*Toonami reviewed Bloodstained: comicbook.com/gaming/2019/08/11/toonami-bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night-review/. It got an 8.5 out of 10, with the hosts noting "It's not quite Castlevania, but it's a fitting tribute." Toonami, if you aren't familiar with it, is a long-running TV programming block in the U.S. specializing in anime and/or action cartoons that was briefly cancelled in the mid-2000s before relaunching. At the height of its popularity in the late 90s/early 2000s, it was instrumental in making Dragon Ball Z (and anime in general) relevant in the U.S. Based on their history with multimedia and pop culture (being way ahead of the curve in promoting streaming, obscure music, games, and anime), I felt that they might review Bloodstained, and sure enough, they finally did.

And thus now we have Steve Blum commenting on a game with David Hayter in it. All we need now is a Kevin Conroy moment and we'll have peak growly VA.

Frankly I'd say it is quite Castlevania (unnoficially) but whatever.

Interesting. This was before 505 was in the picture, I think. Probably Deep Silver involved. We won't know for sure without prying a little deeper.
