Japanese video game magazine Famitsu has followed up the bloody first trailer for Netflix's Castlevania animated series with a new poster, which hearkens back to the classic NES artwork. As you can see, the still unnamed hero (we assume he's one of the Belmont clan) is shown, whip in hand as the threat of Dracula looms large in the background.

Producer Adi Shankar has previously teased a "dark, satirical" adaptation that would "flip the vampire sub-genre on its head," and more recently he promised us the "western world's first good video game adaptation." That remains to be seen of course, but with talent like Warren Ellis and Adventure Time's Kevin Kolde involved, it should be well worth a look at the very least.

Castlevania is set for a July 7 premiere. Check out the poster and a synopsis below.

Inspired by the classic video game series, Castlevania is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert and Adi Shankar.

I did love the new Voltron series from Netflix, so I'll definitely give this one a try.

@ForceOfLegend -

It's far from a perfect series, but it's still really enjoyable, especially if you're already familiar with the animation and character style of The Last Airbender or The Legend Of Korra.

If there's one thing wrong with it though, I guess it's gonna have to be the soundtrack. It's not like it's bad or anything. Just somewhat generic and not very memorable.

I'm really looking forward to this! Netflix is producing some real gems lately. I'm waiting on Knights of Sidonia season 3, Ajin season 3, and a true season 2 to Seven Deadly Sins. This show looks fun from the little I've seen of it.

I might just watch this for the sake of Dracula's inclusion, never player Castlevania but I love Dracula.

That poster is cool as shit, I'm kinda excited for this. If it does well it may mean more video game tv series, which I've always thought would be a more translatable medium than film.
