Kambole Campbell AV Club 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. Rated: B- Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com A gleefully violent, high-octane action adaptation with a punk edge. Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Samuel Leggett Jr. JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS 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! Rated: 10/10 May 19, 2025 Full Review Rafael Motamayor IGN Movies Devil May Cry is a fun, if predictable, video game adaptation that boasts one of the best animated episodes of the year so far. Rated: 8/10 May 3, 2025 Full Review Lyra Hale Fangirlish 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. Rated: A+ Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Brett Cardaro CBR 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.

Luke R I don't think the creators knew what they was actually making, it seems like they guessed for all of it and then inputted super American things like their take on Lady making her insufferable in attitude, butchering what's already a great strong female character, getting the tone wrong completely, getting the story wrong completely and the worst crime of all, blatantly knowing nothing about Devil May Cry before making the show. Stay clear of this one if your a devil may cry fan if your not, know devil may cry is 1000% better than this Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review A_hawt _ Enjoyed it but not a lot, reasons? Here, Lady's character's assassination, I love my girl Lady/Mary but why is she so insufferable here? Nonstop cursing too?? Not that im complaining(I am) but the cursing at too unnecessary, her and her team are so unprofessional its so hair pulling. Not a single one, not even Mary are acting like real soldiers or maybe my expectation are too high?? Idk. 2nd missed of every theme of dmc, well kind of. Devil may cry's theme is about humanity and hope, years ago, Sparda is the hope for humanities existence and safety due to his uniqueness and rebel against demons, making him special. He also saw humanity/something positive in humanity that he choose to protect them not slaying, he didn't got a 2nd thought cause it was too damn evil for him, no. He faught cause he saw something in humanity making him protect them. 3rd why are there Good demons, these would immediately kill and throw off Sparda's existence cause the reason Sparda stood out the most from other demons is cause of his Goodness to humanity. 4th appearance, ngl Lady's appearance/design is Good but almost unrecognisable I thought she was some random and I though Dante would get a closer look of his DMC3 hair 5th Dante. Why is he making mom jokes, I know and everyone else for sure knows why he would definitely not make mama jokes, his uncertainty to do things is so irritating, hes cocky and would say things he wants to say w confidence, ik its an adaption but its not good written or a good one too Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Alessandro M Péssimo, horrível não consegui assistir o episodio 01 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Hanning W netflix just don't know how to write cool characters Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Islam H Honestly I enjoyed it, thought it would be much worse. Like Dante as a character, the music - the story and art style are meh. At least we have a DMC anime! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Joe H It feels like the writers were given a vague description of Devil May Cry but never actually experienced it. Every aspect, story, characters, and tone is fundamentally wrong. With 24 years of rich lore, you'd think they would have drawn from something, anything from it, but instead, they’ve crafted a hollow imitation that ignores the very essence of the franchise. Fans looking for a faithful adaptation will find nothing familiar here, only a wasted opportunity. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
