Season 3 is more than just about Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard. But a continuation of their lives after the great battle last season. Now it's more about who they are, and the paths they create, finding themselves, and or losing oneself.

The writing expresses so much, each character feels alive. From heroes to villains, they all have a story, or emerging from within, a hidden darkness, to an unknown destiny. There are so many fascinating layers, some emerge from a moment, to a defining action that alters their personality altogether.

The voice talents.. so many to name, but each performance is phenomenal. From charismatic, to driven, broken, internal conflict, and unknown anger and release. There are calm, to powerful, romantic, and disturbing. It is literally an emotional rollercoaster, but worth the ride.

Ten episodes, but with so much depth, action, suspense, drama, horror, and romance, to unexpected darker themed territory. It explores the universe without Dracula, yet there is so much more than what's on the surface. From a time traveller, to a forgemasters journey & philosophical discussion with man & beast. It is more than vampires alone, but a vast world with so much to explore. Including Trevor & Sypha's relationship, and how they cope with supernatural entities, and their bond together, no matter what they face along the way. To Alucard's isolation, connect to hunters in training, and something sinister.

Season 3 redefines the series on so many levels, it is a must watch because it is an incredible experience. With stunning animation, music, storytelling, voice talents, it can be best summed up as a unique series. No longer just based on a classic game series, but a dynamic action / drama / horror / supernatural journey that must be experienced with your heart and mind as one.
