Devil may cry: The animated series

Devil may cry, one of my favourite action games from cacpom. However, today i am not gonna talk about anything related to games. Dont worry, its still devilmaycry, but its the anime! A total of 12 episodes, mainly for fan-service. The animated series i would say, are for those who cant get enough of demon-slaying in just the devilmaycry games. In the anime, its kind of similar to the plot in the games, demon-slaying! Bloodshed is obviously unavoidable, awakening of cool-ass demons and of course the greatness of Dante! This anime is released in 2007, before the released of devilmaycry 4, so do not expect Nero to be in it. This anime i would say, 75% demon-slaying and 25% story. So do not look too forward that this devilmaycry would provide a intensive plot that would mindfucked you.

My rating : 6.5/10

The main character everyone would expect, is obviously Dante! For those who might not know who he is, dante is half-human, half-demon. His father is the legendary dark knight, Sparda (demon), while his mom is a human. In the anime, dante is a private investigator, always lying around in his office and taking up jobs regarding demons. These jobs were of course easily taken care of by dante, earning him a reputation in dealing with the supernatural. Although dante cleared many of these jobs, his debts just keep increasing, being the fact that properties are destroyed when carrying out his job which also leaves dante being poor throughout the whole anime. Some unique features of dante is also revealed in the show, like being fond of strawberry sundaes and pizza's without olives.

You can expect demon-slaying in almost every episode. Characters previously present in the games, would also appear in the show (Trish, Lady etc.). This show is good at some points (cool-ass action, girls fights and story twist etc.) but it still does have its flaws.

1. Dante is way overpowered, to the fact that ANY demons he encounters would be killed in less than a minute. All either being killed by 1 slash from his sword or the rampaging of his pistols. Demons died way too fast, kind of spoiling the intense atmosphere.

2. Some parts where you would expect a great fight, and the whole scene just got cut off and dante is seen back to his office, completing the job. A total turnoff!

A average anime to me. I would not say its real good or it sucks big time, its still okay to me. Opening music would be D.M.C by rungran. I think its cool, sounds great for a devilmaycry anime! I did not download it though but i will still put the download link here. Its only a 1-2 minute music, so dont expect it to be the same length as a song.
