Screw Realism - This is All I Need! (Castlevania Netflix Series)

I was cautiously optimistic when the animated show was first announced, but now that I'm done with all 4 seasons it's honestly one of the absolute best things I've ever watched. The animation quality, voice acting, character depth, and story writing overall are phenomenal.

So... in a world of vampires and magic there is no room for realism. Or is there? Of course I'll find a way to ramble about realistic elements and little logical details that show how much thought was put into this. I think Trevor Belmont is not impressed by my comments about his battle cross though. :)

But whatever, that cranky guy is just jealous of Alucard's extra long longsword... looks like the blade was elongated to at least about 150% compared to Symphony of the Night.
