    I finished Nocturne last night and it was…eh? Well it’s half a show isn’t it? It’s the same as the OG Netflix Castlevania S1, where they set all the pieces up for S2, so I’m willing to wait it out and see where it goes. The 53% does feel accurate to me as a score honestly, even though I’d personally put it at like ~60%.

    The highlight of the show for me was Richter and Maria’s interactions in episode 1, and I thought we would get more of that than we actually did. I don’t mind Annette, but like…I wish we got more RICHTER (and Maria, Tera, and Orlox by extension) and saved Annette’s story for later.

    It also just …weirdly felt too rushed and too slow simultaneously. 8 episodes was not enough for the story they wanted to tell, and I wish they just focused on the Belmont side for now.

      It’s a lose adaptation of next Alucard/Belmont saga:

      • Rondo of Blood.
      • Symphony of the night.
      • Bloodlines (just some enemies like Countess Bathory and Drolza).
      • I did enjoy it, nice production, some poor writing some times, but not 100% nor 50‰, to me it’s like 75% at least.
      • It’s not like source (games) has awesome writing, just a motivation to kill enemy every game.
      • I really hope when finishing this adaptation, they follow with next and final Alucard arc in the future (our present).
