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).
As far as the politics go its heart is in the right place. I thought the writing was pretty weak and some of the voice acting is more what I'd expect from 90s anime than a 2023 netflix show but a lot of people seem to really like it so ymmv
