Devil May Cry: Debiru mei kurai

I watched it before Netflix DMC and liked it.

There is nice music. Dante's appearance is cooler than usual. There are nice action scenes. I really liked it. I think it should be watched but each episode has a different mission. The connection was very bad.

I liked the little girl story, there was a reference in the game. My Future Wife Lady was very, very good. Of course Netflix did a better job but this series is more faithful to the original story. I don't know why but people want to see Vergil. But the battle his father had with his former student was good. I liked it. Watch this beautiful anime and make others watch it, 12 episodes btw.

Before I say anything else about this series I will point out that this is my introduction to 'Devil May Cry'; I've not played the games so had no preconceived ideas about what the characters should be like or the tone of the show.

This anime series is centred on Dante, a half-human/half-demon who runs an agency called 'Devil May Cry'. His jobs typically involve killing devils; a task he is highly skilled at thanks to his abilities with swords and guns. Unfortunately the pay isn't great so he is usually in debt. After the events of the first episode he ends up effectively adopting a girl. Other key characters are JD Morrison, a friend who finds jobs for Dante; Trish and Lady, who are also demon hunters and a Demon named Sid who may be more dangerous than he initially appears. Over the course of the series Dante takes on a number of demons in a number of locations.

Watching this I wouldn't have guessed it was based on a fighting game... there is a decent amount of action but far more time is given to interaction between the characters. I thought the character development throughout the series was pretty good and the central characters were likable. Most episodes feature stand-alone stories but plot lines introduced at the start of the series resurface in the final two episodes. The action scenes are suitably exciting and are a bit bloody but not excessively so. The character designs are distinctive and the animation is of a good quality. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the genre; I certainly enjoyed it more than I expected.

I love DeviL may Cry! The games are my favorite all time series, I love the books, I love everything about the universe! I have only seen episode 1 of this and from that episode it appears the story and style of the anime follows the Devil May Cry Novel by Shin-Ya Goikeda which is a GREAT thing! The story in the games are great but in the novel is where it truly shines and the real Dante emerges. As soon as Dante is first shown in the episode and he asks for a Strawberry Sundae I smiled. Anyone who has read the book knows that thats his favorite and seeing that in the anime was just killer. The dialog and story seems very Devil May Cry-ish. Not like the story in the games, definitely like in the novel. I truly recommend watching this anime its great especially for everyone who has read the novel. My only complaint from episode 1 is that in the beginning instead of Dante saying his tradition "Jackpot!" line he as "Bingo!" and it really made me sick. I was hoping he would say Jackpot.

I can't wait for the series to hit the states in English so I can watch it all :D

As a huge fan of the games I felt like I was reading a bad movie adaptation of a book. There is maybe only one moment during the entire series when you feel like Dante is in any kind of danger, and without that there is just very little excitement. Even in what are supposed to be his hardest battles he never seems to be in danger, which knowing his background from the games is what you'd expect, but didn't make for a very exciting show. There are also many key elements lacking from the game such as his Devil Trigger, and gaining and using new weapons. The only reason I gave this a 5 was because it captured Dantes character very well and also had some excellent animation elements to it. If they continue this series I would hope the writers would play the games through and try to match what they see there.

I haven't played any of the Devil may cry games but I've always wanted to. I have a feeling this series is more faithful to the source material than the Netflix one. I like both versions of Dante with the Netflix one being more ADHD while the original series is more grounded.

I like the female characters more in this series more too. Yes they're drawn way more scantily but atleast they have more of a personality than tough chick. I also like that the women are given a chance to prove how badass they are in this show.

I think this show is way more grounded, less preachy, has the right amount of gory action a series like this should have, and I miss animation like this.
