Netflix’s ‘Castlevania’ Series Gets Its First Teaser Trailer

July is coming up shortly. It is a month of conventions, BBQs, and (hopefully) air-conditioning. Oh yeah, and vampire-slaying. That last one is courtesy of Netflix’s upcoming series, Castlevania, based on the long-running video game series of the same name. The first teaser trailer for the show was released yesterday and it is sure to get your blood pumping! The animation has a definite anime flavor to it.

The official synopsis cleanly describes Castlvania‘s plot:

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 written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert and Adi Shankar.

You can take a gander at the trailer below. And post what you think of it in the comments. I know I am pretty psyched to watch this new show!
