As we ease into the weekend with a somewhat quieter schedule, it's the perfect opportunity to highlight Netflix's latest addition to its animated series lineup, based on the beloved video game franchise. That's right, the Devil May Cry animated series is now available for streaming, bringing the stylish action of the iconic devil hunter Dante to your screens.
Featuring an impressive voice cast and brought to life by the acclaimed Studio Mir, this series is steered by the experienced showrunner Adi Shankar. Set in a unique universe and positioned timeline-wise before the events of the video games, it offers a fresh perspective on a younger Dante, showcasing his journey before he became the legendary figure fans adore.
The Devil May Cry franchise is currently experiencing a revival. With the monumental success of DMC:5 still fresh in gamers' minds, and the Western release of Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat by Tencent a few years back, the animated series is fueling further interest. This resurgence raises intriguing questions about the future of this enduring franchise.
This party's getting crazy!I have mixed feelings about Adi Shankar, but given his role in bringing Dredd to the big screen, I find it hard to harbor any real resentment toward him or his creative approach. However, some fans have expressed reservations about his more Americanized interpretation of Devil May Cry. Yet, the dedication and effort Shankar pours into his projects are undeniable.
