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.

I get you, but adapting a video game into watchable entertainment obviously isn't easy based on how many shit adaptations there are. You can't base an entire series around Trevor fighting his way through a castle and nothing else every episode, after all; if that's all you want, just play the game. There's gotta be talking and stuff when it comes to TV shows and movies.

This is what Castlevania should sound like:

Not going to argue with you there. Castlevania is known for it's totally kick-ass OSTs. I actually own several, and they're all awesome.

Personal favorite of mine, which would have been awesome to hear in the Netflix series:

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.

It's called a time jump, dude. I mean, it makes sense to me since Dracula has been killed in the second season (apparently whatever version of vBulletin this forum uses doesn't support spoiler tags. Sorry!). Really nowhere to go based on that fact except into the future, since the games generally deal with Dracula's castle reappearing every 100 years.

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.

If I recall, the Succubus wasn't even posable. Well unless you counted her removable top that exposed her boobies as a "pose."
