mergatroid-1 I just read a review from an Uber fanboy. Man, those people shouldn't be allowed to do reviews.I am a fan of anime, but not a nutjob about it as some people are. Apparently there were a series of DMC video games. I never played any of them. I didn't collect the dolls (oh, sorry, "action figures"), nor any of the other crud they try and make money from.I picked up the DMS compete animated series on Blu-ray. It's smarter than most anime series. It doesn't preach as some anime does. The action is pretty cool, and the voice actors do a pretty good job. This is a type of "demon hunter" story, although a little different than most.This is not a 10 out of 10 as the fanboy would have us believe. I give it a solid 7. I enjoyed watching it and would recommend it to other fans of animation.

teztiment 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

mlanevic 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

zeil9523 Franchise- it ruins a lot of things...So I was recently shown this by a friend- having been a fan of Dante since the first Devil May Cry game I was deeply intrigued. I've been holding my breath for a movie for over a year now and I have to admit I am a little bit of a sucker for the franchise- so I am biased. But I must say all and all the anime is not that bad- not at all actually.The only problem I can see with it is that it is attached to such a large franchise and a lot of people go in with very different and very definite views on how the characters should be portrayed and what they should act like. Also this seems to be set after the first DMC movie, rather than the third- which I think throws a lot of people as well. The third game happens to be a prequel to the first and portrays Dante as being very cocky and sarcastic (think demonic teenager). The first sets Dante a more of a brooding protagonist and the anime has him as an odd mixture of the two.Now although its not anything groundbreaking, I think people need to except it for what it is- a beautiful addition in the franchise and a fun way to spend a few hours. If you want something deep and meaningful, there are many other anime titles to choose from- also as far as anime titles go you can also do a lot worse... Ninja Resurrection for one...
