Real tired of the Castlevania anime discourse, especially where Nocturne is concerned. I mostly see complaints about the characters and story not being faithful to the source material. Yet, these clowns don't realize that the games were never big on storytelling and characterization. Especially the older titles. It's hilarious cuz I was a fan of the games before the anime and I love the show because it does so much better with characterization and story than the source material its based on. The only criticism I have is the absence of Grant in the original series, and Hector's characterization.
Grant was my favorite in the legendary heroes of Castlevania 3, and as always people forget about him. Then there's Hector who's character was butchered cuz sexual predator Warren Ellis had a hate boner for his voice in the show. He left out Grant cuz of his last name, which is really immature and stupid. I'm glad he's not writing the series anymore, but I'll never forgive them for that. Not to mention, season 4 was awful for so many reasons, and I disliked Greta. She was definitely a shoe-in for Grant, and that makes me mad.
I honestly think Clive Bradley is a better writer and Nocturne a better show. Not to mention the other writers like Testament and the ladies who wrote the Annette-centric episodes. Definitely a step-up from the original series.
Also, I hated the way Trevor and Sypha's relationship was handled at the end. There was build-up, only for it to end up in an anticlimactic scene of them in bed together. No confession. No kiss. Nothing. Absolutely boring and a letdown. Nocturne handled the romance department better for sure.
