Media site Collider recently spoke to producer producer Adi Shankar (Dredd, Power/Rangers), and the subject of a 'hard-hitting anime' mini-series based on 1989's Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse came up. Shankar describes the project from animation studio Frederator (Adventure Time, The Fairly OddParents): "there will be a lot. The goal is to bring hard hitting anime to the America and be America's first animated series for adults."

Shankar says inspirations include Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll and Young Justice. The music will use the "heavy metal electro guitar vibe found in the early games,"
