Inspired by the popular video game series, this anime series is a dark medieval fantasy. It follows the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, Trevor Belmont, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hands of Vlad Dracula Tepes. As Dracula and his legion of vampires prepare to rid the world of humanity's stain, Belmont is no longer alone, and he and his misfit comrades race to find a way to save mankind from the grief-maddened Dracula.

I've enjoyed my time with Castlevania. Season four did a great job...where I didn't actually miss Dracula, I didn't feel his loss or his presence, because there's enough going on that is an extension of the story. Go to Full Review

Even if this ends up being the last time that we ever walk the roads of Wallachia with Trevor and the gang, it's a ... fine way to go out. Go to Full Review

The fidelity to the source material in Castlevania proved rather beside the point. You can be faithful to the letter of these things, or more productively you can be faithful to the imaginative spirit... Go to Full Review

Castlevania is one of the most gorgeous animated works out there and its beauty goes deeper, with its richness and depth. An epic horror fantasy that can be devoured over and over again. Go to Full Review

Castlevania's final season gives us a great end for our trio of protagonists and great fight scenes but sadly some storylines end rather quickly and with little fanfare... Go to Full Review

Owen P @Opurk7 Aug 26, 2026 Absolutely peak. I just finished the show, 5 years after it ended. And it was incredible. Still to this day the best video game adaptation ever. Every moment of this show looks absolutely stunning, every costume, sky, castle, and city looked on point at all times. As a person who always has the main badass as their favorite character, Trevor Belmont is the epitome of that. Trevor Belmont vs Death is one of the best fights I’ve seen in all of shows and movies. I never thought that it could be this good. S4 E9 is one of the only episodes of tv I’ve seen where I immediately rated it 10/10. I loved the final arc of Lenore, and I couldn’t get enough of the final siege of Dracula/Alucard’s castle. I also loved that the final scene of the whole show was Dracula and Lisa, going full circle. While we all loved Belmont, Dracula was the show, and Lisa was the driving factor of it all, making the ending perfect. See more Blue Bird T @RT87141299 Aug 6, 2026 Terrible writing this season, They killed off Lenore, The best and most charismatic vampire by having her commit sunlight suicide for basically no reason. See more super gamer boy 1 @RT02588833 Jun 7, 2026 Peak Castlevania as a fan of both the games I love every moment of it of all seasons that came before or after it See more Dizzy D @RT44979358 Jun 1, 2026 I have no idea what anyone sees in this series. It's 90% talking and 10% action, and the vampire villains are absolute chumps, never actually a threat to the protagonists. When you watch fans favorite battles closely you realize the heroes don't take a single hit. Isaac wins every fight he engages in literally without ever getting touched. Vampire generals appear complete with flashback backstories, only to be instantly killed in battle after inflicting zero damage, or casually strangled by a mere mortal from behind as though they have no powers. This is often the difference between Western and Eastern anime. Eastern believes in high stakes back-and-forth battles, and in Western anime the heroes win in a cake walk. Maybe that's your thing, but I like my heroes challenged. See more Ana T @Anocascom13 Dec 30, 2025 Amazing ending. 10/10 See more Ash P @AshParth Oct 7, 2025 Let's wrap up the Castlevania Animated Series with what everyone says that it's a solid ending. To that, I agree. It's more action-packed compared to the previous seasons while adding as much of the drama surrounding each of the characters and their respective arcs. I will try my hardest not to spoil too much of the story. But just in case, you have been warned as you are reading this review. Isaac enacts revenge originally towards Hector, who is still in Styria as a prisoner thanks to Lenore's binding spell ring, forging an army for Carmilla to exact war on humanity. Yet Isaac does change his mind and goes after Carmilla instead thanks to his conversations with Flyseyes and his journey through Europe to gain a remorseful conscience. On the other side of Europe, Trevor and Sypha make it to Targoviste, the place where it all started, finding night creatures and vampires roaming the empty streets, encountering humans who are struggling. They meet up with a woman named Zamfir, voiced by Toks Olagundoye, who is the head guard of the city's underground court, fighting against the night creatures. Unknown to them, a couple of vampires named Varney, voiced by Malcolm McDowell, and Ratko, played by Titus Welliver, gathering other vampires and magicians to bring back Dracula. Meanwhile, Alucard gets an invite from Greta, voiced by Marsha Thomason, to join her cause to defend Danesti from the night creatures while meeting up with Saint Germain, who has an agenda of his own, following orders from someone else, as it's revealed later on. Alucard does offer food and weapons to Greta and her small village until the events of Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard reunite as the final push of survival takes place. In comes Death, also voiced by Malcolm McDowell, reveals himself to resurrect Dracula and his wife, Lisa, to continue the genocide against humanity because Death needs more souls. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, his reasoning is simple as Death can be, but keep in mind, you can't have much of Castlevania without Death, if you ask me. As far as Varney goes, I admit that I don't like him much as a villain since sure, he does reach out to recruit other magicians and vampires, but he isn't that much of a threat until that reveal. Ratko, I found more threatening since they do discover the underground court where the resistance resides and invades. It might be me saying it, but at the least, it still plays out well with its pacing and reasoning being laid out. Of course, the story plays separately with Isaac's end, dealing with Carmilla as Hector is conversing with Lenore, keeping their chemistry in check while Trevor and Sypha improves their chemistry in a more romantic way despite keeping it businesslike between one another when dealing with night creatures. Also, I have to add Alucard's side of the story since he's dealing with Greta and Saint Germain who share their side of the story. As far as Zamfir goes with her side of the story, it is insane, yet understanding her reason a little bit since it's her having little trust with Trevor and Sypha while trying to keep her people safe from the night creatures. Of course, not so much when living in fear and living in famine. Yet the payoff for each character as we're nearing the end of the series works off well for what it's worth. The endings, especially. Between sweet sorrow when parting to a happy conclusion with a reunion. With everyone having a good case of character development with one another, given enough screen time. Well, to be honest, not much with Morana and Striga, who are out for a little bit of conquest of their own, having a moment of their own being sweet. Yet when they return to Styria when their castle has been invaded by Isaac and his army of night horde, they have a moment and leave. You'd never see them again afterward. Oh, well. Parting is such sweet sorrow, if you ask me. The action and animation are easily the best as they have been. When you look between the first and fourth season, you can tell that they came so far and had to end it on an epic conclusion with a happy ending. The voice cast still goes strong, especially with newcomers. It isn't up there with the second season, yet it is better than the third season. From where it had started back in 2017, it ended on an epic note for where they would go next. I will give this fourth season eight Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard reunion out of ten. 8/10. With that, I will see y'all in Nocturne with a new Belmont and company to carry the torch. See more Read all reviews
