In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we noted its imperfections, such as the use of CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that tread familiar paths. However, series creator Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have managed to deliver a thrilling video game adaptation that pays homage to and critiques '00s Americana with a wild and bold flair. "If nothing else, it contains some of the best animation you’re likely to see this year, and its epic finale makes for a very effective tease for an even wilder second season," we concluded.
The renewal for a second season shouldn't come as a shock, considering Adi Shankar's earlier hints of a "multi-season arc" for the series.
