This anime is truly captivating how it all wrapped up in the end. The artwork was very nice and it's a very enjoyable show to watch. I believe if you enjoyed the game or even the manga, you would really enjoy this anime. Especially Dante's quick and funny sayings. "Jackpot!"

SEASON 1
An excellent anime that ties in well with the video game series. Each episode contains it's own plot so it may seem like there is no overarching story, but it all comes together in the end. The animation is excellent and, regardless of whether you watch the Japanese of English dub, the voice acting is great. It's also very action packed and introduces new characters to stand alongside the characters from the games. I recommend this to any fan of the game series that enjoy good anime.

SEASON 1
The animation style is fantastic and perfectly captures how you would imagine the universe would be in an anime format. Unfortunately the anime series does not capture the intense feeling that you get when playing one of the games bosses on a reasonable difficulty. Dante seems totally unmatched by every enemy which leads to very anti-climatic fights... One or two slashes and a few bullets seems to do the trick with everything. Characters are good in the most part, my personal favourite being the Sid. Sid is a lesser demon who pops up all over the place causing chaos and destruction to the city. The ladies of the anime series Trish and Lady are in my opinion the best characters as they provide great "ports" from the games. The new character Patty is refreshing due to her constant digs at Dante's habits and traits which is a far cry to the enemies of the anime series that couldn't even bother to pick on him. The story lacked a true villain such as the likes of Vergil or Mundus who never appeared or got a mention in the series which felt was a shame, given their strong dominating personalities. Overall, without spoilers the story didn't seem to have a chronological order, you could watch any episode without having seem the others and follow the story. This could be seen as a positive to some people but for me is was overwhelming negative as I wanted to see a Devil May Cry story that could not have been seen in a game and I thought this was to much like a broken up game rather than an anime "series" indicating a flow between episodes. I would suggest watching this if you are a fan of the series to see what you think !!
