Series Blurb:

Dracula’s war against humanity rages on! After gathering his generals from around the world, a growing unrest in the world of vampires has become clear and it may be Dracula’s human allies, Hector and Isaac, that tip the balance of power amongst the undead. But Trevor, Sypha and Alucard are taking dangerous steps to counter the coming war.       

My Review:

Characters

four-and-a-half-star-rating-md

A continuously developing colorful cast of characters that have depth, courage, and cajones.

Plot

fourstars

Though we started off a bit slow this season, the wait was well worth it and packed with intrigue, mystery, and chaos.

Flow

The plot thickens with plenty of interesting revelations and history relating to the world around them. No boring side stories here!

Overall Impression

After watching the first season of Castlevania I had to have more, so I quickly dove into season two. I was not disappointed.

Season two continued the epic gruesome story of Dracula versus the world, and so many elements here were still really great.

Our cast of characters expands as we get to see more on the Dracula side of things. He’s looking for war, and he’s got an entire army of vampiric nobles to carry out his orders. Of course we also have our main protagonists, who have some good character progression along the journey.

The plot didn’t disappoint. I’ll admit the season started a tad slow, but the slow build and elements of mystery were well worth the wait before we plunged into catastrophe. Like last time there were plenty of great battles to sink our fangs into, and there were plenty of plot twists I didn’t see coming that kept me hooked until the shocking end.

In the end, season two of Castlevania was a bloody, mysterious delight, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next season!

 

Final Score

8/10
