If you don’t yet own Netflix’s Castlevania animated series on Blu-ray, there’s never been a better time to start your collection or complete your set. For Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has dropped the price of Castlevania: Seasons 1 & 2 box set to only $12.59. To get this lowest-ever deal, make sure to click the coupon box on the listing to slash an additional $6.30 off the price.
The Blu-rays for Seasons 3 and 4 aren’t as cheap, but you can still get them for at least 33% off–and Season 3 is eligible for Amazon’s buy two, get one free Blu-ray sale. You can use your savings on the original series to snag Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1, which releases on Blu-ray on October 8 and is also steeply discounted.
Netflix’s Castlevania Animated Series on Blu-ray
In case you missed it when it first aired, Castlevania follows vampire hunter Trevor Belmont, powerful witch Sypha, and Alucard as they take on Dracula and his demonic armies. The second half of the show focuses on a coven of vampires looking to create their own undead kingdom, as well as the foul-mouthed Grim Reaper himself (this might just be Malcolm McDowell’s best role ever).
As you’d expect, the show is violent and has beautifully animated action scenes, as well as banter sharper than a razor blade during some of the more quiet scenes. For the extras, you’ll get behind-the-scenes videos, voice actor interviews, storyboards, art galleries, and more spread across these box sets.
Beyond the stellar discounts for Prime Big Deal Days, there’s another reason why it’s a great time to pick up and watch (or rewatch) Castlevania. Two reasons, in fact. As mentioned, Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1 arrives on Blu-ray very soon, as in tomorrow, October 8. Amazon has an awesome deal on the Blu-ray, dropping the price from $40 all the way down to $24.
Set hundreds of years after the original Castlevania animated series, Nocturne Season 1 followed Richter Belmont and took inspiration from the 1993 PC Engine game Rondo of Blood, which some fans may know better by a different name. Rondo of Blood was exclusive to Japan at launch; Konami brought the story to North America on Super Nintendo as Castlevania: Dracula X.
Netflix recently teased Season 2 of Nocturne, which will debut in January and is inspired by the classic original PlayStation game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the direct sequel of Rondo of Blood.
