Castlevania: Nocturne, produced by Powerhouse Animation Studios, continues the legacy of the franchise with a new storyline featuring the Belmont family's demon-hunting descendants. Set during the French Revolution, the series presents a narrative of vampires seeking to instigate a revolt. The creative team, including directors Adam and Sam Deats, aimed to enhance character designs to reflect emotional journeys. The production involved numerous animators, necessitating adjustments for stylistic cohesiveness, while drawing influence from notable works such as Berserk.
"When we started working on Nocturne, we wanted to bring it a touch of elegance to tie it into some of the French backdrop, but at the same time refine certain things."
"It takes hundreds of different animators working on the show to make it happen. Different people would translate that style in different ways and we found that we needed to make a few adjustments to try to refine our approach."
