A lot of people are bitching about it, but I really like the slow burn pacing of Season 2 so far. The extra attention to world and character building is a nice touch.

maybe i will need to rewatch but it was for sure something i was not expecting,specially dracula's plan and then what i considered to be the real end episode was so rushed for conclution.i loved season 1 and was hungry for me,this season i was more lile,oh ok so this the end,i read somewhere that a third season is confirmed lets hope they change the whole direction ..

It is so good, the animation, even the voice acting.
So refreshing after all them animes. Glad to see Western animation can still produce quality stuff

Watched the whole season. Really enjoyed the pacing, the animation, dialogue, plot, everything. I'm looking forward to Camilla the Blood Queen, as she is being set up to be a major figure int he next season. The two human stooges left something to be desired, but Alucard, Trevor, and the Cipher (not sure on the spelling) carried the whole thing. Was really good.

I mostly enjoyed season 2, but I do agree about issues with the pacing slowing down a bit too much in the middle episodes. While the antagonist plotline meandered around with conspiracy, backstories, and motivations, I didn't like how the protagonist plotline mostly stalled in place alongside all that. Banter and character interactions did somewhat keep that plotline afloat, but it overall felt borderline filler during those episodes.
But when it all gets moving, the show gets back to being sublime. Episode 7 felt so incredibly cathartic with the fantastic music, action, and animation and definitely made the show worth it despite earlier pacing issues.

Well Season 3 has been confirmed to be in the works. Also the people behind this are also working on a Zelda series as well.

The screentime and development for the side characters like may feel much better in the context of another season. I personally cared more about Trevor and crew's plotline, and they delivered when that story got moving again.

I have not finished it yet, but I really enjoyed that the creators were not afraid of the slow moment. Alucard's speech about the potential of his fathers to save humanity and his plan to blanket the world in endless night was something a lot of shows would run away from. Alucard is both in awe of his what his father could accomplish and completely convinced Dracula needs to die. It also doesn't hurt that the voice actor is excellent and ads a melodramatic flare to everything Alucard says.

I mostly took issue with the vampire court plotlines where some of the story beats felt kinda repetitive and with a lack of urgency. The backstories and character development for Isaac and Hector were good, but I wish they showed them being more involved in guiding the war effort rather than mostly meander around in place for a few episodes, especially after Dracula gave them a big intro as important generals in the first episode.

I was also excited. But then you watch it and you have to sit through cringe like "Imagine an empire ruled by four women! Vampires, sisters, we have a scheme!".
Pity.

At least from what I’ve seen of this world Dracula wasn’t exactly bent on keeping the sisterhood down and it seems a very might is right domain in vampire land.

I just couldn't get over the fact that it was such a heavy-handed way of doing this... And the Martin Luther King reference didn't help it at all.
Overall the season was OK. Can't wait for the next one as this one was pretty much just a setup for things to come.

The biggest flaw of this season is really that none of the stories matter to one another at all (thematic resonance, sure, but that's it). That and the pacing is glacial (this could easily have been another 6 episode season or even 3 episodes of a 10 episode season 4), which kind of shocked me given how expensive animation is.
I can only assume they knew they had the fourth season ordered. Still definitely a worthy watch for the last two episodes.

Bit of a slow burn, I did enjoy the setup but I felt like it took a bit long across the board. Basically all this season seems to do is
+ Show Spoiler +Setup for a next season in which shit goes down.
Decent watch but eh, not as good as the previous seasons.
|
Definitely felt slow but still enjoyable as long as you're in it for the ride.
+ Show Spoiler +Alucard is my favorite character and they did him dirty, he deserves better :'c
