The much anticipated fourth season
of Castlevania turned out being its
last, which might as well. By keeping
its run relatively short, the show didn’t overstay its welcome. It prevented itself from getting overly complicated. However, even with just 32 episodes, its storytelling
and cast still got somewhat extensive.
When season 3 ended, the show had on its hand a couple of dangling
character arcs and plot threads. It was
the type of situation in which a lesser show would have easily messed it all up
(see Game of Thrones). But season 4 managed to tie each loose end
neatly, give its characters solid resolutions, and deliver a strong finish.
All in all, not only does Castlevania succeed in being an amazing
adaptation of a legendary video game, it has become more than that. It has cemented itself as one of the greatest
animated series of all time.
