Best movie of this year hands down!

Boring, long, and too preachy.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Devil May Cry is a 12 episode series of animated episodes based on the PS2 Capcom Video game Devil May Cry and the Manga volumes. The Animated Series follows the main playable character of the Video Game, Dante as he works in his demon killing business, Devil May Cry. Dante (voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa in Japanese) is a half-demon, Half human. whose father, Sparda, a legendary Dark Knight, saved the earth from demons many years ago. His mother, Eva's picture stands on Dante's desk in Devil May Cry in memorial. Dante works as a Private investigator,mostly accepting jobs involving the supernatural. although, throughout the series, Dante is in financial debt, and the money from his work goes to pay off that consistent debt. Devil May Cry also sees the return of series regulars, Trish and Lady. Trish, who makes her first appearance in the first game is a human-like demon created by Lord Mundus in Dante's Mother's image, she has demonic powers, such as electricity. after, Dante defeated Mundus, Trish joined Dante as his partner. Lady, who makes her first appearance in the third game is a female demon hunter, who is descended from the bloodline of a priestess, whose blood, Sparta used to seal the gate between the human and demon world. she often gives Dante work and takes the pay claiming it will go towards the debt he owes her. Two new additions to the series are Patty, an orphan girl, who Dante saves in the first episode, and spend her time cleaning Devil May Cry after Dante, and acts like his sister. the other addition is Morrison,Dante's Agent. who gives Dante work and helps out with repairs around the office. at first the series seems to just be Dante taking missions,and winning, but something more sinister is happening in the background. this is where the last main character comes in. Sid, A weak demon who first appears in episode one, and continues to appear throughout the series. Initially seems to be an insignificant danger and minor nuisance, Dante shows mercy towards Sid and restrains from killing him when given the opportunity. Unfortunately, Sid's ambitions prove to be far more dangerous than Dante possibly imagined. The order of the full series chronologically i believe is DMC 3 followed by the first DMC then the Anime then DMC 4 and lastly DMC 2, this is because By the anime Dante has met both Lady and Trish, but Lady and Trish don't know each other, and they meet and become friends during the anime, and I believe in the 4th game Trish and Lady make an appearance together(having not played the game I'm not sure) then the 2nd game comes last.From the Animation team that brought you Deathnote, with amazing music By Japanese singer Rin Oikawa and Rungran. Devil May Cry combines bloody action, and Emotional moments, although I hoped there would be more, showing more of Dante's vulnerability towards his mother,and showing that although Dante seems to be a man with no cares, there's is something hidden in his tough exterior, although there is one episode that does go into Dante's past, and another where a demon falls in love with a human, both episodes, and others do reference Dante's parents and past, but I'd Like to be more. despite some minor flaws, in this Reviewers opinion, Devil May Cry is a must see.

If all anime were like this I would own probably just a few. Devil May Cry is one if not the best Video Game adapted anime's I've seen. I have seen others but this takes the cake. The story while not grounded is fairly easy to grasp and can be taken in for its own right. The animation is beautiful as it treats every detail, character and weapon with care. The voice acting is superb with the same voice actor from the third and fourth game as Dante and others making it a wonderful experience. I did think it was short but I got so much out of it.The best part for me is the opening for the first episode. Just awesome for all the fans and newcomers. I own it on DVD and love to watch it. The most frustrating moment for me is the Devil Trigger part in the final episode it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. Major fans of the games cut this demon slayer some slack.

After having seen 4 episodes of "Devil May Cry" anime i have to say that this anime is not what I hoped for!! I did not expect much from a show based on a computer game but this is just awful! The slickness and coolness from the games is gone! From what I have seen the anime features some of the characters from the game but also put in new ones! Dante seems to be babysitting this little girl who appeared in the first episode and since then never left! And Dante himself is not the same character we know from the games! I am not sure how much the creators of the game are involved in this! But in this anime they are trying to do something different! The games were all about action and style and even had substance! In the anime the action is very average and it doesn't show an ounce of quality that the far superior cut scenes from the games do have! I am not going to talk about plot because there is none! There is no connection between this anime and the stories from the games! It makes me wonder why this anime has been made! All the fun,the stylish action and the ultra cool Dante are nowhere to be found in this anime! Avoid this!

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
