The series doesn't start or end with Dante, he is somewhere in the middle of more enjoyable characters with better back stories.
There are two main characters of the series being lady and the rabbit, and they get a separate episode explaining their back stories but Dante doesn't get the privilege of being the Dante from games, in the series yes easily outwitted and often defeated by the lead characters. Where these two lead characters get most of the screen time and meaty dialogues and scenes.
The series is enjoyable to watch, thought the episodes could be brought down to 20 minutes an episode, which most of the time exceed even 30 minutes, that doesn't make the episodes look chrisp. That takes away most of what was most enjoyable about the games, the series is not action driven or stunt driven. And really seems like its own thing but that is not what we usually expect with Devil May cry.
Action is okay and there was nothing new about it. It really doesn't feel like Devil May cry, is what is so off about the series.
The series introduces one of the most prominent characters of the games in the last scene, and again it wasn't about Dante at all.
The best part about the series is the antagonist.
Steal: the antagonist, his back story and his introductory scene is outstanding.
