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

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 Welter R @WelterR Jan 12 Good Animation but did not care very much for the story. See more Zeno o @ZenoTheOneWinged Jan 8 They bastardized DMC. Another sacrifice on the altar of woke creative bankruptcy. See more Celia Jan 4 Another Woke shit destroying our memorable games/movies. See more Lucien D @Sudnero Jan 1 Honestly, it's fine, i was able to enjoy it, because it doesn't take itself seriously, has a Dante that acts like Dante, has probably some of the best animation i have ever seen, and, unlike a certain game, overall just feels like DMC, and probably serves as a great entry point into the series. Though, i understand why fans of the series do not like this, as they ruined some of the characters (looking at you Lady), and the story is political commentary, even though no game in the series ever had substantial political commentary, not even the reboot, it's story was social commentary (and a pretty basic one at that) See more Read all reviews
