BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

mergatroid-1 I just read a review from an Uber fanboy. Man, those people shouldn't be allowed to do reviews.I am a fan of anime, but not a nutjob about it as some people are. Apparently there were a series of DMC video games. I never played any of them. I didn't collect the dolls (oh, sorry, "action figures"), nor any of the other crud they try and make money from.I picked up the DMS compete animated series on Blu-ray. It's smarter than most anime series. It doesn't preach as some anime does. The action is pretty cool, and the voice actors do a pretty good job. This is a type of "demon hunter" story, although a little different than most.This is not a 10 out of 10 as the fanboy would have us believe. I give it a solid 7. I enjoyed watching it and would recommend it to other fans of animation.

jrmiller14454 First of all, I am going to note that the games were much more involved with the action and the overall theme of Devil May Cry.HOWEVER, most people that have given this anime a poor review and try to base the game on the anime seem to forget one little detail; a GAME NEEDS action to progress. This is one key element to a hack and slash/action game. That being said, I see a lot of unfair reviews bashing the anime because "it was so unlike the game". If it were made like the game in 12 episodes then we would see 20% personal character development and 80% all fight scenes. AND even THEN, the same group of people would be disappointed because of the lack of that. Give some credit where credit is due guys. Really, it was a GREAT work of anime and as there are with ANY production, some flaws to be had. An UNBIASED opinion is required for such a task as reviewing this. Unfortunately both I or anyone who has watched these most likely, shall ALWAYS compare them to the game. That is a sad realization, but all in all the anime was brilliant. Anyone who loves a good time would love this.

m4menghi As a huge fan of the games I felt like I was reading a bad movie adaptation of a book. There is maybe only one moment during the entire series when you feel like Dante is in any kind of danger, and without that there is just very little excitement. Even in what are supposed to be his hardest battles he never seems to be in danger, which knowing his background from the games is what you'd expect, but didn't make for a very exciting show. There are also many key elements lacking from the game such as his Devil Trigger, and gaining and using new weapons. The only reason I gave this a 5 was because it captured Dantes character very well and also had some excellent animation elements to it. If they continue this series I would hope the writers would play the games through and try to match what they see there.

mlanevic I love DeviL may Cry! The games are my favorite all time series, I love the books, I love everything about the universe! I have only seen episode 1 of this and from that episode it appears the story and style of the anime follows the Devil May Cry Novel by Shin-Ya Goikeda which is a GREAT thing! The story in the games are great but in the novel is where it truly shines and the real Dante emerges. As soon as Dante is first shown in the episode and he asks for a Strawberry Sundae I smiled. Anyone who has read the book knows that thats his favorite and seeing that in the anime was just killer. The dialog and story seems very Devil May Cry-ish. Not like the story in the games, definitely like in the novel. I truly recommend watching this anime its great especially for everyone who has read the novel. My only complaint from episode 1 is that in the beginning instead of Dante saying his tradition "Jackpot!" line he as "Bingo!" and it really made me sick. I was hoping he would say Jackpot.I can't wait for the series to hit the states in English so I can watch it all :D
