Castlevania netflix — **5. Castlevania —** Castlevania is an anime series on Netflix, based on the video game series of the same name. **The plot is heavily inspired by Castlevania 3, a classic from the NES era, and revolves around Trevor Belmont.** He sets out to kill the evil vampire Count Dracula, together with a mage and the half-vampire Alucard, son of Count Dracula himself. Incredibly exciting and absolutely recommended!. (Credit: Netflix)

Dmc anime — **4. Devil May Cry —** I'm sorry, the Devil May Cry anime series is from 2007? Wow, how time flies. This series was the only way for me to experience anything from Devil May Cry, because I couldn't play the games back then. **For me, it's still absolutely worth watching to this day, so check it out yourself!** (Credit: Capcom)

Scott pilgrim the animation — **3. Scott Pilgrim VS The Animation —** Okay, I have to admit that I cheated a bit with this series. Actually, Scott Pilgrim first appeared as a comic book. Then there was a video game, and at some point the terrific movie Scott Pilgrim VS The World. **In addition to the movie, there was an animated series that came out and told Scott's backstory.** Anything with Scott Pilgrim in it is automatically gold.

Pokemon serie — **2. Pokémon —** Well, you probably didn't expect that, did you? Even if you didn't always realize it when you grew up with the Pokémon series, **it was of course based on a video game!** And it still holds a special place in my heart to this day. (Credit: Amazon)

Witcher netflix — **1. The Witcher —** This will surprise very few people. The Netflix series for The Witcher is simply awesome. While it's mostly based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, **what truly inspired the series was the huge popularity of CDPR's Witcher 3**. Henry Cavil, who plays Geralt, is also an avid gamer and a huge fan of the series. (Credit: Netflix)
