Video games have a lot of good things, but one thing that is often hit or miss is the adaptations done for them. Whether it’s cartoons, TV shows, or movies they rarely hit the mark like gamers know they sometimes can. However, on Netflix, a dark, very mature cartoon came out in the form of Castlevania. This take on the Konami game series was a hit with both fans and critics. And now, the second season of the cartoon is about to arrive to the streaming service.
Many are excited about this second season, including showrunner Adi Shankar, who talked with ComicBook.com about it.
“I’m super pumped. Season two is better than season one. It’s just better than season one. We were literally just fixing the last episode last weekend – literally on Friday – and it’s better than season one,”
It’s impressive that he thinks that this season is definitively better than the first one, as the first one garnered a lot of praise. With the only real criticism being the length of the episodes and season.
Shankar is truly thrilled to be on this series, and in a way, he still can’t believe he’s doing it:
“[Castlevania] is something I knew I liked, and then we recruited other people to work on the show who are all fans, right? That’s why we said that the show was made by fans for fans, but I had no idea that the fan-base was large at all. I try to, in my life and in this career, reject the idea of running towards whatever is popular at the moment…because then you end up in that weird vapid zone where you’re not really doing things that speak to you,” Shankar explained. “I’m just like, ‘Yo, we made this show.’ And the fact that it’s such a juggernaut for Netflix is crazy.”
You can check out the second season of Castlevania on Netflix.
