I want to see Trevor actually traverse through Dracula's castle fighting actual Castlevania monsters. Not spend his time sitting in a village dumping exposition with an occassional battle against generic looking Silent Hill creatures.

I mean, it's about Dracula and a guy named Belmont with a whip who fights him and his monsters and it uses Ayami Kojima-style art & character designs, so I fail to see about the inaccuracies you're talking about.

Castlevania is supposed to be about a Belmont traveling through a huge castle full of gothic designs, battling various monsters, bosses, acquiring new items, all encompassed by an exceptional gothic rock operatic soundtrack. The animated series was Trevor and Sypha talking to each other and maybe fight a monster every few episodes, and they weren't even actual Castlevania monsters, but like I said, generic creatures. Also, the soundtrack was just generic sounding Netflix music.

This is what Castlevania should sound like:

I'm hoping the announced season 3 deals with the Symphony of the Night storyline

That wouldn't make sense to me. The animated series is on Trevor, so they have to do Simon and then Richter before they can cover Symphony of the Night. They're nearly 300 years apart.

As for the NECA figures, yes, they left a lot to be desired. They also never even bothered to at least finish off the cast with Maria and Richter, but they went ahead with a pointless Succubus figure.
