done so) What is the best castlevania game in your opinion? What is the best 2D castlevania, and what is the best 3D one?

I'm really liking it, but every time I watch it all I can think about is how the Berserk anime should be ashamed of its own existence.
The Americans did a better Berserk with Castlevania than Japan has managed to do with the actual Berserk. Shame on you Japan. Shame.

I mean, they don't show dong, but the end of the Trevor/Alucard fight's launched a thousand ships.Scarytown said:
I liked it but I thought the gore part was kinda overrated. I mean some people mention about it and I wasn't exactly shocked upon seeing it.
Also man, past Christianity has a bad rep these days. First Bersek and now this (yes I know there are more examples of it but other than Paranorman and maybe Secret of Kells, I have not seen many of it).

I'm hoping they expand on it, but it was a good touch that there was a non-asshole aligned priest just hanging around town who could make holy water.
Let's you make a case that only certain over-zealous factions of the Church are the problem, not the Church as a whole.

Beards are hard to animate while keeping the character looking like a bastard, and Ellis hates the Catholic hierarchy.
On the other hand, high lord frog-throat is an Archbishop, not a Pope, with would be consistent with the Orthodox Church at the time.
Given how much Ellis I've read, I figure he got "bad guys look like Catholic douchbags" and "extended intro about sheep-f*cking" in exchange for not being too Ellis-y the rest of the series. Considering what he writes when he's got full control, they needed to throw him a bone so the Blue Fangs and his fellow demons wouldn't literally love that insane bishop dude, ifyouknowwhatImean. Netflix will put up with a lot, but guro probably isn't on the list.

I thought it was crap.
Trevor is a generic, too-cool-for-school, anti-hero, super-badass, but we are stuck with him for a season which is paradoxically too short to tell a full story, yet also long enough to require lots of padding in the form of stretched scenes of redundant dialogue. The sound and the animation is poor for the most part, lacking any real dynamics or visual story telling: once some characters start talking, they'll stand around and keep talking for ages. Even the villains are boring. Look, an evil priest! Or how about this other evil priest? Yes, lets introduce yet another, even more evil priest! Blah.

That's not the question that you should be asking as 3D Castlevanias are all spin-offs and mostly unimportant, what you should be asking is what is the best Classic Castlevania and what is the best Metroidvania?ScorpionPrince said:
And to both of which the answers are dubious, classic I'd recommend the very first one or it's remake Castlevania Chronicles on PS1 and well the one they chose to adapt, Castlevania 3 is also fantastic, just keep in mind that classic Castlevania games are really hard, like they are part of the reason the term NES hard exists.
As for Metroidvania, well there's much to be argued here and it'll be impossible to escape without a recommendation for Symphony of the Night, although I think Aria of Sorrow is just as good.
Alternatively, if you want a good mix of the 2, get Dracula X Chronicles, it's a Remake of the last classic Castlevania game that includes the classic TurboGrafx CD game Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night, it's for PSP though.
