>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST ADD BISHIES TO CASTLEVANIA EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE ATMOSPHERE, THE PROTAG SHOULD BE AN HOMOEROTIC RIPOFF OF CONAN

Why are sexually insecure mutts so cringe? Are they not aware that Alucard was inspired by Elric of Melniboné, a much better graphic novel than Conan? Honestly, only Europeans should be allowed to have an opinion on Castlevania.

This isn't allowed for anything anymore as you all will find a way to fight a war over it. Listen to China or America from now on.

The original Simon and concept art are pretty cool though. The problem is that they dragged it out untl Rondo. Ayami Kojimi certainly breathed new life, the peak of the character designs, though. I even prefer the Chronicles redesign of Simon, as we can always keep Trevor and others as the plain barbarians.

Bishonen. I think it means a male of a higher tank in Japan, or their teen mangas or something.

This in particular, OP, and not only that, but the idea of a longlived, immortal, magical entity having a beautiful humanoid appearance reflecting those traits isn't unheard of. Those also happen to be traits that not every character, especially protags, tend to have.

But more than that, frankly, I for one don't like so many characters having similar designs, especially when legacy characters lose some of their, well, character. I look at Simon and regardless whether it's barbarian armor or knightly armor, I see a strong, noble-hearted man who doesn't even lash out in any fashion at lying villagers shit-talking him to his face. Runway model Simon just doesn't do it for me though it'd be nice to have a game with exactly that, I wish the series played more with a modern setting, Aria did fuck all with besides some comparatively useless guns.

I'd unironically like mooks, bosses, and even settings from more places than just Europe and Japan. Like, we probably already get some of that, but whatever.

>> No.7083957

I don't think anyone ever cared about Alucard being the way he is, just that Ayami Kojima only draws Alucard in different outfits and calls it a new character. The English dub of SotN deserves way more credit than it gets for being one of the only localizations I've seen that gets the bishounen trope right with the English casting, giving him a really deep voice.

But it really doesn't. People didn't go around daily life in the 1700s looking like Alucard unless they were royalty or near to.
