Devil May Cry

Badass half-human half-devil? That's Dante your talking about. Devil May Cry made its name first on games. Its really popular on game consoles, because a hack and slash game that's so detailed like DMC doesn't come quite often. And in 2007 they made an anime adaptation of it.


Story : 8
First of all, if you have no idea what Devil May Cry is. Its the name of a shop that Dante owns, a half-human half-devil who specializes on doing missions concerning devils. The story does not much differ from the game, Dante is still running his shop. But this time, he started helping a little girl named Patty. Who ends up staying at his shop. It doesn't really focus on Patty though. Every episode he completes different missions. The last two episodes are the longest mission he'll be doing.


Art : 8
Art was great, the series was aired in 2007. And I'd say that it has better art than most of the 2007's animes. Well they did use a lot of CG's on it, since it has quite a lot action scenes.


Character : 8
Dante is your badass devil hunter, he has two handy dandy guns named Ebony and Ivory. And the sword Rebellion, which Sparda his father gave him. I kinda hoped that more characters from the game were used. Too bad some of the more badass characters in the game weren't shown on the series. But! Two of the supporting characters at the game were shown, Lady and Trish. Lady is a human devil hunter like Dante, and Trish is Dante's old partner at the shop. And the new characters shown on the series were pretty quite good too. Patty is your resident loli maid that lives in the shop. She's too damn cute.


Music : 7
Not much to mention on music. The ending theme is quite good though. The opening theme is just instrumentals, I didn't bother listening to it though.


Enjoyment : 8
The series is short; so I quite enjoyed it myself, since I've been a fan of DMC ever since I've played it. If you loved the game, this definitely won't waste your time.


Overall : 8
Overall, the animation didn't quite hit like the game. But for me? It was worth my time, many games that were adapted to anime suck real bad. But DMC is quite OK for me though. I might be biased since I loved the game. But anyway, all in all you wouldn't enjoy this series if you haven't played any of the games. Since the series didn't bother telling who or what is Dante, and you surely want to know how DMC started. And its a must to know who Dante is, there's more to him than being a badass devil hunter. You'd love to know his history more. I highly recommend playing any DMC games or googling it if you don't have the time to play any of it. JACKPOT.

I love the game version of this anime.. and I love this anime too :D

i'm not a gamer..but i love the anime...xD
