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

Gabriel T @RT72521244 4d apesar das diferenças do joigos eu gostei See more Steven S. @RT21304844 6d Not sure what everyone is complaining about the show its a new adaptation people need to get over themselves lots of TV shows do this but new adaptations are a never a truly bad thing including when it's so well put together watch it and give it a chance instead of watching 1-3 episodes and then stopping it's definitely worth the watch amazing on all fronts animations new Evanescence song just for the show itself great story telling fight scenes even better See more Noeru T @RT51939471 Jun 4 hype moments and aura See more Ernest S @RT04793679 May 30 Huge DMC fan and I’m loving the story. I see many seasons to come. See more Crying C @CryingClowd May 26 I didn't play the game, but this literally had resident evil x Arcane vibes. It had a lot of cliche of gaming genre and of tv series genre too. It was predictable, and those few unpredictable plot twists uselessly twisted the plot way too much. Plus Lady had so much screen time! I came here only for Dante. Unfortunately, she at least created some plot, while Dante just fought with demons, nothing else. His punch lines came at weird times, I was like processing the next plot twist and he suddenly went on with some joke. It would have been funny, but it just didn't fit in the intense scene. It wasn't comic relief, it was comic confusion. I was really hyped about this, but now I'm thinking of skipping season 2 and just leaving it as it is. See more Ruka K @RT37114773 May 23 NOT AN ADAPTATION It’s hard to rate the show as it market itself as „adaptation „. While it hardly have anything to do with source material at all. Shanker’s Devil May Cry , is like fanfic. If made as own independent ip, it would be bearable. Yet, it is not. Therefore I rate it in terms of adaptation. Nothing really makes sense here. Dante have moments, but overall he feels fragile, and powerless. Vergil persona changed, not cold, grinning like maniac. The opposite (Twin) perspective is gone. Lady/Mary character is the worst part of the show. Constant f-bombs for no reason, and whole (new) military plot makes me want to turn it off. The government suddenly exists. Why do we need Demon hunters then? I guess Shanker is asking the same himself. It kills the point of the plot. Overall, in terms of adaptation it’s terrible. From Gothic-Action-Fantasy we shifted to… Political commentary about modern times. Devil May Cry never was about politics, never should be. Wasted potential. See more Read all reviews
