Might be fun to see where those lingering threads end up, but the fight in the castle was awesome.

It somewhat seems to be setting up for an alternative take on Curse of Darkness.

Is that the one where Soma's kid is in it, or it's modern day and the protag is Dracula resurrected or something

Because I heard they were on track to do Super Castlevania next.

It's the one where Hector is the protag.

Doubleposting because the first 41 episodes of Saint Seiya have recently become available to watch on the North American, Australian, and New Zealand Netflix line up.

If you like 80s anime, or like seeing the stuff that influenced A LOT of other things (if you liked, say, Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, this'll be your bag), you really can't go wrong with Saint Seiya. They've split it a bit oddly, since they have it listed as three seasons, but it's really just over half of the Sanctuary arc, which is the first of three (Sanctuary, Poseidon and the Asgardians, and then the Hades OAVs). There's really no word yet if we'll get the rest, but several other countries' line ups have the rest of Sanctuary, and all the way through Poseidon and the Asgardians.

Saint Seiya has been treated pretty poorly when it comes to getting released in English (it did really well in Latin America and other regions). It came way late, and the original US English dub was cut to hell by DiC and replaced the pretty good if you're into 80s anime themes, Pegasus Fantasy

We did eventually get an uncut box set of Sanctuary, but that was from ADV, and they went under pretty much immediately after saying "Oh yeah, we totally want to do the rest." This is a entirely new dub, and new subtitles for undubbed. I hope this does well, and we can get the rest. Saint Seiya really was a seriously influential series, and I think it deserves a new chance.

If you like it, and want more, Saint Seiya Omega is available on Crunchyroll, and The Lost Canvas on Netflix. Netflix also has the new remake, but...uh...it's not very good.

So mom enjoyed Game of Thrones, up until season 5. We tried The Witcher but the loving time skips (without it being labeled as such. Seriously a loving timestamp at the bottom, year 1873 would have saved so much. Same with loving location) did in her interest pretty fast. That and the fact most of the loving names of every city run together.

So what shows are similar to Game of Thrones, but with a good ending?

Do you want specifically fantasy, or just...epic fighting, political backstabbing, and the such?
