The First Circle

I was not expecting that at all. Wow. I thought the show was good so far, nothing special, just a demon slasher with an OP / comic relief main character. Had its pegged as a low 7/10. Something to watch that was good but not memorable. This turned everything around. Iv never played the games so I can't speak on the lord of the show but man this was solid. Netflix are cooking lately.

This episode was amazing. Few words spoken but the back story was incredible. Now I don't know who to root for. Who are the real devils in the story? It's like Attack on Titan all over again, there's no right answer.

First episode Iv rated as well, definitely well worth the watch.

Episode 6 took me by complete surprise-this was peak cinema. The depth and emotion added here completely elevated the entire series. I initially saw Devil May Cry as more of a fun, easy watch, something to relax to. But this episode changed that entirely. The character development, storytelling, and atmosphere were all on a different level. It made me realize there's so much more to this show than I first thought. The stakes feel higher now, the world more immersive, and I'm fully invested. This was the turning point. The art style was amazing, and the no talking, only music part really hit well. 10/10.

As soon as the episode started you could feel how different it was from the other 5 previous. Let me just say it was simply beautiful. The raw emotion and atmosphere that was shown and delivered was breathtaking and inspiring to a point. Not only did the art style improve and used color to enhance the overall aesthetic and emotion, but it also took a different approach and changed art-style for certain scenes and characters. The story really shows that there's no right or wrong against demons and humans and their both evil in their on way. Eventually showing the viewer that we reap what we sow.

The last two episodes started out being average, until we finally got an episode that was totally out of the ordinary, so yes it was quick but it was superbly well done with the incredible music that embellished the whole episode.

The black and white side was really a good idea for staging with a bit of color for the rest, it was really this kind of episode that I was really looking forward to because it is simply generally the best

No spoilers - just sharing how this episode made me feel ,This anime moved me deeply. I haven't watched any anime in a long time, but this episode made me feel truly sad. The art style-there are two distinct styles-was really impressive. The emotional weight of the story and the atmosphere completely pulled me in. The antagonist was written in such a way that I found myself understanding his actions. Everything from the pacing to the dialogue felt purposeful. It's rare to find an episode that leaves this kind of impact. Honestly, this was a beautiful and powerful experience that reminded me why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place.
