It's apparently based off a video game, which is obviously not very inspiring. (I could only stomach one episode of Castlevania.) Like so many other works, it's focused on being DARK AND GRITTY as it follows Ethan, a dude whose village gets slain by a dragon, and this not-human-but-looks-like-a-human woman who promises to be his protector/servant. He is out for REVENGE. The tone of things and the flat characters and flat plot make the show rather uninteresting overall. There are some cool parts about this series, though. The naming of each episode is a deadly sin, and I kind of love symmetry that way. The peeks into the world remind me a lot of Kino's Journey - a bunch of vignettes that show how human nature is kind of fucked up, but that there's something in there worth fighting for. And hey, when he confronts the dragon, there is a neat twist to it, so that's cool as well. --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...
