>is there any reason I should continue watching modern anime?

No.

Is this anime? It has Japanese VA or is american dub only

If it's american only I won't watch it.

It is an american cartoon animated by an american studio
Only the source material is jap

it gets kind of rad and gory

so depends on what your interest in rad gory action is vs. your tolerance for pandering materialist science cultism

There is no Japanese audio. The animation looks very crisp, but I think movement is a little clunky and the voices seem to fit poorly. I was banking that the story would carry everything but from what I see it's the most clear cut case of
>religion is BAD
>science (fuck yea) is GOOD
Literally starts in ~1450, Lisa walks up to Dracula
>like, omg, gimmie science and can you stop imapling people Drac?
>Drac: ok.

>Castlevania without japs

What's the point? it's like the new games goddamit japan stop doing cute girls mobile games and go back to this

>pro-science, anti-religion
>Netflix

I see a pattern...

Japan would have fucked this up. They are shit at adaptions

It was rushed, but i got the feeling vlad was bored as fuck so he decided to entertain the idea of having a human apprentice. She was probably the first human he met that wasnt trying to kill him or running in terror.

I watched the first episode with Japanese dub. It exists.

>only 4 episodes

this shit is a glorified OVA, call me when a real series is released

Season 2 has already been confirmed.

>Is there any reason I should continue watching this trash?

of course, OP. to have yourself a good self-indulgent whinge on Sup Forums

Is there any reason you're posting anime trash on the wrong board

WHAT? there is a anachronistic word in my cartoon about a vampire hunter and a magic wielding vampire and his army of demons from hell!? holy shit dropped hard!

o sweet, 4 more 22 min episodes where nothing happens

should i watch this or replay symphony of the night?

leave your number then

>hurr durr this show is anti religion

Try watching past the first episode, Trevor literally tells a priest to gather as much holy water as he can to repel the bat monsters in the last episode. They make a point about religion not being inherently bad but it can be used by bad people.

Actually 8 episodes

Stick with your cultureless, creatively bankrupt, jew infested gaijin bastardizations, plebs

it's Anime, there's a debate that if it's made by Americans it's not anime. and my answer to this is: are animes made by Koreans and Chinese animators in Japan not Anime? This is anime, its entire fucking influence is Anime, artwise anyways. Period.

About the dub. The american, and original dub is attrocious, lots of stupid accents and one Hispanic character in 1470 Rumania speaking with an slightly altered hispanic tone (I'm hispanic)

The Japanese dub is superior. I'm not a weeb, I just happened to download the Horriblesub release not knowing it had Jap audio and in deed it was better.

but probably the worst of the show is the direction and the dialogues. Call it bad decision making on the part of the director, if you will.

This is Sup Forums you aren't allowed to have actually watched the show you have an opinion on user

Koreans and Chinese get a pass if the studio is Japanese. They're close enough, culturally, racially, historically, geographically. The second you let westerners into the mix you can expect us to bring in the grab bag full of globalist propagandistic bullshit that we already have to put up with in all of our media. It's just for the best that gaijin shit does not classify as anime. Let the Japanese have their own culture. Let them be Japanese. Fuck western culture.

t. amerilard

I'm talking solely about the art. Also it does make more sense that Jap art got Jewed. What else did you expect?

B-B-But my Christian victim complex

>Trevor literally tells a priest to gather as much holy water as he can to repel the bat monsters in the last episode.

Yea, keyword there is "the last episode." In the last episode, purely for the sake of plot convenience, a cowardly priest is able to do something and, what a surprise, holy water actually works.

Every other reference to god or religion is clearly done with an atheistic slant. It's given no quarter whatsoever. All the priests are corrupt, vicious, stupid, or violent thugs. Dracula explicitly makes a point of only using the phrase "your god," instead of just "god" as would be historically appropriate. The demons get a speaking part where they bash on god and religion. There is absolutely no ambiguity about the rather forced and unnecessary messages that "religion is stupid and evil," unlike vampires and even baby eating demons.

Face it, this studio was populated with fedora tipping redditors. They were unable to stop themselves from dragging social politics into the project, and it shows.

>b-b-but christianity is evil ;_;

It's not about defending christianity you dense, tasteless, projecting, contrarian normalcattle shitstain. Nobody on Sup Forums is a fucking practicing christian. It's just a simple and observable fact that the writers in this studio have been watching Sam Harris and posting on reddit.

