Devil May Cry: Debiru mei kurai

At First like all of you I came up with the game series of it....and for further excitement I cam upon the anime series....Main theme as a devil hunter it is same as game but it shows us that getting carried away by our work, is not a good thing at all. There is no necessary to be practical at all time, you could just help your emotions may come out......so for the sake of eternity wherever and whoever you are, just listen to your heart's content.....it always brings benefit to you

The Anime may be not much like the other great anime's in the world but it is one of a kind....and some episode are really great.

It would be great if you prefer the positive sides of it more than negatives then it would cause you better result........

thanks for paying your time, i am honored to represent you my look over it

Coming hot off the trail of watching the new Netflix Devil May Cry series I watched the original Anime series from 2007 and it is truly a night and day comparison. I do not know what they were thinking but the 2007 one dwarfs the 2025 one. It's night and day for the most part. First off they got the original voice actor for Dante in the 2007 series that's in the games from DMC3 onwards. Next each episode starts off by saying "Mission" and the number next to it for each episode which simply out the gate makes you feel a direct correlation to the games. Then there's the way Dante talks and acts. He's a suave dude and cool as a cucumber and pretty passive. The Netflix version in comparison made him into this quip machine that would have made Spider-Man jealous and then there was the sub characters like Lady and Trish who just simply felt and looked like their gaming counterparts whereas in the Netflix series Lady was some kind of war veteran with a full body armored suit for some reason and whiffing of girl boss emasculating all of her male colleagues on the field of battle. Lastly the 2007 series felt more like DMC because of how each episode was structured. Every episode started off with a job being called in or brought to Dante's attention to take on as a contract so his broke ass could get some money for his pizza addiction. Then it progressively gets deeper as the series goes on and culminates to a huge 2 part finale. Overall if anyone is a fan of the games then this is the series for you as the Netflix one is all flash and no substance for the most part with only a mere mild understanding of the characters and reworking a little too much for the liking.

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

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.
