Castlevania Anime Spin-off, Warren Ellis
Jun. 14th, 2021 05:15 pmThere's going to be a spin-off of the Castlevania anime featuring Richter Belmont and Maria Renard from Rondo of Blood; they'll likely meet up with Alucard, which means the spin-off will also cover Symphony of the Night. This is good news -- if there's going to be a continuation, then Symphony of the Night is definitely one of the top picks for adaptation -- though I'm a little sad about my Castlevania OT3 changing. (It's understandable, since Richter's period is a few hundred years after Trevor and Sypha's.) I'd also be a bit unhappy if the spin-off follows Alucard's fate in Symphony of the Night...he deserves better than that. :(
BTW Warren Ellis won't be writing for the spin-off following allegations of abuse. I'm not really a fan, so this doesn't affect me as much as it has other people who were deeply influenced by him, but I am disappointed in him -- I expected more from the writer behind Transmetropolitan's incisive social commentary. *sigh* Fwiw he completed all four seasons of Castlevania; maybe it makes sense for a different writer to take on the spin-off. I'll just have to wait and see.
