I think it's because it's a little controversial in the fanbase. As a very casual Castlevania enjoyer, I thought the first series was fantastic. Imagine my shock when I hopped onto the main Castlevania subreddit to find that a lot of fans actually don't really like the series. There's a bunch of liberties taken with the story that get knocked down. Namely, removing Grant Danasty from CV III's plot, completely altering Hector's role and turning Carmilla into a main antagonist.
There were a lot of racists and/or conservatives using right wing talking points and calling the show “woke” in the subreddit when I watched Nocturne. Also a weird amount of feudal apologia and demonizing the peasants for the French Revolution. Just bootlicker stuff.
God I haven’t watched nocturnal (I’m planning on it tho after invincible) but Jesus the amount of people screaming that a black person being a vampire is unrealistic and other nonsense. Like bro you’re watching a show set in a weird magic medical Europe where you have vampires, demons, and magic running around places and nobody gives a crap. Black people existing in Europe being realistic or not it’s a fucking show about vampires
They disliked Nocturne because of a culture war. I disliked Nocturne because the voice acting was terrible compared to the main series. We are not the same
Haha honestly. When someone has bigger issues with the black vampire lady as opposed to the voice acting or pace/plot, I know they're an unserious person.
