Devil May Cry: The Animated Series

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.

Obviously the guy who commented before doesn't know a thing about the games. Devil May Cry Anime is exactly what its suppose to be, cool, sleek and"Stylish." Those who have played all the games know that Dante calmed down quite abit after he defeated Mundus. This is the Dante displayed in the anime. The reason he hasn't had to struggle or use his DT (Devil Trigger) is because none of the devils he's fought have been worthy. There have only been 8 episodes. I say give it around 15 and he might DT:)I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone who is truly a fan of the games or manga(comics).I also feel that people who have more adult senses of humor o like animes that aren't cliché will like this series as well, and the anime style is dark and gritty. I give it a ten

Let me first say that the Devil May Cry Anime did not come out how I expected, though that is not necessarily a bad thing. I started out with VERY high hopes and they took a severe blow when I saw the preview episode. Like most fans who had been waiting for something like this I was worried that Dante had turned into your typical stock type protagonist. I disliked the addition of new characters which I initially found incredibly annoying and I felt that they had chosen wrong when finding a voice actor. (I think I am one of the few who was not perturbed by the lack of fight scenes).

All I can say is that I was wrong. The first few episodes followed a similar pattern, but a main plot began to emerge towards the second half of the series and the character development was nice. It was wonderful to see the return of old characters and interesting to see how Dante would interact with humans (the guitar case as a sheath for Rebellion was a nice touch).

Tha animation was beautiful and I loved the character design. The OST is awesome and the characters who I loathed in the first episode grew on me as did Dante's new personality.

My advice is if you're a die-hard fan you have to take the anime with a pinch of salt. Yes it's not perfect and there are many things they could have done to make it better, but it also has so many good qualities which you will over-look pointing out the bad things. Watch it with an open mind and be prepared for a light-hearted (though it does have its dark points) piece of good entertainment staring your favourite Demon Slayer.

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
