The popular Netflix series isn’t anime, is it? AWN’s anime columnist Andrew Osmond wades into the definition debate.
On the heels of its Season 1 debut, the Vampire Messiah animated thriller scores a pickup, getting another go at enslaving humanity – the hugely popular series will return with more bloody vampiric machinations, though no release date was announced.
Directors Sam & Adam Deats and EP/co-showrunner Kevin Kolde talk about their all-new series, the latest installment in the ‘Castlevania’ universe, a coming-of-age story of reckoning with trauma while destroying monsters and vampires alike… with lots of blood; now streaming on Netflix.
The Vampire Messiah looks to enslave humanity in 1792 France in the ‘Castlevania’ universe’s next installment, which streams September 28.
The next installment of the ‘Castlevania’ universe follows the sorceress Annette during the French Revolution as she seeks out vampire hunter Richter Belmont to lead the resistance against an aristocratic vampire foe; the show hits Netflix September 28.
For Kevin Kolde and Sam and Adam Deats, tying up key storylines should help audiences better appreciate the emotion behind the show’s broken, but ultimately unstoppable vampire-hunting heroes.
‘Into the Storm’ heads to Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD on November 18 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
