The biggest fight in Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 lasts an entire episode. It's almost exhausting to watch, so stuffed with over-the-top animation that you could put it on repeat for hours and still catch new details each time. That action blowout is the most exciting part of an uneven season, but the moment I keep thinking about actually came a few episodes earlier. It's lighter on action, but still the most violent moment of a show that features frequent beheadings and fountains of blood. You'll know it when you get there—which Castlevania animation directors Sam & Adam Deats credit to animator Tam Lu.
"Our top tier, best animators here in the US take on the most important stuff, and some animators will come to us with thoughts on how to spice the shot or sequence up," Adam Deats said in an interview with PC Gamer. "Sometimes they're just nuts and do their own thing with it."
