The first seasons were masterfully crafted icons that convinced me to give a chance to all Netflix Animation originals. Upon discovery of a new season in a new setting, I was surprised it was in the works. Little did I know it did not..meet expectations.
There is nothing wrong with setting a sequel of any film or movie in a new setting. This is considered a completely natural move to explore new horizons in a fictional world.
Sadly it did not work for this series sequel, easily as it failed to meet the masterpiece of the first few seasons. The new cast of characters were literally just thrown in without any type of introductions to note. We were expected to be able to understand immediately what was the story and development. This didn't happen, I found myself questioning several parts as the episodes went on and on.
"Why did this happen, where did this happen, what is the point of this"
We all know asking too many basic questions in any film series is not a good sign.
Animation wise, Castlevania still has it down as its still one of the best points of this trilogy.
Maybe this sequel deviated too much from the original masterpiece or suffered from a lack of clarity that was needed for development.
The only reason why I am not giving a abysmally low rating is due to the possible redemption previewed at the last episode.
So let's continue to watch the next season or two of this sequel and make our judgements by then.
