As we approach the weekend, things are a bit quieter than usual, making it the perfect time to highlight Netflix's latest animated series based on a beloved video game. That's right, the Devil May Cry animated series is now streaming on Netflix, bringing the iconic devil hunter Dante to life in a fresh, exciting way.
Featuring an all-star voice cast and stunning animation by Studio Mir, and with veteran showrunner Adi Shankar at the helm, this series has quickly captured the attention of fans and newcomers alike. Set in its own universe and positioned before the events of the original series, it offers a unique glimpse into a younger Dante, long before he became the legendary figure we know and love.
The release of this animated series comes at a time of renewed interest in the Devil May Cry franchise. The impact of the latest entry, DMC:5, still resonates strongly, and the Western release of Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat by Tencent a few years ago further stoked the flames of fan enthusiasm. With the animated series rekindling interest, it raises intriguing questions about the future of this storied franchise.
**This party's getting crazy!** While I have mixed feelings about Adi Shankar, his role in bringing Dredd to cinemas earns him significant respect. Despite some fans expressing concerns over his Americanized take on Devil May Cry, there's no denying the dedication and effort he puts into his projects.
