martins a @Martins390 Jan 5 Top movie, deserves all the flowers. Such an incredible watch See more Ash P @AshParth Oct 3 Here we are in the third season, and some speculated that it's the least of the Castlevania: Animated Series. I kinda understand where they were coming from. However, I don't think it's awful on its own. To be honest, I'd tie it with the first season of the animated series. The thing is that there are a lot of storylines that do go a little all over the place with where they were going after the second season. Just a heads up, there will be some spoilers. You have been warned. Trevor and Sypha make their way into this village called Lindenfeld that is going through some rough times where they've met this person called the Judge, voiced by Jason Isaacs, who wishes to keep it in peace at all times, at any costs. They even met this mysterious man named Saint Germain, voiced by Bill Nighy, who is doing some research about this realm called the Infinite Corridor. More Curse of Darkness mentioning if you've played the games and know. Apparently, Lindenfeld's monks led by Friar Sala, voiced by Navid Negahban, are scheming as to why the Judge requests Trevor and Sypha to investigate and then Saint Germain gets himself involved with both sides. We also have Alucard going through a rough start of living alone without Trevor and Sypha that he would have dolls that look like them to get through the day. Until these twins Sumi and Taka, voiced by Rila Fukushima and Toru Uchikado, came from Japan to deal with the vampire who ruled over them except the vampire, who was part of Dracula's war council, was already taken care of and now Sumi and Taka are sticking around with Alucard to learn from the Belmont Estate and trained by him. You also have Hector following Carmilla at Styria yet get imprisoned for now, discussing with the rest of Carmilla's Council of Sisters. Lenore, voiced by Jessica Brown Findlay, visits Hector on occasion as a suggestion with the Council of Sisters to have him fully commit to forge night creatures for them. The rest consist of Morana, voiced by Yasmine Al Massri, and Striga, voiced by Ivana Milcevic. Lastly, you have Isaac traveling north to get revenge for Dracula yet start to feel remorse after his conversation with several other characters during his arc. A pirate captain voiced by Lance Reddick. Flyseyes, voiced by Gildart Jackson, who was a philosopher from Athens which led Isaac to embrace remorse. Then later, an old woman named Miranda, voiced by Barbara Steele, who informs Isaac about a magician possessing the town folk he heads into. Yeah, there are a few too many stories going on, but I will admit that this season does have a sense of character exploration. It does feel like there would be more scenes, yet the outcome for each of them is decent enough to go by. My favorite has to be when Trevor, Sypha, the Judge, and Saint Germain have to deal with the monks after learning about their motive. My least favorite would have to be Alucard's when it came to the twins. I couldn't help but question, "Where the hell did that come from?" when Alucard provided enough to them. With Hector's outcome, despite having some good chemistry with Lenore, it was obvious where it was going. With Isaac's outcome, it was okay, yet I wonder if there were more scenes needed yet we will be seeing him more. Making him a better character. Look, in the game, he was more of a bloodthirsty psychopath. Trust me, I played the game in the past, and I know much about the story between Hector and Isaac. I mean, we have one more season to tackle. As speaking of chemistry, the chemistry between Trevor and Sypha continues to grow more genuine when in canon of Castlevania historia, they do end up together, and it shows. There is one character that I was pretty much in the middle of, and that would be Saint Germain since his introduction. He isn't a terrible character, and I'm down with characters given a different perspective from the games. It's just that what Saint Germain was looking for via the Infinite Corridor was a bit out of touch since he was a forgettable character at times during Curse of Darkness. Yet I will admit he does grow on me as the season goes by until the end of his character arc when he teamed up with Trevor, Sypha, and the Judge was worth ending. The action continues to be the best, especially with the final fight in the basement of the monastery and the time Isaac fought off Legion under the magician's control. Sure, there isn't much action, but who's complaining, really? What keeps the animated series strong are the characters themselves. Again, I do understand that there were a few too many storylines, and at times, it does drag, but I don't think this was a bad season. With a stacked voice cast, even. It might not be pleasant for everyone, whether they're a fan of Castlevania or not, but I still had a good time with it. I'll be giving the third season seven Saint Germain in a Rainbow Tunnel of the Infinite Corridor out of ten. 7/10.

See more Michael D Sep 15 Great animation; the addition of Bill Nighy to the cast with his iconic voice was excellent. Unfortunately, some episodes feel like they drag, and others are perfect; it's very inconsistent. Also, it seems to be a running theme each season, but, God, the audio is terrible. The soundtrack is dead, and the foley sounds like it's been ripped from a sample floppy disc from the 90s.

See more Derek @dperekz Mar 11 Castlevania Season 3 is still a very good continuation of the series, but it does feel like a slight drop compared to the near-perfect execution of Season 2. The season takes a slower, more methodical approach, focusing heavily on character development and world-building rather than nonstop action. This works well in some areas—Isaac’s journey is fascinating, and Hector’s arc adds layers of intrigue—but in others, it can feel like the show is treading water. Trevor and Sypha’s storyline is fun and filled with exciting moments, but Alucard’s arc, while emotionally weighty, feels somewhat meandering. The villains remain compelling, and the darker themes are explored effectively, but there’s a sense that much of this season is about setting up the grand finale rather than delivering a fully satisfying arc on its own. Even with a slight dip in pacing and focus, Season 3 is still a strong entry in the series, packed with great action, sharp writing, and an ever-expanding world of intrigue. It may not hit the highs of Season 2, but it does a great job of setting the stage for an explosive final season. See more Read all reviews