>m..m..muh free speech
>s...stop crying about r..racism SJWs!
>WAIT A TV SHOW HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN ME?
>DELETE THIS
Do you realise how ironic this is?

>b-b-but Christianity is evil
Literally who on this thread said that? Why do you have to perpetuate your victim complexes?

The show depicts the Gresit Bishop as evil, not the church as a whole.

Are you guys really that dense thinking it is anti-christian?
I don't even watch anime but it was a fun watch.

>well this show isn't very good
>TRIGGERED SJW? GO BACK TO Sup Forums

seriously?

It's trash for videotoys players, you should kill yourself just for having considered it

God abandoned man because Man (such as the Gresit Bishop) have tainted God's word for evil / selfish purposes

Were you also upset that Dracula had electricity and shit? And that everyone dresses like it's the 19th century?

>"I believe in science"

Dropped it right there.

Do you realize what a fucking crap that is?

If Sup Forums created a studio and bastardized a better work, cramming in a bunch of unnecessary references to black inferiority and jewish supremacy, it would also be shit. It's not that Sup Forums "disagrees" with atheism, you fucking insufferable newfaggot. It's what atheism has become as a culture and community that Sup Forums autists absolutely correctly object to. Fedoratipping redditors are subhuman cancer and deserve genocide by an inefficient and convoluted lethal gassing program organized at the state level.

>TRIGGERED SJW? GO BACK TO Sup Forums
I didn't say that
>well this show isn't very good
You didn't say this either, you're complaining about muh propaganda.

You clearly implied that the people criticizing this movie were doing so because they were christians. That was the point, there. And you're doing it again, and are incorrect, again. Tip your dense self back on over to reddit. Sup Forums is a pious, Christian board.

The demons talking to the bishop seem to imply that god is around, just not protecting him and the current church for being cunts.

No, I was implying the people who were feeling insulted ITT were Christians. And you just confirmed it with your comment, sooooooo

>opinion
It's called blatant lies, user. Open a book sometime. Lying for the sake of your ideology is despicable.

> religion is bad m'kay

>All the priests are corrupt, vicious, stupid, or violent thugs
gee, such a wird thing in dark fantasy for a organisation of authority to be corrupted and evil
>Dracula explicitly makes a point of only using the phrase "your god," instead of just "god"
gee, why would dracula do that, it's not like his character has no respect for god
> The demons get a speaking part where they bash on god and religion.
holy fuck, why would demons do such a thing? obviously demons should love god, demons love god and religion. such a bullshit propaganda

you are retarded. do you think that house of cards is anti american as well because it shows a corrupt politician?

>Sup Forums is a pious, Christian board.
r/thedonald pls

Yes that was interesting considering that, previously all throughout the series, the fedora tipping writers couldn't bring themselves to validate the idea of god's existence in anyway. So right there you see an inconsistency, which was brought about by the insertion of unnecessary modern politics into a historical fantasy setting.

They're fine with the idea of having vampires and flying demons and raining fetuses, but whenever god is mentioned they made a point to shoe horn in implicit doubt and skepticism about the notion. Just a disappointing aggravation. As writers they should really be more aware than to do that

Meant for >If Sup Forums created a studio and bastardized a better work, cramming in a bunch of unnecessary references to black inferiority and jewish supremacy, it would also be shit.
That is literally my point. If there was a Sup Forums show it'd be just as shit, but instead we'd get threads going "Wow guys have you seen this BASED as fuck show?!".
>blatant lies
But the show shows exactly how corrupt the church was in the 15th century.

absence of god is a standard theme in dark fantasy, it adds to the atmosphere and horror you mouthbreather

>"science" even though the word was invented in the 19th century
um, where did you get this from? 'Science' and its roots in old french and latin date back to Roman times

speaking only for myself here but i like to complain about shit. it brings me joy. i dont want anyone barred from creating their bullshit if they want to. i just wanna be able to scream its shit if its shit

Only valid argument ITT right now.

>pandering materialist science cultism
this isn't a thing

>Dracula explicitly makes a point of only using the phrase "your god," instead of just "god" as would be historically appropriate.
"PERHAPS THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF ALL RELIGIONS!"

>Wow guys have you seen this BASED as fuck show?!
is there on show Sup Forums actually likes other than that space anime with shit german translations?

