James Hanton Starburst The acting, the imagination, and the artistry on display prove thrilling. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Castlevania: Nocturne’s second season was a lot like the original show’s second season in that it tied up all the storylines and had some great fighting to boot, only this time the fight choreography was on another level entirely. Rated: 5/5 Feb 9, 2025 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) Castlevania: Nocturne is the new beginning. It is one of the best video game adaptations. It’s an action-packed series with strong themes and well-developed characters. Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Nadya Martinez Big Gold Belt Media Nocturne season 2 is just as exciting, with some of the craziest fights, character arcs and level ups. It features jaw-dropping action and stunning animation as the high-stakes battle continues between humanity and vampire aristocrats. Rated: 5/5 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson People's World Revolution comes to dark fantasy animation. Those who want the same old story-beats with characters who all fit a particular look will no doubt disparage the adaptation as being “woke” or “DEI.” Don’t listen to them. Rated: A Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Frantz Jerome Black Nerd Problems Castlevania: Nocturne season two is phenomenal and brilliant in its understanding of the complexities of history and relationships.

Audience Member Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 is a definite improvement over the first, refining its pacing, deepening its character arcs, and delivering more engaging action sequences. Richter finally comes into his own, and the supporting cast feels more fleshed out, making for a more compelling narrative. The animation is sharper, the fights are better choreographed, and the stakes feel higher, giving the show a much-needed boost in energy and focus. However, while the season builds up tension effectively, the resolution feels rushed and forced. Instead of a satisfying payoff, the final episodes try to wrap up too many threads too quickly, leaving certain character arcs underdeveloped and major conflicts resolved in ways that feel unearned. It’s as if the writers knew where they wanted to end but struggled with how to get there organically. Overall, Season 2 is a solid step up from its predecessor, offering a more engaging and entertaining experience. However, its hesitation in sticking the landing keeps it from reaching the heights of the original Castlevania series. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member Great second season. I want more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Jacob H This is garbage. The fact that it took a second season to introduce characters that fans love is astounding. But what is more terrible is the fact that there appear to be so many false or out-of-touch reviews. This continues the legacy of the first season. Poorly written, executed, and certainly can't hold your attention long enough for it to get good. What's even more horrible is the fact that amid so much blasphemy, there appears to be little redeeming morals in the series. The characters are haunted by their past, and the series tries to have us care about the boring protagonists while they try reconcile their part in the story. Worse yet, we are still confused as to why so many villains appear again in the second season instead of introducing new ones and making the first season a foundation for the next. There's nothing definitive with season 2. This would be 30% or less positive without a doubt. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Thomas W Weak story and bad pacing. you could skip the first half of the episodes as little happens till the end. Though really the story just is nothing compared to its predessesor and this time period is not the right setting for the franchise it needs to be older. Overall there is no where near enough action. I would end this show and go back 500 years with new more interesting characters and better period. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Victor L I made an account while on the plane just to review this masterpiece, i loved the first season, i am not familiar completely with the source material only playing through a bit of a early castlevanis game. The storyline, the characters the romance, the pacing all plays perfectly into each other, i hate critics but God I must say this thing from stylistic choices to artistry is a masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Matheus C This is anything but Castlevania. Horrible script, poorly written and almost offensive.
