Devil May Cry

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.

Hi there, I was absolutely awaiting this new "devil may cry" with eyes transfixed...

Someone has mistaken Dante for some kind of clown with jokes, stupid smiles and selfie positions. It s unbearable. (kind of marvel style with Iron Man, Thor, Spiderman.human torch in Fantastic Four, etc..etc..) The animation is amazing, incredible and some twists of action, like Lady using a truck as a ramp to throw herself to a building are unique.- The fights are more than correct but SURPRISINGLY there s no THAT much different with de 2007 Devil May Cry fights. The argument was predicibly "original"; no mind bending twists.

At the end of the day....amazing animation and hmph....

It's feels like a sidestory of Devil May Cry or even a Devil May Cry in another universe, its just doesnt feels like devil may cry at all. Like how can you do Devil May Cry adaptation but dante feels like a side character.

Lady / Mary is the worst character here for me, constantly swear out of nowhere, twisted and weird logic, a weak character logicaly but pushing to be awesome.

But on the otherhand we got a downgraded dante that always lose to the main, a weird power level of the entirety.

The best one is the villain aka Rabbit, damn good character, back story, love everything about him.

The ending scene is good old catchprase and ost, i will watch it if it have ever s2 but wont expect much.

A very amusing anime worth watching for a dmc fan or a regular anime watcher. The action scenes are eye catching, dante is truly a badass and the edgy nu-metal soundtrack is amazing! But i do got some complaints.. The story and plot is kinda generic and not that revolutionary, it's entertaining but nothing special. They've also managed to ruin lady, not completely but definitely ruined her a lot as a character. Mary or lady is a lot more edgy compared to the games. Sure it's fine to swear but is it really necessary to say the f word in every sentence imaginable?? It's giving dmc remake all over again but with lady. Dante is definitely what makes this series worth watching, they nailed him as a character but sadly not lady.. Also the cgi looks a bit goofy at times, you can definitely look past that tho. If i wasn't a dmc fan this review would've probably gotten a 6/10.

I've played most of the DMC games and I remember playing mostly as Dante. Dante is maybe 40% of the shows focus, with the majority of the rest being on the Lady. She's terribly written and portrayed as more powerful and competent than Dante across the board. Then we have the demons; half misunderstood coming into the earth realm to find a better life, wonder what that's supposed to represent? With humans being painted as the bad guys. The other half of the demans, the evil ones, can barely keep up with a human, so what's the point of Dante.

The animation is ok and the soundtrack is fun, and when the show focuses on Dante it's enjoyable. This should have been a fun take on an iconic action game, but it only manages the live up to that for a small portion of the show.
