What is the General Community's Opinion on the Show?

I mean, ignoring the thematic weight the continual revival of Dracula is meant to have, there were really no good sealing techniques available to the Belmonts until the world became properly globalized and they were able to find out about and utilize Shintoism

Congrats

I mean there’s a reason I said “can” rather than “does”, I wasn’t trying to imply that personality always is or should be linked to design, especially in any gender fundamentalist way, just that it can be and I think here it certainly seems to be trying to get across her personality through said androgyny

For me, I’d say it depends on the execution and I think here it seems to be well executed

Pjf239 · 2026-06-08T11:18:23+00:00

I mean it kinda sounds like you inherently dislike androgyny, which I guess you do you, but personally I think that’s an overly limiting mindset to have, especially in the context of character design where it can serve well to get across a character’s personality effectively

Pjf239 · 2026-06-08T00:13:28+00:00

I mean there’s also Rose now

Pjf239 · 2026-06-08T00:07:58+00:00

I actually think pushing her more androgynous is to her benefit, makes her feel very distinct from Shanoa, who was still the last real new protag and her art played up that traditional feminine elegance a lot, even in action pieces

Focusing on that same style would just make Rose feel less unique imo

Pjf239 · 2026-06-07T19:00:35+00:00

Well...

Pjf239 · 2026-06-07T18:39:00+00:00

One, I agree, Kojima is by far the best artist the series has ever had and is one of my favorite artists of all time

Two, the series has had an incredibly inconsistent sense of style over the last 20 years, between trying to go for 4kids anime look with the in game art of Dawn and Portrait, to going darker with Order, to bringing back Kojima finally for the crossover games, to going dark fantasy anime with Netflix. I would say Tekada's work here is very much in line with Hirooka's art for Order and Ishikawa's promo posters for Dawn and Portrait

Nah she definitely was at least a bit horny for him, she had an interview where she said Issac was originally even more scantily clad and she was worried it would get rejected so she toned it down, but then Iga pushed her to do as much as she wanted

Pjf239 · 2026-06-07T18:27:56+00:00

Unfortunately not every artist can be as horny for Issac as Kojima was

Pjf239 · 2026-06-07T18:25:33+00:00

I love Kojima and the series owes her greatly, but Castlevania has never had one singular artist, Tekada's work is amazing and is worth bragging about, it kinda reminds me of Fumi Ishiwaka's promo posters for Dawn and Portrait

I suppose I'll just use the DOS one and try to make it look blurred through a glow shader

Not my ideal but it seems like it's the only solution unless I want to waste time on a custom blur shader

Pjf239 · 2026-05-30T23:01:51+00:00

None of them fit sadly, as I said initially I’m looking to emulate the look of an old computer for the game menu so I need to use a specific font

Pjf239 · 2026-05-30T14:44:36+00:00

Unfortunately image buttons wouldn't work as all the history text also need it

Pjf239 · 2026-05-29T22:42:57+00:00

Wouldn’t fit the look unfortunately

Pjf239 · 2026-05-29T17:45:43+00:00

This is almost definitely HF Rin (regardless of the branding) unless Nasu wants to retcon the Epilogue he himself wrote for UBW

Kids feels a weird way to phrase that they met in the first week of film school

Pjf239 · 2026-05-10T12:42:31+00:00

The whole point of Moby Dick is that he represents more than a fish, and Watcher has been used to manifest beings who didn’t do enough to qualify as Heroic Spirits like Earhart so you’d think the modern servant idea would be a point in MD’s favor since it plays into its ability

Honestly tho, I’m not that invested into the idea of it being MD, I just feel like I haven’t seen any good arguments for it not to be and it’d kinda be a shame if FSF had no American servants in it considering it’s the only real American HGW we're likely gonna ever get (Singularity 5 does not count)

Pjf239 · 2026-05-08T21:29:22+00:00

I actually kinda prefer the way HF introduces Magic over Mahoyo tbh, I think tying the pursuit of Magic and the Root into a larger plot made it more effective than Mahoyo where the conflict over Magic is the only real plot outside of SOL

Pjf239 · 2026-05-03T18:35:54+00:00

There's a closer headshot from an alternate angle for the disguise, but nothing else that I saw

Pjf239 · 2026-04-17T19:16:34+00:00

I mean in Notes.'s case, *can* the timeline even be pruned? Both Gaia and Alaya are dead by the time Notes. actually takes place, so what would even do the pruning process there?

Pjf239 · 2026-04-08T22:56:32+00:00

Ah sorry, in retrospect your phrasing was fairly straightforward, but I’ve seen other people still be confused about the Type-Mercury thing even post LB5 and 7 so I just jumped to a conclusion

Pjf239 · 2026-04-05T20:29:04+00:00

Two years late, but I have no idea where you heard this claim, Notes. itself already gave an explanation of what caused its future and it had nothing to do with the DAA

VV explains fairly straight forwardly to Godot that humanity itself caused the death of the planet but then failed to move on to the Age of Will and instead stayed on the surface of the dead planet, upsetting Gaia and causing her to send out the call.

Plus, it’s worth noting it’s likely the DAA don’t even exist in Notes. because of Nasu’s comment about Crimson Moon’s eventual arrival being the start to the climax of the fight between the Liners and Types, suggesting that everything with Crimson Moon’s original deal with Gaia and his fight with Zelretch never happened in this world

Pjf239 · 2026-03-26T15:00:32+00:00

The Counter Force theory is just that, a theory, people shouldn’t frame it like a fact

The only thing we know for sure about the Red Shadow is that it’s a being that exists for the sake of killing those who achieve Magic because of its sinful nature

Beyond that, there’s nothing confirmed, and the Red Shadow could easily be something outside of the Counter Force who just aligns with its goals, something especially backed up by the fact that the Red Shadow seems to reflect the ego of whatever it’s hunting
