Hellsing? Its even got Dracula.
Castlevania anime was lit. Some scenes seemed forced (as in they were there more for the sake of being there than being good) but it was a good introduction. I'm not really sure why they decided to do a 4 episode Season 1 though. I mean they obviously knew they were going to do Season 2 already - they wouldn't have ended Season 1 the way they did if Season 2 wasn't already confirmed.
The animators know what they were doing - nothing failed to pass QC. There is only so much someone can do with a shittacular production schedule though.
The Castlevania games have jokes but stuff still gets really bloody and violent in them. It's just obscured in some part by the artstyle, pixels, etc.

besides that
It did feel like a glorified pilot but with us being the test audience
explains the pacing

I will argue this for shitty cgi in anime like Berserk or Arslan. When you want to flood the screen with a massive army charing at another massive army you can do that shit a lot faster and cheaper then with hand drawn. Imagine the perfect Berserk adaptation how long some of those battle scenes would take to animate.

You can use 3D assets for those. I'd be fine with a merging of the two. But for more subtler stuff and non massive battles 2D should be doable. Pretty much Berserk post Golden Age isn't even really like that though minus some stuff during the Millenium Falcon arc.

RIP Studio Artland.
It's a shame that their last anime was Seven Mortal Sins.

I'm not saying I disagree, but I get someone who'd argue that bad moving cg to simulate an army fighting is technically better then a still shot of an army fighting with shaky cam.
Of course, how castlevania handled it should be what berserk did.

The last parenthesis isn't in the BBCode.
Do it like Thunderbolt Fantasy or Kubo and the Two Strings.
I think they can get away with it as the manga often portrays the huge battles in the Golden Age by often focusing on the smaller personal battles and skirmishes. The battle of Doldrey is mostly Guts fighting and the surprise attack on the castle while the dust quite literally obscures the battlefield.
Looks like their more memorable works are the ones they assisted on rather than fully produced. Macross, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Lupin III Red Jacket, Char's Counterattack.
Don't blame me for GAF's bad BBCode auto-insertion!
It's been a good year for adult action cartoon shows. Samurai Jack, Castlevania, and Lastman (technically not out in America yet, but is getting dubbed and sent to Mondo soon-ish). Plus season 2 of Castlevania and probably Assassins Creed next year.
That's compared to essentially nothing for the last few decade plus (unless you count stuff like Archer, which I mostly don't).
It wasn't done right, AT ALL.
I've seen freshman level CGI stuff have better production quality than fucking Berserk.

CGI, if done right, is perfectly fine, even for a show like Berserk.

Pretty much...
I just looked it up and the last season was only last year. Just give them more money Adult Swim.
They spend a lot of time writing the show and it shows. They're adherence to their own lore and then subverting it later on is... well impressive to say the least. The fact its so well written in general only adds to that as a random character mentioned in a joke in an early season will become a fully fledged cast member several seasons down the line with a full background and connections to other characters in universe.
And it was only eight episodes.
Fingers crossed.
It's what I've been hoping for ever since.
But CN isn't the kind of network to give'a damn. Justice League action...
RIP JL Action
Who isn't in that show?
Orpheus is cool in my books
They didn't even gave it a chance. Just ran it at shitty hours and when it didn't get views cancelled it. CN turned into Nick recently, where if a show didn't make TT:Go numbers it was cancelled.

Would Supervillain prison be better or worse than regular prison?

Another one bites the dust.
Depends on the kind and implementation.
Like, I wouldn't want to be in Arkham Asylum, lol.
I imagine Supervillain
Hey they did Mushisi
As far as I know, it wasn't ever cancelled, they just didn't put it on future schedules.
Arkham wasn't really a prison, but somehow way more fucked then the actual prison, Belle Reve.

I mean if they weren't raised in a malfunctioning bed maybe they would be smarter.
I'm sure having a killing machine like Brock Samson around murdering costumed goons left and right probably didn't help.
Hey the price to pay for adventure
Basing from the arkham games and a comic it's because all of batman's villains are insane and because of that they become good hotels for metahumans