>>religion is BAD
>>science (fuck yea) is GOOD
This is objectively true

Man in the high castle kinda

is there any fantasy anime or media that doesnt devolve into the evil church angle?

>gee, why would dracula do that, it's not like his character has no respect for god
I've really got you here. It's not about conveying dracula's disrespect or opposition to god. It's about shoe horning in the idea that "god doesn't exist because other societies have different gods so how can they all be real" etc etc. It's really just not needed or at all relevant in the plot. It's just the writers automatically and perhaps thoughtlessly reciting the typical lines that they have become familiar with. I.e. bad writing. And more about bad writing: later in the show it is acknowledged that god, in fact, is a legitimate concept. So why the duplicity on that particular issue? Is this a part of the plot? No. Is this a part of anyone's character development? No. It's politics in my cartoons, and I don't take kindly to that.

>do you think that house of cards is anti american as well because it shows a corrupt politician?
Never seen or heard of it. But I see what you're saying and can imagine what you're talking about. So my answer is: No. Not necessarily. But it depends. And in this case, talking about the gaijewnime, the answer to that same question about religion is just "yes."

Maybe you're new to social media, and weren't here when fedora tipping was all the rage. In that case, I can understand why you'd be more tolerant of it's apparently subtle inclusion in unrelated media. But I assure you that it is cancerous to the degree of reddit

>uh religion is totally at war with science daddy im not going to church anymore. :(

Religion has literally always been at war with the search for knowledge and truth, as the whole point of religion is filling in the blanks of things we do not understand
The more we know the less of a role religion plays in society,a nd people who control religions have absolutely no interest in seeing that

I'm understand that, and that's fine. But bad writing is bad writing. And what you're not understanding is that, in this work, it is necessary for god to exist as a concept and perhaps an entity of some sort. Establishing that premise was clumsily done in the last episode, and really contradicted the earlier, established themes about the place of god in this story. It's not that I'm objecting to criticizing god, you need to look past the scripted debate on that issue understand that.

just keep watching your cartoons faggot.

>But the show shows exactly how corrupt the church was in the 15th century.
Simply not true.

1. The Church was never present in Wallachia in the first place, that's for one.

2. It doesn't show the Church as corrupt, it shows the church as evil anti-science anti-medicine, burning women at the stake because they were practicing medicine ("I believe in science"). This never happened. The Church never had the authority to burn whoever, the only juridiction it had was to excommunicate, the MONARCHIES had the power to put their subjects to death if they deemed it right, according to Christian principles, and often in opposition with what the Church declared. Did you just forget that there were countries with sovereign leaders and law of land? NB: these monarchies rebelled many times against the Church because it wanted more power, and many monarchs were excommunicated.

3. The Church didn't do witch-trials and wasn't concerned with this "problem".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchcraft#Europe
>The Church and European society were not always so zealous in hunting witches or blaming them for misfortunes. Saint Boniface declared in the 8th century that belief in the existence of witches was un-Christian.
>The Church did not invent the idea of witchcraft as a potentially harmful force whose practitioners should be put to death. This idea is commonplace in pre-Christian religions.

Witch trials are commonplace in Protestant societies in the 17th century.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_trials_in_the_early_modern_period

And as for the Church being anti-science, this is a funny statement :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology#Before_the_eighteenth_century

I haven't even watched it, I just saw people whining about science on the main page.
Anti-science, natural food, vaccines and GMOs are bad people are the worst and should be given shit at any opportunity

>I've really got you here. It's not about conveying dracula's disrespect or opposition to god. It's about shoe horning in the idea that "god doesn't exist because other societies have different gods so how can they all be real" etc etc. It's really just not needed or at all relevant in the plot.
Dracula doesn't want to be associated with god, in fact he introduces himself as an opposition to him, so he calls him "your god". because dracula doesn't worship no gods, in his mind he is a god. thats part of his character, it does tell the viewer something about him. you are seeing things that aren't there with this argument

>the whole point of religion is filling in the blanks of things we do not understand

religion deals with conscious and the feelings of regret and guilt that we share.

religion promoted inquiry to discover the nature of God and his world.

science is going down and your not gonna stop it.

vampires don't exist and neither does black magic

that not how the world work son.

