some neat Easter eggs I noticed:

How about the fact that after Trevor battles a cyclops, Sypha returns from stone to flesh and blood. That’s straight from Castlevania 3.

So basically what you’re saying is that you’re down with genocide, so long as you don’t really care about any of the victims?

They are going to stop Dracula because he is going to kill ALL the people. Not just the assholes, but everyone, even the people you like. Kind of makes sense that Trevor and company would want to stop them if for nothing than self interest.

While watching it I was all “now THIS is a video game anime!”

I loved it, and I know relatively little about Castlevania. All of the criticisms I’ve heard—the pacing, the gore, the irreverence—were actually positives for me. The gore, in particular, just didn’t strike me the way it seems to have hit others, and I generally have a pretty low tolerance for that sort of thing. It…

Well I adored the show..the dialogue is hit or miss but I’ve been watching anime for the better part of 25 years. Clunky dialogue doesn’t shake me much. It did feel very...Whedon-like. Depending on how you like Whedon that could be make or break. Castlevania very much reminded me why I hated the 2016-17 Berserk…

I played it in a private room with press and influencers so my current assessment can best be summed up with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait, how is the player encouraged to look up a skirt or push a woman against a wall and kill them? I’ve played through that game at least twice and don’t recall ever being encouraged to do those things.

Keeping innocent person upside down: Dead.

This, chinese asian people are racist as hell. To Indians and anyone who is not white or chinese.

Enh. Not really when you consider racial dynamics and perceptions in China. Non-white and non-East Asian ethnicities are almost universally considered to be non-existent.

Is it weird that almost all of the characters are white? Because it feels weird.

Oh, i thought these were new Paladins characters for a second there.

Oh, they might not know. But the graphic designer they hired, who has now fled with their money, knew full well what he/she’s doing.

lots of people like it! i get it, kinda, lucio is a nice boy and he looks happy wearing it.

Admittedly I have not researched it. When I think of women’s involvement during the World Wars I tend to recall them being mostly support staff in field hospitals and such. Combat medics and such.

A baby bird in the nest that opens its brightly-colored mouth and makes a peep sound will be fed by its parents. It will continue doing this until it is a fully grown bird. Meanwhile, a baby bird that does not do this will starve to death.

And it drifts over into other parts of his life as well. Sad!
