B-
Even as it leaves any subtlety as a distant speck in its rear view mirror, Shankar’s spin on Devil May Cry is mostly a fun love letter to the qualities that made it popular as well as the sounds of the time when it emerged. Go to Full Review

A gleefully violent, high-octane action adaptation with a punk edge. Go to Full Review

As a fan of the Devil May Cry games, I'm thrilled with the new series. The action is intense, the music is metal, and it stays true to the source material. The characters are well-written, the humor is dark, and the story is beyond exciting. A Must Watch! Go to Full Review

Devil May Cry is a fun, if predictable, video game adaptation that boasts one of the best animated episodes of the year so far. Go to Full Review

Having zero knowledge of Devil May Cry, I had a great time with Netflix’s new anime of the video game franchise without feeling like I was missing out on key information. Go to Full Review

Devil May Cry has a lot of potential to be something great, as there are real strokes of genius in the action, humor, and themes present in the narrative that generally capture a lot of what makes the DMC game franchise interesting. Go to Full Review

Fiesel M @RT38916928 4d Characters are somewhat naive/cliche. SPOILERS ahead: how many times is Dante going to turn his back on Mary so she can stab him with a syringe in the neck?! We're supposed to root for a simpleton like this? And Mary is your typical "broken soldier", blindly sticking to her mission because of past trauma blah blah. I was frankly rooting for the rabbit. See more Loke T @RT09821634 5d At first I thought the show is alright, the animation's pretty good (except for the CGI part where he use DT) nice action. But the story? It was weird at first I thought it was to appeal the non DMC fan to get into the franchise but it absolutely butchered the story... The character is completely different from the game, sure it will be fine if they wanna add a twist to make the character interesting but instead we got character who wont stop cussing every minute (cussing does not makes it cool it only makes it edgy they only cuss here and there in the game), not to mention their backstory is almost the same as the game so there is element taken from the game but thats all cuz they ended up being like some fanmade OC character with no respect of the original franchise, and as a dmc fan who played the games it's like spitting in our eye. Cuz this is DMC not some basic ahh political story about how the US government is the real bad guy and dont have anything makes DMC DMC at all. See more William M @William428 Feb 27 This is the single worst adaptation I have ever seen. Dante’s character is not what he is in the game by any means. He is 100% different. Not only that, but this show breaks the lower of the game series in many different ways. It’s very obvious that the person who created this series does not know the game series very well. Possibly he watched some videos on them and decided to turn it into an anime with very little knowledge or understanding of what the games are or what they represent. This is a perfect example of what not to do when adapting a franchise. It’s extremely disrespectful to all the longtime fans. Not only that, but it is absolutely overflowing with extremist leftist, political shoehorning. See more Kenton C. @Joethebanker1992 Feb 19 Loved it until I didn’t. Turned in to garbage on a dime. Women strong, government bad, all immigration good, USA sucks, DEMONS not evil. Sucks because graphics, fight scenes, MOST of the dialogue is intelligent. They shoved a bunch of political messages in to what should have been a clean adaption of the source material. See more Bryan N @ZoloftDoesReviews Jan 19 The DMC games were not on my radar to play as a kid. I went back as adult to try these classic titles that I missed out on and played most of these games and loved the story, characters and action. I get why its such a beloved franchise and the play throughs are fresh for me. Bluntly, no, this isnt an adaptation that follows the themes of the game in a large way. Others have pointed out the glaring character changes, the environment that doesnt match the darker tones of the source material and the story being driven by a political boogie man that pushes "government bad". It's not "woke garbage" because low IQ, sweaty nerds use that as a blanket term for something they just dont like. Shoot, thats why I hated the "Halo" adaption. BUT, Dante was fun and had an infectious personality, the action and animation was quality, and the NEW story was easy to follow and I believed the conflict. Lady was hard to tolerate and it missed on the OG'S tone, but it didnt lose my attention. See more savodya r @Savodya Jan 17 Lady is not such an annoying person in Games. She makes this series worthless. See more Read all reviews
