Castlevania
Castlevania can easily lay claim to being the best video game adaption of all time. The Netflix anime does a phenomenal job of adapting everything that makes Castlevania what it is, from the melodramatic gothic story to the insane gory violence.
The anime is a loose adaption of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, following the story where Dracula finds his human wife burned at the stake and launches a war of vengeance against humanity. Trevor Belmont, last living descendant of the legendary Belmont clan takes up arms against the lord of darkness, with the help of the magician Sypha Belnades and Dracula’s son Alucard.
Castlevania has fantastic production no matter how you look at it; gorgeous animation, stellar voice acting, complex storytelling that embellishes on the game, and more. Although the first season felts a bit too short, season two feels much more robust and digs deeper into the lore of the world.
With a season 3 on the way, and the showrunner Adi Shankar now working on a Devil May Cry anime, it looks like there may be even more great video game adaptions on the way.
