Since the launch of the beloved Devil May Cry game in 2001, fans have come to recognize Dante not only for his flashy demon-slaying prowess but also for his sharp wit. In the much-anticipated Netflix anime adaptation of this iconic series, viewers will once again witness Dante’s formidable demon-fighting skills. However, it seems his comedic flair might need a bit of polishing, as depicted in a lighthearted scene that showcases his struggle with humor.
Interestingly, Dante’s awkward attempts at making jokes bring an unexpected charm to his character, particularly in the eyes of the woman he rescues, who finds his antics more annoying than intimidating. This blend of coolness and comedic ineptitude adds depth to Dante, making him a more relatable figure in the series.
The anime kicks off with an energetic opening sequence set to Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’”, effectively capturing the vibrant spirit of the early 2000s, a time when both the band and the franchise were at their peak popularity.
Helmed by Adi Shankar, known for his work on Castlevania, the animated series promises an exciting experience. With Seung Wook Lee and Hideaki Itsuno serving as executive producers and Studio Mir leading the animation efforts, fans can anticipate high-quality visuals and engaging storytelling.
Mark your calendars for April 3, the premiere date for the first season of Devil May Cry on Netflix. Although Capcom has not yet revealed any plans for a sequel to the successful Devil May Cry 5 game, this anime adaptation has the potential to reignite excitement for the franchise and set the stage for more devilishly thrilling adventures to come.
