I'm only on the second episode but so far I'm digging it

    Is the series as a whole actually good? I feel like most "adult" cartoons just have characters say fuck a lot and rely on gratuitous violence.

      It's good, has good drama and plot (it'd also not a comedy) and isn't at all like most western comedy cartoons geared towards adults.

        Alright that sounds promising. I was worried it would be filled with Whedonisms.

      They do say fuck a lot and there is a ton of gratuitous violence, but there is actually some pretty damn good characterization and stories going on too behind all that, particularly with Dracula and some of his minions in the first series.

      Since this new series is just on its first season it hasnt really hit the same marks in terms of story, but the flashbacks set in the Haitian revolution are still really effective.

        Yeah as long as the story is actually good I don't mind it at all.

      The series really captures the feeling of playing dnd if that makes sense? Like the quips and reactions remind me of the interactions the players have. Also if you’ve played any of the castlevania games you’ll be like leo-point a bunch as there’s a lot of classic monsters and bosses
