Does the dog die?

Castlevania: Nocturne
TV Show • 2023 • Horror
ReportIn the thick of the French Revolution, members of the so-called lower classes are rising up to fight inequality. Meanwhile, Richter Belmont senses a far grimmer and greater danger. He's picked up his family's long-held tradition of vampire hunting, a vocation that goes back almost as long as a vampiric life span (in other words, forever) but he's never seen anything quite like what he's witnessing now.

If you have ommetaphobia (fear of eyes) there are a few scenes where there are closeups of a characters intense facial expression, with large, often bulging eyes.
Similar to the anime trope where a character is about to go insane, and they have this fish-eye perspective. That's used in this show as well.
In episode 1, season 1 it's Richter as a child.
In episode 2, season 1 it's Tera's sister as she is tied up.
Somewhere in the final episodes of season 1 it's a vampire.

First episode:
- brief fireworks in the beginning
- when a vampire is lit on fire. It's very bright.
- there is a Lot especially in the beginning, most magics: Fire, Lightning, etc all have some very flashy, strobing effects to them.
- I would highly reccomend watching in a brightly lit room, or during the day time.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 2
Technically the first death happens in a flashback but in episode two a prominent Black character died in a way that certainly felt evocative of this trope to me. This person was newly introduced and died suddenly and unceremoniously before we got to spend much time with them. This death isn’t brushed off nor is it the end of that character’s presence in the series but I’d definitely say it qualifies.

It’s the Castlevania anime so the church is very present and very evil. A lot of it was hard for me to listen to, priests invoking religion to demonize anyone they disagree with or don’t understand while at the same time using their religion to justify truly horrific actions. These people are presented as the villains they are but it does feel very real so if you have religious trauma beware it may be rough for you.
