I got worried when I found out the French Revolution features heavily in it as opposed to just being in background like the original game, given how used I am to the typical “this is Literally Animal Farm” shitlib plotline is (Hello Bioshock Infinite). I’d rather watch my nostalgia-bait anime vampire slop without rolling my eyes every five minutes.
Not to say I don’t have other concerns about the quality of the show (nothing to do with Gamers™️ seething about the POC characters in it).
I can hope.
I really liked how the previous show had a working romantic relationship between two competent adult characters where it starts there and there's no senpai notice me nyaaaah waifu shit at all.
It's interesting to me since they're "retconning" Annette from being Richter's girlfriend from the start. On the plus side, it looks like they made her an actual character as opposed to the games.
