Looks like we have more of an idea of who’ll be appearing next season. Are any of these previously anticipated, or are they all OC to the show?

Carmilla is one of the main players in S2, dudes.

She's the titty vampire played by the titty vampire.

(this is a Dexter reference, just in case)

Bill Nighy is pretty much already a lich in real life. It was funny seeing him play a creepy step-dad in Shaun of the Dead.

He was born to play grumpy immortal Satanboss.

The whole time. He's in the sun several times, they address this in dialogue, and the end of the last season is him sitting in direct sunlight.

I was watching some fight parts today and I still love how Belmont uses the whip. The way he curls and "whips" it around, kicking it away etc. It just feels like there's real momentum in those strikes of his. Can't wait for this season, but I really hope they'll make the non fight animation a bit better as well.

I would settle for simply renaming this one to “Castlevania: the Animated Series”, since the seasons are both short and instantly consumed.

I skimmed through the last one just now. So I can attest to that!

Welp, presuming that ending is going to lead to a new teamup of the three heroes so as to avoid a massive turn to villainy.

A lot like the former one. Very, VERY slow in its build-up, with an action-filled climax at the end. Goes deep into motivations, inner thoughts and the pain and worries of each character.

For specifics, Trevor is wondering what the hell he's doing with his life now that he's travelling and sleeping with Sypha, Alucard tries to open up to people, including a set of Japanese visitors who want to learn how to kill vampires from him, Dracula's two former human servants have some parallel journeys (one out of slavery and one back into it). Carmilla is scheming-mc-schemeface again but its mostly setup for Season 4

There's some newly introduced side characters, some more interesting than others. The action scenes are alright, though its hard to beat the ones from the castle at the end of Season 2. My favourite of them would probably be the one where Isaac climbs a tower to fight a mindcontrolling wizard, with entire towns populations climbing into the windows of said tower to chase after him before he reaches their master. A big final fight between Trevor, Sypha and a giant demon is sort of held back by the animation style suddenly shifting for bits of it, and Alucard's final, errr, action scene, is more of a bisexual threesome gone wrong.

The intro scene of the first episode was very funny, and the VA did a great job of mimicking voices.

I haven’t finished the season but based on what I’ve seen of it so far I love it. Can’t decide whether “you’re the Jesus of killing monsters” or “I’m immortal and glorious and the rest of you smell like piss” is my favorite line.

They did that to point out that most of humanity loving sucks, mostly due to past trauma or just plain old other humans already sucking.

I did like that in regards to Dracula he was with his love, even if she was in hell, and had no real wish to come back from what we saw. He continues to be a mostly good dude hosed up by idiot humans.
