Now that Netflix has released the first season of “Castlevania” (review), which was brought to life by Adi Shankar, it’s time to start digging deeper into the four episodes we’ve been given and the potential easter eggs that viewers may or may not have missed out on.
To help with that, my pal Jimmy Champane has created a video wherein he outlines five facts about the film that some people who are not well-versed in the Castlevania mythos may not have caught. You can check it out for yourself, and if you saw something that Jimmy missed, then be sure to let us know in the comments!
Inspired by the classic video game series from Japan’s Konami, “Castlevania” is an animated project written by best-selling author and comic book legend Warren Ellis. The dark medieval fantasy follows the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, who is trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes himself.

Joe: Renegades) as Sypha Belnades.
