Based on the series of Devil May Cry games made by Capcom, the anime has an original storyline that uses the characters from the game. When I watched it, it was the first anime I came across that had so much blood because I was always watching the usual shonen genres. I thought to myself,"Great! Finally I get to see some real action, not just endless beating with only scratches." In DMC, blood pretty much squirts like a fountain and I thought it was pure ecstasy. It is pretty violent after all, befitting of the series. I do not recommend this to a young audience, please wait until you're a little older so that you can control your bloodlust.

Each episode is a devil slaying adventure. It's very refreshing to watch and it ties nicely to an overarching plot line. In addition to Dante, Lady, and Trish from the game (and perhaps more characters since I'm not too familiar with the game), the anime includes an original character, Patty. Patty is a little girl probably the age of 12 or something like that and she appears at the Devil May Cry agency frequently acting as a maid-like character. Her character becomes more significant towards the end of the series because she holds a special key. Dante and company I assume are faithful to the previous renditions in the game. Dante is cocky at times but is pretty laid back if you ask me. He's very competent and has a very stylish wardrobe. In the anime, Dante really likes strawberry sundaes which really contrasts all that fighting he does against the devils.

I thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack and pretty much hunted down for it because I like the opening theme of DMC so much. It has a lot of metal and orchestral elements that mirror the intense fighting and supernatural elements in the series. It is very action packed and the pacing is very fast. Even though it was my first bloody series, watching it a second time kind of lost its magic. (show less)

I have watched all of the episodes, decent story & there is nothing really new since he does the same thing in every episode where he is paid to slay demons in very episode.
Dante here is more serious then his video game counterpart where is more cocky & likes to chuckle a lot.
He is still cool, don't get me wrong, I like Dante & the character he is & still badass as we all know.
I just only wish they had more to it but all & all its still a more than a decent anime since the action scenes are very entertaining which makes up for the story which is decent(which I mentioned before) but no bad at all
I'll give this 3/5 & if you haven't seen this but played the DMC games, you have to watch this by all means (show less)
