I know very little about Castelvania: Hymn of Blood–I’ve only watched the first few episodes of it myself–but I’m a dork for anything Castlevania related. On top of that, it’s got Marina Sirtis and Michael Dorn. If Patrick Stewart shows up somewhere–which actually wouldn’t be unthinkable, given that he’s in the LoS games–my geeky head will geeksplode.
It’s got a fair bit of cheese, but if you can get past that, it seems like it could be fun.

This seems really well-made for a fan series.
That was my thought too. I’m not far enough in to have a definitive opinion yet, but it seems pretty impressive, considering.
All hail Patrick Stewart :0)
Seriously.