Religious people still fucking say evolution isn't a thing

vampires or the country of not-transylvania don't exist either, so what exacly are you arguing about? yes, the show is fiction, it is not historically accurate. everyone knows that

there is no despair when characters have faith or hope, and dark fantasy is all about despair

For obvious reasons it's a theme that's really been done to death at this point. If you're going to do the 'corrupt and evil church' theme, it's going to be hard to stand out. Ironically it's much easier to make a more engaging setting by, at least initially, conveying christianity in a positive light. And that adds depth to the story. Plus, it's very easy to do in a visually captivating way because of the already existing vivid, evocative, and widely recognizable iconography of catholocism.

For example, consider how the 'good side' of christianity could have played into Lisa's humanitarian motivations. She could have been seeking medical science out of a religiously motivated desire to "serve god's will and his children." There's just multiple ways to include religion into this kind of setting, and frederator studios really took a dump on it here.

It's also fun to bicker about because people are conditioned to give alot of attention to "atheism vs religion" subjects, and this is an example where being anti-atheism is both a controversial and cutting edge position, while having solid, visible evidence behind it.

Yeah, just like its hard to make a show where child molestation is shown in a positive light, religion is inherently bad

Wow how unbelievably offensive. People believing things I know are untrue because of the influence of generational, covertly economic social hierarchies? God, such a thing would never exist in our modern, enlightened society. I am completely outraged that other people would be so much stupider than me. Everybody must be made aware of this.

>even though the word was invented in the 19th century

That's just incorrect and even if it were true it wouldn't matter. They could go around calling it philosophy or physics but people would get confused so they changed it to its modern English equivalent much in the same way they did with every other word in the show.

Plus the anti-religion stuff is undercut by it being made clear that the main priest is a nutter and his underlings are hired thugs.

If anything the whole thing is a rather trite "don't look the other way when crazy people take over".

And no you shouldn't continue watching it. Perhaps jumping out into moving traffic is more your speed.

> the church was anti science

atheists sure love science but hate history

>believing in evolution

Yet for 1,000 years and up until your parent's generation, christianity was seen as the icon of good will among men on Earth. Incorrect or not, your inability or refusal to understand that history is not intelligence. You're not smarter than them. You're actually stupider, more brainwashed, but have been given better information on that one, particular matter.

Yet I'm sure your religious grandparents would have been able to raise a better family than your undoubtedly single, porn addicted, fedora tipping butt is capable of doing!

Why are you defending bad things existing?

and you mention "covertly economic" as though its an excuse why it is not religion's fault, when that is the inherent state of all religion. Religions are successful only when they trick people into not believing actual truth

>virusfactory.com

Yeah, no.

I saw an interview with Dawkins. Basically, he said that prior to Darwin, it was impossible not to be religious. Before the theory of evolution, everything would really have seemed like magic.

>Religions are successful only when they trick people into not believing actual truth

religion is successful because people suffer and need comfort

your posts are ignorant to the point that your critiscisms cant be taken seriously. at least some atheists actually have an understanding of that which they condemn.

Did you not notice that all these people were priests?

They could also have been gay because it was impossible not to be. Dawkins can say some pretty retarded things.

>trusting magnets

>Why are you defending bad things existing?

Because it's not that simple. You're brainwashed as fuck, bro. I mentioned the inherently economic aspect of the christain social hierarchy because that same system is still very well alive and kicking in our society today.

The "truth" is that Christianity is already dead. It doesn't fucking matter, anymore. Let them believe what they're going to. Our quality of life in the first is being RAPED by the international capitalist elite, yet these self righteous, clueless, childish losers want to waste time and energy dividing society further about trivial issues, just so they can feel smart and special about themselves by bickering with christians. You're not going to change them! Grow up and find more relevant hobbies, kiddos! Carlin was relevant 30 years ago. But not today. Let it goooooooooooooooooo

Yeah, it's the first time I've seen his argument begin to break down. Especially when it's not even a standard interest in religion, but many of them took it to the next level like Newton, or the priests you mentioned.

super misleading line of reasoning

Not religious but I prefer Christian allegories in fiction so much more than I do the 'science>religion' bashfests since they're so overdone these days.

>The "truth" is that Christianity is already dead

says increasing nervous man for the millionth time.

>religion is successful because people suffer and need comfort
This is bullshit, people are born into religion, they don't choose it, they are indoctrinated as small children

Religion has killed billions of people, if you defend it you share its crimes

Yep

>They could also have been gay because it was impossible not to be
